Tuesday 20th

On this day we filmed the match on action with our actors. first we filmed the actors running into the location for different angles to help build on the match on action shot. we then shoot a close up shot of the  main character following his next character and long shots of the main character. we also did a lot of extreme close ups of the body of the character being followed after he was murdered.

Monday 19th

Shanelle, Sinteyah and myself met up at our chosen location and started the filming of you opening sequence, on this day we took a lot of shots of objects that helped build the atmosphere of the location and the opening sequence. One of the shots are of my arm just hanging in mid air, and another shot is of a industrial machine from the 19th century we panned. we used a few shot like that on different objects around the area we were filming. 

Images from the location of our film introduction

These are images from a location that we plan to film in, we decided to film in the evening to give it a more mystery effect but took the pictures in day to highlight the features of the location.

music

shanelle and Aaqib are looking for music to include in our opening sequence. they are looking for music that creates suspense rather than a type that makes it sound 'spooky'. The instuments we are looking to include would be violins and or an organ.

Group Pitch

The general story is about a teenager named Daniel who had a troubled upbringing. He gets caught by members of a rival gang and gets beaten into a coma. Three weeks later he wakes up from the coma and tries to convince everybody that he has spoken with the Lord. His mother and friends don’t believe him, however his girlfriend makes an effort to understand. The twist is that he doesn’t tell anybody that the Lord assigned him a duty, a duty to kill. He believes that he has been told to rid the world of evil. However, revenge is a condition that is not allowed.

The opening doesn’t consist of anything that has been detailed in the previous paragraph in depth, however it will start with a flash back. He is in the middle of an assassination and once he has committed the assassination, he gets a headache and a vision starts to form inside his head.A priest who has been assigned the same duty as him, started to decide who he himself thought was pure enough to live or die.

He previously was killing prostitutes, paedophiles, murderers and rapist. He then got power-drunk and started killing single parented mothers, women who have children out of wedlock, women who commit adultery and many other women that he considered impure. This priest started going insane and started raping many of his victims.

This priest is Daniel’s next target. Daniel develops an early hatred as a single mother brought him up and he sees graphical images of the priest raping the women in his head. However, the priest may in fact be expecting Daniel and with a lot more experience, does Daniel really stand a fighting chance?

Starting of Group work

We were given our assigned groups today by our teacher. The group consists of four members which includes Shikel, Aaquib, Sinteyah and myself. The genre of our task is a thriller. We initially decided to choose Shikel's work as we thought her idea mirrored a stereotypical thriller but after some thought and plans ahead we realised that this may not be the best idea as it lacked in practicality. In the end we mixed everyones pitch to come up with a story line.

planning of opening sequence

For my opening sequence i have chosen to set the location in a local dump or alley, this is because i believe the tense tight space in a alley would make the audience feel uncomfortable and the open space of the dump would make the audience feel how the victim would feel as if there's no way of someone hearing them scream out there.
I also choose to have deep atmospheric music to make the audience feel the build up of tension as the mysterious killer goes to get rid of his last victim and him self.
The costume of the killer reflects he's beliefs which also gives the audience a very small clue into the identity of the killer and why he commits these crimes.
