Film update

Seen above are pictures of the filming and editing proccess of our film. The image on the left shows hannah editing our film in the edit suite. The middle image depicts our interrogation/kidnap scene. In this seen we see our protagonist (Dan) waking up in a dark room with his hands bound and strapped to the roof rafters.

Also we have held auditions for our narrator for our final scene (pictured below) What we intend to do is to play the audio of the narration before/during the interrogaton/kidnap scene as the protagonist is asking how he ended up in the mess he is in.

Filming 2

Over the holidays we finished off filming the first half of our sequence (the running scene). As we decided that it is not the police who catches our protagonist, but somebody else, we filmed in the daytime because we didn't have to see the lights from a police car. We were not that sure how we wanted the protagonist to be caught, so we decided to just make it seem like he was surrounded, without actualy showing anybody else in the scene. After many reheasals and retakes of the shot, to get the best reaction, our actor ended up running around a corner(towards the camera), slowing down and looking around angrily and annoyed.
For our next scene that we are going to film this friday, a narration takes place to introduce the protagonist. For this we needed somebody with a really good voice that fits the image of the character. And after auditioning a handfull of people, we've found the guy who's voice sounds of a typical teenage boy, almost half heartedly spoken, but also comes across as innocent. We will record this narration on friday as well.

Very good Matt, Hannah - remember to keep blogging on your progress at least once a week! Miss McNulty

You should also add a list of your props and costume needed and discuss the locations for your shoot (include photos if you can.)

Changes 3/4/09

After reviewing our footage and storyboard, we realised that the enigma was not big enough to hook our audience. This meant a total rethink for our story. As our clip is a flash forward, we decided to have narration from our protagonist, questioning how he got there. We also decided to try out freeze frames to go along with it. Following this we have decided to use a rewind of the entire reel, back to the beginning (the present). We have now been out shooting three times. Some footage we have had to reshoot and some we have rejected. However, most of the footage has been used. Hannah's brother used to be in a band 'Threedaysnotice' and allowed us to use one of his non copyright tracks 'Welcome to the UK'. The band are also unsigned. The song sounds quite aggressive, which goes with the emotions of our main protagonist being chased by someone and not wanting to be caught.
