Production Meeting 4
28/11/13
Sophie, Curtis and Josh are present.
We discussed about what went wrong when it came to filming, it seemed who went out filming at a bad time as most of the class rooms doors were not available, limiting our chances of getting a door with an empty room.
We then discussed of what struggles we faced when using After Effects, two of our members (Sophie and Josh) had trouble with the software as they were not used to it, and so the remaining person(Curtis) who succeeded his task, is willing to help the other two get used to the software.
Moreover, we had a discussion about what we need to learn, Curtis thought we would need to go through the basics of After Effects again so Sophie and Josh are used to the software and won't have any trouble making visual effects from scratch. And to also learn to plan ahead when shooting, like the outcome and when filming how would it effect the editing.
Finally, we discussed about the assets (Make up, costumes and props) All the characters are going to be wearing usual clothing, make up is not going to be used. The props we are going to be using are every day school like objects including a planner and a time table

Visual Effect Research
1: Door opening by telekinesis when the student waves her hand.
This can be achieved by recording the door being opened separately from the POV of the student then using the After Effects tutorial above to help with the effects.
2: Students using powers outside.
Outside there are students using powers, One of them is going to be Teleporting around the field
and the other could be Laser Beams shooting from their hands and them having laser fights.
We could use this tutorial to help, but change it from the eyes to the hands.

Group Meeting 19/11/13
Everyone Is Present.
Together we created the script by combining all 3 of our separate scripts to make them into one.
We then each had a copy of the new script which we broke apart and separated into the scenes and shot types which we thought suited best.
Once we had done that, we collaborated and listened to each-others shot idea's to see which of them we like.
We have decided to use my Scene 1 and 2 where it's a high angle shot of Hannah walking while the Narrator is talking and the Forward Tracking Shot when she is opening/reading the letter, And also the Side angle shot of Hannah walking to the reception in Scene 2.
Also we have decided to use Josh's Scene 3 when there is a Low and High angle shots when Hannah bumps into the other student.
Finally we have decided to use Sophie's Scene 4 of when Hannah watches the students as she sits and watches them use their powers.
