Editing 1

The first bit of editing we did was on the scene where Maria and David were arguing. As this scene is a flashback, a black and white filter was applied to emphasise this. A fade to white was also aded before and after this clip to make it look more like a flashback. It gives the viewers a sense of what Maria is thinking about. There will also be intercuts of Maria planning what she is going to do during the flashback. This will show that she is thinking about the situation whilst planning it.

Filming 2

On the second day of filming, I filmed Maria planning what she is join g to do to Laura. This scene was set in an office at her workplace. We actually filmed it in school but we moved some desks and chairs around to make it look like an office. In the scene, Maria finds out private information about Laura and whilst doing this she is having the flashback of her and her boyfriend arguing.

She then calls in one of her work colleagues as she wants his help with the plan. She asks him to kidnap her and asks if he is able to do it. The colleague, Carl, is up for doing the job and he gets someone else from the workplace, John, to help him.

On the day of doing the job, John and Carl are outside Laura's house in a car waiting for her to leave for work. They then get a phone call from Maria asking if they can see Laura, they can and at that moment they turn the car around and grab her. As John gets out of the car to get the girl, there are intercuts of Maria back in her office going to her filing cabin rand getting out a knife. This leaves the viewers thinking that she is going to kill her.

Filming 1

First Day of Filming

On the first day of filming, we filmed two different scenes at Aaliyah's house. The scenes that were filmed were the arguing scene between Maria and David and the scene that shows Laura leaving her house. The reason why we filmed these two scenes is because these were the only scenes that needed to be filmed inside a house.

In the arguing scene, Maria is Accusing David of cheating her and proves it by throwing the phone at him. On the phone Maria sees that another girl is leaving comments on David's pictures which he has uploaded to Facebook. Because of this, Maria instantly thinks that David is talking to other girls behind her back. Maria decides not to believe this as past relationships that she has been in have come to the same conclusion.

The second scene that we shot was the girl Laura leaving her house on the phone to her boss because she is running late. Laura is the girl that Maria sees leaving comments on Davids pictures. As she is walking out of the house, Maria has a plan to make her pay for what she did.

Animatic

The animatic is a short video of each individual scene from our storyboard. They have been put in order to represent what happens in our film.

The animatic was created by taking pictures of each image on the storyboard using the schools camera. The images were then uploaded to the computer and by using Premier Pro, they were all put in order to make a short video. Sound was then added along with the title "Animatic of Stalker". The video has no writing in it as it is being presented as a cartoon version of the actual film.

Storyboard



 To plan out our thriller, me and Aaliyah drew out a storyboard. The storyboard shows the key scenes of the film, describing how they will be shot when filmed and what sound will be involved in that scene. Also, notes were made to help us when filming and editing.
