Filming Locations

Locations Diagram by Louis Davis
For our ending sequence it was key to find two different filming locations to add diversity and magnitude to the final project.
We chose the two final filming locations to be in the forrest and inside of the conference room in block D to create the perfect scenes that we desired. Along with the two final locations we also had two trial and error locations which were the classroom and the office type setup we considered to film in these locations but in the final decision we found that they would not be suitable to create the right feel and atmosphere.

My Role - Director

Traditional Directors chair + Clapper Board
My leading role in the overall production is being a Director. 
My role consists of the overall direction of the whole project for example assisting in the filming sessions. 
A practical demonstration of my role within the task would be having the main part of writing the script which was used in the filming of the final movie and was used for the overall production as a whole.
Another demonstration would be making the final credits for our project.

'Hunted'


The theme for our ending sequence was based on the BBC hit Hunted! Above is the trailer for said series.
Hunted is based around sinisterness and creating good atmosphere which I believe we are creating in our group. Along with using many different editing techniques and tribulations we were able to create the perfect movie and sequences.

Looking back at the beginning of the project.

'Hunted' [Session 01] - Initial Ideas


Initial idea's poster
This was session one, the main session was based around gathering the groups ideas together and putting them onto an A-3 ideas sheet. The main idea of the idea poster was to collage our ideas on an easy to view poster, this was used to grab ideas and mood settings for different shots.
Overall I feel that we used the poster much to aid in overall creation of different shots.

Filming 'Hunted' - Filming Day 1

Collage of filming - Day one
Filming on day one was key for us because it gave us a chance to test our abilities to work well as a group. It was also key because it gave us a chance for trial and error, for example we didn't use little to any of the footage filmed on that day as it would not be suited in the film. We would rather of re-taken the whole scene. So we did that.
We arrived aware of time and quickly went to find an english classroom to film in. We set up the scene with the desk setup and the chair behind it. Like a traditional doctors office setup. And worked out which shots needed to be done. We then did the shots by trial and error method to find the best way of taking the different shots. At the end of the day we came back with completed shots we we then closer studied and chose not to use them, rather re film the sequence another day.
