Planning: Shot Types

Planning: The Storyboard

The making of the storyboard, at first everyone in our film production team drew the scenes, however my fellow team member found a website called, "Storyboard That" which created a virtual storyboard.  The story board enabled us to see the layout of film clearly and therefore we knew what we doing in each scene when it came to filming, especially the virtual characters show a visually clear emotion and when acting the character I was able to know what emotions to express on camera.

Lighting Exercise

Planning: Lighting Exercise 

In preparation for the task of filming, we decided to do a lighting exercise which allowed us to experiment with different lighting for our film to obtain either spooky or distorted face which will allow us to see what kind of atmosphere we are aiming for in our film and what the lighting reflections convey on the characters emotion.   

Reasons why lighting is needed in video production

• Lighting will determine the mood of the video

While watching a horror film, you will notice parts of the film the lighting will be very dark at one point, to which this emphasizes the tension and suspense in the film.The lighting in films, adverts or online content will play a huge part in the atmosphere to either create suspense, happiness or even sadness, which is why we experimented with lighting as for our film it shows aspect of horror.   

• Poor Lighting= more time in the editing room 

The lighting must be perfect in order to create the right shot and that it appears clear onto the screens for when people are viewing the content. Which is why you must always have good lighting as it will involve having to re-shoot the scene which will cost more money again.  

• Light determines the quality of your project                                                                                          

The greatest films will have the best quality of lighting which is one of reasons why the film was a big success, however they will have the money to use the best lighting whereas independent companies will not always have as much money to be able to use the best lighting. One technique that is known by most people in film production is three point lighting, which is the most versatile lighting techniques and makes a huge difference in your production.

Three Point Lighting:  

• ·         Key Light:

This is the main light of the three, it’s placed to the side of the camera and is the main light that helps the subject of the film or video  

• ·        Fill Light:

This is the secondary light and always placed on the opposite side from the key light, which helps fill shadows casted by the key light.  

• ·        Back Light:

The back light is placed on the back of the subject you are shooting. It allows to distinguish the subject from the background of the scene and create a three- dimensional look on camera

        

Top Line and Big Question

Research

Before coming up with initial ideas we looked at a few thriller movies, which could inspire our own opening scene. One of which was "You get me" a Netflix original production. In this movie, the audience follows a  teenage girl who has severe mental issues and developed an obsession for a guy.  The culprit in our movie is inspired by the main character from "You get me" as we want to use the destabilized and fragmented mind of the character to develop a sinister frame of mind.


Top line

When Eve, a teenager, loses her mother, she lashes out at her friends for being unsupported. Eve is prescribed opioids to help her cope but soon becomes addicted. Confiding in her online blog, she reveals her inner rage as she nurses disturbing vindictive tendencies and confides in her only remaining friend, her doll, Elizabeth

The Big Question

How much longer will the opioids be of any use to Eve's mental state 

Treatment

The psychological thriller begins with a party scene which shows the main character Eve having 'the time of her life'. We see her at her peak. She is socializing, laughing and having fun. This is captured by focusing on her dancing. This introduction to the character gives the audience slight insight into the character's life.

One year later, we find the character Eve, accompanied with her beloved doll revisiting  her emotive scars of the past and slowly spiraling towards anger and hatred until she finally cracks
