FRIDAY 1ST APRIL 2011
After we did the green screening we thought that we might as well film more features which linked towards the news report, we got mike to be an interviewer interviewing Lucy who was the protagonist's boyfriend in the production, we took many takes to get a perfect shot and we thought that we suceeded in this, we also filmed a segment about the last time anyone sat the protagonist in the film and where he worked. Then we decided to also add a voice message from his girlfriend who is begining to become worried about the where abouts of Koceila.
WEDNESDAY 30TH MARCH 2011
After friday, we though that we had finished all the filming that we needed to do, but whilst we were editing we came to the conclusion that we needed more film, the downfall to our production was that there was not enough actions occuring in the film, at the moment we only had Koceila running and it could easily make the audience bored with the production, so we diecided on adding a news report to the film as it will link together with the disapearence of the protagonist, so we gained permisson off the technition and we filmed in the media production room on the green screen, there we created a news room where the news reporter would inform the audience that the protagonist has gone missing, this was redeemed a huge sucess as it added the suspence of what happened to the protagonist and what happened to him in the events leading up to his dissapearence. In the media room, we had many special features such as a word promp which would give Kelsea the words to say in the filming. on ther whole the green screen was a brilliant inclusion to the film.
FRIDAY 18TH MARCH 2011
Today was the last day of filming, we needed to film the most important section of the film the scence where the portagonist comes face to face with the follower with match consideration we decided to film in colleges boiler room as we felt the lighting and look of the room fit in with our film perfectly. One advantage of the boiler room was that it was dark which gave a scary effect to our film, although this also worked as a disadvantage as the camera had no lighting and was in complete darkness. To achieve a good camera lighting yet keep the scary darkness effect we went to a photography room and asked to borrow a spot light to give a certain amount of lighting. Through the whole process of filming we had to make sure both Koceila and Mike (the follower) wore the same outfits each filming day to achieve continuety correctly and officiatly.
WEDNESDAY 16TH MARCH 2011
Great! The weather was miserable keeping up the continuety correctly. We filmed the chase on Oxford Road and on the water front and at the G-mex. We came across a chacter problem as we attempted to try and include a member of the public in one of the shots to allow to film to look more realistic but when doing so and filming the public were looking at the camera resulting in the shot looking unrealistic. To resolve this we waiting until there was very few people around before we filmed the next shot.
FRIDAY 11TH MARCH 2011
Our second day of filming was riddled with good and bad luck, first of all it was a grim day, cold and cloudy, brilliant. The grimness matched the horror genre we attempted to achieve & it helped achieve continuity as it was the same weather as wednesday. We also suffered a case of bad luck as after we made the bus journey to town we then realised thast the group forgot to pick up the memory card, this was vital as it would of saved all our filming progress, with no card there was no filming, so Koceila went back to college to pick up the card and this wasted fourty minutes of filming time. Eventually, we finally began to film and we were able to film the entire section under the bridge and the scene in the undergroung car park,so on the whole, the day was redeemed a success.
WEDNESDAY 9TH MARCH 2011
Today we stated filming, we today filmed in deansgate trainstation and there we filmed Koceila walking off the train and runiing down the slope and the stairs. It was a cold, cloudy day se we attempted to film an as efficiently as possible so we all pulled together and rotated the job of filming and setting out the scenery to match the storyboard we created.

Locations
For our filming we have decided to film in two different locations to capture the best Mise en scene for the horror genre and to fit our storyboard, the first Loaction we have decided to film on is on the trainstation platform, which is used in the first scene, this is used as it shows the sense of isolation between the protagonist and urban life. and realsm in the shot.
Then the protagonist walks up a tunnel, this is used as it is much more darker and concludes a horror stereotype.
Then we will film
down the walkway and the path following the manchester ship canal, we decided upon this location as it indicates the sense of danger in the filming as the protagonists has no were to run if in a case of danger.
Then We filmed on oxford road itself, this was included to create a sense of realism in the clip, the protagonist is being chased yet there are prodestrians who do not know what was occuring to the protagonist.
The last area we filmed in was in a boiler room in the college, this adds to the troumatic effect of the chase, it is dark and damp which adds to a horror ending of pain and suffering which is a good effect to include in the profect
We also used the green screen which was a special feature in the college, we used it to report the news that the protagonist has gone missing, this was very useful as it added more realism to the production as there is the scene of the whole news set. This was a great advantage and effect to add to the film.
Th
e last area we filmed was in the reception of our college building, some may say that this was too roiginal and that we did not try hard ehough on getting the best ares to film the production but the reality is that the college was ideal, it is set out with plantation and has staircases which matches the appartment scene we attempted to achieve, sometimes the best things in life are right under our noses.

The Messengers
For our main project we ha
ve decided to make an opening to a horror movie, we will add a modern twist of imcluding a comical twist to the film, In our horror film we will have a storyline that the mainprotagonist is being followed in the film by a mysterious figure and then suddenly confronted. We have gains inspiration for this idea off the 2007 film, the messengers in this film there are a lot of close up shots to portray the motion of the protagonists as they react from a noise of a movement in the picture, there are also high angle shots, a certain point is in the opening scene in the film where the boy is looking up in a P.O.V, high angle shot at a wall, suddenly there is an image of the woman protagonist being thrown against the wall with the distinct markings of blood left on the wall. The start of the film also portrays a classic black and white effect, something which can be used in our filming to portray different modern effects in our filming. We are also looking to find dark locations to portray a horror genre in our filming.
