Research and Planning - Music Sound Track Process

We were unable to access the format that allowed us to upload the software in which we can upload the music file onto blogger, however fortunately i can open the file through the computer, allowing it to run on Adobe. Here i provided some evidence by using print screen of the process of making the music clip on Fruity Loops Home Studio 8.

Research and Planning - Official Sound Track

We understand that we are more likely to get better marks once introducing either - non copyright music, or homemade soundtracks. Therefore after listening and discussing the previous soundtracks we found inspirational, we decided to attempted to use some of our experience from home interests making our own sample music. For this we used 'Fruity Loops8'. We also tried to make a soundtrack that the audience could connect with and not feel bored listening to.

Finally this is my favourite possible soundtrack so far, i believe it to be ideal for what we are after. it builds tension smoothly, however helps in introducing the charcters at the same time.

This seems as though it could be an ideal soundtrack for the morose atmosphere we are trying to create in our opening two minutes. I believe the sound track accompanied by the piano effectively helps illistrate the lifestyle of the wealthy brother whilst the drum beats represent the lifestyle of the deprived brother.

I feel this is a perfect tempo to the relevnce of what is going on in our opening sequence. It builds tension nicely whilst mentaining fairly dark and griity feeling to film. I also think this could then drop into another beat, with a faster pace keeping the audience on edge.

Research and Planning - Filming

Today we ventured out in aim of shooting all the footage needed for our opening two minute sequence. To ensure that we enough to cover the two minute required time length we filmed a few added scenes, worrying we wouldn't have enough. The reason for this was to make sure all external factors i.e weather and traffic were the same. Also to ensure we all were wearing the same clothes and sporting the same hair cut/style throughout, instead of filming half one day and half a week later where it's likely some of these factors will have changed. This did make it a time consuming day, constantly filming from 9am - 5pm, however we hoped it be most effective and possibly even save time in the long run.

Our first obstacle was having to dodge filming around cars that were parked temporarily as we needed to film every scence a number of different times from different angles so we could use fast, sharp editing. Therefore if we were filming the same secene over the course of 20 minutes, cars may have moved. We overcame this by filming when there were as little cars and other external factors as possible.

In our storyline the deprived brother steals a chocolate from a newsagent Our second obstacle was having to disscuss with the shop owner if this would be allowed for the good of our AS media work. Wwe weren't necessarily sure if we'd have permission to film in her shop, although after a bit of persuasion she let us go ahead whilst there were no customers.

Three teenage boys, let loose for a day, it was inevitable we'd make a mistake at some point. An unfortunate recording error whilst filming in the newsagent was our third problem. The footage we thought we had filmed whilst in the shop hadn't actualyy recorded. We had only realised this 15 minutes once we were at our next location. Luckily not too far away, after the embaressment we came back to the shop to re-film, luckily everything ran smoothly second time round.

These three obstacles awere fortunately quite small were are only real dilemas throughout the day, however i think we coped well and thought logically, allowing us to move on and carry on filming consitently throughout the day.

Research and Planning - Evaluation - Changes made from our original plan

When we filmed we aimed to stick to our original story board as much as possible, also we filmed a extra few scenes to have if possible incase our filiming didn't last two minutes. However once we uploaded our final
