Individual Update Vlog

Camera Shots

Our group really want to make sure that throughout the filming process we remember to do a variety of different camera shots and movements. Therefore we decided to make a quick note on Rachel's phone so we can refer to it when were out filming on Friday.

A few edited clips

This is just a quick view of various toilet shots we got of Anna. We made sure we filmed Anna from different angles within the same shot because we want to make sure we have plenty of choice when it comes to editing. Our different angles includes a dutch tilt, birds eye view and high angle.
We want our two minute opening to be quick paced in order to project our 'spy' genre of film, perhaps as though Anna is being watched from various angles.
Note I had to force everyone into their places at the beginning, but we soon all got into it and were all happy with the shots we managed to get in the toilets.
This is our first taste of editing for our newly created 'FINAL FILM' project.

Group Vlog

A little group update on how things are going.. We've now got footage of our plane taking off, Heathrow arrivals scene and toilets. Were now working on the various London scenes we need to get of Anna travelling through hopefully passed a few iconic buildings such as the London Eye, Big Ben, The Houses Of Parliament, MI5 etc
During our storyboarding, we were discussing the use of the black cab although it seemed to be proving a little difficult to ensure we would actually get effective shots of Anna within the cab, from various angles. So... we've now decided to used Sinead's Black Mercedes in order to perhaps create a greater transformation from quirky traveller using public transport to MI5 professional using her supposedly private, chauffeur driven car.
Our two minute opening seems to be an ever evolving idea, although with each new element we seem to get more excited about our genre and concept.

The transformation of Anna

Originally we planned to film the various toilet scenes of Anna's transformation in Heathrow. However, after a few rather suspecting glances from people we all decided that it was best not to take the chance of taking that we hadn't got caught filming for granted and just leave!
We then decided to film in the school sixth form toilets, which we all found was luxury as we had no worries of being 'moved along'
We set up and all morning we spent climbing the various walls and cubicles all in the name of media. In these images I created a platform for Rachel, which involved carrying the common room tables in order to get an aerial shot of Anna from inside the cubicle. Overall a successful morning filming. Now for the cold streets of London..
