Filming Day 1

Our first day of filming was during our media lessons, our actors were in lesson so we decided to film a scene in which non of the actors were required. The first shoot we filmed was of me playing on the piano, involving me playing moonlight sonata, the music is very dark and evil which fits into our title sequence, after playing the piano Prada immediately closes the curtains, the closing curtains indicate an interval at which point the storyline became twisted. After putting this on and editing it, we decided to re-shoot it again but extend throughout some of our film adding to the intensity of the murder.

Re-Shooting

There were a numerous of times when we had to re-shoot the scenes over again. We had to re-shoot many of Jack and Simran's scene when they are in the car, this is because we couldn't figure out what shots would look best. However after a numerous attempts the shoots went better as we now knew what shots to do and we have a wide range to choose from, eliminating the chances of having to re-shoot it.

Detailed StoryBoard

Jade has redone our storyboard in more detail as we thought our first storyboard was lacking detail so we re did another one and improved it. our new storyboard shows the shots in more detail and how we are going to film it with the camera angles.

This is each step of the storyboard explained:

-Introduction- the logo of our production company (Hoyile Production)

- showing the audiences feet walking into the theatre

- Long shot of theatre with people scattered around

- Connie and Roy sitting next to each other in the theatre

- Curtains close for the intervals of the play.

- Roy glances down at this watch

- he assures connie that he will back and leaves the theatre.

- Women dressed in red (Rose) waiting in the lobby

- They walk closely together silently, and exchange money

- Roy departs her, walking towards the electricity supply

- The theatre is pitch black and we hear Connie screaming

- Connie is dead, with banknotes scattered around of with blood

- Roy exits the theatre, whilst wiping blood of the knife

- He gets in his car and drives away into a distance

Titles

This is the logo Jade created for our production company for 'Forever'. Prada came up with the idea that we should use 'Hoyile' as our production name. Hoyile is my name in Chinese, the whole group really like this name as it is unique and nobody else has this name

This is the logo Jade created for the studio that distributes 'Forever'. P.E.J stands for Prada, Emily and Jade. All the names are included in it except mine this is because we used my Chinese name for the production company.

Sound

At the start we had planned that I would be playing on the piano for 2 minutes long. It is non copyright as we recorded it ourselves, we decided this as a group and we all agreed, it is non copyright, we did not get any of the audio online, this includes the scream Jade did.

Improving Camera Shots

In our title sequence there were a few shots we didn't put in, one of them was the establishing shot. However we had difficulties with this as we left it till last minute and we only had the chance to film it once, the shot was not of good quality, therefore we did not use this shot, however we have included several different shots.
