Institutional research

Independent film maker - Julie Angel, as she specialises in documentaries, action movies and art films. If the film was fully developed we would choose Julie as she has 7 years of experience where she has created a wide range of different films. This would be useful when fully producing the film to make it more professional and modern as Julie specialises in the creation of modern films. Julie has also worked on national and internantional commercial advertisements for well known brands such as 'Nokia' and 'Canon'

Shooting Schedule

Monday 1st March 2010 - Rachel walking through burn valley and towards college (office building in film)

Wednesday 3rd March 2010 - Amy walking down corridor and into room

Thursday 4th March 2010 -Scene with Amy and dead body in room, then rachel and amy dragging body out of the room.

When shooting the film noir I the room changed that we shot the office in from a large room into a small music studio room within the college, I changed these because the smaller room seemed to be a better office room and it fit in better with the whole mise-en-scene which is one of the aspects I controlled during the creation of this film noir opening sequence.

Prelimenary task

Before we began creating the film noir opening sequence we created a prelimenary task, in order to experiment with all elements of making a film including; camera, editing, sound, mise-en-scene and the story line.
