FINAL Vamp opening!


Filming/Editing - 10th March

Firstly, Umbreen, Liam and Fabio went downstairs to film whilst I stayed upstairs editing. I added the title sequence and the soundtrack. I cut down the establishing shots and we managed to finish editing. Currently, we still need to add the production and distribution logo. After that we will be done!

Research: Sound/possible soundtracks




I like the last one the best! I feel it suits our gritty London establishing shots.

Rough script

F: I'm sick of hiding my secret..
L: What do you mean?
F: I'm sick of hiding myself!
L: Well.. it's not like you can tell people…
F: I can't be the only one like this.. there must be others
L: Wouldn't it be dangerous to find them?
F: Why would it be? They are my people… I'm sick of dealing with this alone. I want to find others like me.
L: Well how are you going to do that?
F: I don't know… But I'm going to try.

Editing, rough cut & feedback - 6th March


This is our very first rough cut! It is far from perfect and we need to do a lot more before it is complete. We need to add a soundtrack at the beginning, reshoot one shot and add the title sequence.

Marissa gave us some feedback, which was:

  • to reduce the amount and length of the establishing shots as they don't do much for the opening.
  • to add in another shot in between when Fabio is walking towards Liam of Fabio taking a seat. Preferably a mid shot.
We also need to film more conversation between Fabio and Liam because there is not enough and our opening only comes up just under 1 minute and 20 seconds. 

We aim to finish these last bits up in Mondays three hour lesson!

Editing day 1

Today we began editing. We have discovered some jumps and discontinuous shots. We need to film a little more and reshoot 1 or 2 shots, which we will hopefully get done in Mondays 3 hour lesson. We have finished editing our establishing shots together and part of the entrance.

Filming Day 2 - 13th Feb: Entrance

We didn't get much done today due to some technical difficulties we had at the beginning! This wasted half an hour of our time. Due to this, we only got a couple of shots of Fabio walking by the college. We didn't want to begin shooting the actual dialogue with our characters because we knew we wouldn't get it finished and this would create continuity issues when we eventually edited the footage all together.

After half term, we will finish up all of the inside shots in the canteen. We didn't want to split this scene into separate days of filming as the lighting would change and issues I mentioned before. (continuity)

Filming Day 1 - 10th Feb: The establishing shots

Today we filmed our establishing shots and all the ones without our characters in them. We got shots of the traffic lights, Angel station, various roads and crossings. We got a panning shot and a still one for each location so we can decide on which ones would look better when we edit. We also got shots of a telephone box as we thought it was typical London iconography and would be good to include.

We had a problem when going to Angel Square to film, as we did not know it was private property and security guards quickly (and meanly) put a stop to our filming, which was a problem. The weather was also horrible today - it was raining and cold. My group and managed to get our shots whilst the rain paused for a little while, so we overcame this problem.

On Thursday, we will be getting all of the shots with our characters in them. We just need to pop down to the canteen to film these shots as we have done all the shots we need to travel for today. This weekend we will work on a rough script, but we have already planned the shot types etc.
