Day 1- filming

Today it was our first day of filming, everything went better than we expected. However,we did experience some difficulties such as, doing a perfect tracking shot, a high angle shot and a pan. We also took extra pics, pics 5-13 are all of the location so that we remember where we stopped recording. We took extra shots just in case we experience more difficulties when recording. We did shots that's were not on the storyboard because we thought they worked well and we also know that we might have more shots from different angles in the future. Can't wait for next recording day, have good plans...

P.S. Remember to wear a coat, gloves and appropriate shoes.

Day 1- Filming

So today we started filming our opening scene, and overall i think it went well! We managed to get 5 clips done, and when we looked at them again at the end of the day, they looked greate. And this time we gave ourseleves enough editing options, we shot each clip minimum twice and from different angles.

P.S- Not to self: for when we are filming next, wear proper shoes- my shoes got totally ruined because of the mud, and bring gloves- It was freezing! and bring tissues and a carrier bag to carry everything :)

Im looking forward to filming again. And this time we will be more prepared!

Dead Man's Shoes- Textual Analysis

The poster of this movie has only 3 main colours: Black, Red and White, and these colours are very dominant! The word "dead" is writtien in red across the black shadow of a man who is holding an ax weapon! this makes the word even more strong and meaningful. When i see this poster, staright away i know that this movie is going to be a thriller.

Filming:Day 1

Today was the first day of filming and we managed to shoot 5 tiles on our storyboard and used lots of different angles and made sure to shoot two different takes to make sure we had lots to work with during edit. We have kept on schedule with filming even though the camera had no battery and we had to wait for it to charge for a while before we could film which lost us some valuable time. We have made good progress today and have sot some good material. I was a little nervous before hand as acting in the film is a big pressure, but hopefully I have done and will do a good job.

Tormented opening sequence analysis

Tormented was directed by Jon Wright.

The film had an estimated budget of £700,000 and was produced by BBC Films, Pathé and Forward Films.   

Tormented is a low budget British horror released in 2009. It is about a school student who commits suicide after being bullied and ‘tormented’ as the title of the film suggests and comes back to get revenge on the people that bullied him, by sending threatening texts and then murdering them one by one and making the pupils turn on one another in the process.

Tormented begins with head girl Justine, being taken out of the High School by police which establishes the setting and as she is wearing school uniform it is immediately clear she is in high school.
It then cuts to a flashback 5 days earlier and Justine is reading a speech at a funeral for a student who has committed suicide.
This introduces the audience to the dark themes of the film as there is a death introduced within the fist 2 minutes of the film. The speech also shows again that it is a British film through the British accents. The British way of speaking and humour is shown throughout the film through one-liners which is typical of British films.
The use of the flashback in the film shows that there something to be solved with in the plot of the film, in this case that the students are being murdered and throughout the film we see that it is the dead boy killing them, however Justine being arrested suggests to the audience she is the killer. This intrigues the audience and draws them in as there is a mystery to be solved and gaps in the narrative to be filled in. We are going to use a flashback in the film and if it works should have an effect similar effect of intriguing the audience.
