By watching the openings of these three films and viewing the credits, I have learnt many new things which will help me and my group when doing our owm credits for our opening. I have learnt that, the production companies are always showed at the very begginning, the credits can be shown on top of the images or on a blank screen and finally the title can be shown at the beginning, in the middle or at the end of the credits.

Today we narrowed our search for our main character. We ended up with three girls, Emilie, Shannon and Eloise. We then went through the advantages and disadvantages of each girl.
Eloise Hewitt
Advantages: She also, like Emilie loves to act whenever she can!
Disadvantages: She doesnt really have anyfree time so we would have to work our way around her and when she is free.Shannon Slow
Advantages: Like our other two candidates, Shannon also enjoys acting. She also like Emilie, took drama as a GCSE.
Disadvantages: Shannon goes to college during the week, so we would have to do our work with her on the weekends which would be difficult as will have to arrange far ahead when we would be doing the acting with her.
After discussing and going through each of the candidates, we have decided that we aregoing to choose Emilie for our main actor.

Harriet's bedroom and house/window:
Advantages: The advantages of the room is that it is quite spacey which would be helpful when filming as it wouldnt be too crowded. Also the room is decorated for an adolescent person therefore we wouldnt have to change much when filming.
The advntages of the house is that it is on quite a quite street and it will be easy to use a variety of camera anges and shots.
Disadvantages: Although it is decorated quite adolscent it may need a few things adding, for example a few posters and photos.
The disadvantages of this house is that it is attached to another house therefore we will have to be careful when filming that we film only this house and not inlcude shots of the other house
Taylor's bedroom and house/window:
Advantages: The advantages with this room is that it is the biggest room out of the three which would benefit us when filming as we would be able to move around easily. Also it is quite a sophisticated bedroom and would easily represent a teenagers bedroom.
Advantages: It contains everything a teenage girl would have in their room, for example posters, calenders, photos etc. This will be ideal as we wouldnt need to add many props to complete our set.
Disadvantages: It is the smallest of all rooms therefore this would make it more difficult to film.
After looking and considering each bedroom, as a group we came to the conclusion that we are going to use Taylor's bedroom because we feel it would be the best as it is fairly close, a good size with lots of space and with the addition of a few props it could look like an ideal bedroom for a teenager aged 18.
