Vardan and Sejal, have finished uploading all tapes which now means we can start editing from Monday onwards....
We have to take time out to work on it now, theres not long to go...
you need to get permission from study clubs, so you don't get into trouble, like Vardan did today, and was allowed get out of study club to work on media ... so that means no excuses...
from now onwards, if your not there when others are doing media work... then you won't be credited and it will be your loss, cause we can't keep rescheduling so that we all can do it together, we are wasting waaaaay to much time like that, and are going to end up falling behind... sooo get it sorted!!! ....
that applies to everyone!!!
apart from that... Monday afterschool --> start editing ...

Primetime production logo...
Here's something i did a while back, its nothing exiting, just something i randomly came up with...
Things to do! ... MISSING STORYBOARD!!!
Guys, I've tipped out my whole house and I'm 19074983540 % sure i have NOT taken the storyboards! ... we showed Miss.Holliday on Thursday, Vardan took the script and i had placed the storyboards right under the script. Vardan said he put the storyboard on my table, but i know i didn't take it, because i didn't even notice it.... Maybe someones just slipped it somewhere and forgotten sooo...
We need to find out where the hell it is! .. It took ages to do and im hating the fact no one is owning up to it! ... CHECK YOUR HOUSE, BAGS, TOILETS, BINS.. whatever it takes, please just look for it, cause im not gonna end up making another one! ... ive got way to much things i need to be catching up on, and this storyboard only adds to it...
FIND THE DAMN THING!!!!!!! look around, its not that hard! ... Pleeease! :)
Secondly, i will bring the tripod and camera into school tomorrow, so can we start uploading after school? ... i think the earlier we get it done, the more we can focus on our other work i.e magazine and evaluation etc... we need to re-do the last bit of the report scene, let me know when you lot are free, soo i can let everyone at home know.
Vardan pointed out the "Honey I'm home" scene today, and we will look into that when we upload the footage!

Recap
I think everything went quite well and we got many many different angles for each scene.
There are only a couple of things I am worried about in terms of angles. The criminal record scene - where Jane sees the sheet, Philippa is asking whether we should shoot a scene of her just holding it, so an over-the-shoulder view. Also, in the first shot of the proposal I remembered I did not put the ring on her finger before standing up, but I did for the following couple of shots - We need to make sure we edit that well. Oh, and the scene where we wanted Richard to shut the door and shout "Honey, I'm home!"...we did not film that - but I'm thinking we could end the trailer with the door shutting, and the screen going black.. and a voice-over of Richard "Honey, I'm home!"...end.
Tell me if there are other things that we need to think about.
A big thank you to Philippa Clarke, who was able to take time out of her half-term break to help us by playing Jane. Also, a thank you to the managers of Greenford Library, Super Chef and Punjabi Kitchen for letting us film as well as Sejal's family and Ba, who had to put up with our constant arguing.

Today we faced a crisis, as the restaurant we had planned to shoot at.. turned us down last minute when Vardan rang to confirm our shoot and table. It turned out we spoke to "Albert" who has no authority and is only a silly waiter! so the manager just said it's not convenient for her, ... sooo as fall back we now will be shooting in Punjabi Kitchen *greenford* at 9.00pm ...
We also plan to finish off all house scenes today.. which will then leave us with Wembley (proposal) and thats the endd!!!
We also, scratched out the park plan.

Today Vardan, Philippa and Sejal started to film the library and house scenes. We got most of it done, however failed to complete things due to certain distractions...
At the end of it, we wasted time and didn't get much done, therefore have rescheduled for Tuesday, to finish off what we left off.
Overall, it was a very fun day! .. and for next time, we shall avoid any distractions!!!

Actor gone!
It seems we have another problem. One of our actors, Lawson, has backed out due to the timing and his "lack of acting ability". Which means we will have to find another white male actor to play Richard, who also agrees to do some kissing scenes with Philippa. If you lot have anything in mind, let me know.

Richard's Character Profile
Richard is very sly and cunning. He is portrayed in our trailer as being a psychopath, almost with a split personality and is very good at lying at it has been his profession for his entire life; Lawyer.
Richard was born on 19th March 1982. His childhood was traumatic and he was frequently beaten by his mother as a result of her alcohol dependency. This left him emotionally scarred as he grew into a violent teenager and began fighting back.
His tragic youth led him into a life of crime and soon he became Criminal Lawyer at the age of 23. He often spent his days defending criminals who had been convicted for awful and disgusting crimes, and soon he began accepting the mindset that he finds "right". Very early in his life he became involved in various crimes and drug-taking, which forced him to obtain a more aggressive mentality.
By the age of 25, he was obsessed with sadism and inflicting pain on those he loved. His pleasure was to brainwash women to fall in love with him and torture them through months of pain. He spent his 5 month wedding anniversary chopping off his wife’s fingers and force feeding them to her.
A year went by and Richard grew more and more sadistic and after his second marriage, his new wife discovered blood stains in his brand new car and threatened to call the police. Soon after, she mysteriously disappeared and was never found.
His third marriage was even more brutal. For 10 months, Richard found pleasure by peeling off his new wife’s skin and dousing petrol in her wounds. Often he tied his wife underneath his car and drove around town with her hands and knees dragging on the floor. The only thing found of his third wife was her liver, chopped up into pieces and thrown into the local lake.
Shortly after his 27th birthday, Richard was arrested after an officer looked into his case and found it highly suspicious. He spent 2 days in the county bail custody and was soon released on bail due to lack of evidence, but was warned not to leave the area. Richard, having been a Criminal Lawyer, was very aware of his rights and decided to go to an unpredictable area where he would be able to legally marry the “woman of his sadistic dreams” and not be forced to go back to prison.

