ALL - Podcast Number 3: Feedback

This is our third podcast which is about the feedback we have recieved from our footage and company idents and what we have done to make changes to them.

RS - Company Ident Feedback

I uploaded our Ident Draft to Youtube and then onto Facebook to get some feedback on it. After reading the comments we have decided to have a brainstorm of fonts and to try and choose the one that we think works the best. I will then re-upload the draft with the new font and post to Facebook again to see if it gets the same/similar comments or if their opinion has changed. We will also think about making different to the Doctor Who opening so it will make our Ident unique.

SP - Second Company Ident

Here is the second of our Distribution Company Ident "Rasam Productions". I created this using the Mac computers at school on software called Livetype and then sound was added using Imovie. I added a few sound effects to the Ident to make it a bit more interesting and to fit in with the text moving towards the screen.

SP - First Company Ident

Here is the first draft of our Distribution Company Ident "Rasam Productions". I created this using the Mac computers at school on software called Livetype. However it is only our first draft so it has not got any sound on it yet.

RS - Rough Cut Feedback

Here is evidence of feedback we recieved on the Rough Cut. I uploaded the rough cut to Youtube and then to Facebook for feedback on it. After discussing the feedback we have decided to re-take a few shots, such as making sure the car is still in the drive at the end of the film! (we moved the car after a while and didn't remember to move it back). Re-take the shot when the girl turns around to find her boyfriend because of the lighting not being good enough. Create some coverage by taking a CU of the article in the newspaper therefore the audience know why the man has gone to the house in the first place (we got feedback saying it was unclear why he had gone). And we will consider slowing the footage down slightly because Olivia's (the girl in the film) movements seemed slower than the males in the footage so it seemed a little odd. We would have to consider how much time we have left for the 2:30 limit and come up with a solution.

ALL - Rough Cut

Here is a rough cut of our coursework idea. We have not added sound effects or the soundtrack yet so it is not quite finished. I have just uploaded the clip to Youtube and then Facebook so we can recieve feedback on it. We have already noticed a few floors to the footage like some of the lighting in some shots is not ideal, the shot/reverse shot is not quite right and a couple of shots are too shakey and they require a tripod instead. We will be re-shooting a few shots later in the week to solve this issue. 

RS - Uploaded Footage

Today we have uploaded all the final coursework footage onto the Mac at school and have begun to edit a rough cut of our film. We have nearly got half way through editing it so we shall expect to see a rough cut finished in the next couple of days. Once we have a rough cut we shall get a full quality version of it and pass it over to our Media Teacher via memory stick and then he will then screen the footage to the rest of the class for feedback on it. I will then make a web quality version of it so I can upload it to my youtube channel and then onto my Facebook profile for further feedback. Once we recieve feedback on the rough cut we shall make any changes necessary to the footage and reflect on the film so far.

ALL - Behind The Scenes of Filming

Here are some videos Rob recorded whilst I was acting and Asa was filming showing the location and a brief explanation of what we where doing at the time.

This video is filmed in the mans house for the first couple of shots when he is looking for a new car in a newspaper




This video is filmed in the girls front room for the shots when the man is waiting for her to come back downstairs but instead decides to go look for her




This video is filmed in the room that the man thought the girl had gone into and where he looks in some drawers when the girl kills the man

ALL - Filming Completed

We have finished our filming of the "Test Drive" two minute opening for our coursework today and we will begin to edit our footage tomorrow. During next week we will also be brainstorming soundtrack ideas and looking at different sound effects to go with certain scenes in the film.

