Production day 5 Trapped SFX

For the SFX of our project we will make our own custom SFX track. We will use the windiest place in the college for the wind SFX. A guitar to make a screeching SFX. Heart beating, and more eerie sounds in the back ground. In the end we did not make our own SFX with instruments I listed, we instead use royalty free songs from incompetech.

Production days 2-8 Filming/Editing

We did half of our filming on tuesday, from the scene of Matt walking in the corridor, he then goes inside a room and puts down a box, he gets trapped, we edited it so it looks like there's a bit were a security  camera is recording him. What we did on wednesday was film the bit where Matt is outside the room and walking down the corridor then going outside and then going to show him seeing him self and then walking back inside. We were going to to film the bit with me in the suit, but we didn't have any time left, so in other words I got changed for nothing. But I'm glad I left it in the class. Rob and Matt were editing the main film and me and Alex are doing the credits, what we are doing for the credits is an Istop motion animation of a box turning around with labels on it of the people who did what.

Trapped title and credits ideas

Our ideas for the titles were: The protagonist is walking with the box in his hands then letters appear saying 'Trapped'. The alternative idea is the protagonist walks past a window holding a box, after passing the window the antagonist appears at the window then zooms in on his face then shows 'Trapped' instead of his face. The credits ideas are: showing a blurred scene of when the protagonist is trapped in the room and the credits are slanted in the corner of the screen. The alternative idea shows the writing on each side of the box, as it turns different writing appears.

Production day 2 Health and safety/film schedule

Today we had to record possible hazards in the places we will record in, like the forest bit of the college where we could trip up on branches. The film schedule is where we sorted out what we'll do for each day, for the first week we where doing post production. For the second week we filmed, edited and made credits. For the third week we are finalizing the editing for our short film. In the last week we will show our short film.

Production day 1 Group 4 props/costumes

The props/costumes we use is a black suit, two ties, torch, two formal shirts and a box. We were going to have the antagonist wear something with a hood but that seemed to predictable, so we went with something not as predictable. The idea for the suit for the antagonist, was inspired by the TV show supernatural where the antagonists wear suits instead of informal clothes, like jeans, T-shirts, jackets and trainers.

'Trapped' Initial planning

We all had different initial ideas. Matt's idea was a guy fighting a few people then him getting locked in the room with the guys he was fighting. Rob's idea was a guy walking in a room then getting trapped inside the room we then manages to get out then gets chased by a guy then he runs to an exit goes out then appears back in the room he was trapped in. Alex's is a man going into a lift it then stops in when the power cuts then he is trapped in an elevator. My idea was a man waking up in a windowless room strapped to a chair then a guy pulls out his tooth then wakes up in a windowless room strapped to a chair.
We then decided to adapt mine and Robs idea and we turned it into a guy going into a room with a sealed box saying 'DO NOT OPEN' on it, then him getting locked in the room and him trying to escape, he falls asleep after a while, then wakes up on the other side of the door and see some sleeping on the opposite side of the door of him, the last part is the main guy closing his eyes opening them and appear in a forest and after the credits it zooms in on a box in the distance.

MC 900ft Jesus - If I Only Had A Brain

This video was the video that our teacher showed us. He said that their could be a victim in the box that shows him shrunk, making it look like the box is a completely different dimension, but the idea didn't catch on so we didn't use it in the end.

Trapped target audience member

What we did for this task was find pictures that our target audience would like and putting the pictures together in photoshop then pointing arrows and labeling them. The audience member would maybe listen to heavy metal or music that sounds unique. They might like subway for for their fresh food they might like forbidden planet because because they have a lot of products that are horror affiliated or scfi affiliated products. They might like time paradox movies like Groundhog Day and Donnie Darko they might also watch dark sinister movies like the Dark Night or Terminator. They might watch movies and listen to music online also maybe look at games and movies that are gonna come soon.

The 'Find your tribe' I'm a Indie scenester, I'm not a trend setter, I wear what I feel like wearing, I listen to what I like when I like, I'm not fashionable at all, I do agree with working in some thing creative, but I don't blog or video cast. So I disagree with most of it.
