Newspaper article

We decided to make a dummy newspaper article for our blog. We wanted to get across that this had happened before so we used the title "another girl missing from hospital".
We also thought a picture of the victim was appropriate so we added one we had saved.


Samirs second attempt at the soundtrack.


Even though I had nothing to work with (the picture was still being worked on) I attempted a soundtrack with hopefully suitable sounds. It is not the finished piece- a second draft if you will.

Target Audience

Our target audience is aimed at 12+ as it doesn't contain any violence or severe horror. It is suitable for persons 12 and over because it could possibly disturb younger children as it is quite spooky and mind playing. We chose it to be suitable for 12+ because this age group are very interested in thrillers as there are many different types of thrillers around now-a-days, for example: Crime (Heat, Inside Man) , Psychological (Edge Of Darkness, Psycho) and Action (Die Hard, Transporter)



Rough Cut Deadline

Tomorrow is the rough cut deadline so we have to get as much finished as we can ready for tomorrows lesson. What we still need to do is the editing, soundtrack and credits.
We hope to get all of this done in today's lesson and tomorrows lesson. The main thing I would say we need to concentrate on is the editing as the footage we shot last lesson is all mixed up etc.
Once we get that done we will concentrate on the soundtrack as this has a big effect on what the opening is like. The credits are at the bottom of our priority list at the moment as the opening will still work without them, however we are going to try and get it all done by tomorrows lesson which I think we will be able to do without fail.

Filming in the medical room

Today we were able to film the rest of our opening in the medical room. We previously wanted to film 2 weeks ago but we were unable to due to availability. We were also able to use the wheel chair from the Health and Social Care department which was really helpful.
When also borrowed a lab coat from the biology department which Samir wore as he was the so called "doctor".
We managed to get everything filmed by half way through the lesson so we have uploaded and began to edit what we have so far.

My sample music



As I have been put in charge of producing sound for our thriller I decided to make a selection of sounds that i thought would be good to have as sample sounds. It is by no means the finished product and most of these sounds will not be used. It was a useful excercise nonetheless.
