We had to choreograph the fight between Connor and I so it looked slick and not 'fake'. Once we had all the different shots we put them into Final Cut and reversed the sequence, this adds to the effect when the beat drops.

Filming the final murder scene
During the last week of school, we spent over 2 hours trying to perfect the murder scene.
We had to choreograph the fight between Connor and I so it looked slick and not 'fake'. Once we had all the different shots we put them into Final Cut and reversed the sequence, this adds to the effect when the beat drops.

Back of Digi-Pak
Over the last week, during our lessons, we have been shooting the back of our digipak.
We needed a dark room and a black background. Zach's room was in the corner of the house and didn't produce much light, and by using black cloth over the floor meant that it was just what we needed to shoot with. We used a soft box to create a natural light effect.
We lay the crumpled shirt down over the black cloth and rearranged it to look more edgy, making sure that the arm of the shirt was slightly rounded, to fit the crime scene numbers along the side of it.

Finally, we laid out all the numbers around the edge of the shirt, making sure that each number was straight and was the same distance.
After all of the shooting, we realised that it would be better and easier if we just shot the shirt and took pictures of the numbers individually, meaning that we could add them to the photo in PhotoShop.
We took the single shot of the shirt and edited it, to show it in black and white. Over the coming week we will be adding the crime scene numbers onto the original picture by PhotoShop.

Two more shooting slots
Due to the song that we have chosen, and the length of it, it is vital that we 'overshoot'. At the moment, we do not have enough footage from the mirrors sequence to fit in with the music. More shooting is being done on Tuesday 8th December, where we will also be filming a different part of the video.
On Tuesday we will also be filming a 'running scene'. This is the scene in which Connor find out that I've cheated on him, by seeing Zach waiting outside my house. He ends up running off in a mad rage. This scene will take a lot of time to work out and patience, as we are using a segway to film.
Although we have already attempted the murder scene at my house, we are not happy with it, meaning that we are going to re-film, on Monday (9th December) night. Before we do, we are going to try work out how the murder happens. We all have a few ideas of how we would think the murder would happen, and the struggle that I feel beforehand. On Monday during our lesson time, we will draw out a plan of what we would like to happen, meaning that we have something to work with on Monday night.

Creating Crime Scene Evidence Numbers
Over the course of a few days, Zach and myself created crime scene markers to use for our digipak.
We looked around on the internet for pictures of what exactly markers looked like, allowing us to know what we wanted our markers to look like. We created a page for each number and printed them off. After this, we stuck each number onto a piece of canvas paper, then guillotined the numbers down to a smaller size. This smaller size made the markers more realistic.
