New Idea
Our rough cut was far too dark so we will need to film it again. Instead of our original idea of having a robbery at a house we are going to change it to an attempted car robbery. Our main reason for doing this is to make sure our continuity is successful. This means the attempted car robbery can be filmed close to the alley in which the chase is held. If we kept our original idea of a house robbery the continuity could be lost because we would have to change location from the house to the alley which may not be successful.
So our idea is that a robbery is breaking into a car, the owner then comes out and the chase begins. The robber is chased down the alley and is then knocked out. The screen then goes all dark and the title of the film is shown, 'Cold Chase'.

Evaluation of ILP Day
Usefulness 4/10
Work Achieved 3/10
Software usefulness 5/10
Structure 5/10
I learnt a great deal throughout the day. I learnt a lot on how Adobe Premier Pro works and the features that can be used in order to edit video. I also learnt how to add and edit sound which then can be edited onto the video. Even though I learnt a great deal about the software very Little work was completed editing wise because the software crashed at least three times. This resulted in our group completing our other aim of the ILP day which was to research chase scenes.
Our group looked at chase scenes from 'Prom Night', 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre' and 'Casino Royale'. We also looked at chase scenes from 'Forest' and 'Reply' which were two independent film which we found on 'YouTube'.
From our research we found out that the shots were mostly completed by the use of long shots and close up. We concluded that the long shots were used to establish the depth of the chase whilst the close ups were used to show emotion of the characters which is used to build tension and to keep the audience interested in what they are watching.

Plan for ILP
Our group aims to complete the editing for our rough cut. We plan to edit all the clips together and to add titles to the clips. We also aim to research chase scenes from other movies such as from Casino Royale and other thriller chase scenes. We will do this in order to find out what makes a good chase scene and how we can make our thriller beginning look good.

First Draft Rough Cut
Mairead and Charlie completed a great amount of filming in order for our first version of our rough to be completed. They filmed down an alley in Chalfont St Peter. They filmed at this location because our group had planned for the chase scene to be in a alley to add to the effect of the thriller. Charlie and Mairead filmed at around 7.00pm on the 28th of January.
Mairead completed the low down shots. She did this by sitting on the ground in order to film. This method was very effective because the shots were steady and clear. Charlie, on the other hand, completed the high up shots which consisted of the high angle shots. He did this by using the tripod and climbed up a nearby tree in order to get the correct shot.
Problems:
1. The first draft of out rough cut was too short only lasting for around 20 seconds. This needs to be made considerably longer as the final version needs to be approximately 2 minutes.
2. The footage was too dark. This needs to be made brighter the next time we film. We will do this by maybe filming at an earlier time in the day or using torches as props in the chase. By doing this the shots will be more clearer and lighter.