This is a picture Rob took when we were filming the scenes of the man in his house looking in the newspaper for a new car

This is a picture Rob took whilst Asa (Cinematographer) was filming Sam (Director + Actor) putting his shoes on for one of the scenes in our film

This is a picture Rob took when we were filming the scene when the girl was on her phone to her boyfriend

This is a picture Rob took when we where filming the man walking up the stairs to find the girl

RS - Filming Tomorrow

Our group will be filming our final coursework idea tomorrow. We will be filming at Robs house (for the first location) in Robs family car (for the second location) and in Robs next door neighbours house (for the remainder of the film). When I am not acting in the film I will be filming Asa, who will be filming our film. This will be to give evidence that he has filmed it. I will also show the location we will be using and giving a little talk about which stage we are at of the filming etc. It can also be used to evidence roles within the group such as the director, cinematographer and producer.

RS - Script Draft

This is the draft of the script for our coursework. Bare in mind it could change due to us doing alot of coverage on the day of the filming (tomorrow) so expect to see an updated version in the days to come

Script Draft     

RS - Soundtrack Ideas

As a group we are currently brainstorming ideas to be used for our soundtrack. We will use GarageBand on the Macs at school to create our soundtrack. We are thinking of having long keyboard notes and we will try and make it similar to Halloween and Nightmare on Elm Street because the soundtracks aren't very complex and they both create suspense and make your heart beat change due to the tension.

AN - Final Coursework Call Sheet

SP - Final Coursework Idea

We have mainly only made changes to the end of our opening

A man is looking for a car in a newspaper  

When he finds one he circles the address and details of the people who are selling it
Then rips out the page and travels to the house by car.
Meanwhile a teenage girl home alone and she is talking to her boyfriend on her phone when she hears a knock at the door.
After a brief conversation she invites him in and then goes up stairs to get changed.
The mysterious man follows her upstairs and walks into a room he thought she went in only to find no one there.
He looks around the room and in a chest of drawers

As he opens the draw we see a hooded figure standing behind him 

POV shot of the murderer with the knife and stabbing his victim
The camera cuts to outside when we hear a girl screaming.
It then cuts again inside the house where there is a hand on the girls shoulder and when she turns around it is her boyfriend.

After a conversation they decide to go upstairs to the bedroom

We see a shot of the "dead" man lying on the floor and background noise of the pair running up the stairs

Extreme close up of the "dead" mans eyes opening 

The last shot is the man who was suppose to be dead sitting up when the scrren blacks out

ALL - Final Coursework Storyboard

Story boards   

RS - Target Audience

Our aim is to make our film a rating of 15 (BBFC Rating). The reasoning for this is because of the actors ages, sexual references, strong language and bloody violence. However we don't see the man getting stabbed therefore it is not as violent as an 18 rating film. The girl is wearing revealing clothes which backs up the reasoning behind the 15 rating. We expect the majority of the audience to be male, because of the sexual themes in it but also the ammount of gore.

We know that there is an audience available for this genre because we have seen the success of films such as Halloween (John Carpenter, 1978). Scream (Wes Craven, 1996). And Nightmare on Elm Street (Wes Craven, 1984). Using these three as examples we know that our film fits into this genre and has a similar audience to these teenagers from around 15-25, both male and female.

RS - Company Idents

We have come up with the name of "Rasam Productions" which is a mixture of all three of our names (Rob, Asa, Sam).  We have also come up with the name "Full Throttle Entertainment" which is our ditribution company ident to go with our prodction ident. We looked on IMDB to make sure it could be used without copyright issues. We thought these were the best of the small number we came up with.

ALL - Updated Sample Footage and Feedback

Click on the picture below to see evidence of feedback on our second sample footage. Rob Shaw posted the sample footage on Facebook so we could get peoples opinions/feedback given to us in a comment below the video. We will use this feedback to improve our film.

ALL - Updated Working Title

After a discussion we have made the decision to change our working title to "Test Drive" the reason for this was because of the changes in our story, and the previous working title therefore would not fit with the title. However this is a working title so it could change in the near future.

