Since my last log we have completed our story boards and have now moved on to finding location for filming, we've decided to try and keep it on college grounds, this allows easier access for Me, Emily and cast members to meet and allows better communication between us. We've decided to film the inside shots in the boy's cloakroom as there are a series sinks with mirrors, we cna use one of these to achieve a home-like set. The outside we have found a treeline within the college grounds which is able for us to get behind and to film through the trees, also we plan to use a pathway down the side of the college, giving it a very public-looking area.
The next thing we looked into was casting, we decided to ask Mathew Beare to play the killer as he is does theatre studies and he has experience in theatre, we also decided on using Emma for the opening victim as she has the acting capability and she's very dependable and goes out of her way to help. both accepted and were willing to give up their free time to help so i believe we made a good choice.
We also developed our story boards a little by adding more use of hand held cam with the POV shots to empasise the idea of being watched and to try and convey more emotion.
We have also decided not to name the characters as, in regards to the killer, we want to continue the idea of enigmas and keep an air of mystery for the time being, also this is only the opening of a full movie and therefore as the killer is the criminal (or villan) we didnt want to reveal too much too soon, also the events in the first two minutes are only there to establish the mystery of the movie, the "Hero" later will reveal the identity of the victim and the muderer as part of a full movie plot.

Post Filming
Filming went reasonably well, unfortunately due to illnes and the busy booking of the cameras, we had a very short amount of time to film and only had a couple of hours, alot less than i would've liked. On top of that we were not able to predict the weather and was stuck filming in the rain, and thought this probaly enhanced the feel of the sequence we run the risk of further decrease in diegetic sound quality as we had to use an umbrella to protect the camera.
All that is left to do is edit and post an evaluation
