Inspiration

This is the opening of the film Severance that we got some ideas for our running scence.

New Ideas

We have decided to cut some bits out and film activities, e.g. Playing basket ball, dancing and being with friends. We did this to put it inbetween the running scenes, as flash backs. This is to add effect and doesnt give too much away towards the film. Also we have added voice overs in the opening creditis, freez frames and music.

Real filming

We have officially finished filming our opening of a film. We filmed it in the haughton green vale, tameside. We have also started to edit it and made some samples of music for the backing track to go with the video capture. Also we are trying it out in different sets e.g colour, black and white, bits in sepia ect. This is to add effect to the mood of the film (which is thriller/horror). It will be finished soon as we just need to finish editing.

Test Filming

Today we did some test shots at Alexandra park in Moss side. We filmed running shots of Beth and Mussa being chased by Alberto. We did a tracking shot, point of view shot, long shot, extreme long shot. Today we will start to edit it and see what to keep and what to film again.

Research

For our video we are getting the inspration from the opening scene of 'Trainspotting', in our video we going to have the similar idea, but in our case is going to be a murder scene were beth and mussa are both getting chased by Yusuf,
