costume


The female character is made to be a character who is sophisticated therefore the costume throughout will be used in order to represent this. Moreover we hope to create binary opposition through the characters dress therefore meaning the male character would be wearing typically "slobbish" or more casual clothing throughout our opening.

Within our opening the establishing extract is to be a shot of the house the girl is held hostage in, which zooms into the moon which will follow to a graphic match to the girl sitting on the chair in the basement's pearl necklace. Not only will this connote her wealth and sophistication this will also establish a story for the audience to work with, representing the significance of her wealth.



As the extract develops and we go to the scene where the girl is walking along with the boy in the common we see her in less sophistication yet still dressed up nicely. In a white long coat along with black jeans, back turtle neck and black boots.




These clothes will be in binary opposition to the costume of the male who, throughout will be wearing grey tracksuit bottoms and a grey sweatshirt. with some trainers. This will connote to the audience the different within the two characters from the start.

Filming - day1

On the day filming i was unable to get the actors on the days i was free so i tryed out some possible shots to use of the house for the establishing shot.
below are some screen shots:





Some of the footage i disided to not use as the shot wasnt right or i was fully framing the house and it wasnt a good angle. 

I then also realised that these shots looked to happy and bright and i needed to make them darker and more sinister looking.




I then went on to add these into adobe after effects to add some darker filters on and you speed up the pan.
The out come of these looked quite good and i am thinking of using these in the final film after discusing it with my group.

locations


The image above is the location where we will film in dog walking scene.
This is located just down the road from my house and will be easy to access and to film here is no issue as it is relatively quite and no houses.

 Here is the location of the house in which the girl is taken hostage and most of the filming will take place.
This spot here is where the crab shot will take place the angle will be a high angle and a fisheye or super wideangle lens will be used to create a peep hole effect to make it look as if she is being watched and a plan is taking place,also creates suspense and the idea that she is trapped in.
