Roles of my group

Luke would be the cinematographer- he is in charge of mise en scene, the look of the set - Lighting, set dressing, props and costuming.

Josh is the sound engineer because he does music tech and therefore is able to make the music for our sequence. This alos means he is in charge of unsuring that the dialogue is clear and recorded and foley work.

I'm the director, i will decide on how everything is filmed and how i wants the action to take place which will create the mood of the piece. I am also in charge of what shots are used and how the camera is moved.

Cesca is the producer. She basically does all the organising and is in charge of the budget and the overall planning. This includes casting, props buying, working out the locations and what shots need to be filmed there on the day, the transport and what, in reality, will work in the sequence.

Shooting List


INT: bright light: Establishing shot the frame slowly turns over her body whilst panning into face. The body is panned on Tarpooling, dead. Hand Held shot suggesting a angel like P.O.V. When cameras on face- its melts into profile picture. Pans out

INT: computer screen: Close up. frame tracks back slowly until full facebook page is shown, wait for one beat. Then continue tracking back revealing the over the shoulder shot
of the man on the computer.

THRILLER- planning the opening sequence



Our chosen idea is called 'Angel Dust'

Distributor:
Magnolia Pictures supported by Brain Damage films

We decided to choose 2 distributors as it means more money for the film and advertising its self, however the down side it, they may take a higher percentage of the profit, plus we would have less control over the film.



Production company:
Awkward Turtle pictures

STORY BOARDING

A STORY BOARD WORKS AS AN ESSENTIAL ORGANISER TO FILM AND A USEFUL TOOL TO PRE-VISUALISING A SEQUENCE OF FOOTAGE. A STORYBOARD MUST ALWAYS HAVE IMAGES AND DESCRIPTIONS, CONSISTING OF: SHOOT LOCATION, ACTION, MOVEMENT/ SHOT OF CAMERA, SOUND, LIGHTING, EDIT TRANSITION AND LENGTH OF TIME FOR SHOT.

TO START THE PROCESS OF STORYBOARDING WE FIRSTLY DECIDED TO START AT THE END OF A DEATH. SO AN ESTABLISHING SHOT OF HER DEAD BODY. WE THEN HAD TO CONSIDER HOW WE WANTED TO PORTRAY THE REST OF THE SEQUENCE.

IT WASNT TO DIFFICULT TO COME UP WITH THE STORY BOARD, THE ONLY THING THAT WE HAD TO TACKLE WAS THE ORDER OF WHICH WE WANTED TO SHOW THE ACTUALLY DRUGGING AND DEATH.
