Making of Movie (Photos)

These are the pictures i have taken whilst the making of our movie. These are different shots taken in different scenes, and majority of the shots include the villain and the victim. Also, there are some pictures which show my group filming. 

 This image shows the camera man filming one of the scenes when the victim and her father are getting ready to play on the swings.

 This is another image which shows the camera man filming the scene where the father is playing with her daughter. 

 This shows the camera man and the characters, where the camera man is taking a shot of the victim and her father.

This is a picture taken to show the beginning scene of the antagonist in his dark room looking at his week planner, and updating it. As you can see he is wearing dark clothing which slightly identifies that he is the villain. Also, the weekly planner shows pictures of the villains target. 

This is the notebook that the villain writes in about his victim, as you can see there are pictures which show his target, and an object which he collects in the park as the victim drops it. The name of the victims mischievous plan is called 'The Agenda' 

This is the antagonists weekly planner that shows that on this week, he is going to make his move on kidnapping the victim, but will be successful of not no one knows. 

This is the park which the victim and her father are playing on, and the swings that she gets kidnapped from. 

This is a shot that shows the victim and her father playing in the park, early before she gets kidnapped.

This is another picture of the swings taken from a different angle. 

This is when the victim and her father are playing on the swings, and minutes later the father realises he has lost his phone therefore he goes to find it, telling his daughter to stay there and not to move.

Props

 This is the book that the villain uses to write about the child that he will be kidnapping. (The Victim) This prop book we made shows various different pictures of the victim in different location. Also, as you can see the picture above shows a bow looking object. This object is found by the villain in the park when the victim drops it, therefore he takes it and inserts it in his book. The pictures show illustrations of where they are taken, what time and some information about the victim itself.

This is the antagonists week planner which shows the date when he is going to make his move on kidnapping the victim. Thursday is the day when he will make his move. Also, his planner shows the days from Monday when he has been spying on her, there are various pictures of the victim once again. Lastly, as you can see from the picture, the day of the agenda is written in bold black and red. The week of the antagonist plan is named 'The Agenda'.

Locations of Filming

We had filmed in 2 different places. The first place we had filmed was in a dark room at school, where the lights were turned off and there was a minor background light so the audience could see what the antagonist was up to. This dark room was meant to implicate a room in the antagonists room where he made his cunning plans. Also, the second place we were meant to film had changed from the Hounslow Heath Park to Murray Park. Both were based in the Hounslow Borough, 10 minutes away from each other, we had decided to change as Hounslow Heath Park had been closed due to construction work on going in the park. This change did not disappoint us as both location were suitable for the filming as there was barely anyone at the park as daylight was going, and both locations consisted of a play area. These two locations we had used went to plan as there were no discrepancies that had occurred.

Logic Pro

Logic pro is a software in which you can create different types of music. Logic Pro is similar to Garage Band, but Logic Pro is better, it is compatible with both Windows & Mac. I had used this software to create my composition in which I will be using on  my thriller movie opening. To create this composition piece, I started with 2 chords on a synthesiser, then I used the synth to tweak the piece to make it slow and then i had layered it with different instruments such as Boutique 808, Burning Pad, Black Sun, Cheerful Melody and Muted Bass, so it would flow with the opening scene that i will create. We will be using this composition throughout our piece, at the beginning during the credits, and when the victim gets kidnapped, we will replay it as there is barely any spoken words used in the scene. This is a software i had chosen to use as I am more familiar with this software rather than Garage Band. Also, I have used this software before to create a similar composition for another task.   

This youtube video shows the composition I have made, I will be using this in my final piece as a background as it is a thriller type movie, we will be using this composition throughout the beginning and the end of our film. We will use this to create diegetic sound.

Sheldon Curve Structure

This is the Sheldon Curve Structure that a created. as you can see 2B has the highest amount of tension. this is when in the scene the victim is kidnapped by the antagonist. 2A leads into scene 2B as the tension slowly rises to its highest point. The tension is gradually built when the villain comes into play and gets ready to make his move on kidnapping the little girl, and then it slowly decreases when the victim and villain disappear  However, the tension once again rises when the father of the victim returns to find that his daughter is no longer on the swings.
