GARAGEBAND

Today we went on Garage Band for the first time and created a nice tune.

Purple Folder sheet uploads - Shot list.

This is our shot list. It is quite short, But this is just our rough outline of our film, and we think certain shots will be longer than what is on the shot list.

Purple Folder sheet uploads - Lighting design sheet and Location sheet.

These sheets show where we plan to film and what lighting we intend to use for a particular scene.

Purple Folder sheet uploads - Health and safety certificate and BBFC information.

This is our health and safety sheet. Also, we researched into BBFC, so we could work out what criteria our film would fall under.

Purple Folder sheet uploads - Title research and horror film intro research.

 We researched introductions to films because we thought this would give us a wider knowledge of what was available to us in our film.

Purple Folder sheet uploads - Storyboard.

 This is our storyboard. We think our film will basically be the same as these storyboards, but we think that we might add things to it, if we think it will make the film better.

Purple Folder sheet uploads - IMDB ratings.

These Ratings helped us decide what target audience we should aim for, as well as giving us a better understanding about them.

Planning completed

Yesterday we gave in our purple folders, and are currently waiting for them back.

Also, In todays media lesson we had the chance to view the current A2 students coursework, which is music videos. We watched them all and now feel that we have a wider knowledge of what looks good and what doesn't in film.

Script.

I have had a problem with printing off the script so here is a copy of it. We will hopefully be able to hand it in on a sheet but just in case we are posting it on here.

BLACK SCREEN.

There is a classic phone ringing as the title ‘ALONE’ appears on the screen.

FADE IN:

INT. LUCY’S BEDROOM - EVENING

LUCY is sat on her bed with a laptop, she reaches over to the desk where the phone that has been ringing since the beginning is placed and answers it.

LUCY

Hello?

INT. HARRY’S BEDROOM - EVENING

HARRY is LUCY’s boyfriend and is on the other end of the phone call. Throughout this sequence we only see close ups of his face.

HARRY

Hey, it’s only me. I know we’ve been arguing a lot recently but I want to make it up to you tonight. Come and stop at mine?

We keep switching between LUCY and HARRY through this whole conversation. LUCY begins to  stroll around and starts looking out of the window, whereas we don’t see what HARRY is up to.

HARRY’S voice is very monotone.

LUCY

You seemed pretty angry, are you sure it’s a good idea?

HARRY

I’m sure. I’ve calmed down now and I just want to spend the night with you! Please come?

LUCY

I don’t know, it’s getting dark outside, maybe I should just come over in the morning.

HARRY

No, I want to make it up to you tonight, it’ll be fine just come round now.

LUCY

Fine, I’ll come, but if you start getting angry again i’m going straight home.

LUCY grabs her ipod and coat and heads to the doorway.

HARRY

I promise everything will be just fine.

HARRY puts the phone down and seems to walk out of a door, but we still see nothing more than his face. 

EXT. LUCY’S HOUSE - EVENING

LUCY slams the door shut whilst wrapping up in her coat and putting her headphones in her ears. We see her walk down a street and approach a gate.

EXT. PARK - EVENING

As LUCY enters the park we see a POV shot from in the trees. The camera is very unsteady. We then switch to a POV from LUCY and we hear her music being loudly played to show she is oblivious to what is going on.

There is more movement in the surroundings and LUCY becomes more aware, removing her headphones and checking that she is alone. We cut to another POV shot further up the path but still in the trees. We can hear heavy breathing.

Again there is rustling in the trees. LUCY glances across to where we think the ‘Stalker’ is, but there is nothing there. The camera cuts back to the POV which is now behind LUCY and quickly approaching her. 

BLACK SCREEN.

LUCY screams.

INT. HARRY’S HOUSE 

There is an extreme close up on HARRY’S eyes. We think he is reacting to the scream we have just heard. But the camera comes out to a long shot to reveal the blood on his hands.

Actor Confirmed.

We have finally managed to get a definite answer from one of our actors! His name is Francesco Pitrolino and is a close friend on Liam. Although it has taken us a while to make sure he can do it, he has commited himself to our project and we are confident he will do a good job.
Here is a picture of him:

Francesco's character will be wearing typical teenage clothing, so we didn't feel the need to do a test shot of him for costume and make-up.

J&L.

Recee

We have finally managed to upload the photos!

These photos are of the house and park that were mentioned on the previous blog entry. As we said, it is pretty well lit but if any more lighting is needed then Liam's house is right next to the park therefore it will be easy to recharge batteries etc.

There shouldn't be any hazards or noises to worry about, but as it is a public park we will have to make sure we use it when there aren't many children around. 

This site is very suitable for our project and it is perfect for the ideas we have put into our storyboard and script.
