Diary Entries

Diary Entry: 28/09/2017 Within this lessons, me and my media class watched the film 'The Others' where we gathered up notes whilst watching the film for different conventions and techniques. This included the basic ideas such as the setting, iconography and themes within the text. The main ideologies in the film were the dull, gloomy weather and abandoned house. I also took down important notes such as how the director implemented fear within his film with such little props and editing, he did this by playing with the darkness as that was the main aspect involved in the film. This was very helpful for me as due to the low-budget I will have to make my film, I was able to grasp some ideas as to how I can create fear and make it look realistic at the same time.

Planning: Location Shots

The location of my filming will take place at my house, where they will be scenes where she is waking up or has certain suspicions there is someone looking/following her within her own house. This creates a moral panic as the antagonist is invading her security from being within her home which is everyone's worse fear as that is meant to be one of the only places you can truly feel safe within. T he rest of the scenes will take place in a parking lot where more stalking will occur and just the general parts of the scene.  Practice shots I also did many practice shots and videos in preparation for my actual film production. This was during lesson when everyone was available, where me and my class went to Buckinghamshire to get some shots which were conventional, as well as learn different techniques along the way. This specific trip gave me the idea to film my actual production within Buckinghamshire and the Stowe area as I believe I could get some great shots, especially...
