On Sunday night I managed to film my close up sequence. but unfortunatley that is all I did. I couldn't film any of the shots with the Female actress as she is not available until the christmas break. So I am going to get all my filming done in the holidays, then we I get back into college, I will spend the rest of my time editing and maybe re-shooting some shots which I'm mot happy with.

Change of actor

I have had to use a different actress. So instead my actress is someone out of college called 'Molly Gladwin'. She fits my character well.

My partner Stevie, who originally was going to be the actress as it was part of her work as well, dropped out of college half way through the project and this has made me change my plans hugely.

I have had to commit most time at home to try and do everything on my own. I have had to find a new actress to be in my sequence and I have had to carry on all the planning on my own.

Change of plan

On Tuesday 9th December i successfully managed to shoot all my shots in my storyboard, i was really happy with my work. But, unfortunately I put the tape in the camera to watch my footage back and the camera chewed up the tape with all the footage on. Currently I am behind on footage as i lost most of what I had filmed.

My change of plan now is to take the camera home this weekend (Fri 12th- Sun 14th) and try and re-shoot my footage. I am also planning on taking a camera home over the Christmas break and filming during this time as well.

Title of film

I need to decide on a title for my film. I want my title to have meaning towards the plot of the film and to also be short and snappy as these sort of titles stick in peoples minds.

These are some of the titles I have brainstormed:

• SERIAL
• Who's next?
• Meurtrier en série
  
• Are you next?
• Slasher
• Murder
• Targeted
• Final Target!
• Last one

I have decided I like the title ‘Last One’ as I find it catchy and it has meaning.
The meaning behind it is basically the rest of the story.
The basic plot of the story is…

A man (a bit like a ‘Hitman’) and he has been hired to murder 15 certain people. The main part of the story will be about the ‘Last Person’ being a hard target to murder.

My opening sequence is showing the kind of character this man is, and to give the audience an idea that he is a ‘Hitman.’ It also shows a victim being murdered.

Last night I successfully managed to start my filming. I recorded about 6 shots and I am fairly happy with them all. In todays lesson I plan to editing my shots and decide whether any shots are going to need re-filming. I am hoping to film again tonight but this time, the close up shots and blood.

Tonight I am filming a few certain shots which contain the silhouette of the man and the dark shots as I think it will make more sense to film the similar shots all at once. Tomorrow night i am planning on filming the rest of the shots, then i have plenty of time to edit my shots and make them better. I will be filming tonight on my own with 'Kris holland.'
