SOUND AND MUSIC

We have decided that mostly diegetic sound should be used for the audience to understand what is going on as well as it would make them feel that they are part of the film. So, diegetic sound such as the car going and any other background sound should not be edited out of the sequence. However, some shots include rough sounds which are not suitable for the sequence. This makes us include non - diegetic sound. The non - diegetic sound should be spooky/scary as it should create the mysterious look towards Danny and part of it should create tension.



This is a guitar instrumental of Jason Mraz - I'm yours. We thought that it would be rather suitable as it does not give away the fact of Danny being violent, making it look like a love story. However, it does not create tension which would not be very suitable for a thriller. We have also looked at the same instrumental but played by a piano as we thought if it was played by a different instrument it would sound much different, however it was more softer than we thought it would be.




This we believe that is rather suitable for the video as it includes some hard notes, also the lyrics of this song are ' I love the way you lie' even though the lyrics are not included we are still able to understand by listening to the music. The lyrics 'I love the way you lie' go very well with the film, this is because Danny pretends to be in love with Leila, but ends up hurting her.





We have decided to go through other instrumentals of this song and find the best one and we have found that this instrumental not only includes a piano but a violin too, 1:30 onwards. This may be the part that is most suitable for our video. This instrumental has been played much softer, even though it is soft it still creates that mysterious effect.

COSTUME

NEW DANNY : A mysterious look needs to be created by unique clothes and other props. Also if the body is more covered this may create a bigger mysterious look, as if the person may be hiding something under the clothes, such as the fact of them being violent.


- Tattoos,
- Piercings,
- A hat,
- Trousers,
- Top,
- Shirt,
- Body warmer,
- Trainers.


LEILA : Leilas image does not change as she is just an ordinary girl, so anything casual can be worn.

NEW FILMING

We have set our selves a saturday to do all of our filming, as we had the saturday free. The process of filming went very well and we have nearly finished filming every scene. However, it took us a few shots for the dialogue as Paula, me, could not get the words right as I was rather nervous and I do not normally do acting. Even though we got everything perfect in the end, we have found the wind making it hard for the audience to hear what leila and Danny were saying while we were editing all the sequences together. This means that the dialogue scenes need to be re-shot. Also one of the shots includes a tiny amount of light which makes it hard for the audience to see Leila, this mistake can be easily fixed by turning on the light behind Leila as she opens the door. To improve the sound we have to either choose a calm day or use something to shield the camera and the two characters from the wind getting in the way.

NEW SETTING AND LOCATIONS

LOCATIONS: Downe Close, Paulas House (Door way, Living room, Bedroom)


Downe Close : this is just a road that we have decided to use as Paula,I, live there so it was an easy option. As we have shot our title sequence from different types of shots, we could make the location look as it is a different location for the old house of Danny and the new road of where Danny and Leila live. 


Door way: A door way has been used to show where Leila lives, when Danny visits her for help.


Living room: the living room had a great amount of light which had made the images of the dead body rather bright and beautiful.


Bedroom: Me bedroom was used randomly as we needed an indoor place for Danny to put his photo   album in his bag.

NEW STORY BOARDS

TIME: 83 Secs/ 1min 23 secs

NEW CHARACTERS

LIAM FLETCHER PLAYING DANNY

We have decided to use Liam as Danny, as he looks unique. This means that he has a different style to everybody else. The fact of him being unique may mean that he could do different things than other people. In this case, he would be a violent person with a mental illness. However, his tattoos and clothing hide everything away as people would be more focused on his appearance.


LAURA POUND

This is another character that has been involved in our film/title sequence. Laura does not play any parts in our movie but is also a victim as seen in the images below. We have chosen Laura to be one of the victims as she is also an ordinary young girl just getting on with her life, and she does not look suspicious or any different from other ordinary girls.









IMAGES FOR THE TITLE SEQUENCE

These images look rather good as they look very realistic. This is due to the make up, props and costume. The angles that these images are shot form work rather well as most detail is captured. However not all of these can be chosen, and this leaves us to choose the best shots for the main things to stand out, such as the cuts, bruises and the tape. We are able to choose about 5 images which is a good choice as a lot can be noticed from the 5 images. The shots of Laura and Danny have worked very well as it can be identified that he has hurt her as he does not look upset. Also it looks like he has taken the photo by himself which makes the audience think that no one was there with him. The angle it has been taken from includes his arm which makes it look like he took the picture on his own even though the picture was taken by me, Paula.

FEEDBACK, 02/02/2011

On wednesday three groups out of five got to show their title sequences for feedback from the class and the teacher. As our title sequence was viewed by others we were told that it is rather confusing, as they did not know what was going on. The improvements that need to be made are; improving shots for better views, include new shots for more details. Also the lighting should be viewed at differently, to see if the shots work better with the lighting or without. Going back into it would take a lot of time, so, as we do not have much time left we have decided to make a new title sequence based on the same story. Which means that the story boards have to be different as well as the shots. Also we are considering of changing people, as Danny's character has to look a bit more evil/violent.
