Uploading and Editing
As we'd finished all of our filming, we decided to upload our filming straight away and edit it. Uploading only took about 20 minutes, and so we could look at what we had filmed and select the appropriate ones needed for the film. We tried to pick clips that would best fit the genre conventions of a horror movie.

Filming Process
Today we all met up at our location which we were going to film on, and re-filmed our whole project as the last one wasn't as good and it didn't look beliveable. Also, the mise-en-scene wasn't good because we couldn't get the camera angles right.
Today we learnt alot of things such as: which light effects would set our mise-en-scene and look effective for our opening sequence.
It took us about 2-3 hours today to finish our filming.
Me (Gurleen) and Alia were mainly using the camera and Zaynah and Gemma assisted us in direction and helped us on how to do it better and gave us ideas on how we can film it.

Filming Process
Today, we all met at Gemma's house to film our film. We met at 12.00pm and practiced camera skills aswell as how to stay steady, as our story line contains going up the stairs and moving around the house. Me (Gurleen), Zaynah and Alia filmed, and used the camera, where as Gemma helped us assist on direction and set the Mise-en-scene.

Preliminary Task
on friday the 5th of February, we uploaded our storyboard. we took shots from our real video clip to produce our storyboard. to create our storyboard and get the shots, we used the iMovie and use the Grab tool to select the stills/shots that we wanted for our storyboard.
To upload our storyboard on our blog, we had to download it first on the issu website to get the embedded code. after we got the embedded code, we pasted it to the blog.
Prelimanary Task- Editing
On Wednesday 3rd Feb we spent our whole lesson editing and at the same time learning new skills for editing in iMovies.
We learnt how to upload our filming from the camera, how to do simple cuts and how to use the transitions to go from one shot to another and use the 'Fade' effect to fasten the pace of the footage. we also, learnt to 'split at playhead' which was an a quick and easier alternative for cutting our clips down.
moreover, we learnt how to remove the sound off a specific clip and move it to another or remove it completely.

Preliminary Task
On Wednesday the 27th, we filmed our first shots for the preliminary task.
We began by casting our friends in the production, and started filming.
We started with the establishing shot, and during the hour we managed to get the first 4 scenes done. As we didn't manage to film the shots with the characters and dialogue in, it wasn't possible to use the same people that we had cast as they weren't free when we had to film.
We carried on filming on Friday 29th, and had casted other people to finish off the task.
our group didn't finish filming in this time and we had to continue the production on Monday 1st Feb to get the filming finished. However, this caused a few issues as our cast had to wear the same clothing on the Monday so that we could finish. Additionally, when we got to the location to film, the room we had been using was taken and therefore we re-filmed most of the shots in a different room so we could complete the project.
On Tuesday 2nd Feb we started to edit our shots together in the double lesson we had. This was a difficult task as most of us didn't remember how to edit, but we quickly overcome this, and when we got going it became easier.
