Location of villains secret room and risk asessment

  This is where we would like to set the villains secret room. We have chosen this area because it looks very confined and compact which makes our character seem iscolated and this adds a sinister effect to his obsession and actions. We can also control the lighting well in this area to make it suit us. We hope to use very little lighting as we again play with the stereotypical ways of presenting a villain.

 This is an example of the type of lighting we will be filming under. We used a small hand held white light to highlight areas we wanted to film. Using a white light will also make it easy to alter colours using filters in editing software. We want the lighting to be minimal in the villains corner as it will help create the sinister atmosphere we need to create to make this area realted to the villain and relevant to the plot.

 To show how personal this area is to the villain we placed pictures and notes on the wall that were supposedly put up by the villain. This almost labels the area as the villains corner as he has personalised it more.

 On one wall we included photos of clocks and pictures of diagrams of clocks. This highlights his obsession with time and makes it clear to our audience.

 On another wall we had photos of our 'hero' and we made newspaper headlines and attached news paper clippings. This shows his obession with the hero character and this intensifies the scene. Having the clocks on the wall next to him also shows there is some direct link somehow with this character and the time theory. We are trying to make this link quite clear. The images are also supposed to be candid photo's so our character is unaware his photo is being taken and therefor this makes a villain a stalker and makes him more obsessive and quite sinister and weird.

 We have included a scene were the villain goes through a fit of rage as he is frustrated with the fact he cannot control time. We used scrap pieces of paper and clock images to make this scene look effective as he throws the paper off the table. It also makes our villain seem quite smart and organized with all his paper work. There will also be a scene of him flipping the table to reflect his violent rage even more so. This will show in general he has a temper and is capable of violence.

 This is a prop we would like to use in a scene where the villain is holding the clock. This will again show a direct link between him and time and his frustration at the fact that he cannot control or change time.

 This is the small LED white light torch we used. This enable us to posistion the lighting easily and also helps us to use the torch at different angles to create different effects. This light was key to highlighting our character and his little room so we can see important scenes.

Risk asessment

 

For the scenes that we included in the villains secret room precautions had to be made as we were filming in pitch black. Before we started filming we  made sure our filming space was clear and that all the props were all in place so we wasnt messing about in the dark. Because i was incharge of the lighting i had to make sure that the lighting was always focused on the character when film,ing but also on imogen and Aaron after filming so they could get into different positions for the next upcoming scenes and that we could handle props with the lighting. We also has to make sure that there was a clear space for the scene Where Aaron would flip a table. We also made a pre warning to people in the area to stay back and me and imogen was stood behind Aaron as he did the stunt so we wasnt in the way of the table. Overall there was nor real danger and we handled the table scene responsibly and effectively.



Locations of hero's house and props and risk assesment.

In this first image you see the tripod we set up to place the camera onto to give us a level and steady shot when filming this will make our film look more professional and also seem quite real. This also makes it easier for the audience to view as everything is in focus and where it should be.

 

For this picture we placed the camera onto the tripod and this way we are able to show you the veiw of the video camera for oneof our scenes. I like how the mirror shows a slight reflection of the rest of the room as this acts as an establishing shot so we can see more of the setting.

 

This is the wardrobe we used as aaron put away his costume. This is also ghe veiw of one of the scenes were we use a long shot to use an action match of him putting the suit away so you get two perspectives of the scene.

 

This is the wide angle shot done at a slightly high angle were we will have a scene of him putting the costume away. This will enable the viewers to see the costume more clearly.

 

This clock is a prop we used for a scene when the time changes from 7:29 to 7:30. We did this so we add more relevance to the clocks and it will also add dramatic effect and tension to our film.

 

 

These are our characters. Imogen is wearing a dress that we thought would be suitabe and stereotypical for a womans work dress. This shows she is average and also has a normal job. Aaron is in his 'hero' costume which is his white shirt which connotes good purity and also slight innocence all the things a hero character would need to empasise. This also makes him look very intelligant and sophisticated

This is a morph suit we used to reprisent the hero's costume. We used a morph suit because stereotypically hero's wear a type of full body suit suit. This make the suit look more outstanding than a two piece costume and is supposedly more efficiant for the hero. This prop is very important in our scene were he puts it away we also made sure our character handled the suit carefully and stared at it for a few seconds to show him embracing his costume. This shows he has passion for his hero job and takes good care of his costume.


Risk asessment

What we did is made sure that the area we were filming was clear and that there was no chance of our actors being injured by tripping up or so and so. Also we did try and be really careful when handling the costume of the hero as we didnt want to damage it. We also had to be careful with the scene of Aaronh putting the costume away as there was a possibility of costume of setting melfunction.

 

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.

 

 

 

film opening story board

This is a presentation of our general first draft of our story board and what scenes we would like to include in our film opening and at what order. This gives us a general rough idea on how to layout our film and can also give us a sense of time as we can see how many scenes we would like to include and if we can fit them into the time limit we have been given.

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.
