Sarah then walks in late to the slow and loud sound of a clock ticking that matches her footsteps. we then see the girls sat in a class together all talking , and Sarah looking through the door window at them , she follows them and listens in to their convocation.

Scene four 

We see a funeral and Sarah hidden in a bush around the church , dressed in normal clothes showing no respect. while we are shown the funeral we see flash backs of girls in a field and old photos that give us the indication that they used to be friends.



WE shot in the order of ; scene five , scene 4 scene 1 scene 2 scene 3 and then the extras.
This was because a lot of our scenes were based outside and therefore weather dependant. We also had to take into consideration the timetable of the girls , as they had revision and personally matters that may have propound our filming. The "extra bits" were bits that i included to give the opening more narrative enigma and signifiers through the opening they also helped the reader to understand clearly.

Filming Tyrannosaur swede

Wednesday re-shoot of Tyrannosaur

For each scene we had different roles. We had a director, producer (who also produced the call sheet), actors, cinematographers and people to created the story boards and the screenplays. This all came together whilst shooting. The story board and call sheet are created in the order we are going to film the scene in. For all three scenes the story board and call sheets didn't exactly match up due to ad-libbing and some semiotic changes.

First we shot the Bookies scene, where the protagonist comes out of the bookies drunk and looking for his dog 'Fido'.  We changed the name of the dog to Fido because we were shooting a swede and it was supposed to be a comic version. Working title version. We filmed the protagonist coming out of the door of the bookies. Instead of filming at the bookies we filmed outside the school swimming pool. We shot a long shot of the actors coming out of the door. Then had another camera on the actors which was a medium shot. So that we could choose the different shots and which would work better. We then shot 'William' killing the dog. Instead of filing the dog being kicked we filmed from a long shot and 'William' drop kicks the dog and the dog goes flying. We film the dog flying through the air with three different camera shots.

The second shoot that we re-filmed was the funeral scene. Before we filmed the scene in the 'Hobo-centre'. We found some difficulties with this scene due to lighting. The lighting of the scene was quite dark and we found it difficult to choose angle shots that flowed well and got all the actors in. However this time we worked outside. We filmed on grass. The scene was lit up well and we used an establishing shot to get a feel of what was happening. Then moved into a closer shot. Over peoples shoulders and behind the priest (Charles).

The final scene that we shot was the protagonist (William) running into the shop and hiding. In the film Tyrannosaur the protagonist runs into a charity shop and hides behind a clothing rack. Therefore we decided to film the scene in a  mac store. Because we work in a classroom full of macs this is where we set the final scene. We filmed William running in and jumped under the desk full of macs. We again had two cameras therefore when it comes to editing we have choices of cuts and edits. When William was running in we have shots of him running in and we using a low close shot, this was giving him a sense of power. Then the lady who comes up to hum offers him a bottle of champaign instead of a cup of tea. This is again showing us the swede side of our shoot.

Opening: Ident - production Company and titles


Starts with extreme long shot of new house - sign outside "sold" introducing the new girl (protagonist).

(Moves inside house)

Extreme close ups of the females getting ready - don't see all detail E.g Faces

(Showing the contrasting between stereotypical and counter typical females at a high school)
Throughout we are showing the title through props E.g makeup on the mirror - lipstick and cereal.

Film girls walking around the house and out the front door - learns they are neighbours - long shot can see their full body - comparison

Male walks past shouting "hey" at the stereotypical female, the counter typical then thinks he's waving at her - disheartened
