We have filmed our last clips for our short video for the coursework. When we uploaded the clips onto the laptop and sorted them out in order the opening was not appropriate as we have our main actor waking up in the morning. The problem with that was that we have not established where it was taken place. So we went out again and went on the top floor of a high building, this was because we wanted a clear view of the city (Canary Wharf), The reason why we wanted to film canary wharf was that most comedy setting are taken place in the city and we wanted to show that our opening of a film was located in London city. We zoomed into Canary Wharf and slowly zoomed out, then had another shot zooming into a window, this shows where our character is sleeping.
As you all know we have been basing our opening clip on a comedy film. And as we were filming we had a lot of problems on how we were going to establish that our film was based on comedy genre. whilst we were having problems we had looked at many opening scenes of comedy films and we had realized that no comedy film opening starts off funny, it just builds up and slowly gets in to the mode of the genre.
We had filmed a scene and found that it wasn't really a scene you would see in the opening of a film, more of a scene that you'd see in the middle of the film. Fortunately we had realized this before the deadline and changed the whole scene and made it realistic.

Music Workshop
On the 5th of Feb our Group attended a music workshop with Mr Moore from the Music department and we tried to make a sound track for our film clip. We had started off with the drum beats and then worked our way through the music and the melody. We are still currently working on our sound track for our film and we believe that once we have finished, it will establish our film genre.
