Action Plan
We need to put the rest of footage in and make sure the order is right, adding titles to footage of blood and transitions in between each clip. We also need to start to create our soundtrack.

Before we filmed we tested some different ways of creating fake blood however we found that in water they were not very effective. On the day of our shoot we simply used red food colouring in water and found that it spread very effectively and gave the effect we wanted. Hoepfully when we come to edit our sequence the effect of realistic blood will make the audience feel that it is more genuine and make them more uncomfortable.

We are about to start creating the final soundtrack for our thriller project. When making the animatic we found this very time consuming and didn't quite get the effect we wanted. We will create the soundtrack at the same time as editing the shots to ensure that they fit well together. Although it will take a lot of time we want to create a good soundtrack to accompany our opening sequence as we have put a lot of preperation into the filming and want to create a good effect.

When we were filming we encountered quite a few problems that we didn't expect. We had planned to start filming a lot earlier than we were able to on the night and this meant that it was very dark outside. When we filmed our original shots we found that it was hard to make out what was happening. We solved this by moving the shots closer to windows so that there was a light source nearby.

The filming of our opening sequence was harder than we expected. We managed to get all the shots we needed and we stuck as closely as possible to the shot list. As we knew exactly what effect we wanted to create and how we would need to do that we put a lot of preperation into our shot list to save us time and make our filming as simple as possible. We didn't add any other scenes or shots into our shot list but if a shot was too hard to film because of the angle or light then we edited it slightly so that it would fit in with the rest of our shots.

Your blog looks great. Your animatic is excellent, it very effectively communicates your idea. The mark of a good blog is whether or not it gives the reader a strong idea of what you are trying to achieve with your project, this one definitely does that. Well done.

We have just finished composing the sketch of our sound track to accompany the animatic. We found that this was harder than we thought it would be as many of the effects we wanted to use did not work well together. We eventually decided to use a guitar as our main instrument, but timing it with the changes of scene in our animatic was hard. We have recently included some different effects to make our animatic sound as if it includes both diagetic and non diagetic sound. The sound effects we used include a dripping tap in the background of the scenes in the bathroom to give the effect that the there is no other sound in the bathroom itself.

I recently followed the recipe we found on the internet on how to make fake blood to make sure that we could get the effect we wanted when we filmed our sequence. I made sure that the blood spread well in water and didn't look too pale. I tried several different methods in order to make sure that we got the best possible effect. Hopefully the method that i have found will give us an effective scene and won't look too tacky.
