Planning:
When planning the idea, we weren't given much time to think about it and it was really confusing about what we had to do and when the deadline for it was, because both Blue and Chris were giving us different information about what a certain thing and when the deadline for that certain was, me along with a lot of people were very confused and sort of halted the planning prosses into making us do pre-pro really quickly. By doing that filming was stretched out for a few weeks, giving us plenty of time to film, but no time to plan and do pre-pro, when we really needed more time to plan and do pre-pro for it and therefore making the title sequence and scene better when it came to filming and editing.

Filming:
Filming the idea, was spread over a few days, the main reason for this was because of the feasibility of people and props. The first day I needed Ellie so I could take a picture of her in makeup and in a 20s costume, down at the train station. I used Courtney's special effects makeup to make Ellie look as if she had been beaten up by a train, which took me about 2 hours to put on Ellie. My dad drove both of us down to the train station in Bodmin. I only needed a picture of her in the makeup and the 20s costume, which only took about 10 minuets. Chris did point out that it was a lot of work just for a few pictures, which I was very aware of. The picture will be used for when I film the medical books, later on in this week.

The next day, me and Emily both needed to film with Lauren, so we took it in terns. I got dropped off by my dad at 11:390, thinking that Lauren would get there for 11:00, but because the busses were running late, she got to Emily's at 12:00. Anyway, first at 12:00, me, Emily and Lauren went to a photographer's house that Emily knows, to shoot in his studio. This was for Emily's shoot, Lauren dressed in fashionable cloths and posed in front of a black backdrop for Emily's title sequence. After filming that, we all walked back to Emily's house and I changed into the army uniform, and Lauren changed into the smart cloths that she brought with her. Then we walked up to the benches and filmed in that location for my small scene. Because I was an actor, Emily had to film and because I forgot to bring my tripod and Emily's tripod wasn't working, we had to use the gimble. We also forgot a mic, so I am just going to use the camera audio in editing. In that shoot, Emily filmed our little scene, with a few different angles. Then we did a small take for my title sequence, where Lauren was on a cliff, and she looked to her left and I would appear. We had to do the take twice because the first time Emily didn't take the shot still and it would be difficult to edit if the shot wasn't still. Then Emily took a picture of me in the uniform, by the benches for the medical books that I shot earlier on this week. Then we walked back to Emily's house, me and Lauren changed again into cloths for Emily's scene, and we did a small shoot in a bus stop, where I forgot all my lines, then we went to the graphite tunnel and filmed Lauren running from the camera in there, then we went to a telephone box and filmed Lauren in there. Then we went back to Emily's house and Lauren changed for the final time into smart cloths. Then Emily's mum drove us both to the college, so I could film Lauren walking past Emily as the really bored ghost on the wall who disappeared after Lauren walked past her. I was going to use the tripod, but I ended up using the gimble to keep the shot still when Emily had to get out of the shot, the second time that Lauren had to walk past Emily. Then Emily's mum drove me home, then drove Lauren home, then went home and I have now finally finished my scene. All there is now left to do, is the shot with the books in the studio, the shots in the library with Emily acting as Lauren and the shot of the medical books which can be shot in the studio but can really be shot anywhere.

The day after that I did the shoot in the shoot in the studio, the one where I zoom out to revile Lauren reading lots of old books. Because I didn't have Lauren, I was going to use Blue and have her reading the ghost book that I printed off and sellotape onto the book that we used in FMP. Then Blue said to show her a picture of Lauren and she said that she had a 1st year with the exact same hair style, so I ended up using her, but I used Blue to make sure the lighting was good, and all the books were positioned in the correct place. I took two takes of the 1st year holding the book up to her face with the gimble by zooming out of her using the gimble, then I let her go back to her lesson as Blue instructed. After she left, I did a few takes of the books on the table, using the camera on free hand, these shots where not necessary, but I thought I may as well get them just in case. Then I asked Blue to help me take back the books as there where a lot of them. The books I used, was a few of Blue's mum brought in, a few of my Chronical of Narnia books and some books from the staff room to make the take look like she is reading a lot of books.

The day after that, in the first brake, I was able to get Blue to help me be the hands in the shot, like putting the folders down and drawing on the papers. To get lots of paperwork, both me and blue printed things off to put then in the folders and make the table really messy, like this is Lauren's research of the ghosts. I also wrote little notes that I want the audience to think that Lauren wrote it as part of her notes into helping the ghosts to move on. I used those notes to have in the folders and clipped to the pictures. I wrote them to make them seem funny to the audience, to show them it's a comedy, but if they were only glimpsing at the shot, they would just assume its research. I now need to film in the bodmin Library and film two other folders with pictures in them, one of the pictures will be another screen shot from ghosts Instagram and the other would be of Emily and her dad down at the pier, with her dad disappearing in the second picture. I was going to do all the pictures myself with makeup and costume, but I didn't have enough costumes and the Emily couldn't find the 50s dress.

On Sunday, I did a driving lesson with dad, and I drove to Padstow. Considering I hadn’t driven in 2 weeks, I thought I did a very good job, I think this may have been my best ever driving lesson so far. The reason why we were going to Padstow, was because I needed to film a take on the benches because I got it wrong when I filmed with Lauren last week. Anyway, I brought my costume and kit with me, the only thing was when we got to Padstow, I forgot a hair tie and the hat that goes with the costume, so we went back to Bodmin and picked that up, then we drove back to Padstow and filmed the take. I did the take as if the camera was taking it from Lauren’s perspective, which looked consideringly good. I didn’t want to fully dress up as I knew the camera would only see me from the top half, so if you look at the pictures and wonder why I look half like I’m from the war, you now know why. When I finished filming and had gotten back to the car, I saw Emily coming back from her shift, we talked for a bit and one of the conversations that popped up was taking a picture with her dad on the beach and sending it to me so I could film it in the studio, like I had done earlier on in the week.

Then on Monday I was able to film in 2 different locations, I went into college on my day off and filmed the folders with pictures, like I had done on earlier on in the week, only this time with the picture of Emily and her dad and the picture of Humphrey from the show ‘Ghosts.’ Like last time I used Blue as my hands in the shot which didn’t take very long considering I did the other 3 last week. She then left me to do a few more shots and I then packed the studio away and walked back home, where dad took me to the library in Bodmin and filmed in there, but not before asking the people in the library first. I have now finished filming; all I have to do now is edit.

Finding music/ graphics:
Fining music and graphics were both equally stressful. I spet absolutely ages looking for the correct piano music that would fit the title sequence, I ended up with the piano music that I used in the title sequence in my edit. The graphics also took a few hours to find, the first one I found only took about 20 minuets to find, but I had to pay for them, so about 3 hours later I found the one I used in the title sequence.

Editing:
When it came to editing, I had to write lots of notifications, because the scene didn't make much sense without them. Saying this, no one could actually read the notifications, because they were so fast, even so my focus was more on the title sequence, because that's what the project was supposed to be about. If someone deconstructed my title sequence and scene, they would have easily guessed the many genera's, but in my feedback because they weren't watching every single shot properly, they didn't get that my collar grading was supposed to make people think that the genera was misinterpreting it to make them think that it was a horror.
