Editing.
For the past two lessons Ashleigh and I have been focusing on the music for our film while Mercedes and Rosie focus on the editing. It as been fairly difficult to make sure that the timing of the music is in timing with the film, it has also been challenging to create the music from scratch and find the appropriate music for each character for example, ballet music for 'Charlotte' and Hip hop beats for 'Stacey.'
Rosie and Mercedes have created a short istop motion clip to put in to our film, however, it was hard.

Filming
Day One: Tuesday 8th of December
We took a sequence of photo's on a digital camera against the brick wall and of us messing about on the field. The idea is to then upload into iStop motion and use as part of our childrens film opening. Unfortunatley, we didn't dress like our appropriate characters, but we saw a natural difference in our styles any way, also we were missing one of our group on this day. And had to begin without her.
Day Two: Thursday 10th of December
We filmed the part of the bedroom pinboard, unfortunatley no pin board but we found some doors that could be believed to be wardrobe doors as a substitute. We filmed this instead of iStop motion becuase the class room was not ideal due to wall space. We did consider filming it on the table, but then thought that shadows might not give us the realism we wanted. For the credits we decided to use post-it notes that looked like a girl's notes to herself. We also worked on the music some more.
Day Three: Friday 11th of December
Today we're editing our work because we were told we're going to be one lesson short next week. We have to record the audio of Ashleigh narrating the opening and put it over the footage, along with the music. As we only have 2 lessons next week for editing, we'll have to work fast. Writing the script is next to do.

Brain Wave!
Tuesday 1st of December
Looking at a range of different film openings, children and teenage, such as Juno, Josie and the pussycats, Cheetah Girls, The Break up and Freaky Friday. We decided:-
Target Audience:- Young girls, 11 years old, 'coming of age'.
Plot: - A cork board it a girl's bedroom, starting off with pictures of them young together then growing older and staying friends, however, they begin to drift apart in the pictures. We decided that the four main characters would have typical stereo-types as they have grown older such as a skater girl, a posh ballet dancer, a musical chav girl and a geek.
Location:- In the 'posh ballet dancer's' bedroom. We will use a pink sheet of paper for the background and a cork board to create this illusion. We will bring in pictures from when we were children
Sound:- We think the opening to our children's film should have a narrator, since it's partly set in the 'posh girls' bedroom we decided it would be her. The narrator would introduce the characters. The music playing in the background we all decided would be acoustic when the characters were together, but then changing for each of the character's , i.e
Posh Ballet Dancer= Classical Music,
Skater girl = Rock/Punk
Chav Girl = Hip Hop/Grime
Geek Girl = Upbeat Techno
Rough Script:-
At the beginning, this was us (picture) thats Charlotte, Stacey and Brody we have been best friends since i can remember. We did everything together.
This is Charlotte, she has always loved to dance. She's the popular one out of the four of us.
Stacey, well she had always been loud, a little aggressive and boy does she know how to party but she knows how to make us laugh.
Then there is Brody, she's a skater, spends most of her time with the 'lad's' down at the skate park. She is very good at it, 3 60 flips and everything.
And this is me (shot of Lucy on her own.) Lucy, let's just say I'm the outsider of the group. I spend a lot of my spare time studying whilst the others are out shopping.
