PRODUCTION LOGBy George Gibbard

Research/BrainstormingWe came up with a idea of a genre that we though that we would use. We started off by looking at things such as the mask and chucky as we had the idea of a movie that was a horror genre and by watching this movie we took notes of what they all had in common. After seeing what the all had in common with each other we decided on two ideas for a movie and how they blended in with school setting. The first idea was a monkey that was a cop and that he would find the criminals in the school and arrest them. The other idea that we had was that a child was bullied and got revenge on the people that bullied him by putting on a mask which changed the way that he behaved. We discussed the options between the movies and how they could be made in this school. We figured out that the movie with the monkey cop would be hard to film in a school environment but could be used as a way of starting using the cameras and iMovie.

Skills Development PracticeWe then started to film the idea that we wasn’t going to use as a way of practicing with the software and cameras that we was going to use. This helped us with our project as it meant that we was all able to get used to the camera and by doing this it meant that our actual project was able to get on with our project quickly and easily. Also by doing this we was able to edit our work quickly and easily because we had been practicing with iMovie and by practicing we was able to add effects to the movie.

PlanningAfter deciding on what movie we was going to use and practicing with iMovie we then made our story board and planned the way that we was going to make our movie. By making our storyboard we was able to plan everyday of filming so there was no time wasted. The storyboard meant that we was able to easily and quickly get on with our work . We then decided on what script we was going to make but then we decided on our movie having no dialogue in it and by not having any dialogue in the movie it meant that we didn’t have to make a script instead we made a profile of what we was going to do and at what times so we can find out if we was behind our schedule. Finally we took pictures of where the shots would be taken and put the next to the script so we knew where to go and when to go there

Actual filming We started to film our movie after making our script and our brainstorming. Then we started filming because at the start it was only me Lewis and Charlie in the movie and this meant that we all had to do filming and editing together. Firstly it was me and Lewis filming Charlie (monster) this meant that we split up the filming between each other. Then when it was Charlie filming me and Lewis this meant that we was able to show us getting filmed by him. Then once we had finished filming the certain parts of the movie Lewis and I started to edit them we had to crop them which is what I had done. Then Lewis had
