Sound Practical

This is a sound effect that I am going to use when the girl is on the floor knocked out from the drugs to simulate a dead heart beat or the fact she cannot hear anything apart from a piercing sound. I would not fade it in as it would start when she fell on the floor and the camera follows. I would increase the sound the most when her eyes are dilating as it would effect the audience the most.

The song I want needs to fill all these categories:

• Needs to be slightly depressing so that it is in context with what she is doing.
• Needs to be non copyright if it is we need to have permission by artist (which is not going to happen as we would need to know the artist directly).
• Needs to have the ability to be lowered by final cut so the sound can be used in different situations.

Where would I find such a song?
On YouTube there is a channel which has non copyright music which you can use directly by the link asking viewers to by the song for free. Looking at them on my computer some of them have the potential to be used within our media piece.

Also on websites there are a few songs in which are free to download and use non copyright. I know this as my key words I used in the Google search engine were non-copyright songs. And then looking I made sure it was one of the top searches which prove to be the most reliable and useful.

Filming Evaluation

Filming Practical

Our filming day started off at 11 o'clock in the morning most of us got there early or on time however the person who had the props turned up late which put our filming back about 30 minuets. Despite this set back we could really film much any way as our location had a lot of kids playing around in it which would not fit the genre of drugs or crime.

When he finally arrived we got filming underway immediately and started setting out our piece of her walking to the different locations. This included sitting on a park bench to walking towards the drug location. Sadly looking back at some of the footage (at school) we got things in the way of the shot for example the pagoda had our bags behind that were blatantly visible this we need to correct. However we did do some good high angle shooting displaying the vulnerable nature as it people are looking at her.

We also wanted some talking which the camera may not of picked up however if not then it doesn't matter and we can cut the sound out. I think what we should of done is do a high angle showing her walking to and from for the rewind meaning it would make it less complex as well as not trying to string old footage and recycle it which would make the film look tacky. this would add a certain layer of difficulty as it means the actor would have to recreate her movements all over again which could display some continuity errors.












After filming all the different shots outside we decided to go into the toilets to film the drug scene.This is were our filming went down hill. We for some reason went into the females to film which was a mistake as there was three boys and one girl acting. After getting about half way through the filming someone walked in mid way through and made the situation very awkward. She left and we got kicked out of the ladies toilets after explaining what we were doing many times.

Then we waited around a long time and moved into the males and to keep continuity we moved across toilet roll and things to keep them both the same. Again cause we were quite rushed we decided not to set up the tripod which was a stupid mistake and made all the footage shaky which obviously is not the best scenario. What we did well was cut down on the amount of people in the toilet and the two of us hung around outside so if someone wanted to come in we could warn them.
