Possible diagetic sound tracks to use on our piece from Freesound.org, a free download library of music, with no copyrighting limits due to independant artists.

I liked this piece, it fits perfectly with our theme of a predator; it creates an eerie atmosphere that would be good for setting the scene (using aural signifiers related to our genre).

This piece was very short, but for creating a dramatic ending to a piece that would have already created substantial amounts of atmospheric tension it would be perfect.

This sound of breathing that has been distorted would be brilliant for playing underneath another non diegetic track, but alone it is not suitable for supporting such an important scene.
I will continue searching for appropriate music, possibly using other sites or looking for other options regarding copyrighting.

RC - Shooting troubles
Casey and I have experienced quite a few blips in our quest to film. We had arranged that we would film the alley sequence this weekend just gone (06.03.10 - 07.03.10), however, Casey unfortunately came down ill so we were unable to do so. We then arranged for yesterday to film the group sequence but we were let down by a few cast members who were unable to make it. We then rescheduled to film the alley sequence yesterday but yet again we were face with another obstacle due to Casey's camera not working, as we had planned to use her camera throughout. We have now talked to our media studies technician about what to do about Casey's camera and luckily he said that it should be easily fixed, however, we are going to now use the school camera so not to run the risk again.Casey and I will hopefully be filming tonight, in the hope that we will finally have some footage to edit tomorrow! We have also re-arranged our group sequence to be done on thursday and we are making sure this time that everyone does turn up.
So fingers crossed!

CH - Evaluation of our pitch
We presented our pitch to the class, working from the information and research we had collected prior and arranged in a presentation (link to which below). The pitch itself was a success in my opinion, with positive feedback which supported our current research (concerning audience interest and possible topics to follow up further, such as a different project title to our original 'Chase', now 'Drop Dead Gorgeous).
The pitch was nerve wracking, because we had decided that by simply evaluating the information beforehand, we would have enough to present a well thought out and more personal pitch without relying on boring or dull scripts. I felt that this reliance on our public speaking skills alone helped build confidence within our group; we managed to put across our ideas in a manner that seemed to be appreciated, with a more personal edge as we were able to speak more freely one-to-one with the audience, improvising if they began to become uninterested or confused; theoretically speaking, we tried to build our pitch around the audience.
The pitch just ran over the 10 minute time base, including questions that we were able to answer to a suitable degree; the video of which is embedded upon this blog. I think to improve our pitch, we should have spent more time on the aesthetics of the presentation, so as to maximise the overall apperance and proffesionalism. I was concerned with our PP slides becoming too full or childish, so I decided on a minimalistic view; however, a colour scheme or basic design scheme could have been implimented.
Overall, I think that our pitch showed that our idea was well recieved and had enough viable audience research to implement further development.
