Today we finished capturing all the footage we had filmed and started to edit it. we decided to use shoot of the killer stalking her and setting the scene by using forest images. This will then lead up to the killer finding the girl and going up and talking to her which will be the end of our opening.

test shot and title

We started to film and got some test shots of the kind of shots we will edit in. These shots were things like flashing views of the forest and the surrounding area and shots of Rachel in different places. We then loaded this into finalcut ready to add in other footage after we have filmed it.

We then decided on the name of the film. We decided to call it "Captured" becuase this links in with the themes of both the pictures and the stalking of the main characters and the fact that they will be captured by the killer.

Shot list

We started the shot list so that we knew what to film for tomorrow. We also took some pictures of Rachel to use in the fiilm to show that the killer had been following her for a while. We will take a few on different days so that it looks authentic.

We completed the animatic storyboard, match the music with the pictures so it was all at the same time. We linked the music to what was happening in the pictures, so that is all fitted together.

soundtrack and animated storyboard

We carried on with the soundtrack and started to mix different sounds to create an overall fuller track. We also finished the storyboard and took picturess of this to load into Finalcut. This means that we can now import the soundtarck and the storyboard both into finalcut and match them together so that they link together and aren't mismatched.

Story board and starting the soundtrack

We carried on the storyboard and started to create the soundtrack which will be used for the animated storyboard. The soundtrack will start off quiet and increase as the camera zooms out and the killer is revealed to be watching the two girls. There will then be a dramatic sound when the killer is shown. As the camera then follows the killer the music will become very fast and dramatic as it tries to keep up with the killers movements. It will end with the music totally fading out and just having silent as teh killer starts to move towards the two girls.

Intial Ideas

Our intial idea is that there is a man following and watching two girls, it shows the photographs he has been taking and the weapon he is going to use.
The shots we are going to use are pan shots, long shots,reverse shots.
It first starts of with the man watching the two victims and taking photographs of them, it then goes to him walking back into the forest and moves in on the camera in his hand. After this is shows the pictures he has taken and he adds a new one to his collection. we then see him at the pond and getting a weapon and putting it in his bag. It then goes to the end of college and we see the two girls again, after this we see them walking by themselves and then we see the man/killer it ends with a shot of the killer and the girls as he is getting closer to them.
