We have had various meetings as a group and we of course decided on the genre/theme of our opening sequence in the first meeting and then proceeded to draw up a story board. Which can be seen in our post about project development (post). We also thought about specific shots that we would like to use, this can also be seen in the project development post as we have uploaded images of us whilst working.
Later meetings, we discussed about where we are with our work and then we figured out what step we next needed to take, for example we would set individuals the tasks of researching sound tracks which could used for our piece or even titles and artwork which could be effective.

Editing
Today we came up to edit our sequence in a group.
We have nearly finished editing our piece and it will soon be finished, it has taken time but we're almost complete, we have used the software Adobe Premier and below is an example of us editing. The left side organising our clips and on the right the preview, on the bottom is our timeline.
We have found that this programme is quite tricky to use however after experimenting with the footage we have found that it is a really good programme which enables us to do a lot.
Locations
At first we said that we would shoot our opening sequence at the putney exchange centre as we thought it would create a good atmosphere and it suited our plans for filming and allowed us to film exactly how we wanted to, however this came with difficulties as we was not allowed to film at putney due to private property permissions.
So then we decided that we would film in New Malden car park, we chose this as it was also just as convenient for us as it did not not restrict any of the shots which we had planned to shoot in Putney, New Malden was also convenient due to where most of us live.
Here are pictures off where we filmed in New Malden.
These four images above and to the left are all the images of our location on the roof of the car park, we thought it was effective because of the open space and the back drop it gives with the view as it overlooks everything else.
These two are images of the stairs and the lifts, which are both used in our opening scene, we used a lift and stairs as we wanted to highlight the contrast between the two different characters.

Costumes and Props. Creating of the Mise-En-Scene
Balaclava Masks Worn by Charlie And Ryan
BB Guns (Not Loaded these are toys) Used by Charlie And Ryan
Duffle Bag x2
We want to use these props to emphasise the conventions of the thriller/ crime genre.
These were our initial ideas, however we came to the conclusion that it would be difficult to be able to use the guns and the balaclava's in our opening sequence as it goes against our health and safety regulations and the gun's especially would pose a diffuculty in public, as members of the public could easily become confused and mistake the toy guns for real ones.
In the end we decided to only use the two duffle bags as props.
Storyboarding!
In our lesson today we sat down and talked about the ideas which we have. We agreed on a couple of main ideas considering our decided location which is a car park nearby and therefore we thought we were ready to start creating our storyborad!
Here is Omed with his amazing drawings!
