The group created a risk assessment highlighting potential risks and hazards which could occur while filming. It is important to be aware of these so we know how to avoid them and act responsibly.

Key:
High Risk
Medium Risk
Low Risk

Falling over:
We will ensure that appropriate footwear is worn during all photo taking and filming sessions and make sure that the ground we are walking on during a scene/photo is extremely safe before capturing.

Getting Injured By Moving Car:
We will ensure that precautions are put in to place for road safety during footage around roads and we will never film actors crossing busy roads. (If crossing of a road is necessary in one shot, then the cameraman will never rush actor and make sure he/she feels safe crossing the road and that they do it as naturally and safely as possible).

Hypothermia:
During cold weather, we will ensure that all actors have sensible clothing on and if it is necessary to film scenes without appropriate clothing we will complete these scenes with a high level of focus, therefore it is shot efficiency, preventing unnecessary time in the cold weather.

Getting Lost:
During certain "forest" scenes, we will make sure that all actors have phone in their pocket in their pocket if they cannot find way back. However, this will be prevented by filming in groups of three or four at all times, which will limit individual isolation.

Damage to Equipment:
We will make sure, when handling equipment, that we do so gently and slowly, preventing any quick slips, trips or falls with the equipment. We will also share the equipment when walking therefore preventing any one person to carry all of it by themselves, which will hopefully prevent injury or damage to person or equipment.

Strangers/Assault:
We will make sure as a group that we don't annoy or aggravate members of the public during the filming's of our scenes. We will choose fairly isolated areas during the day to avoid this, but if we encounter a person we will take extra safety precautions to avoid awkward questioning or negative vibes.

General Injury:
We will ensure that our locations are near college during, college hours, so if something happened we can quickly return to get help. Also we will always travel in a group of 4, therefore if someone is in trouble, one (or two) member(s) of the group can stay with them whilst the other one or two can run off for help.

Illness:
If a member of a group falls ill time needs to be used efficiently to remain on schedule. If its more than 2hrs we need to find replacement or a definite reschedule date will be set and be met without exception.

Final Planning

This week we have mainly been planning our out our scenes and storyboard. As a group we all decided that the first minute or so should be a really effective series of photographs, in order to do this we thought of creating a sort of collage of pictures or all the chosen actors and then scattering them or pinning them to a cork board. We then had the idea to pan across the pictures once they are in place to get off a detective feel. We all agreed that over the weekend we would all go and take pictures to add to the board. Today we all went out taking certain picture of myself and tom in certain areas to make it look more realistic and more like we were being followed. We are roughly aiming to get about 30 to 40 pictures on the collage.

This storyboard is the start of our ideas, we have started the Photo panning idea which consists of different pictures of past victims. The second shot we decided was also a past victim walking along toton lane. The third shot is very similar which again is two people (a couple) walking across a field.
This is the second page of the storyboard shows the last two shots which are going to be shown in our film. Shot four is the stalkers perception shot and shot five is where the camera suddenly drops and the finishing title comes up of "Out of Focus".

James Bond Opening Credits

Hannibal - Opening Scene

Genre: Horror Thriller
This opening scene is very basic and i think that the credits were very plain and it was very slow paced before it went into the actual sequence.

Editing Completed

Blog for 29th of January:

As for our editing we managed to get it all done in the two periods on the challenge day. I would say that all of our editing went smoothly and there was hardly any problems that occured during our editing stage. Me and Josh worked really hard on the first bit of the editing today then shaun and oliver took over for the second half. We tryed to make sure that all the cuts and any effects that we added in looked believeable for example getting the particular bit of filming to match the audio. After we were happy with the success of our perlimenary task we then saved it and then put the format to film so we could upload it to youtube, to get the URL to upload to our blogs.
