Week 1
First week of filming! First of all we planned when we all had time to go out and start filming our film, we decided to begin during the first week. At this point we weren't determined on how the opening sequence was going to go, so we stuck to our instincts and started filming in the corridors in college two days later. We did trials in different dark corridors of the spy/murderer sneaking up waiting for the husband to leave the office. Once the day of filming was over, we headed up to the editing suite where we had to plug our tape into the computer and wait for it to record and sync on to the computer. We saved our clips in a file until it was time to next film.

Week 2
During the second week we went to the studio to film Jae in the bed playing the spy, we did three different shots of the whole of his part; tossing and turning, at different angles and then got him to read out his script down the phone. Jae's part of the film was successfully done in one day and we were able to proceed with everything else.

Week 3
The third week already! we changed our minds by now and decided to film the murdering part of the husband from a real office to make it more realistic! we got together Daniel fisher and Sarah Higginbottom to play the spy/murder and set up ready to film. We filmed Sarah dressed as the murderer at different angles creeping up to the office. We also shot different angles of Daniel in the office from inside and outside so we had lots of clips to choose from. Just as well, we completed all the filming for this section within one day!

During the same week we went around to Sarahs house to film my part, i played the wife on the phone to the spy and pacing up and down the room. We did three shots of this and then packed up to head back to college.

Week 4 

This week we focused on editing our opening sequence. We uploaded all of the footage to the computers in the editing suite and dragged all of our clips into the Adobe Premier Pro editing software. It was this week that our film began to come together. We cut clips, chose different angles, changed the colours of the shots, added text and even added music and sound effects. We had a few problems where the shots were too wide and it didnt have the same effect, also we did have some camera shake. However, we were lucky enough to have a few more shots to resolve this! Our film came together and for the next couple of days we just went over out film and touched it up if we felt the need to.
