Costume Designs



This is the costume for the villain. For this we have gotten our character to wear a balck shirt. This will create an immediate contrast with our hero character and will clearly show the differences between the characters. We are also going to style his hair differently this is again to show a clear and immediate contrast between the two characters and show there are no similarities.
 

This is the costume design for our hero. He is dressed in a white shirt and white is the sign or purity and is often linked to goodness. We are using stereotypes with our heros and villains with the use of our costumes.
 


This is the hero's girlfriend. We wanted her to look average and like a working woman so we got her to wear stereotypical clothing and therefore she doesnt stand out as a character .

Camera angle and editing story board

 
In this scene we see our hero hanging up his costume. For this we want to use a slight high angle so we get a good veiw of the costume and his hands as we are slightly looking over him. This scene will also be a wide angle shot so we see the character and the wardrobe in the scene.
 
 
Match on action will be used as we will se a shot go to the hero putting away the costume. This gives the veiwers two perspectives on his surroundings and adds dramatic affect to him putting his other identy away in a cubbord. This match on action will also make his movement seem fluent and realistic. A quick cut will be used straight to a big close up on a clock this adds significance and relevance to the prop. This will also act as a cut away shot as it is away from what the hero is doing. We then want to use a fade out transistion with some edited effects this will keep our veiwers interested. Another cut away shot will be used to the villain with selected focus on the clock to make this prop stand out and look more important to look at for the viewes. This will then also go from an extreme close up of the clock to a big close up of the villains face this will reflect the slight connection that is shared between this prop and this character. Before this scene stops we want to use the fade out again with some edited effects. The last scene you see in this image is a mid-shot of out hero reading the news paper. This is showing him doing normal everyday life showing the audience that he is leading two lives at the moment. However the cut asway of the villain wilol be the hero character this will intrigue our viewers and may also hint to our plot of him being the villain as well as the hero.
 
 
After seeing the hero going about his normal everyday activities we will then have a cut away shot of the villain doinhg his as he is in a secret room obssing over thye hero. During this scene we will also include camera movement which will be a rolling and a panning shot. This will make out veiwers feel more involved and as we circle the character this will also give the viewers more to see and also act as an establishing shot for the secret room. The next scene is an over the shoulder shot of the villain looking at the images again. The over the shoulder shot will make our audience feel involved and raise curiosity to what he is loooking at. An exstreme close up will then be used to a newspaper clip that says 'Super Hero' this is a clear statement that the villain is obsessed with the hero. A transistion will then be a fade out with some edited effects to give our film a sinister feel to match its sinister plot. The last scene we see in this image is a cut away shot to the hero reading the paper again.
 
 
We then see the cross cut scene of the hero's ''girlfriend''. Giving the character a girlfriend adds normality to his life and also hints at a possible damsel in distress and will again keep our veiwers interested. The scene is then back to the hero reading the newspaper however this time he gets up to say goodbye to his girlfriend. This will lead us to the next scene which is him arranging plans with his girlfriend again highlighting his normal everday life. The last scene we see in this image will be shot reverse shot structure as they have the conversation this allows the audience to moniter facial expressions and see which character is talking when. Over the shoulder shots will also be used to make our audience feel part of the conversation. These shots will be took with close ups so we see the characters faces.
 
 
A medium shot will be used as the girlfriend leaves this will highlight the facts that the hero is now on his own in the house. A big close up is then used to the hero's face so we see his face clearly and hopefully the audience will recognise the face and match his face with that of the villain they saw for a short period of time as a cut away shot earlier in the film. The fade away transistion is then used again with the editing to him walking into the secret room. We then see him again obsessing over photo's of himself.
 
 
 
 
The two top scenes will happening quickly and will be repeated to add dramatic effect and build tension. Also zoom will be used to intensify the scene. A rolling shot and wide angle shot will then be used as we see suddenly the villain loosing control with anger. This will add emotion and action to our film.

sound design

Sound design is the process of specifying, acquiring, manipulating or generating audio elements. It is used in many different industries including film making, television production, theatre, sound recording and reproduction, live performance, sound art, post-production and video game software development. Sound design most commonly involves the manipulation of previously composed or recorded audio, such as music and sound effects. In some instances it may also involve the composition or manipulation of audio to create a desired effect or mood. this is how a film maker could create ambient sound,sound motif and buildup tension and create recognisable moods for the audience. A sound designer is one who practises the art of sound design.

Hans zimmer is a music composer who is famous for his dramatic scores and creating a powerful atmospher. He knows how to present images through sound to a viewer or listener and he is relatively known for his involvment in composing music for Inception,Gladiator and batman which are all action movies.

David Lynch- 'Films are 50 percent visual and 50 percent sound.Sometimes sound even overplays the visual'

CHUD.com

 
 
The website CHUD.com advertises reviews and new films. They also have the latest news on the latest films and this can help attracts veiwers for both their website and the film as they produce detailed reveiws. I think this websitre also looks very modern recent and quirky and this will also attract viewers.
