This is a shot of the river which is around the lotcation where we filmed, we had not many problems with members of the public. Lighting was not a problem as we shot during the day and the weather was good.

While filming in town and on Eton bridge we had some problems with memebers of the public getting in the way of shots however we managed to over come it. While filming in town we had no problems with the light as we filmed during the day.

Update- Re Film

We re filimed the bedroom scene at Zacs house as his bedroom was more suited too the age of are character. However we were unable to re film are band performance as all lighting and staging had been removed from the drama studio. Are new footage has been added to are video and the final draft is know finished.

Update- ancillary task

As we have completed are first draft of the video we have decided for the ancillary task that we are going to do a CD cover and the front cover of a magazine. We came up with various ideas including pictures of sunsets and pictures of the band with various effects. We decided on a sunset picture for the front and back cover of the cd cover and band pictures for the inside covers.

Genre Essay

Are As Project was an introduction to a film of the War Genre and involved a missing soldier. Similar to films in the war genre are film was realistic to the time period in which it is set. As I storyline and structure to are video was similar to real events and to other war films. Are misi- en-scene was also realistic to real events. Every film made in this genre follows the same structures for the story as such war films aimed to me realistic and often remake real events from such Wars as WW1 and WW2. Whatever time period a War film is set in to keep the realism the misi en scene is realistic to that time period from the costumes to natural lighting. Throughout are planning for the video we had to research the History of the time period are film was set in to make sure the misi-en-scene is historically correct. We also did the same for the story as well as looking at other films in the war genre. We saw from such research that the storyline and structures of war films have not changed much through time only the quality of the effects this is, as all war films such as the one we made were made historically correct. The variation in the genre of war comes from the different time period as it affects the storylines, location, characters, misi-en-scene etc. Today due to events in Afghanistan most war films made today are based on events around Afghanistan but the same as every other war film are realistic and based on real events. Today’s War films have much more modern techniques and technology for the camera work and editing which adds more to the film making have more of an impact on the audience. Unlike older war films today’s war films focus a lot on relationships between people as well as the war as this adds more and if these people die it has a bigger effect on the audience. For example throughout Saving Private Ryan a relationships builds between the soldiers and you learn more about them as the film goes on. We in cooperated this into are film showing the wife of the soldier in the film and her reaction to the letter informing her husband is missing. Also dissimilar to older war films some of today’s films follow the country, which were seen and are seen as the bad guys in the war. For example Valkrie, which follows the German events in World War 2.
I think that the genre of war has repeated itself throughout time with the structure at storyline of the films, however the modern techniques and technology are needed to draw in a modern audience. Variation of the stories in today’s war films such as a focus on relationships as draw in a modern audience. War Films will also aim to be realistic and historically correct but other details will change as the demands of an audience change.

Update- First Draft Finished

We have finished are first draft of the video ahead of schedule and we were able to get feedback from other pupils. From the feedback we found two faults, we needed more range of shots like close ups in the band performance of the instruments. We also found that are band performance could do with some livening up with lights, smoke etc. In the feedback the good points that came out included lip-syncing and the story are video portrays.
