Latest news from the RatTrap Production team

With our film finished (Or thought to of have been finished) we showed our teacher, who said he was amazed by the story of two things happining at once (Grithiths driving around and carlos walking around to a "meeting place") he said all the angles were alright

The BAD news is, is it had a lot of shakey camera, and needed to use the tripod more, also we needed to pay more attention to the detail such as my bags and blazer being seen. also we needed more story to the film so we decided to add a note to the fake money saying "round 3" to cannote carlos the boxer to go down in the third round.

Also we were told to make the poster more realistic, it says world champion, but then carlos gets a bribe with like 200£ so why would someone throw a fight for that.

To do this, obviously we just countered everything Eg shakey camera, solved with a tripod, Realistic poster with a "regional championship" ETC ETC

Also we the RatTrap Productions have come in to a series of unfortunate events having a mac that doesnt work can be hard, as we cannot edit it, or make music for it when ever we can, we have limited supply with the mac.

More to come from RatTrap Productions.

Tracking Shot Diary

Here is the Tracking Shot Diary

First Draft.

And here is our First Draft.


Test Shots Slide

In this slide this shows us doing some test shots, to gather some tests. It worked a treat in our final film, due to the fact, what we had in mind wasnt really working so we tried something completely different, therefor creating a better scene!

Time Management Slide

This slide is for our times were we all have to meet up, discuss some stuff to do with our sequence, maybe film or maybe do editing, and on the final production, add in the music.

Group Logo Slide

This slideshow, is possibly the one i hate the most, due to my absensce in one lesson, the ONE lesson they decide to do our group photo i was portrayed as a rat, mainly cause our teacher calls me ratty, for god knows what reason. But this was made by Ollie Harkin and Carlos Silva on Ollie Harkins Mac.

Our group name is called "Rat Trap Productions"

Health and Saftey slide

There wasnt much to this slide, mainly because it is filmed in 3 areas that can cause health and saftey issues. They are the Windsor Leisure Centre, The Arches by the Windsor Leisure Centre and the Small walk way by the releif road.


All other shots are filmed within the school changing rooms.

Storyboards Slide

This is a slideshow that portrays out story boards, these were hand drawn and written by Ollie Harkin an Carlos Silva, with Me and Richard giving some ideas.

The Possible Locations Slide

On the 2nd of march, Ollie harkin took the liberty to venture out of school on a lunch break to take some photos of some known locations, we have used some of these such as the underpass, and the front of the leisure centre. They are ideal for our protaganist coming out of the leisure centre.

Positions in the Group

In the group we have certain positions, mine consist of Music as well as Editing.

Richard Tarbox Consists of Ideas and Filming

Ollie Harking Consists of production diarys, Extras that make our blogs that much better, and editing with me

Carlos consists of acting, Ideas, Editing with me, and helping ollie make the production diarys such as the homemade tracking shot, which will be a cherry of a diary to watch.
