Our film

Problems

We had some trouble exporting our film as the room we needed to use was unexpctedly needed by a year 8 class so we didnt have any time to export it. This ment we couldnt upload it to our blogs by the deadline, however we are now exporting the film so we can upload it to our blogs asap.

Filming

James Jordan and Abbas Ted played the gangsters and wore a suit, hat and tie as this made the roles more believable. We chose to film our movie clip near a church and graveyard in Witton Gilbert as the area fitted in well with the script and created a sense of mystery and secrecy. The area is rarely used apart from the odd few dog walkers and runners, which made filming slightly longer as we had to wait until there was nobody around so there wasn't any unwanted people in the shots. We also filmed in black and white to make the film look more authentic and believable, next time we will film in colour so we can choose between the two. We are now currently editing the shots in lessons and in our own time.

Storyboard

Movie pitch

Sci-fi /Western

Niel, the commander, loses an important hard drive from his spaceship. Realising it fell down to earth, they set on a mission to retrieve it. However the enemy spaceship also knows that the hard drive has landed on earth. Both spaceships race to earth but due to the speed they end up in western times. The cowboys who find the hard drive on earth are fascinated by the strange device and make a shrine to it. This makes Neil's job to retrieve the hard drive even harder.

Our first videos

This is the first sequence of shots we took and it was the first time we had used the camera. We didn't have a tripod at this point so the shots were quite shaky.

This is the second sequence of shots we took, the videos are sped up so the sound quality isn't very good.
