My Filming Experience



For me my filming experience was mainly behind the camera, as a result of breaking my arm just a week or so before filming. All my group were incredibly helpful and understanding about what I could and couldn't do. So for the times when I was able to come, they allowed me to film some of the scenes as it was one of the only things I could do. By the time it came to editing we had created our rough cut draft but then after hearing certain aspects of the feed back, realised that we had to go back to Rusne's house to re-film a few scenes, to make it more clear to the audience. Overall, I believe that our group was very organised from the start and although there was a major disruption to the filming and planning because I was in and out of hospital, even when I had my operation my group made sure to text message me to let me stay up to date with all the changes that had been made since I was away. At the very beginning of filming and drafting up film ideas everyone had their own idea to how the film would have turned out, I know we are all happy with our final outcome.

Music we will be using

We have found the music that we want to use and the creator of the song has replied to us and told us that we are able to use his songs. For our film we want to use four different types of songs for the four different characters.Below I have included a screenshot of Thesecession's comment allowing us to use their songs.

Here is a link to Thesecession's offical YouTube page: http://www.youtube.com/user/thesecession


Music we want to use

Today we started searching for the music we want to use in our own film. What we first decided to do was search on Creative Commons theough Soundcloud but we did not find the type of music that we wanted. But we did find one song but there was no download button which means that we are not able to use it. But then we read the description where the person has said that he does not own rights to the song an he has downloaded the song from TheSeccision's offical YouTube. What we then decided was to ask the creator of the song whether we would be able to use it for our own film. We are now waiting for a reply. 



Character profile: Aaron

Aaron is played by Shahed. Aaron is the guy in school who's known for his sports. He's the leader of his football team and during his weekends he plays baseball with friends. He's the top of his class for sports but I can't say the same thing for all other subjects. He's been so focused on getting a sochloship at Loughborough University that he hasen't had time to study for other subjects. In year 8 Aaron and Katie were in the same class for science and that's how they became so close and through Katie he met Chloe. Aaron started to drift apart from Jack and Katie and become closer with Chloe. Then in year 11 they became very close again and they all ended up going to the same college. Aaron is excited for the camping trip because he's had a crush on Chloe for years and now he'll finally be able to spend time with her. When he finds out that Jack is coming he won't be too happy.


Character profile: Chloe

Chloe is played by Safia. Chloe is the girl in school that everyone likes. The girls want to be her and the boys want to be with her. But what she lacks is brains. She's so focused on being popular that she has no time to revise or even try at school. In year 7 that's when her popularity began when everyone in the school knew who Chloe was. Even though she's popular she's only close to a few people. Her bestfriend is Katie. They've known eachother since they were little kids and their friendship has grown and grown through the years. Ever since year 9 she's always had conflicts with Jack because she always felt like there was something odd about him. What Katie does not know is that Chloe has had a massive crush on Aaron for years now. That's why she's so excited to be going on a camping trip with her crush.


Character profile: Jack

Jack is played by Tho who is one of our friends who we asked to help us with filming our film. Jack is the boy in school who only has a few friends. He's the boy that everyone else thinks is weird or creepy. Except for Katie who's always been his friend. Ever since year 7 they've been friends and Katie has stayed friends with him even through all the conflicts he had with Chloe and Aaron. Jack dosen't do that well in school,low grades and bad behaviour is what causes him to be in the lowest sets for all of his subjects. He's been bullied a few times by his classmates calling him names beause they find him creepy. His home life has been hard,his parents went through a divorce when he was young and that is the reason for his bad behaviour now. He's always blamed his parents for everything bad that has happened in his life. He spends a lot of time in his room by himself,which might be the reason why he becomes the way that he is now and the reason why he murders his friends on the camping. Even the one friend who's stuck by him.

Character profile: Katie

Katie who is played by Rusne is a girl who's outgoing,adventrious and ambitious. She's what you would call a "nerd". She's always been a perfect student in school. In school she always contributes to group discussions but work better indepdently. This is because she knows where she wants to get in life and what she needs to do to achieve it. Her ambition is to become a doctor and that is why she spends so much of her free time studying. She has a big group of friends but her bestfriends are Jack,Chloe and Aaron. She's always been close to Jack even when he was involved with conflicts with Chloe and Aaron. In school there used to be a lot of conlicts between the three of them and Katie always used to be in the middle of them. Because of this she does not tell Chloe and Aaron that she invited Jack on their camping trip. When they find out Katie invited Jack i'm sure they'll be angry but it'll be worth it because all of her bestfriends will be in one place.