British Low Budget Films
The United Kingdom has had a large impact on modern cinema and has one the most respected film industries in the world. Despite a history of successful productions, the industry is characterised by an ongoing debate about its identity (including economic and cultural issues) and the influences of American and European cinema, although it is fair to say a brief 'golden age' was enjoyed in the 1940s from the studios of J. Arthur Rank and Alexander Korda. The British film industry has produced some of the greatest actors, directors and motion pictures of all time including Sir Alfred Hitchcock, Powell and Pressburger, David Lean, Laurence Olivier, David Niven, Michael Caine and Anthony Hopkins. Many British film-makers learnt their craft making these films, including Michael Powell and Alfred Hitchcock.
The new century has so far been a relatively successful one for the British film industry. Many British films have found a wide international audience, and some of the independent production companies, such as Working Title, have secured financing and distribution deals with major American studios. Working Title scored three major international successes, all starring Hugh Grant, with the romantic comedies Bridget Jones's Diary (2001), which grossed $254 million worldwide; the sequel Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason, which earned $228 million; and Richard Curtis's directorial debut Love Actually (2003), which grossed $239 million. At the same time, critically-acclaimed films such as Gosford Park (2001), Pride and Prejudice (2005), The Constant Gardener (2005), The Queen (2006) and The Last King of Scotland (2006) also brought prestige to the British film industry. The turn of the new century saw a revival of the British horror film. Lead by Danny Boyle's acclaimed hit 28 Days Later (2002), other examples included Dog Soldiers, The Descent and the comedy Shaun of the Dead.
BAFTA Award for Best British Film
Ay the 1993 British Academy Awards ( BAFTA) the Alexander Korda Award for the best British film was introduced. Although the idea was dropped in the 1960sm, the BAFTA’s had included the best British film category. However since 1993 the winners have been:
1993 The Crying Game, 1994 Shadowlands, 1995 Shallow Grave, 1996 The Madness of King George, 1997 Secret and lies, 1998 Nil by Mouth, 1999 Elizabeth, 2000 East is East, 2001 Billy Elliot, 2002 Gossford Park, 2003 The Warrior, 2004 Touching the Void, 2005 My Summer of Love, 2005 Wollace and Grommit of the were-rabbit, 2007 The Last King of Scotland, 2008 This is England and 2009 Man On Wire.

Unconfirmed Actors
I have spoken to two of my friends from Cardinal Wiseman, and they agreed to do the acting for our film trailer. It is yet an unconfirmed decision and they are still waiting for the script before they confirm, which I promised to give them some time this week. This means we will have to rush with our timing.
A big thank you to Erika Scarth and Edward Phillips!

Wembley Arena
We have decided to change the location for Jane and Richard's proposal from Waterloo Bridge to Wembley Arena. Today, Sejal and Vardan went to Wembley Arena and made some photographs of the setting we would like to use for the proposal. They will be proposing on the big white stairs just opposite the Wembley Arena entrance, at 10pm at night beside the brightly lit lights and wonderful fountains - a great location for a proposal. Although the area was slightly tedious when we arrived, due to the timing, the journey was quite fun lol. We hope the actors will agree to travel with us for the filming.

Lesson 21/01/10
Yesterday, we had an experimental lesson, where we were able to familiarise ourselves with media props such as a camera and tripod, focusing on how they function and when and where they should be used. This was very helpful as we were able to get a rough idea of what we should be looking to do in our own production. Our task was to produce a sample of a narrative given by our teacher, which was to show someone walking into a classroom.
Initially, we had planned a storyboard beforehand as we were told do, however, as we carried out our experimental use of props, shots that had been written down and produced as a storyboard, had changed drastically. This taught us a major lesson where we realised, in order to have a successful production we need to focus on our storyboards in great depth, as changes are bound to happen, therefore we should be ready and able to cope with situations where things are being changed last minute.
Whilst working on this, we learnt how to edit using a specific editing software. This was very helpful as we will now be able to edit our productions confidently. We also learnt how we can follow a sequence of a narrative with different shots, angles and locations.
Overall, this lesson was very helpful as we now feel more confident about going out and about to shoot and edit for our production.

Angela Character Profile
As Jane is suspicious on Richard’s sudden change of behaviour, she turns to her best friend (Angela) for help. This demonstrates that Angela is kind hearted and plays a very strong hearted character within the film. She helps Jane when it’s needed, reflecting on how close the two friends are. Angela will not be seen in the trailer as she only speaks to Jane over the phone. This means that we do not have to worry on Angela’s appearance, and the way in which she is portrayed. However we will need to pay specific attention through her dialogue.