ALL - Podcast Number 2: Updated Courswork Idea

ALL - Vodcast 2: How Did Our Research

In this vodcast we discussed all the different ways in which we carried out our research, such as watching and deconstructing up to 20 horror film openings, reading up on the horror genre as a whole using books from class, looking at blogs on the internet from last years students and our media teacher and finally researching female killers on the internet

ALL - Vodcast 1: Useful Film Techniques

This is our first vodcast we discussed the films that were most useful for our film opening and talked about the techniques/ideas we got from watching and deconstructing film openings but also the films that showed us what not to do

RS - Female Killers

This is some  research I have done on the internet. In horror movies, female killers  are extremely rare but here are three of the best and most diverse  female horror villains...

Friday the 13th : Mrs. Voorhees (Betsy Palmer)

Scream 2 : Mrs. Loomis (Laurie Metcalf)

Bride Of Chucky : Tiffany

The Ring :  Samara (Daveigh Chase)

ALL - Updated Coursework Idea and Working Title

The Boot

We had to make a couple of changes to our coursework idea such as : 

• We had to change the location because we were unable to film at  our  first  choice, therefore it is a better option to change the reason  he  is  going to this house. 
• Previously he was going to apply for a job as a Groundsman but now  he   is trying to find a new car and has found one in the newspaper so  he   goes to the house to have a look.

ALL - Deconstruction Round-Up

After watching our 20 film openings we have pulled a range of ideas from several different films together, we have put together The Top 5 best ideas we have picked up:

1. POV shot used from the original Halloween (John Carpenter, 1978): This is the shot when Michael is a child and goes into the house to kill his older sister. We see the knife in the foreground and the girl in the background about to be stabbed by him. We have chosen this because imagination is better than what we can record because of our budget. POV shots also make the film more immersive and draw you in more.

2. The Narrative Enigma used at the beginning of Nightmare on Elm Street (Wes Craven, 1984). This sequence of shots is amazing for us, when Freddy is constructing his glove contraption, we don't see above his shoulders once which is the idea we implemented into our film opening. Using this technique we can conceal the mans identity, this will make the audience think he is the killer when infact he isn't.

3. The False Scare after the opening of Scream (Wes Craven, 1996) The Jock boyfriend, makes his girlfriend jump by putting his hand on her shoulder, the audience think that it is the killers hand on her shoulder but it is his instead, a useful twist.

4. The Mise en Scene in the opening of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Tobe Hooper, 1974). This uses it to a good extent, it makes you wonder what has happened to the corpse and also what the flashing in the back ground.

5. Dutch Angles used in the opening of My Bloody Valentine (George Mihalka, 1981). The whole aspect of not knowing who the people are, mixed with the narrative enigma of not being able to see their faces makes this opening very successful. 

RS - Sample Opening: Silent Hill

Silent Hill (Christophe Gans, 2006)
Budget : $50 000 000
US Box Office : $45 000 000
UK Box Office : £4 000 000
The film is based on the highly sucessful game franchise

Starts off with a woman in her pyjamas shouting for Sharon, and makes the audience believe it is her daughter (polysemic)
Very dark scene, outside the family house
A man appears behind her on a balcony shouting for Sharon too, we expect him to be her dad
Woman runs around and finds a teddy bear on the floor and lifts it up to her face to inspect it, we guess it belongs to Sharon, she also shouts for her again and runs off
They both continue to run and look for her in the woods and surrounding area
Diagetic sound of crickets and insects in the wood
The woman runs under a bridge with diagetic sound of cars going past above her
Cut shot of the cars wheels above and then a CU of the womans face, she realises the danger above and shouts louder, running once again
Camera pans to a cliffs edge in which the woman runs towards and she looks down to a huge chasm, shouting once again to see if she has fallen
She finally notices Sharon above her to the side in some kind of trance or possessed. Her eyes are black, it looks as though the devil or some creature is inside her
Sharon sees something in the chasm and the camera moves down into it showing some weird CG effects and then moves back to Sharon who has now dropped to the floor in pain, screaming
She screams "Silent hill!"
The parents finally reach her and hold her in their arms trying to comfort her saying "we are here now" "it will be okay" "you will be fine now" before finally zooming out and "Silent Hill" is on the screen signifying the end of the opening

