Filming Journal
On Monday, 24th January, we filmed at Katie's house. The filming was successful, much better than the first time because we thought about the mise-en-scene and also applied a voice over whilst we were filming. We have uploaded the footage on to final cut pro and are currently editing!

Filming Journal.
On Tuesday 18th January, we filmed at Katie's house. Unfortunately, when we uploaded the footage on to the computer, the lighting was too dark and we couldn't use it for our title sequence.
We need to reshoot because of this problem. We also did not have a clear storyboard so in todays lesson we worked on our storyboard so we now know exactly what we had to film, and what shots we need to take. We have also realised we need to pay more attention to the mise-en-scene, as there were things in the background of the footage we had that shouldn't have been there.
We are reshooting on Monday morning when we have a double media lesson. With our clear storyboard and knowledge that we need to check our mise-en-scene and check the lighting is correct, the footage we film on Monday should be a big improvement to the footage we already have.

Typography fonts.
We have thought about using one of these fonts as they are similar to the fonts on an American baseball jacket, which fits in well with Graduation Day.

Title Fonts.
Some of the actors have changed (Rose is now played by Beth Rashbrook and Chad played by Dan Lloyd), but this is the typography that we are going to use.
Schedule!
Thursday 6th January 2011:
Made our production logo, title and the character credits
Friday 7th January 2011:
Taking photos of our characters for the Year Book! and filming the last shot.
Monday 10th January 2011:
After school film at Angelica's house.
After we complete this, we will have to decide in what order we are going to do the credits, and when we are going to show the 'produced by' and 'directed by', within the sequence keeping it in the time limit.

Feedback from class.
My group presented our Brief and Treatment to our class and received feedback from our idea. Overall, it was positive and they all said that our movie has definite potential.
Most people liked our narrative structure of starting in the present then going back to the past. A few did not understand it well but that may be that they did not understand our opening title sequence. Everyone liked our sterotypes of our characters as well as setting and how they all link into our genre of Rom-com. Futhermore, one feedback really liked our thinking of when to release our film because how it would attract to the audience.
We also need to work on how we would record the song by Jets as we are not allowed to use it because of copyright. Our group have decided to use a band that would change it around a little so it did not sound like the original.
