Initial Ideas!

My group consists of Deniz, Hannah and I. We decided to make our story-line very simple and easy to understand. We start of with two girls in separate house who are out getting ready to go out. These two girls are Natalie and Deniz. Deniz will ring Natalie and there will be a close up shot of the phone ringing. The girls will then decided to meet at a train station, however Deniz gets told by her mum that she must walk the dog before she leaves. Next the camera shows both girls leaving and follows their footsteps. Deniz then gets followed through the park by an unknown character. Her dogs runs away and the unknown character brings the dog too her. As the character unveils herself it turns out to be someone Deniz knows.

Meanwhile Natalie has arrived at the train station and is waiting for Deniz. As she bends down to pick something up the camera zooms in on a hand that is about to grab her. Deniz then arrives at the train station to find Natalie is not their but and item from her person is left at the station.

The last scene is Deniz and Hannah two of Natalie's friends, sitting around a radio listening to a news report about Natalie's possible abduction. Deniz tried to call Natalie again and the camera flashes to a scene of the same hand from the train station reaching to pick up the phone and then it ends.

Working on Final cut pro for the first time.

My first time working on final cut pro was a much easier experience than I thought it was me. I naturally took the leading role and made sure that I knew everything and made sure that I had my go with everything. I instinctively took the leading role and took control of the computer as no one else wanted too.

Working on final cut pro was very interested as you got to learn step by step just how precise and careful you have to be when editing and putting together your own film. 

In the first part of the lesson we had to watch all of our shots and name them all and then label them best take, good take etc. This proved to take a very long time. All in all it took about 20 minutes minimum for us to get all of the takes in and labelled. This taught me about just how detailed the process is.

Next it was implementing the best takes and getting them all next to each other. this also proved quite simple as it didnt really take much time and all you had to do was tell the computer where you wanted it to play and drag.

I feel that the hardest part was continuity. It was hard to get everything perfect every time and this proved to take a lot of concentration and patience.

Lastly we added the title which was very straight forward.

• He also like to include close up shots of women's hairstyles. 
• Almost fascinated with the acronym BM which stands for 'Bowel movement' he always found a reason to have a scene in a bathroom. Whether it was a hiding place or simply for love making the bathroom was the scene.
