Wednesday 23rd November
Unfortunately, the day in taking the photo's Jordan, playing the role of Connor became ill and couldn't make it. As a group, we took this into great consideration and chose someone else to fill in for him on that day.
We understood that this could've effected our animatic has he did not know our plot in great detail but we would've had an advantage of taking detail's of shots and what to improve on.
Overall the day was a great success, with the weather being a bonus. We took all the shots needed in the forest and at Kelly's house and took more photo's than needed to add in the animatic.
Although, we did find it quite difficult carrying all the equipment and visibility got difficult as it started to get dark earlier than expected. As a group that for the filming of the trailer we would be more prepared by taking rucksack's to carry the equipment with torches to be able to see.
Friday 25th November
On this day we then finished the shots we needed to take in school, with Emma being able to find time to attend. For these shots we needed a few extra's to play the roles of the bullies and young Mrs Kynch. We found volunteers in our year which was happy to do it. As a group we also decided to use the same 'extra's' people used in the actual filming as they suited the roles pefectly.
Overall the shots we took were extremely pleasing, and I am happy with all the ones we took. After finishing the shots we are now learning to edit the shots to make the animatic and add audio.

Media Animatic
As a group we then had to choose who would play the characters in the anamatic. We decided that all four of us would play a role as it would much easier to film and we would all understand the plot in great detail and do what's best for our trailer. However we did need one more female to be in our film, so we chose a close friend who is known to be a good actress and confident which fitted the role perfectly.
Roles:
Tom: Dafydd Halls
Connor: Jordan Dilley
Sophie: Kelly Griffiths
Holly: Emma Partonroe
Mary: Katie Samuel
As a group we then found a date to take the photo's of the anaimatic that would suit us all. As we have lessons at certain times, and other things such as sports and part time jobs we had to work around a schedule.
We eventually decided Wednesday 23rd of November after school which suited us all pefectly. The photos would take place at a forest behind Kelly's house which was a realistic setting for the film, and easy to travel to.
The props we needed for the photo's were;
-Tent
-Sleeping bag
-Coats
-Rope
-White Dress
-Old fashioned ring
-Diary
-Bags
When filming the trailer we agreed in using more props and going in greater detail in appereance wuch as the use of make up and contact lenses for Mary etc.

As a group we then decided which shots to use in our animatic in great detail, altogether choosing 54 shots. Although realising that this may changed due to taking the photos, as we may change the type of shot or how many we take.
