New idea

After much discussion, our group realised that we were still trying to put to much into our video- and took us all a while to realise that it was more about the shots- oppose to what’s in them, of course the mise-en-scene and the meaning of the film is just important.

We decided to go to heading ton hill- we decided this would be our location, after figuring the dream would revolve about mysterious events therefore it needed to be in a small compact space although this would be visible to the audience as it would be in different locations- areas but edited all together. We found the perfect location, and luckily the sun was beautiful and was shining exactly where we needed it. The first shot was beautiful it was of Elise standing in the middle of the tree with the sun hitting the left of her. This looked stunning, she then jumped of the tree and ran towards another dreamily, we also did a shot from a tree to get a high shot. We were lucky to get this filmed, we had some problems with are camera. Connie had informed us that the camera was playing up however Ellie filmed some footage on her way home and the camera was working ok, once at our filming destination the camera screen was black. It took us around 10 minutes to get the camera working, after filming this short piece of footage the camera once again went black, we did what we did in the first place twice and tried to fix it in more ways however after thirty minutes of discussion and trying to fix the camera we were all freezing and decided to leave. It was a real shame, because unfortunately we had everything we needed.

On Tuesday, whilst in media we were trying to figure when we all had a free day but because of our busy schedules with- drama, art and business and psychology exams it was hard to fit anything else in. We decided to go on that day, and get it all done we went to heading ton hill after school and film a lot more that we previously had with a much better quality camera which everyone was really happy about. However it became increasingly dark very soon by this time it was 5 30. We decided to go to South parks- opposite where there was a bit lighter and filmed another short piece of footage. We then decided we would all come out on Sunday to finish completely.
