GarageBand

Today I made a sequence on GarageBand for my opening sequence, I chose delicate but intense sounds as I thought it would fit the piece very well but I am going to edit it when I have all my filming completed for my final film. I used Piano sounds and a small drum beat to raise the tension

Re filming

I filmed more on the weekend but I tried uploading my footage and it did not work as the camera was damaged so I am going to go back and re film again one day this week, in the meantime I am going to start getting the hang of using GarageBand

Cast

I chose my friend Jessica Chowdhury to be in my film because I know she is good at drama as she took it for GCSE and A level so she is comfortable in front of the camera and she is quite photogenic so she looked good on camera. She is also quite confident and trustworthy so I knew I could trust her for when I needed to film or if I needed to redo any filming.

Finishing filming

I am planning to film more tomorrow afternoon so I will be able to put the footage onto Final Cut Express so that my editing will be done by Friday.

Sound And Dialogue

I decided I did not want any speech in my opening sequence, however I am going to have one voice over of  a girl screaming to add effect, other than that all of my sound is going to be diagetic

Risk Assessment Group 1

29th December 2011
- Filming at the back of someones house which is above a shop
Possible risks involved:

•  Getting in the way of people who work there
• Getting in the way of the neighbours
• Lighting could be bad as it is not in an open area

How could I eliminate these risks?
Keeping everything together and not messing around, getting the filming done quickly so I was not in the way for too long. Filming at a decent time before it gets too dark.

6th January 2012
-Filming down an alleyway
Possible risks involved:

• Getting in the way of passer by's
• Not enough space to film 

How could I eliminate these risks?
Film quickly and check to see if anyone is coming before beginning

6th January 2012
-Filming outdoors
Possible risks involved:

• Weather being bad, rain could ruin the camera and the filming

How could I eliminate these risks?
Plan to film when the weather is good and it is not raining
Have something to cover the camera with

Location

The location of my film sequence was in a dark alley next to a couple of flats. I thought this would make the atmosphere of the sequence quite eerie and mysterious as it is a dull area where there are not many people walking around so also I knew I wouldn't be disturbed whilst filming.
