Raw Footage

Here is the raw footage of our As media final task. This is the order which we want our shots to be in but are yet to be edited. However we have included the main title of 'Maddison'. This was done on our first intial day of me and Rebeka editing together. See Editing Day One Post for a video on the break down of what we done.

Editing- Rough Edits

Here is a quick edit I done at home on windows movie maker after we completed all filming. Me and Rebeka have both created our own initial edits of 'Maddison' from this we have then learnt what we like from the editing as you can see below both of our diffrent ideas about how we want our final edit to look like.

The making of Maddison- Behind the Scenes

Maddison Costume, Hair and Make-Up

After researching into antagonists we found that Maddison wearing white was best as it suggested her innocence as being a child. Because of colour usually suggests being pure. We have then added the red boots and ribbon as they indicate danger to the audience which is what Scarlett sees Maddison as. Her make up has been done lightly with a light foundation so her face is clean and quite pale. Then just lipstick and mascara to make the features stand out a bit more. Making her more 'doll' like. Her hair is ties in to pigtails as that is the general stereotype for how young girls and 'dolls' have there hair; obviously then with the red ribbon.



Other Casting Photographs

Dr. Lewis. We have kept Lewis in a basic smart/casual look. The smart shirt with tie and black trousers is just a general look which we want the doctor to be like. We want him to be presented as a safe figure for Scarlett, like a friend but also show his professional status. With his sleeves rolled up it suggests he has a more layed back/ casual  personality. 
We picked Lewis to play the role of the doctor because he looks sophisticated and older than his years. He also takes as drama so has the acting skills we need to make our final piece look professional.


Scarlett's friend needs to wear a bit more colour as she is at a good point however the dark bit on the dress shows a connection to Scarlett. As if she can link to her but she isn't in the dark place. We picket me to play the role of Scarlett's friend because I have had experience with acting in plays before and Jaime-lea who is playing the part of Scarlett is my friend in real life so the acting and situation is more realistic. Meaning are audience can make a clearer link to the both of us being friends. It also means acting run smother as we are both confident around each other.


Scarlett is going to change a few times during the filming to make it look like the events were on diffrent days. However for ease and stciking to a conventional 'wardrobe' she will wear jeans and then just change tops or add jumpers over the top. The clothers are going to be Jamie the actors clothes which she wears normally so it is deffinatley something that someone her age would wear. However we have asked that the clothes are darker and that she doesnt really wear white to clash with our convention of the antagonist, Maddison.

Crew List

Me and Rebeka have worked together on previous media tasks such as are preliminary task and practising with the camera. Before in the tasks I have had general control of the camera and Rebeka has directed what is going on and we both check to shots together.

As this has previously worked well for us these are the roles we are going to have when shooting our final horror opening sequence.

As there is only two of us additional friends may come along to take behind the scene pictures of during filming so we are focusing a 100% on what we are doing with the recording.
