Film Synopsis

The sequence/story of how the film continues from the shown death.
1. girl dies
2. 3 days earlier we see her walking out of work and stands outside waiting for something/someone.
3.A woman walks out of the office and says goodnight and walks down the road, a car pulls up, scarlet gets in.
4.Her best friend is driving the car, established through friendly dialogue. The friend is a typical stereotype of a near,glasses, skinny which provides comic relief.
5.They pull up outside a block of flats and get out the car discussing scarlet running for the marathon and jake (the best friend) teases her about it.
6.They go inside and the camera becomes point of view suggesting someone is watching them suggesting that person is the murderer.
7.The next day scarlet is shown getting ready to go out for a run leaving her ipod behind which shows the audience this isnt the day that she dies.
8. She jogs around and then sees a strange man staring at her from down the path.Scarlet stops and runs onto another path as the man has scared her.
9.It then cuts to scarlet leaving the woods and going back to her flat.She comes in and Jake tells here theres a message on the phone for her because he missed it. When she plays it, she can hear the sound of footsteps running, she look towards Jake and tension in built then Jake suddenly turns and laghs dismissing the call as competition for the marathon trying to freak her out. Scarlet doesnt look convinced .Scarlet goes to work and we see her walking towards her desk.
10.Days pass and its in the morning where the audience see's Scarlet get ready for her jog. she is wearing the clothes she wore when she got murdered which can suggest to the audience that this is the day that she gets murdered.
11. Jake figures out who the murderer is, which makes him the hero as most teenage films use (best friend as the hero). The audience with Jakes help find out that the murderer is infact a psychopath women .
  --> This challenges a convention of a thriller because normally the murderer is a man.

Peer's review

Over the past week i showed our opening scene to a few of my friends and i asked for their opinion.
I got all positive feedback which i am really glad about because we all have worked very hard on making this perfect.

My friends really loved the music and the camera shots/angles. And they really got into the movie and they wanted to see/know what happens next. I am very happy that they got into it because that is what one of our aim was, to draw the audiece in, and i believe we have accomplished that.

Uploaded film and evaluation prep

Today as our film has been finished and is uploaded to Youtube, we have started to write our evaluations ready to give in on Friday, which is the final deadline. I am proud that our group has finished on time (thanks to the deadline mix up I think!) and we now have a good head start on evaluating. I have already started preparing my answers to questions and I think I might do a PowerPoint or a podcast to hand it in.

What we need to do

Now that our opening scene is complete, we now have one week to start and finish our evaluation!
I was looking through what we have to do, and I dont really want to do a podcast so i think i will do a presentation!

Mahida

AAAHHHH

Screaming!
In friday's lesson after composing our music we realized that we still needed to find the perfect scream! and for that Becky, Sarah and I went out to the school field and recorded each one of us scream until we found the perfect scream!
For the scream we used my scream, i had to do it a few times to get it to be exactly right!

Deadline

We met the deadline!!! Wohoo!
On Friday it was our movie deadline, and when we showed it to sire, he loved it and was very pleased. On Friday's lesson we finished off composing our music, it didnt take us that long and once it was done, it sounded great!
