Media Activity Three

I have had alot of problems with video Camera, here is the script i was going to use when i filmed my director type commentary.

'The idea behind our company, Bio Films is that the company will create a wide range of different genre films, hence the word bi, meaning two. It also incorporates the idea of bio as a chemical form such as bio degradable, which refers to unpleasant characteristics that are symbolised in the ‘Silent Followings’.
A production company will create and develop a film, such as ours in order to reach a certain target market. An ideal distributor would be a small company such as Warp films, who wouldn’t be the largest distributor but would be more accompanied with low budget films, such as ours.
The money raised for our film could possibly come from the production company, or other forms of fund raising such as backing from a successful distributor.
Other films that maybe released in a similar fashion to ours could be a low budget film such as Napoleon dynamite, were the advertisement for the film is low key due to a small budget and lack of expertise. '

Actors

Picture of Stalker, Ben Summerton, myself.

We have choosen to use me as the stalker due to my figure, being taller then lauren, with a more stocky build and physic. Another thing we took into consideration is my facial hair, we think it will give a good effect on the stalkers age, which will make it suit character more and give a stalker effect.

I am roughly 6ft. Around 12.4 stone

Audience feedback analysis

The genre we all were happy with, as we orginally wanted our film to be a thriller with dark scenes and mystery, we are happy with making the film a thriller.

We were unsure on the target audience so far, but once we all looked at simliar films that would suit our genre we have decided that the film should be mainly aimed at males between the age of 15 to 24 as they are the young adult age range, and are mainly interested i thrillers and action based films.

The potential problems with our film are that the stalker will be hard to recreate, but we have a few ideas from the embeded video on my blog. Aslong as the stalkers identity is kept undercover and hiden the stalker will be effective. We disagree with the CCTV being hard to recreate as we have a real clear idea of where the camera is going to be placed to create the right look and effect that we desire. Although the film will take alot of time to edit, we hope it is going to be worth the time and effort. The storyline is quite sterotypical as its a victime being stalked, but the way we will have flashbacks and small details will make the film less sterotypical and more of a action thriller.

We are all pleased with the postive comments we have achieved and feel that they are the main parts of our storyline and hopefully will all link togther to create a successful film opening.

We have used the advice of delevoping the plot further, such as adding the four scenes of stalking before our orginal killing intense scene. We have thought of a few music ideals, it will have to be quite bassy like a heart breat, but we will have diiferculties finding one with out a copyright issue. The timing will have to be perfect, due to the darkness setting in earlia then normal, we might be able to film darker scenes earlia in the day, which will be convinient.

Shot Diary

Shot Diary


This will help us with are time management, we can use this structure to know where we currently are with progress of filming etc and keep use looking forward and achieve same targets and goals.

Actors

Picture of Victim, Lauren Harrison.

We have choosen lauren as she is quite petite, small and can look very innocent. she can also look very mature which we obviously need as she will be the grand home owner.

Lauren is roughly 5ft 8inch.

The Silent Following PhotoMontage

We have taken pictures to create the scenes and views we want to create, if viewing the Photo Montage use the description we have generated for the thumbnails to make the pictures more clear and easy to follow.

The pictures are of the scenes and angles we want to use and film.

Thumbnails

Our thumbnails are shots that we shall record excaltly, such as a extreme close up of the key hole etc. We shall use the thumbnails whilst recording to keep track of our filiming processes.

We have completed our thumbnails for are film The Silent Following, a few new ideas have been created and have been adapted into the thumbnails, such as a new scene including the trainstation, where the stalker watchs the victim, Lauren, get off a train and leave to her home.

We shall upload the thumbnails soon :)

We have decided to use the Tittle as 'The Silent Following' we all think that this will compliment the film as a stalker and victim killing, but not give it away too clearly from the tittle.

View of 4 Angles on CCTV

CCTV camera angle idea

During are film opening of the stalker vs. victim we want to try to use the point of view of CCTV, this will add a element of unknowning as it will further the unidentified stalker and add types of suspence as they can see the images unveal.

We want the CCTV to be jumpy, as its not high quality CCTV and has gaps and types of glitching so it doesnt run smnoothly which will then add a effect of paranormal activity and mysterious movement.

Film opening Coursework

We have created a thumbnail which is a low detailed storyboard that we will use when we are on location to keep all filming on track. We have now laid out the storyline to our film opening. The opening has two characters, the Stalker and the victim. The victim lives in a large house and has been filmed in secret by the stalker, the stalker has been filming the victims movements, such as going to the shop, walking home etc... The stalker is seemingly spotted in the garden in a series of flashbacks of the victim, then the stalker calls.
