Chosen Song.




Reasons Behind Our Chosen Song
The backing track we have chosen to use in our film opening is called ‘Addicted’ by unsigned, British artist Suchy LA. It took our longer than expected to find a suitable sound track which would fit the codes and conventions of a chick flick that was from an unsigned artiest and was of a proficient quality to be downloaded.  As a group we think that this track is a good choice because of its female vocals and light, upbeat tempo which will work parallel to what the audience will be able to see on screen.

Filming with Digital Cameras.



This is footage from our first couple of days filming. My group and I are worried about the quality level of our footage so I have suggested that we film using SLR cameras rather than digital and to re-film the shots we have already filmed to ensure we achieve the best out come possible.

Sounds and Music.

For our film opening, my group and I need a up-beat and light song- ideally a British artist with female vocals. Our group are also considering having a narrator speaking over the music about 30 seconds in to the opening. After our opening credits (scrap book scene).

Book Opening Angles

For the first seconds of our opening, we are going to have an over the shoulder shot of a girl going thought a A3 black and pink sketch book with images of the main characters and the opening credits. Much like the opening for St Trinians but it will not be animation. In these pictures, we have asked a model to sit holding an A3 sketch book which is the same size, shape and colour as the one we shall be using. These pictures show the possible an angles and camera positions we could use. Some were more successful than the others. I personally think the third shot is the most successful as you are able to see the book most clearly.
Next we shall experiment with filming.
