With our production name being Secret Productions, we have come up with the idea of our ident being someone saying sshhh. We have come up with a rough copy of the design and would like it to be a picture of someone with there figure on their mouth, to represent the image of Sshhhh, but out image will be blacked out, so you cannot see the face and all you can see is the finger , with the line Sshhhh. We chose our design to be like this so it ties in with the Secret Production and gives off the mysterious feeling. We are going to film and record someone saying Sshhhh, but black out the image, so it concentrates more on the lips and the finger.
We are hoping for it to look something like this but more blacked out, so you cannot see the face :
When looking back over our footage, we have realised that our film is more like a scene from a film rather than a two minuet opening, so we are planning to make a new story board and film some of the scenes again during next week. We have decided to begin with a flashback of a slasher and go into the present day for the rest of the opening. We will still be using the same characters, and using the the clothes as a signifier in our film.
We have booked a camera for next wednesday, then we will continue with our editing.
Today we have filmed what we hope to be our final filming for our coursework. We have used a variety of shots whilst filming such as pan shot, close ups, low angles and high angles ( we used high and low angle to identify the power and vulnerability shift between the main boy and girl characters) , two shots, and mid shots. Our filming took us appropriately 3 hours, we are hoping to begin editing by tomorrow. Even though we began filming at about 5.30 the lighting was just as we wanted it, with a mysterious feel because we didn't want it to be too light because of the storyline. Overall our night of filming has gone to plan and we are very happy with the progress of filming we have made so far, however we still need to think about the music we are going to use to add effect, and our filming was over 2minuets long so we need to cut some things out or make the editing cuts faster to make it fit the criteria of time, but we hopefully aim to have our editing done in the next couple of weeks, and completing and uploading our next podcast this week, to inform you more on our progress.
For our characters we are basing them on the characters from Freddie Vs Jason. Our final girl Lucy is going to be played by Rachel Harrison, who with a contrast is a blond, we have changed the stereotypical blond, scream queen image to our final girl. Our other two characters who are friends of Lucys, Amber and Kirsty will be played by Melodie Ambraham and Annie Cutillo, they will be tied up together in the garage, to make it look like they have been kidnapped and beaten. Our lead boy will be played by Tyrone Abraham, he will be the ' stalker' who is obsessive with Rachels character Lucy, the boy that throughout the film Lucy is trying so hard to escape, who has kidnapped her friends and tied them up.
The clothes worn by Annie and Mel are going to be dresses and heels, but the dresses are going to look ripped and torn down, asif they have been out the night before and beaten down.
Rachel is going to be in casual clothes, for example jeans and uggs and Tyrone more a less the same.
Below are pictures of our 3 main girls:
