Final Piece
-| The Final Version of the film |-
Below is the final video we uploaded to vimeo, a higher quality video site than youtube.
We began editing on the 13th January.
Firstly, we imported the films onto the Macs. Then we used the editing program called "Imovie". After familiarizing ourselves with 'Imovie' we only spent limited hours on the Macs (Due to restricted access and time) Due to this the Majority of the editing was done using the high quality video editing program 'Sony Vegas Pro' As the editing was being done on Ibby's computer, I used a program called 'teamviewer' which allows me to control another person computer from my own computer this allowed me to be involved with the editing, giving my opinions on what, when, how, who whilst also physically editing the video from my computer We made several different videos to get opinions from others on what they like, we then finished our editing on the 19th Feb.
____________________________________________________
We started filming in December on the 17th. We also during the Christmas holidays ( 28th of December.) I was largely the director of the film, getting actors to be involved, arranging times, deciding what shots to do, getting actors in position (behind the scenes stuff)
By the time we were back at school we had a film a majority of our shots. Our filming was reasonably successful but some shots had to be re do some shots such as the conversation with between Sam and Helena.

The Task.
The Group:
• Matthew Springett
• Ibby Akkas
• Elsie Barker
Synopsis of our Main Task
At first Charlie seems to despise his new life, not getting on with the locals and finding it very hard living with his slightly odd but very comic aunt. Eventually Charlie starts to appreciate the smaller things in life and begins to enjoy the company of the peculiar characters of the small town he is living in. Charlie, who has made quite and impression on the locals, falls in love with the land lord of the pub (were he works) daughter. When things are looking up for Charlie he is approached with the gang, who have found him. As well as Charlie being threatened with death unless he pays them the money, he is also disturbing the town and many of the people living are very distraught.
Influences
There were a few films that influenced into creating our synopsis;
• http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=zKuhanoH_ds
• http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=cDL8juJ5uBc
From these two intro’s we were confident we could combine the ideas and make our own effective opener in two minutes.
The Storyboard.
For the Storyboard the group and I decided to do a photographic storyboard. The storyboard contains the certain shots we are going to take, how long the shots are going to be and how we are going to sequence our opening two minutes. Below is a link to the storyboard.

By the time we were back at school we had a film a majority of our shots. Our filming was reasonably successful but some shots had to be re do some shots such as the conversation with between Sam and Helena.
We agreed to re-shoot on the 14th of January. On this day we went over shoots such as the conversation Sam and Sam running around the corner. However, Ibby and I agreed that there needed to be a scene where it convinces the audience that Sam had got away from the bullies to give him enough time to disguise himself and hide.

-| The Main Task |-
The Task.
For the task we have to create a two minute opening to our film. We had to make the opening scene enthralling, exciting and most importantly make the audience eager to watch more.

Synopsis of our Main Task
Charlie Biggs is living in Camden in a small flat, unemployed and loving his care free life Charlie finds himself getting into all different kinds of trouble but somehow always seeming to get away with it, down to his charm and wit. Eventually Charlie finds himself in a situation which he can’t talk his way out of. Because he is in trouble with the law and a local gang, who are a lot bigger than him, his only choice is to move far away were no one can find him. Reluctantly he moves to rural Suffolk to live with his quirky great aunt, Enid.

The Pitch
The Group and I have to pitch our ideas to the media department in order to gain the integral equipment. Below is our pitch.
Film Schedule
The group and I have agreed to begin the filming process on Wednesday the 10th of December. furthermore, we have agreed to 11,15 and the 18th of Decemeber. All these dates are efficient for us because the group have free periods during some of these days and we have media lessons. The group are willing, to do extra days if needed to finish the task.
We have agreed to locate our shots at 3 different places;
• Cherwell School (North Site)
• Cornmarket St (Town)
• Paradise Square (Town)
Pitch
Charlie Biggs is a sharp, attractive, impish, smooth talking, young man living in a working class area in North London. In trouble with the law, and various gangs around him he finds himself in a very sticky situation. To get away from his problems and lifestyle his only option is to move to rural Suffolk and live with his quirky great aunt on her 50 acre farm. The inevitable culture clash brings hilarious consequences but also love and happiness.
Editing
We predict we will finish our task by the 15th of December. We then will try and earn extra time in the mac rooms and in addition to this use our media lessons to edit our films.
