Location and Recce Shots

For our film, we had to choose revelant locations to shoot in order to get the best shots. Our film was a thriller and therefore mainly set in a woodland. We also had shots at two seperate houses and a school field.

This is the woodland which we filmed a majority of our opening sequence in. It is called the Galleywood Common and is roughly 2 miles from our school. James and I walked from our school to the location first to check it was suitable and took this photo to show the group. After consulting the group, we decided this was a suitable location to film. The picture shown above is the exact location of when Chris first walks through the woods, right at the start of the sequence. It was an overcast and cold day, which added well to the mystery of why Chris was in the woods.





This is the route we had to take to Galleywood Common

 

 

This is James' room where we filmed Chris waking up from his dream, the final shot we see. We chose this place to film because it was easy to access because James is in our group and close to the school. The window on the far side (left side in the film) gave suitable lighting along with a lamp just below the window.

 

 This is the bathrub in which we filmed the shot of the anonymous girl dead in a lake. We got leaves from outside and added them to create the lake effect. The camera panned from right to left along the bath to show the whole body. This was in Sarah's house.

 

 



Our Risk Assessment

Here is our risk assessment sheet that we filled in before going out to Galleywood common and filming as this was the area that has the most risk attached with the destination as there were lakes and uneven ground.

Font Analysis

During the process of making our opening sequence we decided to change the title from 'Troubled Diversity' to 'Divided'.

As we changed the title we have now an opportunity to actually split the title 'Divided' and make it really effective, to give us our extra chance to get full marks with our opening scene.

On Adobe Premier we have been trying to experiment with the idea of actually splitting the word 'Divided'

An example of this would be the title of prison break, as it is divided in the middle and gives the same effect that we want to our opening scene. The idea that something isn't quite right with Chris' life.

Character Profiles

Here is a light-hearted intake into our characters introduced in the opening scene.

Film Title Change

After self and peer evaluation of our film title, we deemed it unsuitable to continue under the name 'Troubled Diversity'. As a result of this, we have changed the name to 'Divided'. We believe this creates a better vibe alongside the genre of the film and it is less of a mouthful.
