New production diary

1/11/12We were first put into our groups and we were told that we would be making our own film opening, our group was me , Lucy and phoebe. We first had a discussion of the genre of film we wanted to make and we spoke about different ideas that we had.

2/11/16-The next lesson we further discussed our ideas and decided on a teen drama where a young girl goes missing.

3/11/16-The lesson after this we thought about names for our film, we researched a few phobias relating to loneliness and isolation we also thought of other things to do with these themes. We decided to use Panophobia, meaning the fear of everything .

4/11/16-The next lesson we started to plan out the cast ,characters and the storyline , we decided on three main characters; Erin , Ilsa and Amber.

5/11/16-The lesson after this we worked together to produce a PowerPoint presentation of all the ideas we had so far, we did this over the course of a few lessons and when we finished we presented to the class .

8/11/16-In the next lesson we made a shooting schedule , this included the locations , dates and times that we would be filming. We also made a storyboard for each scene and the shots that it would include and for how long each shot would last. In this lesson we also made a prop list that included prices.

9/11/16-The next lesson we spent researching different videos that we could get influences from, we looked at music videos that showed teen rebellion, loneliness and some videos that ha some reversed scenes in it.

10/11/16-The next lesson we made a mood board showing the themes that our film would include we also did a risk assessment or when we film.

11/11/16-The next lesson was spent by making the missing poster and writing the script/voiceover , before we made these things we spent a while looking at real life missing posters and looking at missing people websites to make sure that our poster looked realistic. We also looked at real missing pleas that were on YouTube , this would help with writing the script.

12/11/16-The next lesson we decided to change our location, because of our new location we needed to call up tenpin bowling to check if it was okay to film there , once we called up we were told to email them , we then did this and waited 48 hours for a reply.

13/11/16-The following Monday we began to film for the first time. We did this at my house after school and this is where we filmed the come home plea, in this scene Lucy and Phoebe acted and I was behind the camera.

14/11/12-The following lesson we went up to a quiet and empty classroom so that we could record our voiceover, we recorded it on both my phone and Lucy's camera, we did this to see what quality of sound was best.

15/11/12-The lesson in-between then and the second time shooting were spent editing the footage that we already had

16/11/16 -That Thursday we went to film at the arcade, we took a disposable camera with us to take the photos that we would later be burning. Here we filmed most of our scenes.

25/11/16-The next time we worked was on Sunday at around 5 o'clock, this is where we filmed the burning photos and the scene where the missing girl both holds the lighter and watches the come home plea on YouTube, we met in the evening because we needed it to be dark, we filmed this at Phoebes house.

27/11/16- The next lesson where spent editing and uploading the work we had done so far onto the blog, we also redid the story board adding in the shot types and times. We also decided on a song that would best match our film.

28/11/16- When our first draft was complete it was presented to the class , we looked at our feedback the next lesson and took some key point and typed them up. Whilst Phoebe and Lucy edited the following lesson I made the poster for the film.

29/11/12- The next lesson while Lucy edited me and phoebe began to think of different ways to market our film, we decided that two of the ways would be on social media and on buses. Phoebe made the poster for the bus and I made the twitter page.

30/11/12 -For the next lesson whilst Lucy edited we continued to upload what we had done so far on to our blogs and also looking over our feedback thought of different ways of improving our work.

02/12/16-The next lesson we retook some photos because on the feedback it said that some of the ones we had were unclear. We took these photos around school and it took us the whole lesson.

03/12/16- The next lesson we redid some shots so that we had more shots other than just at the arcade , we also did this around the school.

05/12/16-The next lesson Lucy edited and me and phoebe began to tick of the checklist.
