Sometimes when the developers are creating a game they like to add secrets for the player to find. They are usually called Easter eggs. There are games that have become famous for creating Easter eggs like the grand theft auto games. This could be used when doing the game character design we could give them an Easter egg like a reference to another game or film.

This secret location would look good for a short horror film. It makes you wonder what has happened in this place, and it could be used to tell a creepy story of the locations dark past.

Film Noir is used a lot films that are to do with detectives, crime and thrillers. I think its only effective when the film is set in the right time period. I don't think it would work well in an action film unless its showing a flashback.

Another secret is in Call of duty blacks ops where you press certain buttons on the controller while in the main menu and you can break out of the seat that the character is sitting in and move around the room and also go onto a computer which you can type in cheats for the game.

filming

We had to improvise a lot today, We had to use locations that we thought was ok, we didn't really have time to look at the best locations but I think that we used what he had to the best of our abilities. We got quite a lot of shots done today but we have a few left to do next week. We will take time next week to find locations where there is not so many people and cars. We had to be careful in one of our locations because there were cars coming around the corner delaying the filming. We used a street in the lace market, and we used the courtyard. We did the courtyard scene at break so there was a lot of people leaving the college. In the locations we weren't using we were practicing the chase scenes making sure we were ready for when we filmed. We didn't waste any time. It started to rain when we was filming the chase scene, we thought that this would look even better for the footage. There is one shot that we would need to retake but the rest went well, We know what we need to improve on next week so we will be able to go and film quickly.

The good points are that we improvised whereas most people gave up when they were in the same situation, we stayed positive throughout and we got some good shots.

The bad points were that we didn't have enough time in our location we felt rushed, We had bad timing and we have to retake a few shots.
