MY CONTRIBUTION
My contribution towards the project, was to film and direct the opening sequence and create the opening titles on Live Type. I feel that the first time I directed the first sequence, I was very unfamiliar with how to use the camera and how to make sure all the shots were correct. Therefore, re-shooting gave me the chance to learn from my mistakes and make sure I could make the second time better. However, the second time we re-shoot the weather was very unreliable and we ended up having to re-shoot again as the lighting was different in the majority of the shots. This gave me the opportunity to be more organized and prepared for everything the next time. I felt the final time, I got all the shots right and made sure I included many close ups to really capture the character's facial expressions as well as to create a good montage sequence.
For the opening titles, I used Live Type, it took me a while understand what to do as it was quite complicated. However I managed to create simple but effective opening titles.
Overall, Nini, Kate and myself all made an equal contribution and are extremely happy with the way our project turned out.

EDITING, MUSIC, TITLES
We all made sure that we each put the exact same amount of input into this coursework, during the production Kate and I both directed and filmed it equally. Nini was the main character with the appearence Julian Wogman who played the character Jason.
During the editing, I took on the role of creating the titles on LivetType, Kate created the music on Garage Band and Nini edited the film together.
GARAGE BAND:
LIVETYPE:
FINAL CUT PRO:
We wanted to create an upbeat type of sound on garage band for our opening sequence, despite Daisy being a darker character. We didn't want to create a dark and gloomy atmosphere as the music creates a fun sound and I feel that it allows the audience to be drawn in to the storyline.

Due to few problems during the previous times we filmed, my group decided it was best that we re-shoot as we made a detailed and organized shot list and storyboard. This would enable us to correct all of our previous mistakes. I decided to work with my two friends Kate and Nini. We decided that as we all enjoy teen movies that relate to us, we would base our film on a movie like 'Legally Blonde,' or 'Freaky Friday.' We thought it would be easier to do then an opening scene for a horror movie because it would be too complicated and as none of us were very experienced with the camera we preferred to make it as simple as possible but still effective. In both the two movies we studies, the first scenes start with the main character waking up and getting ready for the day. Both movies give us an insight into the type of character which we are seeing and it sets the scene for us and gives us an idea into what the movie may be about.
Kate, Nini and I decided that we would create this opening sequence to be age appropriate for 13 -18 year olds. We didn’t want it to just appeal to a younger audience therefore instead of making the character too much like the character in Legally Blonde, we made sure our character was a bit more edgier and had a bit more attitude in order for teenagers to be able to relate to her.
The main character, Daisy is 16 years old; they live in a suburban house and when we filmed we made sure we captured the street and a wide shot of the house itself. Daisy is fairly tall and has dark brown hair and wears dark eye make-up and you could interpret that her sense of style shows that she may be the type to rebel. Her room is fairly mature, quite plain, lots of white. There is mess on top of the drawers, such as clothes, jewellery, make up and telephone.
The first thing the audience are going to see are the distribution logos. They will see the company who have distributed our opening scene which are ‘Optimum Releasing.’ Then ‘A Bass Film’ will appear followed by ‘A Shurgaia Harris Film.’We used a black background with Ariel font and white writing to make it look simple but effective.
The camera then pans upwards to reveal the street location, then there is a dissolve where you see the actual house and then another dissolve into the shot of Daisy lying in bed. The audience will then see an extreme close up shot of Daisy lying in bed, her dark hair will cover the camera. She has her back to the camera. She then turns round to reveal her face as she wakes up and rubs her eyes. The title ‘Chasing Daisy’ then appears on the screen.
We created a montage sequence and it starts from when the camera shows a close up of Daisy pulling on her ripped tights and the camera pans up towards her thigh. Then we see a shot of her bedside table which has a beer bottle, cigarettes, lip gloss and a bracelet which she grabs and puts on her wrist. Next is a close up of Daisy zipping up her leather skirt then there is a high angle shot of Daisy putting on her shoes. The camera pans again across the glass chest of drawers which reveals books, t-shirts, mobile phone, jewellery and a hat, this creates an idea of what type of character she is.
Then an extreme close up of Daisy putting on her mascara, then a medium close up of her putting on her t-shirt. We then see an extreme close up of Daisy applying her lip gloss. The camera then takes a shot outside the room and on the bedroom door, which Daisy soon opens and she walks out and we see the majority of her outfit. We then see her walk downstairs into the kitchen as a wide shot.
The camera then shows a medium shot of the character Jason who plays her brother, sitting at the kitchen table. He is reading a magazine and looks angry, he looks up as Daisy walks past and his expression shows that he is unimpressed with her. Daisy then sits at the table with a glass of water.
The next shot is of her walking out her front door and it is a wide shot, she walks past the camera and then it cuts to her walking down the road, and it’s an establishing shot. It then fades out but the music still plays for 10 seconds.
For the mise en scene we wanted to create a bright and calm atmosphere to contrast against the character Daisy. Therefore the room we filmed in had neutral colours, everything was white apart from her clothes and make up and the mess that we see on her drawers.
For the final re-shoot, we made sure we planned the time of day accurately. We filmed from around 11 in the morning till 3. This was because we wanted to make sure that there was enough light and the sun would shine through to the bedroom, which it did. Luckily the weather was very good that day.
