Filming Problems

Even though our filming didn't go as smoothly as we wanted it too, we managed to get it DONE.


We didn't realise that when filming on a phone that if we're holding the phone portrait when we transfer it to imovie it was landscape too with black bits either side and when we rotated the footage to get rid of the black sides it stretched the image.

The main issue I have with this is that there isnt anything that we can do about it...besides make it work, when we added the credits on we had them to the right side making the black sides look on purpose.

LOCATION SHOOTING WOO

Before we started filming we thought it best to take some test shots of our location to give us an idea of what our film will look like but also to test things like the lighting, angles.

This is the room where we will be shooting Ollie's character pushing about Ophelia's character, we had the main light off and then the lamp shining onto the bed creating a shadow on her side of the bed to try and show that she is in his shadow and less important than he is.

This is the church entrance that we will be shooting from, at this point in our film the 'happy married couple' will exit and walk towards the camera smiling and laughing, from this point we will add the fade into the new abusive relationship. (Yes that is me posing, dont I look cool)

The Union Jack sofa is where the female character sits on to hide, this isnt the right angle as when we filmed it, it looked better if we filmed it from directly behind the character to fit in with our theme of an old film tape recording.

Besides the church this is where we set our project! Lara's Pool house, it has everything we needed so we only had to shoot in two locations! which under our circumstances was brilliant!

This is me on set being fireman lifted by Ollie, thought it was a moment that had to be documented, sorry for the poor quality of my camera skills.

This is Ophelia in her costume for the second half of the filming, this was before we had messed up her makeup to make her look like she had been crying.

The scene where Ollie is punching the bag, hes got the gloves on here. ( you cant see them because hes blurred) We asked him to wear the gloves for the test shots so that he didnt damage his hands....as he liked to see how hard he could punch it.

This is the inside of the Church we filmed in. This is the shot that we used when filming the consermation of the marriage,however when we took the test shot we hadn't worked out how to turn the lights on...hence the darkness.










(more images and costume/make up to come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Mid way hick-up

As Lara and I know the storyline back to front and we know about the back story we seemed to overlook certain things and we thought we may so we asked our teacher Mr Bunce to give it a watch and tell us what he thinks is good and bad! - realistically we just wanted to know what we should improve to make it even better.

He told us that there is a slight flaw in the storyline, if you dont know the back story that is. Its a man doing some boxing and then without giving a reason goes in and starts to beat up his wife....the question was why? why did he just go in and wake up his wife and push her about.

SO

We decided the way around this was to add in a small extra scene of Ollie saying something to let the audience know why he is pushing her about.


We will be filming as soon as the half term is over. - we settled on Thursday 26th.

Onwards and Up!

Sound Effects

The only sound effect we are going to add in is the sound of an old film reel. As our film has been made to look like an old fashioned film we thought it'd be an appropriate introducing sound into our section of the film. To tell the audience that the film is set out like an old family hand held camera film.

the choices:

my personal favourite is the first clip, the other two almost sound like aeroplanes about to take up or an engine whereas the first is spot on. This sound effect will be played when we show our production logo before the film clip starts.

Title

After a long time thinking about what to name our film we decided on  Rose Tinted. We chose this name because of the saying 'when you're wearing rose tinted glasses'

rose-tinted glasses

  (British, American & Australian) also rose-tinted spectacles (British)

if someone looks at something through rose-tinted glasses, they see only the pleasant parts of it She has always looked at life through rose-tinted glasses.

We have related this to how our main female character is only seeing the good things in her husband and is ignoring the abusive side of him by letting it continue. 

Updates on Music

As our whole piece changed we had to change the music. We decided on two songs for the two different sections of our film.

We settled on the song At last by Etta James and then a cover of Say Something by Jake Quickenden

We chose these two contrasting songs to show contrast in their relationship at the beginning to the end.  -

update on actors.

Life saver

As you may have read we have had a fair few troubles with pinning down an actor for our male role. Our first actor - Henry couldn't act as he was called into a last minuet meeting and then our backup Jacob was told by his boss three hours before we were set to film that he had to go ride ( He is a jockey) SO we finally found someone Ollie ( life saver)

Name: Oliver Lavis
Age: 18 years









Luckily our female actress was around so we didnt have to find a replacement and she was super.
