Filming

We have arranged to film on Sunday the 3rd of February at Rowena's house in Cambridge. The set of the sequence is to be in her bathroom, also followed by some filming down her stairs, and some shots from other parts of her house.

We are planning to create a mess in her bathroom, by putting red 'fake blood' all over her white tiles. We are looking for the spooky and creepy effect, creating thrills!

We will use other 'weapons' and such to create a creepy location, there will also be some white towels over floors and places, with 'blood' stains, caused by food colouring.

Our Anamatic

This is our animatic for our thriller sequence. The pictures are in order for how we would like our sequence to turn out. The effects added will help us to decide how to go from one scene to another, and the camera shots will show what we hope to achieve when filming.
We have also added the music, we have edited the music so that it fits with the scene and this is what we will do with our final piece.

Animatics

In today's lesson, we have finished our animatic and have added a few transitions to make it seem more realistic. We are also going to be putting the backing track with it, which we have made on Garageband. This has helped us to use animatics on the final cut, so it will be helpful for our final project.

Further planning

We finalized our storyboard and shot list. So we are prepared for when we start filming. The shots are jut a guideline, so we have other ideas of shots we can shoot so we can experiment with the story line so either change or add to it.
We also outlined pictures so when we take photos of the shot they will be more bold and to stand out more for when we animate it later on. We took photos of each individual shot to animate the story of our opening so we can then bring our story to life.

Real thriller

We thought the opening of Saw would be useful because it is also in the same setting, a bathroom. We thought this would be good because we could see how they had created a creepy bathroom and the effects they had used.

Developing Ideas

This lesson we thought more about props, costumes and locations. we decided to film, in a bathroom (rowena's). we chose this location because we wanted a black and white location, as we wanted to film in a negative colours as it would give a creepier affect.
Costumes: Girl in bath - normal cohoes (jeans and top)
Girl in reflection - also normal (jeans and top)
Props: Blood
Water
Towels
Mirror

Storyboard thriller

Today we started our storyboard and have done the first 5 shots for our thriller piece and we are now clearer on what the beginning shots will be.
have thought about a few props and costumes but will work on them when we have finished the story boarding. Doing story boarding has held us think about extra shots and how we will film.

FIRST IDEAS

When brainstorming our ideas we have come up with a starting point.
the name of our project is to be called 'REFLECTION'.
the main plot of the opening sequence is for a girl to gasp from the water in the bath and be in a dark spooky bathroom, with blood on the tiles, and steam streaks on the mirror, etc.
when she walks past a mirror, another persons reflection will show. This is trying to show that she is a schizophrenic person, with 2 people inside her.
she will stumble down the stairs, walking past blood stains, and mess, wondering where she is, and then the finish shot will be her looking into the mirror with the other persons reflection staring back at her, then it all stops, with a fade out of noise and shot, followed by a huge crash of music, with the title appears REFLECTION. dunddunddaaa
we are hoping for it to be in black and white, with red hand prints of blood, and a colour reflection in the mirror. we will have to use special effects when editing to make this possible.

Welcome

The sequence starts of quietly and slowly. The opening shots are of a bathtub with what appears to be blood floating around inside. Following this there are various fast paced shots of the presumed victim. They are extreme close-ups so that a certain air of mystery surrounds it. Also these type of close-ups display intense emotion. Sometimes it it not clear exactly what the shot is of.
The attacker is introduced, though not much about him is known. He wears a mask and pounces from behind. There is a struggle and at some point in the sequence blood is spilt.
The music builds slowly encouraging tension and fitting in well with the sequence.
