On Filming;
The Filming of our main thriller task is going well; we used a tripod to ensure still, smooth shots, and have filmed most of our thriller. All we need to film now is the flashback scenes with the kidnapper and the child. I'm finding the cameras easy to work with and we're looking forward to editing so we can put in some special effects!


Planning Process;
We spent a long time planning and storyboarding our thriller so we knew exactly what we were doing. We planned various beginnings to the thriller so we could decide which was best, and now we've finally decided. A few ideas in the pipeline were that it could be called 'Number Game' and the introduction would be 10 boys faces with a child counting to ten and then a knife stabbing the last picture, but we felt this was more in the thriller genre and decided against it, although we filmed it just in case.


How It Went;
Our task went moderately well. A few problems include trying to get all the actors on the same day, and finding the right weather suitable for each scene. I think we could have benefitted from having more time for both the blog and the editing as most people needed to use the editing suite at the same time and there were only 4 computers, but we came up a few lunchtimes to get this sorted.