RS - Sample Opening: IT

Stephen Kings It (Tommy Lee Wallace, 1990)
Budget : Not Available
Box Office : Not Available

Begins with an old theater, with the writing all wonky perhaps forshadowing something
Lightning in the background signifying a storm coming for foreshadowing things to happen
Clothes on washing line blowing in the wind of the storm coming
CU of cups/pots full of water and rain pouring into them
Girl on her tricycle peddling down the road and singing "incy wincy spider" which is ironic because the clown in the film lives in a drain
Her mother is taking the washing down and brining it inside, she sees her daughter and asks her to hurry because of the storm
The girl walks towards the front door but sees her doll in the middle of the path up to the door and stops to pick it up
She looks at it, but then hears laughing from behind the washing line, she stops and looks over to see the clown looking right at her.
The clown moves in for the kill
The mother walks out the door to get more washing to find her daughter has gone missing
The tricycle is just left on the path and she lets out a big scream ending the scene

RS - Sample Opening: My Blooded Valentine

My Bloody Valentine (George Mihalka, 1981)
Budget : $2 000 000

Box Office : Not Available
Remake released in 2009


First shot is at a dutch angle and the two people in the shot are wearing helmets for narrative enigma so we don't know who they are.
The two people are both holding picaxes foreshadowing things to come
Both fully clothed and nothing is exposed
The next few shots are all using dutch angle
Non-diagetic sound is used in the soundtrack because you can't see it in the film.
Diagetic sound is also used when one of the people move the objects in the way of the path, they make a noise replicating the movement. You can also hear the people breathing in their masks
They both stop next to a wall and one of the two begins to look around and see if anyone is watching them, foreshadowing actions to happen.
The other person is undressing, revealing a red heart tatoo above her breasts, again foreshadowing blood, death and also romance.
The person takes off her helmet revealing a typical "scream queen" stereotype underneath, we expect her to be killed because of this, and the fact she is sexually active with only her bra on.
The other person gets close the woman and then slams his picaxe into the wall behind her, at first it looks as though it is going to hit her. This is just a false scare.
The woman then starts un dressing the man, reiterating the face that she is sexually active
We begin to hear a heart beat getting louder and louder as the two people rub each other and feel each other
The other persons helmet stays on, and theres an ECU of the womans tatoo and his hands shaking next to it, signifying he is going mental because of her and the tatoo
The other person then rams the woman into the picaxe that had been in the wall behind her, in anger. 

AN - Sample Opening: Halloween Remake

Halloween (Rob Zombie, 2007)
Budget : $15 000 000
US Box Office : $58 000 000
Remake of the 1978 classic

White sans serif font is used for the opening title along with a black background.
A quote then appears by Dr Loomis which says "The darkest souls are not those which choose to exist within the hell of the abyss, but those which choose to break free from the abyss and move silently among us."
A child's voice can be heard in the background along with a distorted noise and this could symbolise the death of innocence.
Close up of young Michael picking up a rat.
Shot reverse shot used for the arguement between Michael's parents.
The baby's crying symbolises the pain between the couple.
Shakey camera used for most of the shots which for our oppositional reading is unnecessary 

SP - Sample Opening: A Nightmare On Elm Street

A Nightmare On Elm Street (Wes Craven, 1984)
Budget: $1.8 000 000
US Box Office: $11 000 000
UK Box Office: Not Available

Low angle / Close Up of feet and we don't see the mans face so its a use of narrative enigma
High angle of man putting knives on table but only hands are shown
The man is wearing a red sweater signifying blood, death and danger
Close up of a hand picking up gloves
Close up of man cutting object still with narrative enigma and could be foreshadowing things to happen in the future
Close up of man hammering knife/glove contraption (the object Freddie wears on his hands)
Close up of filing down knife contraption
Close up of man using blow torch on the contraption which signifies he is a skiller craftsman
Extreme close up of him sliding the glove contraption onto his hands
Close up of him looking at his hand and weilding the knifes on it. 
The shots are also very quick and don't last longer than a second or two.
Non-diagetic sounds which include very long keyboard notes 

