Filming permission

As I have already stated we will be filming in the Farthinghoe area. So I went online and searched up any local groups of authority who could grant us permission to film in the area. After some searching I came across the Farthinghoe parish council page.

On the contact section of the site there is a list of members of the council and the email of the chairmen of the council -Ross van Geest.

Sound Effects

Using our script as a guide we collected a variety of sound effects that would be added to our film at certain points.

 

Film date update

As expected there were some complications and we were unable to film on the 11th. We have organised a new filming session on 16th of December on a wednesday.

Audio test

Other students in our class encountered issues with their audio when reviewing their footage. For this reason we decided it would safe to takes some unrelated footage to test the boom microphones are working sufficiently and record in high quality.
The footage we took was 100% unrelated to our film and was just a silly bit of fun to test with the microphone. I apologise in advance.

Target audience Questionnaire

Using the questionnaire I created we quizzed 3 individuals and recorded their opinions.

Tester shots

We took some footage similar to what we will take for our main film, we used me as the character as our desired cast were not available.

The first practise shot we took was test footage for our "double effect" in which Bridie would be talking to the alternate time version of herself. As you can see it was quite successful although there is a clear gap between the two and the contrast in colour, this will be easily adjusted in the final version. 

The second effect we worked on was the time travel effect that pulsates from the character. In this example we decided to show it pulsating from the arm of the subject (Me) although the finished one will be more refined it still looks visually spectacular.

We did a similar effect to what we did on the arm on a face and gave it a more veined pulsating effect.

Another effect we practiced for our film is the time travel effect itself. We already decided the time travelling would be done from the human mind so we created an effect to make it appear as if the time travelling is done from within the brain and comes out from the eye.

Call Sheet for filming 11/12/15

Film issues

We're currently struggling to find an agreed date in which to start filming. It's been very difficult to try and agree upon a date as our schedules clash. We are debating getting permission from school to let us film within class hours, if this is agreed then it is possible we could film this friday the 12th of december.

Props

Throughout our short film we shouldn't require too many props. We decided the time travelling should be done through the character's mind and body so we wouldn't require any sort of time machine.

In our film a character will be shot. For this we will need a replica firearm, the one we have chosen to use is this classic style air pistol, it looks like an authentic fire arm but it shouldn't be included in too many shots so the way it looks should not be too important.

Although throughout the film a knife should be used twice it will only properly been in view of the audience once in the final scene, therefore we believed it isn't worth the effort to find a replica knife, so we went through the health and safety risks and will be very cautious when handling the blade.

Tempore Exitus

The title we chose for our short film is Tempore Exitus, but how does it relate to our genre?

"Tempore Exitus" is latin for "Time Issues" which very simply a good summary of the narrative of our story. The title has an exciting sound to it and it flicks of the tongue very nicely. The word "Tempore" meaning time is a word that links in with our genre, it is also the origin word for "Temporal" which has connotations of time travel and therefore the sc-fi genre. The official definition even states the word os "relating to time"

"Exitus" meaning "Issue" or "exit" has a dramatic tone to it. The word brings to mind the biblical word "Exodus" which gives it special meaning. In terms of sc-fi relation it sounds very prominent and somewhat authoritative.

Title sequence questionnaire

We created 3 similar title sequences for our short film all with of which linked with out theme. However we could not decide which one we should go with so we asked 15 people which they preferred and went by the results.

Title sequence one : 7

Title sequence two : 6

Title sequence three : 2

Due to the close result we have decided to mix in elements of one with two to create something that will appease the majority of our target audience.

Typography options

Using a variety of internet sites we found a selection text styles to use as the main typography for a our film. We asked 10 people which one they preferred.

- 3

-0

- 5

- 2





The decision of our target audience is that the "Star Avenue" text is the one we're going to use. This typography is aesthetically pleasing and suitable for the genre of our film. However it has one issue, the typography does not include capital letters.

Location

After much thought we have decided that Farthinghoe will be our choice of location.

This will be the place where we will take the shot of Ella being hit by the car.
This road is isolated and few cars come around, it also leads on for quite a long distance allowing us to put up signs to warn drivers about us filming.
Also as you can somewhat make out in this picture you can see reasonably far down the road to see oncoming vehicles.

