Feedback From Rough Cut

We got feedback from other class members for our rough cut film. one of the feedback we got was to darken down the forest scene as it was too bright and didn't look mysterious and fit in with the rest of the footage. Also we need to put in the credits at the start as it is unaware of who the characters are and who edited it etc. We also have to include the sound in our film, we will have a mixture of diegetic,and non diegetic sound. This should give our film a dark atmosphere,which is an element that is lacking from our film.without the music included. Blue filters are yet to be added to the flashbacks which will add to the look of the film and make it overall look better the blue filters will also make it look more mysterious and give it the edge of a thriller. We haven't finished all of the flashbacks yet as there is a lot to do and we want to make them flow and that takes time. The better the flashbacks are the more effective are film will become. We will splice together footage of Tim's eyes during the sink scenes. This will hopefully make the film more sinister and give our killer a face.

Filming

Today we tried to film, our final version, we have overcome lighting issues, and have settled with minimal lighting to give, it an ominous feel. We also experimented with various blood splatters and how much blood we used. Overall the filming went wll and we have some potential final footage, that we can use.

Pitch For Our Film

This clip is a prime example of the sporadic and disjointed cuts we intend to you BAM in our crime,thriller opening sequence.

Narrative Ideas: starts of with a close up of sink with blood running down the plug hole,zooms out to man covered in shadow and washing the blood of his hands. Flash back to the previous incident. Flashbacks of incidents throughout the film. credits come up over the top of the film. lots of sporadic and disjointed cuts to keep the action and intensity up. the camera then turns on the face of the killer and he has his hood up with 3/4 of the face in shadow. the film keeps flashing back to the dead person on the floor and a the killer injecting himself with a unknown substance (heroine). whilst the camera is on his face he is heavy breathing and he is sweating.

Character/Actor Ideas: The killer is a shifty character that looks edgy. he has short stubble and is skinny. plain clothed and pretty simple. The person that gets murdered is a young blond/ginger girl. she is a normal girl that is horrifically murdered.

Location: first part in some sort of bathroom/kitchen.rest in some sort of house with normal rooms. maybe murder in a ally or walk way in town.

Certificate: the certificate will be as 15, the reason for this will be because of some scenes that contain mild violence and blood and may be slightly scary.

Sub Genre: the sub genre is crime thriller. look on other posts.

Style of the titles will be flashing and fading in and out, like flashing words.

sound: eerie,dark and slow paced
