bookings

we booked out the camera for a weekend on the 11th of december and we did most of our filming then. we then booked it out again on the folling monday so we could add the finishing touches. i don't think we will need to book the camera out again because we have finished filming.

filming

we booked the camera out for a weekend so we started filming on Friday 11 December, we commenced filming straight away. we started filming after collage on friday we had sorted out a room to film in. we used a couple of extra little touches to make the room look like a prison, we used a couple of pictures of freinds and family of the criminal and also we had prepared a letter for the criminal to read. we had little resources to make the scene look authentic so we use some effects to make it look like the criminal was crying.

then the next day we met up at our location outside around the back of collage and filmed the rest of the crime drama. except for the cashpoint scene which was done by shaheema. we filmed the scene where the victim is shot and the criminal running away. we thought that we needed some extra footage so we filmed agian on the follwing monday. on monday we filmed criminal running to his gang and him being caught.

group work

• sound=me
• camera=hannan
• team leader director=shahima

we are short of a fourth member so we are all going to do the editing together. me and shahima are going to be in the crime drama and we are going to get some other people to be in it as well.

props

in terms of props we are going to keep it basic, we are only going to use:

• credit card



• bag



• hooded clothing



• police badges

we were going to use a fake gun to show the criminal shooting the victim but we thought that would make the crime drama look cheap and unproffessional. instaed of actually showing the victim being shot we are going to use sound effects to suggest a gun to the audience. i think this will be a lot more effective than showing a gun.

final step outline

this is the new step outline. ther have been some changes made and the storyline has been extended so that it is more interesting. our first storline ended when the victim was robbed and shot but we thought that we needed to add another significant event into the opening sequence. this is the scene which shows how the criminal is captured.

Initial step outline:

The initial step outline for our group opening sequence of the crime drama, was created on 20-11-09. This was to create a set idea of the sequence of our crime drama. However, some changes may have to made as we are constantly analysing the ideas in order to make it practical to perform. This is the rough version of the step outline.