As you can see leading of from the road there is a footpath leading to a field, this will be crucial for our narrative where the protagonist leads her friend away from the road into apparent "safety.
"

For the brief indoor parts of our film we will be using my bedroom in Middleton Cheney. It may be somewhat cramped and the lighting may be dim but it will only be used briefly in a scene which does not require much room.

Location Scouting

With almost everything else prepared we've started to work on a crucial issue, the location in which we are going to film in.

Our first possible location is the Stanwell area in Middleton Cheney. It has everything we need for our film, a road and a back entrance field. However it's in a rather built up neighbourhood and getting permission from everybody in the area would be difficult.

Another possible location for filming is the park area near Queen Street, it has all the requirements for our film, a isolated road, an adjacent field with plenty of space to film some establishing shots.

Special effects

Special effects will be a crucial part of our film. They will be used all throughout and will be important in advancing the narrative of the film and indicating to the audience what is happening.
Our film is of the Sc-fi genre and special effects are key in Sc-fi to create something that is unbelievable and visually spectacular, this is exactly what we wish to achieve using special effects in our film, since time travel is an unbelievable idea that can only be generated through special effects.

One particularly tricky effect we have to produce is the car accident. using this video we are able to create the effect that our character is being hit by a car stunt and accident free.

This lightning effect will be used all throughout the film as the main time travel effect. This will be a complex and timely process but we need to master it as it will be an essential part of establishing the narrative.

This is similar to the other effect although in this case it is in the eye region and will be far more precise and tricky to accomplish as this video shows.

Age Rating

After visiting the official BBFC website and running our film through the official film age rating specifications it rates our film as a borderline age 12 filming almost a 15.

The official description for films of this rating is:

Violence
At 12A, moderate violence is allowed but it should not dwell on detail. There should be no emphasis on injuries or blood, but occasional gory moments may be permitted if they can be justified by their context (for example brief sight of bloody injury in a medical drama).

Language
The BBFC's Guidelines state that strong language (e.g. 'f***') may be passed at 12 or 12A, depending on the manner in which it is used, who is using the language, its frequency and any special contextual justification. Aggressive uses of strong language may result in a film or DVD being placed at the 15 category. There is some allowance for puns on strong language at this category.
There may be moderate language (e.g. uses of terms such as ‘bitch’ and ‘twat’ at 12 or 12A)

In the case of violence our film should technically be certificate 18 due to one particularly violent scene, however it is so brief that I believe our film should stay within the age 12 guidelines.]
UPDATE 

After reviewing our film and it's content we have realised that it is more in fact a 16. Our film contains violence, swearing, and scenes of threat.

Costume

What our characters will be wearing in our film will not be very important. Later we will have a brief discussion with our cast members about what they should wear but it is not an essential element.

Our actors will be wearing rather "casual" styles of clothing, nothing out of the ordinary. Although for the alternate "time" version of the protagonist should be wearing a cloak of some sort to conceal her face.

For the ordinary outfits of our actors the only thing we really need to take into perspective is the weather conditions, we will be filming around winter and it would be preferable if our cast can wear something to keep warm.

Questionaire

Target Audience questionnaire

Question 1 : What is the first film that comes to mind when you hear the words “Time Travel”?

Question 2: What do you personally like about the idea of time travel?

Question 3: What conventions do you associate with Time Travel?

Question 4: What do you think of our title “Tempore Exitus”?

Question 5: What comes to mind when you hear this title?

(Give brief run through of our film)

Question 6: What are your initial thoughts about this film?

Question 7 : Would you say it contains all the codes and conventions necessary for it to be a Sc-fi/Time travel film?

Question 8: What do you like about the film in particular?

Question 9: What do you think about the twist?

Question 10: What changes would you make to this film if any?

Communication

When arranging a film session communication is essential, for arranging a meeting point and for reminding cast members of what is happening, and for communicating in advance if there are any changed circumstances.

Mobile communication will be our most frequent and reliable means of communication, ringing somebody is usually the most reliable and instant way to get hold of someone, whilst texting and internet messaging are always good for distributing information.

Social networks are an excellent tool for organisation, Facebook in particular is great for organising a meeting, you can create events pages and group chats which are very convenient for distributing information to your cast and messaging numerous people at once.  

