No Copyright Sounds

     As my role is composing the sound , Robert and I found a music website with mp3 soundtracks which are not copyrighted called 'No Copyright Sounds' which will be very useful in our film opening as the music on this website is suitable for our film.

Starting the filming !

We started filming on Thursday 21st January after school at 3:30 pm . It doesnt really matter what time we film in the drama studion or what time of day as the drama studio can go completely black out which is what we need as we are using the photography lights for extra effects. We filmed in our school drama studio as it is easily accessible for me , Rob and both our actors starring in our film.

We filmed the first minute of the interview of our film opening in the drama studio and we will book the drama studio again next week to film the rest of the interview and the fight scene.

When all of that is done we will spend the following weekends with James Mccullin (our freerunning actor) where we will film him freerunning away from the interviewer and getting away ( this will be outside).
