Opening Scene

Opening Scene

Brief summary of opening scene idea;

The opening of the scene will be a flash-forward to the end of the film (cyclic structure) as it will hook the audience and question what has happened.

The first thing the audience will see is the footsteps of the killer walking into a police interview room. It will pan up the back of his legs to reveal the handcuffs tied around his hands. The noise of the footsteps will be the only noise heard they would be very loud and counteract any other sound. Next will be the girl’s footstep that is also going into a room to be interviewed. Her footsteps will be light and silent, as it pans up her body her hands are shaking and cuts on her arm are revealed. This will be shot very slowly to create tension. These two shots will be cross-cut as they will flick back and forward every couple of seconds.

As the door opens for both of them the girl goes and sits down in one room to be interviewed whereas in another room the killer has his handcuffs taken off and he sits down and gets interviewed.

In our opening scene there will be barely and dialogue just the sounds of the handcuffs being taken off, the footsteps ECT…

Throughout the next minute or so the shots will flick back and forward to the girl and the killer. Currently they are both in a room on their own therefore they are both extremely nervous. Some of the things they do are:

·        Interview of killer: walking into a room to be interviewed, wearing handcuffs, finger tapping, foot tapping, cleaning glasses, looking uncomfortable and nervous, heart beating, drinking water, wiping his forehead with a tissue.

·        Interview of the final girl: covered in cuts and bruises, in shock so not speaking, crying, using a tissue to wipe her tears, too afraid to say anything.

We will cross cut between the 2 police officers walking into the 2 separate rooms and starting the 2 interviews. We will include dialogue here of the police officers saying ‘police interview conducted at 04:23”

The last thing we see in the opening scene is killer looking up into the camera and laughing (zoomed in shot)

Risk Assessment

Risk Assessment

What is a risk assessment?

A risk assessment is a document where you think of some of the hazards that may potentially harm people and what you can do to avoid it. You are required to do this by law. It is a vital element for health and safety and the measures are supposed to conform to the Health And Safety At Work Act 1974.

Five steps are usually carried out to ensure that they have been carried out correctly. These steps are;

•       Identify the hazards.
•       Decide who might be harmed and how.
•       Evaluate the risks and decide on control measures.
•       Record your findings and apply them.
•     Review your assessment and update if necessary.

How important is it when making a film?
It is very important to have a risk assessment when making a film because the people making the film need to protect the actors and any other crew member from any harm. Also the filmmakers need to protect themselves by making sure there are no risks because if anything did happen they would be responsible.

What types of dangers might you come across in a shoot? 

•          Tripping over cables or other equipment.
•          Spilling drinks over equipment.
•          Falling over. 

Our risk assessment:

What are the hazards?	Who might be harmed and how?	What are you already doing?	Do you need to do anything else to manage this risk?	Action by whom?	Action by when?	Done
As we are filming in a school their could be children around	The children as they could trip over some equipment and hurt themselves and also break the equipment		We are going to film after school so that there is no children around or just a few.	Crew	before filming
As we use a glass/cup of water in our scene, it could be spilt.	If its glass it may smash. This is a safety hazard because the glass may cut someone and it will make a mess.If it is a plastic cup no one will be harmed but it will still make a mess and may damage equipment.	We have planned to take a plastic cup with us to ensure that it wont smash. .	We will only fill the water up to about half way as it will decreases the risk of it spilling	Crew
When filming under the table	the camera women could smack her head	Be careful when filming, dont move suddenly		Crew	before filming

Casting & Role Allocation

Casting & Role Allocation

Producer- They have overall control on every aspect of a film's production. They bring together and approve the whole production team. Their key responsibility is to create an environment where the talents of the cast and crew can flourish. 

Director- A film director is in charge of making sure that every component of a movie runs smoothly. They have a say in how the scenes unfold, what props are going to be used, how the characters should look and who should play specific parts. Directors also work with individuals in charge of lighting, scenery, writing to make sure that all of the elements come together. The director is in charge of the three main phases, which are pre-production, production and post-production.

Writer- A person who writes the script for a film.

Editor- The film editor works with the raw footage, selecting shots and combining them into sequences to create a finished motion picture.

Hair and Makeup Artist- Their job is creating make-ups and hairstyles to meet production requirements and overseeing make-up and hair continuity during filming. I did Ellies hair and make-up before filming as we had a clear idea of what we wanted her to look like. 

Camera Operator- which are  also called a cameraman or a camerawoman, is a professional operator of a film or video camera.

Me and Ellie are sharing the roles between us and will take it in turn to have a go at each role. We may find that one of us is better at a role than the other so the person who is better at that role will take more control of that area while the other one of us focuses on something else. 

Cast

The victim- we have chose one of our friends to play the part of the victim. She is 16 years old, which is the age of the victim in the film. She did drama at GCSE so we think that she will play the role effectively. Also for one of her GCSE drama exams she played a similar role as to the one she will be playing in our film, so she has had some experience on how to play the role and will be able to apply this to our film. 

The villain- This role will be played by one of our old high school teachers. He is around 35-40 years old which is around the age of the villain in the film. We chose him because he is quite intimidating and scary looking so we think that he will come across as scary in the scene, which is what we want.

The Police Officer- Although this is only a small role, we still wanted the role to be played effectively. We have again chosen a teacher from our old school, this time a female. We chose her because out of school she works with the police so she has knowledge on how an actual police officer behaves and she can apply this to our film scene.
