Today we stayed in the classroom to create props, and do the Team Logo. Lester and Shannon's job was to do the logo, and Mine and Sophie's job was to do the prop. The prop was a 'Mental Hospital Release Form' and after doing extensive research I was able to find a template form which we used to help layout our Release Form. Sophie created the form, but I handed her the information to put on the form.
Lester and Shannon both created the Team Logo, which will feature in our opening sequence, and they also created the Logo for the Psychiatric Hospital which our opening sequence begins in.

On Thursday the 23rd of January we successfully did bits of shooting backstage in the hall. This is because it fitted our needs for an asylum looking place, as it was very plain, and had access to scenery and props.

On Friday 24th January we went to Apex to film, but the park being waterlogged in all possible areas of filming prevented us from doing so. We have now changed our filming in the Apex to Friday 31st January, we will be doing filming at Sophie's house sometime next week.

On Wednesday the 29th of January we successfully did bits of shooting for hall shots, featuring characters walking down the hall. This is for the inside of the Asylum.

Filming/Editing Schedule

In today's Lesson we made a Filming/Editing schedule as seen below:

Thursday 23rd Jan	Hall (Backstage)
Friday 24th Jan	Apex
Tuesday 28th Jan	Apex (Finish)
Wednesday 29th Jan	Hall
Thursday 30th Jan	Manor (Sophie, Shannon)

Friday Afternoon 31st Jan	Sophie’s house
Tuesday 4th Feb	Manor (All)
Wednesday 5th Feb	Editing
Thursday 6th Feb	Editing
Friday 7th Feb	Editing + last bit of filming
Monday-Friday 10th-14th Feb	Finish editing.

This is a very useful schedule as we have planned from today, up to the deadline what we are going to be doing towards our opening scene. This also shows that we are using our time effectively, and it shows when we need to be finished by, allowing us to improve on our time management. It also tells us when we need to be editing, as we will need to start that hopefully when filming is finished. Provided we use our time wisely.

Deadline- 14th Feb
