20th October 2010.
In todays lesson we started and finished making our pitch for our teen horror movie. Our group thought of different ideas we thought were good and put them altogether to create the pitch with a working title and a storyline of the whole film. This is now finished to pitch to Mr Henton on the 1st of November. We also have ideas for when we move onto the pre-production stage of the task.

Prelimary Task Storyboards.
These are pictures of our prelim task storyboards, they gave us an idea on what we were going to film. When filming we started off with the shots from our storyboards but also added a few extra shots to extend the film and use a different range of camera shots and movements.

6/10/10- Wrong Turn
In todays lesson we watched the first 3 mintues of the film Wrong Turn and took notes on the the visual and audio techniques used.
Homework- Wrong Turn.
The audio effects we noticed in the opening were things such as the tempo of the music. The tempo and sound builds up when danger gets closer to the characters, every now and again there will be a loud drumming to show the danger is coming. The tempo will start of slower and then build up quicker as danger is approaching. We also noticed that all the music used to build up tension is orchestrial, using insturments like violins.
The sounds in the opening are louder than they would be realisticly. This will automatically make the audience jump when watching. As the music builds up what it coming then the sounds are enhanced. Like when the rope unravels down the cliff it sounds really loud to make the audience feel worried about whats going to happen next.
There are also lots of different visual effects used in the opening to Wrong Turn. The variety of camera angles and movements used show tension. At the start of the film there is a birds eye view shot of the area where the chacraters are showing that there are in the middle of know where. There is also lots of point of view shots in the opening this builds up the tension more as you can see whats going on from the characters view. The point of view shot is used when the girl sees her boyfriend fall down to the ground and when she is also being chased by what killed her boyfriend. This will worry the audience as they ccan see it through the character eyes.
The point of view shot also gets used when the characters are climbing the cliff shwoing how high up they are and how dangerous it can be. Other shots used are low angle shots and high angle shots when they boy gets to the top of the cliff showing power as he made it to the top first. To also build up tension they change from shot to shot quicker to show what is going on at different points.

Prelim Task Filming- 5th October 2010.
Today my group filmed the footage for our prelim task. During the time we filmed we used a variety of different shots and camera movements so we have lots to experiment with when we edit it all together to form our final prelimary task. We then put our footage from the camera to the macs ready to edit.

29th September 2010
In todays lesson I was absent but when I came back to school I catched up on the work I missed, in the lesson they:
Got introduced to the concept of film genre and looked at the conventions that we would expect to find in a horror film.
We were also asked to do a powerpoint on the history of horror films and on a chosen horror movie, I did this in my own time and my film was called 'dont look now'.
