We decided to film two pots of coffee instead of walking because in scene one the split screen is of alarms not people. Although I used the same shot for this split screen we are using different shots in the opening sequence. The outcome wasn't exactly how we intended but we are still trying to work out how to edit them more effectively.

Production Meeting 4
Date: 10th January 2013
Present: Bethany Hutson, Katie Bannock, Camille Pierrart and Ellie Bunce (Me)
Focus: Plan (Create a scene breakdown, shot list and production schedule)
In our fourth production meeting we got started on planning filming our opening sequence, this included making a scene breakdown, shot list and production schedule. We assigned ourselves different roles, Bethany and Camille made the scene breakdowns using our storyboard we used in our production pitch (http://www.scribd.com/doc/118314176/BECK-Production-Pitch) and I created our shot list and a summary of each scene (the props, costumes, equipment etc used). We also tried to schedule a time to start filming when we were all free by creating a table of dates but ran out of time. Although we didn't finish our production schedule we each printed a blank schedule which we had to fill in before our next meeting.
Action Point: Fill in detail of scenes on production schedule.

Production Meeting 3
Date: 13th December
Present: Bethany Hutson, Katie Bannock, Camille Pierrart and Ellie Bunce (Me)
Focus: Begin to create production pitch (everyone get started on their individual tasks)
Action point: Finish production pitch
In our third production meeting we were told to make an production pitch by Mr Buckmaster for the following lesson to show to him and the class. The production pitch had to include, a synopsis/brief, mood board, locations, cast/characters, treatment, soundtrack and a storyboard. This was Mr Buckmaster's example for us: http://marlboroughmediastudies.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/production-pitch.html
We all had different tasks to do to create our production pitch. Bethany did the storyboard and treatment, Camille did the brief, Katie looked for a soundtrack and I did the mood board, locations, cast/characters and made the power point presentation.

Focus: Brainstorm ideas, and discuss any sequences we had watched
In our second production meeting we started thinking about ideas for our opening sequences, here are some of them:
- Two people (boy and girl) waking up
- Sister and brother on a dog walk, stranger watching them
- Missing child (posters, then we see the child)
- Home videos of a boy growing up, then we see him now
We then voted on the idea we wanted for our opening sequence, here are the results:
- Three votes
- No votes
- One vote
- No votes
So we decided to do the two people waking up, we then discussed this idea and expanded on it thinking about them crossing in the street but not acknowledging one another to set up an enigma for the rest of the play.

In our first production meeting we looked at different genres and sub genres in films in order to help us come with ideas for our opening sequence. Below is a spider diagram of genres and sub-genres:
We eliminated genres we wanted to stay away from or didn't think were able to do such as:
- Fantasy
- Melodramas
- Crime
- Epics/historical
- Magical
- Science fiction
- Westerns
This was because we thought they would be hard to portray realistically and we wanted our opening sequence to be believable. We also thought it would be hard make these type of films with our low budget, experience and knowledge.
We also thought about genres we to consider for our opening sequence such as:
- Romance
- Horror
- Crime
- Action
- Drama
Our action point was to look at opening sequences and bring some ideas for our next meeting.
