We managed to edit all of our footage into a pilot episode. 

Flashing light on characters creates tension for thriller

Extreme close up is very exposing on the characters

Thriller was too short so we need more footage to get it to 2 minutes

Need to decide whether it should end with gun shot or not

Need to create family footage on small TV screen

Subject

What have we done?

Max downloaded iMovie. Bern drew lots of the storyboard and Alen did the minute meeting last night. 

Targets

Max- minute meeting

Bern- complete storyboard

Alen- practise camera work for filming tomorrow

Minute Meetings 1 - 18th November 2014

What have you done?

We have decided to use our second idea ‘The Russian Roulette’, instead of our original idea. We made this change because we thought that the shots were too complicated and we decided to keep it simple.

What are your targets for the next meeting?

Our targets have changed; we have to use less mise-en-scene and no dialogues.

What went well and what went bad?

We think that we were very productive today because we already came up with so many different types of shots for our opening sequence and locations where we will be planning to shoot our thriller opening sequence. Nothing went bad; we think that all of us collaborated well.

Alen: Writing the Minute Meeting

Burn: Finishing up a page of the story board

Max: Needs to download iMovie