Equipment List

For the moment while unsure what cameras we have available we will be using a Nikon D3200 camera.
It is reliable, portable  and can record high definition footage, along with a variety of different lenses for different shots and zooms, also the built in audio recorder is of decent quality.

For our indoor scenes we will need to set up artificial lighting. We will need 3 tripod lighting rigs set up which can be repositioned and angled to create atmosphere and mood. These lights can be compacted and packed up for easy transportation.

A fairly standard piece of equipment we will use a Hama "Star 24" tripod to steady the camera for filming. Hama tripods are very adjustable with the capability of angling the camera in numerous ways. Basic piece of equipment. 

Finished script

After refining the script, editing errors, adding more detail and camera angles we have finally finished the script.

cast

Although the film story is not fully set in stone, we have already decided our cast list.

Name : Bridie Gibbs 

Age : 18

Character : Bridie will be portraying the main protagonist "Sarah Smith".

Reason : Bridie is an experienced actress with many years of theatrical experience, performing in numerous school performances many of which she played the lead roles. She has proven herself as a good actress able to apply herself to many different roles and is superb at portraying a good variety of emotions, this will be a valuable asset when it comes to playing our protagonist who is a very complex and intriguing character. Also as a bonus she owns her own car and is able to efficiently travel to our filming sessions.

Name : Ella Wilton 

Age : 17

Character : Ella will be playing "Beth" who is the protagonist's best friend and is the one she attempts to save.

Reasoning: Much like Bridie she has a keen history of theatre and performance, often in the same performances as Bridie and also has acting talent. Her and Bridie are also good friends in real life, this will make their role as "best friends" seem more legitimate and convincing.

Name : Jake Haines

Age : 17

Character : Jake will be playing the male figure in our film called "Jack"

Reason: Jack's role is rather minor and he has minimal dialogue, so we didn't think it necessary to get hold of another actor so Jake my co-director and producer shall be playing these minor roles. 

Risk assesment

Draft Script

Our film in 1 sentence and a paragraph

Loosing somebody can be the hardest thing for someone to go through and can leave you in a dark place where you would do anything to turn back time. Eighteen year old Sarah Smith was given a chance, a chance to change everything, But when the circumstances seem to not work in Sarah's favour, it's becomes clear her efforts are being undermined by what will change Sarah's life forever.

Ever lost somebody? Do anything to turn back time? Eighteen year old Sarah Smith was given the chance to turn back the clock but it soon becomes clear that nothings is as it truly seems.

Creating the soundtrack

We created our unique score soundtrack on Garage Band. Garageband is a simple to use software that enables you to create your own Mp3 sound tracks that can be uploaded to Apple Tunes and then easily imported into our final sequence. Garage Band includes a variety of instruments that can be easily pieced into a final sequence. Using this we created our unique Score for our title sequence.

Sc-fi mood board

Film in 100 words (well 170 but whatever)

 The core unrefined idea of our film is that it involves our protagonist gains the ability to travel in time, but only after experiencing great emotional anguish following the death of her best friend, and she time travels back to the moment her friend died in a tragic accident to attempt to save her friend and change the past. However her efforts are in vain, and as the protagonist saves her friend from the accident another event occurs and her friend perishes again, in an effort to stop this the protagonist keeps going back in time to try again and each time she fails to save her friend. Until it is revealed to her in some way that her friend had committed a horrible act of betrayal to the protagonist, and the protagonist fueled by hatred uses her time travel ability to kill the very friend she has been so desperately trying to save, and it is revealed that the whole time it has been the protagonist has been the one undoing the protagonists efforts to save her friend.

Trailer analysis - Straight Outta Compton

Institutional 
Name: Straight Outta Compton
Year : 2015
Certificate : 15
Production company : Legendary pictures
Director : F.Gary Grey

Box office

Awards: Too recent for awards
Budget: $28,000,000
Opening weekend: $56,100,000
Star System : O'Shea Jackson Jr.,  Corey Hawkins, Jason Mitchell, Neil Brown Jr., Aldis Hodge

Target Audience
This film is a true story based on the achievements and exploits of the world renown rap group NWA and follows their life story, NWA are a very well known group for their controversies and music and would already have a dedicated fan base and this film would certainly attract their attention as the film takes the name of their first and most notorious album "Straight outta compton".
The trailer clearly displays scenes of adult nature, such as criminal acts, firearms, police brutality and urban culture that deemed only fit for ages 15+, and due to the male leading roles and lack of feminine themes I would say this film targets a primarily male audience.

