Feedback on first shoot

Overall, the first shoot for our opening sequence went rather well. The make-up on Shaunagh was very good but we were unable to see it due to the lighting which made the entire scene darker, and it also needed to be toned down. The memorial scene was fine but was hampered by the lighting, in fact lighting overall was the main issue we had. We need to use low-key or chiaroscuro lighting for our next shoot, this should hopefully make it far easier to see what is going on. We also need to manage our time scheduling for what happens during the day, we spent more time doing make-up or hardly anything than we did filming!

The developing of Honey Bear

I missed out on fridays lesson due to being on a Geography trip, regardless I have managed to find out what had gone on in the lesson I missed.

I am acting in the film, I am unsure exactly which character I'm playing but I imagine it will be the client who kills the main character. I also found that there had been some spidergrams which are being used to decide what exactly happens.

Honey Bear

In lesson we chose on one film treatment from a selection, and the one we went ahead with was Shaunaghs idea which was for a film called Honey Bear. It tells the story of a 17 year old girl who meets a gangster boy who pulls the girl into a world of drugs and prostitution, ultimately she is killed by a client and the entire story is told in flashbacks. This film draws inspiration from British Dramas such as 'This is England' and 'Kidulthood' which have similar stories involving youth issues. The filming locations would need to be a run-down area of a town and also a darker area such as the one at Poles Lane, but also a cemetery would be needed as that is part of the opening sequence. In terms of soundtrack, music that appeals to a young teenage audience would be necessary.
