Today we started to edit our final work. This wasn't as easy as we thought it would be. We came across many hurdles along the way however we stuck together and over come them. We successfully managed to capture all of our needed clips. This has reassured us that working in a team is the best way to complete work.

All of the needed clips look successful, and we have captured each clip with enough time before and after the clips for the final editing. We was slightly worried the time of our overall sequence, as when planning we thought it may end up too short, however, now we think we may have too much footage - but this can easily be fixed when editing.

We continued filming, and shot the final scenes which were outside. the problems that occurred when filming outside were that a lot of cars came down the road which not only meant we had to avoid filming them, but it also made the shot more noisy, as you could hear them in the background. It was also dangerous to film when there were cars around as part of our film involves an emergency stop, so for this we had to make sure no other cars were driving down the road. We shot different angles of the car so we have more choice when we come to editing the piece, as we can see which angle works best. We managed to complete all our filming today.

Today we started filming our opening sequence. We managed to film most of our inside shots which will give us more time to film our outside shots in tomorrows lesson, which is more complicated as it will be on a busy road. the things we had to consider was continuity, we had to make sure that if we had shut a door in a previous shot, it was shut in the next shot. we also had to consider the lighting, making sure you could clearly see everything in the shot. We found that with the curtains closed it was too dark to film most shots, so we decided to include kayleigh's mum walking into her room and opening the curtains, which brought more light into the shot.

due to weather conditions we were unable to begin our filming on monday and tuesday, so we have decided to film next tuesday instead as we have a long period of time in which to do this. In todays lesson we were given a set of photos from films and magazines that are relevant to the genre of our film. We had to re-create these images to help give us an idea of the way in which to shoot certain scenes.

Today we planned what props and costumes we are going to use when filming. We have decided that our main character Kayleigh should wear a bright pink top and a skirt to reflect her girly and loud personality. We also want Kimberley to wear a skirt to so that it reflects that the girls are very close and very similar in personalitys. It also creats the impression that the girl are part of a popular "click" at college.

We will be needing a car as our main prop as we are basing our film on a car crash. The actress who is playing Kimberly has a car that is lilac and is perfect for our movie as it is a very girly car. The other props we are using are things that are already at our location. For example straighteners, make-up and products.

We have decided to film at Emily (the producers) house in reigate as it is situated in a quiet and wealthy neighbourhood. This is ideal as we are filming a car crash scene and do not want to cause any real accidents and will also not really get inturupted by many members of the public.