Settings and location

this trailer is a compilation of the basic areas of the film and therefore shows many locations shown throughout the sequence however each of them seems to be presented as a run-down "Ghetto" urban environment, several icons of this stereotype can be see such as low rider cars, graffiti and large groups of intimidating looking people, all these signifies to the audience the setting of the film.

The vast amount of this film was filmed funnily enough in L.A Compton, and following the obvious title and narrative of the film make this a fairy obvious place to film why attempt to recreate the Compton environment when you can use the actual Compton environment.
However one scene that is emphasised in the trailer that is outside the Compton environment is the scene in the recording booth, this scene differs quite greatly and is presented in the trailer as a clear turning point in the film and the clean high class looking environment presents it as a high point in contrast the low quality climate through the majority of the trailer.

However it is notable how in almost every scene throughout the trailer is shown in low level lighting, this is done purposefully to signify to the audience the low quality and deprived climate the characters exist in and the few scenes that are in light are generally those in which the characters had developed wealth.
Also the low lighting outdoor scenes are meant to present the idea of crime and nightlife being a persistent theme in the film.

Sound
There is a sound track that is continuous, it's the single "Straight outta Compton" by NWA dissected into its layers and as the trailer intensifies it keeps building up until eventually the the full song is playing and it merges into the video with the performers performing the song on stage in a sort of match on action, but as I previously stated this film is an urban cultured themed film and this is shown by the street style rhyme and beat of the soundtrack and of course the rapping itself.
The song chosen for the soundtrack is very iconic and popular and would appeal to the target audience of this film

Short film analysis - The Jump

Film: The Jump
Produced by: Invenire Films
Budget: Unknown
Released: Apr 15, 2015
Genre: Short, Sci-fi, Time travel, comedy?

Sound
Throughout the beginning of this film sound is very much used to comedic effect. It starts with a light hearted piano riff  incidental sound track that is played all throughout the process of building the time machine. Throughout the process of building the time machine each sound effect involved with the making progress is exaggerated for comedic effect, such as the cutting of wire or the fire of the blow torch. Ambient echoing sounds are played whilst the time machine is being inspected, this is added to give a sense of mystery. The sound of the date being changed on the time machine is highly exaggerated to clearly signify to the audience what is going on. The sound effects of travelling in time are very simple, it's a quiet boom, the actual visual effect of the location is enough to signify to the audience that the protagonist has traveled in time. Sound effects are very important in the scene in which the protagonist has traveled into the past. The producers have cleverly used ambient sound effect of nature and birdsong to imply the lack of human activity to suggest to the audience that the protagonist had traveled to a past location without the existence of human presence. Throughout the scene in which the character has traveled forward in time to the future, the sound effects are important in exaggerating the chaos and drama of the futuristic warzone the protagonist finds himself in. In the crucial "Mum" scene of this short film the incidental soundtrack is crucial in signifying to the audience the sadness of the situation. The sombre sound track implies to the audience that this is a sad moment for the protagonist and that something tragic is about to happen. The sound effect of the car crash is important in telling the audience that the car containing his mother has crashed, this is not shown visually.

Mise-En-Scene
The costume of the protagonist does little to enhance the narrative, although it is typical for a Time travel film to have a character dressed in casual, normal time period clothing. It could be argued his style of hair is stereotypical for a "nerd" character who would be interested in technology etc.

 







The key prop used throughout the film is the time machine. Much like the one in "One Minute Time Machine" it's very simplistic in design. In this case it's a simple brief case which has been cleverly used, the combination code has been used as the date selector for the time machine. In terms of representation brief cases are often associated with business and serious affairs, this juxtaposes with the unusual time travel capabilities it has.

The notepad prop has great significance throughout the entire film. With the absence of any dialogue what the protagonist writes in this notepad is key to directing the narrative of the story forward and implying the audience what is happening. The film has two settings, inside the house and the outdoor environment. Little is seen of the house it'self but it appears to be a modern style house. However it is notably quite empty this suggests to the audience that the protagonist is living there alone and is quite lonely. The outdoor setting is very peaceful and rural, there is no signs of human activity, this is used to suggest to the audience that the protagonist has time traveled to a time when humans did not exist. Oddly the same outdoor environment has been used for the future scene, where the chaos of the lasers and destruction juxtaposes with the quiet tranquil countryside setting.