AN - Sample Opening: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Tobe Hooper, 1974)
Budget : $80 000

US Box Office : $30 000 000

Time period is anchored with text at the beginning 

Black and white background signifes evil and good but also there is alot more evil than good. It also signifies the film is going to be serious
Non-diagetic sound in background but nothing is on the screen just black which is narrative enigma
Flash of decomposed hand but only on screen for half a second
Flash of decomposed face
Flash of decomposed feet
All the flashes could signifies CSI so something has happened to the bodies and the police want to find out about
Flash of decomposed head
The music coincides with the flashes and it adds tension
Flash of hands again
Flash of teeth and then decomposed face

Camera slowly zooms out to reveal a body tied to a tombstone in a graveyard

AN - Sample Opening: Cry Wolf

Cry Wolf (Jeff Wadlow, 2005)
Budget : $1 000 000
US Box Office : $10000
UK Box Office : £190 000

Narrative enigma of the killer as there is a lack of lighting.
Phone symbolises the time period and it also provides a small ammount of light for the girl
Point of view shots are used when the killer is chasing the girl during the opening.
A white flash transition is used in the opening to move onto the next scene.
A gun shot can be heard during the transition and this signifies what the killer's weapon of choice is.
High angle panning of a red forest is used to signify the season the film takes place in.
The wolf in the lying game could hint at a possible killer.
The killer's face is hidden via a mask so this is narrative enigma.
Cry Wolf has similarities with The Boy Who Cried Wolf. 

 

RS - Sample Opening: Friday The 13th

Friday the 13th (Marcus Nispel, 2009)
Budget : $19 000 000
US Box Office : $65 000 000
UK Box Office : £2 000 000

Remake of the 1980 film

Second shot anchors the location as there is a sign with "Camp Crystal Lake" written on it
Woman screaming in pain/fear signifies the hprror genre
Very dark shots with rain and lightning in the background so you only see things for a very short period 

Meanwhile the credits pop up every few seconds so the shots are very short and this is typical for the genre
Jasons mother gets be-headed foreshadowing things to happen later on
Typical scream queen is weilding a machette and be-heads Mrs Voorhees
Time period is anchored by text at the bottom of the screen 

A transition is used to signify the scene changing along with text to acompany it and tell the next time period
Black and white effects have been used to show its a flashback
The womans head on the floor anchors the genre of the film and this is the reasoning for why Jason goes on the rampage. It can be foreshadowed when he looks down at his mother or watches her get beheaded.
The necklace he picks up is a family heirloom which is important later in the film.
The mother saying "Jason our special boy" can anchor on who the boy is

Extreme long shot of a dark room with someone tied up 

Mid shot as the camera pans over one side of the persons body and we see he has a series of tatoos on his chest

Man suddenly awakes and thre is a close up of him to show his emotion of finding himself unable to move.

Lights come on to add anchorage of the setting

Budget : Not Available 

Box Office : Not Available

Music is very slow and childlike at the start which links in to the film name 
Close up and fuzzy effect of an unknown object which is polysemic 
Low angle/close up of someones legs wearing black trousers which is narrative enigma as we nevver see his face but also he is the killer
Unknow object turns out to be a girl tied up
Close up of a box of tools on a desk which signifies a weapon could be used from that toolbox 
Extreme close up of the womens face and it shows her eyes which shows emotion because she is crying
High angle of the desk again but htis time there are a series of knives lined up 
High angle of the women tied up and the camera slowly pans over her body where we find she is only wearing her underwear but she also has lines drawn all over her which could connote that the killer could be about to disect her body

The music at this point is really loud and intense to create fear in the audience 
The last shot we see is the hammer in mid air and a sound affect to signify that the girl is dead
We dont actually see the killing as our immagination is better than anything they could film 
The musoc stops and the camera goes black
