Susie came up with a great idea for the begining of our film to create a spooky atmosphere. Hopefully it will really make it look as if there is someone around! Its a camera shot of a scene in Desperate Housewives. The camera comes up the drive and 'fades' through the door into the house.
Mr V did a mock up of what we wanted in the leason today, so we know its possible! It looks brilliant and will really add to the effect of our film

Intruder storyboard!
After having planned the first two minuets of our film, Vickie drew us out a storyboard of our film, as a plan for filming...
Camera Filming plan - INTRUDER
Filming Plan
Start on a wide shot of the house
Camera walks towards the front door (like a zoom)
Fades from front door to inside the house (editing)
Camera carries on walking through the hall and turns right into living room to see a girl (Jess) sitting on the sofa
Wide shot of the room, with girls back to camera (still sitting on sofa). Phone rings and girl picks it up and is talking on phone.
Cuts to a shot taken from outside the house, looking at girl through the window. Hear the girl talking through the glass – muffled
From window shot, see girl get up and starts walking
Cuts to inside the house, shot behind the girl
Camera follows the girl to the bottom of the stairs
Camera cuts (and is moved to the top of the stairs) to see girl coming up the stairs
When girl reaches top, camera pans left and follows girl into room (over the shoulder view)
Cuts to wide shot of girls head poking in the door of the room and see child in bed asleep
Suddenly cuts to shot of phone downstairs ringing.
Girls’ right hand comes into shot
As she brings it to her ear, camera pans up and right to a close up shot
Cuts to camera shot through the window, of the girl. She is talking and pacing up and down, heavy breathing is heard from phone
Cuts to close up of girl looking puzzled and scared
Full body shot of girl and sofa as she goes and sits down and reaches for remote
Cuts to shot of phone on table – ringing
Wide shot/full body shot of girl as she picks up the phone and answers
Camera watches girl look up to ceiling and pans up with her head movement as footsteps and creaking are heard from above
Camera follows the girl, as she gets up, to the bottom of the stairs
ENDING ONE
Camera cuts (and is moved to the top of the stairs) to see girl coming up the stairs
When girl reaches top of stairs
Camera comes in behind her to an over the shoulder shot and follows girl into room
Follows her to window and her looking out, camera can’t see what girl sees
ENDING ONE A
Cuts to extreme close up of girls face gasping
ENDING ONE B
Camera cuts to extreme close up of girls face, and zooms out as she whizzes round and falls down to a crouching position, holding her knees.
ENDING TWO
Cuts to a perspective shot of girl coming up the stairs and reaching the top
Scary looking boy walks from one room to another
Girl follows boy in, wide shot of an empty room.

More Brainstorming
After all our brainstorming idea for a plot of our film, and scanning you-tube for ideas, we have decided to plan our idea on a film called 'When a stranger calls'
It involves a babysitter who goes to a isolated house to babysit a little girl...
But in our film, we are only filming the first two minutes...
So we want to start our film with a black screen. Spooky music would start and a wide shot of our house would flash on screen.
Speech
The girl will be sitting on the sofa, talking to the parents, 'Yes he's fine...everything is going great...he's in bed now' You will hear her speaking, but not the parents reply.
Then she goes to check on the child to see if hes OK. On the way downstairs the phone starts ringing and she runs down to answer it. All she hears is a heavy breathing. 'who is this? this isn't funny' she says down the phone but the breathing carries on. She hangs up and carries on watching TV. Then the phone rings again, and all the watcher hears is heavy breathing again 'Seriously who is this. This isn't funny' She says. A creak is heard upstairs 'Go back to bed, Jim' Then a reply on the phone says 'what makes you think its Jim' This freaks the girl out and she runs up to check on the boy in bed.

Brain Storming idea's for our courcework film!
So, for our preliminary idea for our two minuet film, we were going to have two teenage girls going to a party. They would be driving along in their car with r&b music blaring loudly out with the windows down but the plot would turn when they break down in the middle of a woods. They would hear rustling and noises coming from the woods, but the driver would be brave and get out and go and have a look under the bonnet. A few minuets later the girl waiting would call out, with no reply...she would have vanished. At this point the lights in the car would go out, but the fog lights would come on and in front of the car, with the lights shinning on her would be the driver looking like a zombie type figure. Gaunt, pale, bloody. She would be 50meters away. With a few quick cuts and some bangs of the music, she would cut 40, 30, 20 meters away... when, all of a sudden the girl would appear on the bonnet of the car, with no expression on her face. Staring at her friend.
This was such a good idea, until we realised that there were a few problems.
a.) The lighting would be difficult - it would have to be filmed at dusk or put a filter on it when it comes to editing
b.) None of us can drive - so getting a car and driving it would be a problem
c.) Location of filming would be difficult - finding a woods were unlicensed drivers could drive, and there would be enough lighting to film and lots of space.
So...this idea would be difficult to fore fill... it was back to the drawing board to create a better thriller/action/horror film!!!

courcework
Ok, so I wanted to write up about our coursework in chronological order on my blog, but on our first filming session I left all my notes at Vicki’s, so I haven't been able to type them up and report on our progress. I have got them today, so will type them up and hopefully have it all done and up to date by the end of the week!
So im the meantime, i found 25 Random Things about Barbie!!! (as its her 50th!!)
1. I’ve been in the fashion biz for 50 years now.
2. But I still don’t look a day over 18.
3. I’ve had super smooth skin my whole life (I know, I'm lucky).
4. I’ve had over 100 jobs and careers, literally.
5. My closet is crazy. I own over 50,000 outfits.
6. I do a lot of modeling, but have never been tall enough to walk a runway.
7. I went to school in New York, but now I live in LA.
8. My feet were simply made for heels.
9. My main squeeze and I have been on-again-off-again for the past 48 years. Now, we’re on again. :)
10. I used to jazzercise in a unitard. Seriously.
11. I’ve been to the moon and back.
12. My philosophy? A great handbag can save any outfit.
13. I’m an animal lover at heart, and I own over 50 pets.
14. I have a serious thing for pink.
15. I never go out without my makeup on.
16. I love, love, love driving fast cars.
17. I’m a big sports fan and have been in the Olympics for gymnastics, figure skating and downhill skiing.
18. The beach is one of my favorite places: Malibu is just dreamy.
19. I still can’t believe I had a whole runway show at NY Fashion Week.
20. I’ve actually been in the military. The pentagon even gave me a seal of approval on my outfit!
21. I change my hairstyle almost as often as my clothes.
22. Over 70 designers have made custom outfits for me.
23. I once played in an 80s rock band. We were kind of a big deal.
24. I have four sisters: Skipper, Stacie, Kelly and Krissy.
(i should add that i found this by searching gossip girls??? Odd huh!)