Editing
The first scene in which the Time machine is being built is fast paced, this implies to the audience the rush for the protagonist to build the time machine. The main bit of editing is the time travel special effect. In this the character remains in the same position and it instantly transported to another scene, this is a very simple yet effective effect that implies to the audience that he has traveled in time. Special effects have been added to the future scene in the form of laser beams and fire effects, this implies to the audience that he is in the futuristic warzone with laser guns and explosions. The pace of editing in this scene is very fast and frantic to emphasize the danger and panic of the warzone environment. The pace of editing in the remaining scenes is often very slow to signify the emotion felt by the protagonist. There are also a number of eye line matches to show the emotions the protagonist during these heartfelt scenes.

Camera 
Throughout the whole beginning sequence the camera uses two different perspectives, the POV of the protagonist and a reaction shot the protagonist. This is done to show the concentration and ingenuity of the protagonist as he constructs the time machine. One shot of special significance is the extreme close up of the note pad and the protagonists pen writing on it. This is used as a tool to progress the narrative and tell the audience what is happening, it is presented as an extreme close up to signify to the audience of the importance of the notepad.

An extreme long shot is used in the "past" scene to show off the vastness of the outdoor environment and to clearly indicate to the audience that there is no human life. It also displays the "greenness" and tranquility of the setting. The camera angles used in the future scene cleverly only concentrate on the protagonist and track movements at a mid shot. This is done to keep as much of the setting hidden from the audience as possible and also to signify the action and excitement of the scene.

In the sad "mum" scene the camera constantly does a shot reverse shot eye line match of what the protagonist is looking at, this also works as a reaction shot and it displays the emotion felt by the protagonist in these sad scenes.

Short film analysis One-minute Time machine

Film : One Minute Time Machine

Produced by : Empty Box Productions 

Budget : $1000

Released : 29th March 2014

Genre : Short, Comedy, Romance

For my upcoming analysis I am going to personally rate each clip on the 4 key areas of any media production, Sound, Mis En Scene, camera and editing.

 I will also explain my reasons for my decision and state what in particular I enjoyed about the clip.

Sound

Sound does not play a key role throughout this film, throughout there is a constant "Romantic" piano riff non-diagetic incidental soundtrack that is played for comedic effect to imitate the style of a romance film.

This sound track is then muted in moments when the male character makes a "mistake" when attempting to romance the girl and is immediately continues as he activates his time machine and works out the correct thing to say, this is done to parody the normal cliché "guy meets girl" romance scenario with a twist and works very well.

Sound effects wise there is only really the activation noise of the time machine which is quite crucial in indicating that the scene is switching to the next time scenario thus moving the story on for the viewer.

Overall judgement 6/10

Mis En Scene

The setting of this film much like the sound track is set to try and imitate the Cliché of a romantic film, it is set on an isolated bench in a well lit location that would be deliberately set in a romance film to stage an emotional connection between two characters with no environmental distractions.

The high key natural lighting of the area creates a tranquil climate and shows of the characters in a positive light, it certainly present the female character to be in a state of relaxation.  

The costume of the woman clearly presents her as an character of intellect, this is shown by her sophisticated looking cardigan and shirt that is quite stereotypical of a woman in a doctoral or educational position, this is further reflected by the style of her hair which is neatly tied up in a professional style, she can also seen with a scientific book prop that adds to her representation as a character of intellect.

The male character however is dressed in more casual attire, his outfit does not really stereotype to any particular class of person and does not really do much to present him as a character.
His hair however does more to address his personality, his hair is styled in a way that shows that he has clearly put a lot of effort into looking his best, this clearly matches his aims in the film which is to gain the attention of the female character.

Overall judgement 7/10

Editing

The most consistent edit shown throughout the film is the transition from scene to scene that follows the pushing of the time machine button, it is a mere flash to white along with the sound effect this is quite a simple effect but it very clearly signifies to the audience the change in the film and in a way is more effective than a traditional melodramatic sci-fi time machine, the simplistic manner of this adds to the comedic effect.

During the dialogue between the two characters there is a fairly moderate paced shot reverse shot which alters between a mid-shot and close up of the characters as the intimacy between them grows this is meant as an imitation of the romantic style, the way the editing works almost makes the film seem like outtakes thus adding to the comedic effect.

Overall judgement 9/10

Camera

The camera angles does not stay consistent throughout, as i stated with the editing it changes levels as the intimacy between the two increases for example, at the start when the two are distant strangers they are shown from a mid-shot which is remains until a clear connection is made which is indicated when the female states "I like weird", at this point the zooms into a close up this signifies clear feelings of intimacy.

Other than the occasional long shot to establish a twist in the plot the camera angle does not have much variety and is not very vital to the advancement of the story.

Overall judgement 6/10   

Trailer Analysis - Suicide squad

Institutional information 

Name : Suicide Squad

Year: 2016

Age Certificate : To be specified

production : DC Entertainment 

Director : John Ayer

Other details regarding budget and income are yet to be released, this is still only a teaser trailer.

Target audience

Suicide squad is based on the DC comics series and therefore is part of a franchise with an already established fan base, and this trailer has some references to the comic series that an existing fan would find very appealing and would create hype throughout the fan base and these existing fans would go to help make this trailer viral.

This trailer features a number of conventions that would appeal to an action film fan, such as armed swat style costumes and slow motion fight scenes along with dark thriller environments such as the prison or the streets and there are numerous weapon props from bats to assault rifles all of which indicate to the viewer that this is going to be action packed intense film.

The film has its unique selling point that the Villains take the role of the main protagonists and they try to show this as a theme throughout the trailer, such as the almost constant low key lighting that suggests the dark nature of the characters and the rather creepy sound vocal in the background all signify to the audience that the characters wont be your conventional "goodies". 

Cast wise I think it would be fair to say that the characters Mis En Scene would stereotypically appeal to a more masculine audience.

Setting

A variety of locations are shown throughout the trailer, all of which are in low key lighting and are all locations that contain conventions of a criminal theme, for example the first part is set in a candle lit restaurant with the outside set dark and rainy, this reminds me of a godfather style Mafia meeting.

   

  

The next important setting shown in the sequence is the prison, now this is important to imply to the audience that the characters are criminals despite being the protagonists. The prison looks considerably more concreted and built up then your usual prison and there is a troop of guards taking point, this clearly implies that whoever is in this prison is dangerous.

The rest of the settings presented in brief snippets are a combination of urban environments and close quarter scenes all portrayed in low level lighting so the audience is sure to see that this areas are affiliated with negative actions.

Character Mise En Scene

The costumes worn by the characters in the trailer are based upon the characters in the Suicide Squad comic book, although there has been negative feedback from the fan base in regards to how well the film actors and costumes correspond with the comic, Will Smith especially:

    

The female character "Harley Quinn" is represented in a sexualised "psycho-fem" style, this means she is presented with some feminine attributes such as her use of weapons and threatening behavior, whilst also being presented as promiscuous and sexualised. This sort of style of feminine Mise-En-Scene is typical for what you'd find for female protagonists in these type of films.

All the main protagonists in this film are all villains, this undermines Vladimir Propp's film theory about the character roles. All characters are presented in comic based costumes. These costumes all have connotations of wrong doing and evil, such as dark colours, tattoos, vicious weaponry props and rugged clothes.

  Camera

This extreme long shot/establishing shot is used in the trailed to highlight the threat posed by the figure shown in the distance. The establishing shot shows the cage the character is held in as very isolated from the rest of the jail, this implies that the character held within is of special significance and danger. This is also shown by the culmination of tactically dressed men approaching the cage with caution.

This mid shot of the top of the character's head presents her as looking very menacing. The shot shows her as very isolated and troubled. Firstly this can be very obviously seen by the fact she's bathing in a pool of blood. It is also shown by the derelict look of the environment she's shown in. All this presents the character as a troubled individual and hints to her involvement in the narrative.

This long shot summaries the Mise-En-Scene of the film. Within it you can see the main character's in the film and their unique costume designs, and to really emphasise their evil persona you can see the dark, urban and rugged setting.
