Costumes

Costumes / Characters & their basic background - Done by Chelsea

The first character we see is a young woman (around the age of 30-35), she appears on the screen within the first 10 seconds of the opening sequence. We have looked at her character in great detail so that we are able to analyse the evaluation questions and we can look into the idea of stereotypes of women by analysing the representation of gender through our opening sequence. This character is the only female in our sequence. We have pictured her to look like the image below. We also hope to convince Miss Wilson at the school to play this character.

We are also introducing a character which plays the woman above's husband. Hoping to be played by Mr. Smith however we only hear this characters voice. At no point do we see or meet this character.

The second character that actually appears on the screen is being played by Aman in our group, this characters journey begins as we see him exit a train and continue walking. We imagine his costume to look along the lines of the image below.

As Aman's character exit the train, he continues walking and as see him glare at another character as he walks out of the train station, it is dark outside (POV shot), here we meet out 3rd character on screen , this character is a young white male appears to be around 20-30 years of age. When we meet this character, he is smoking outside of the train station and we see him glare over to Aman's character, a close up shot or a POV shot (still undecided)  here we are making the audience aware that there is already some sort of conflict between both of these characters. The character paying for the coffee - we imagine to be costumed like the image below.

We see a drunk man walking down an alley as our next character, he is seen to be obviously dangerous and just by this short scene we notice that this character is going to play a big part in the sequence. He has clearly been drinking a lot and appears to be an alcoholic, we want him wearing a white short with no jacket or coast but we want the shirt to be completely dirty as if h has been wearing it for days, holding a beer bottle, the audience can interpret that this character could be an alcoholic and it makes the scene seem tense. As you can see from the image below; this is what we want our character to look like.

The final character that appears in the scene, appears outside of the house where the poker game will take place. this character turn up in a speeding car that skids as it appears outside of the house - at this point in time we still do not know what costume we want this character to be wearing but we know we want him to be different from the other characters. This will be a job distributed to one of the other members of my group over the half term.

We will be updating the drivers choice of clothing soon

weekend shooting

Scene 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 me Luke priyanka and Luke will be filming on sunday at ubxbirdge station, i will be in a suit and tie and luke will be in smart trousers shirt and a hat. This could connote me and Luke are important as we are wearing formal clothing. Also towards the end me and Luke look at each other and we will use shot reverse shot to show emphasis and tension throughout as the audience will know we are going to the same place and both off us know it.



























Scene 10, 11 and 12 Chelsea will be filming using her friend as the drunk man walking in the ally way near her house, the man will be wearing ragged clothes and carrying a bear bottle and acting drunk to imply that he is an alcoholic which is another stereotypical view and this will keep the audience guessing as they know all these people will be going to the card game which daisy has poisoned the drinks

First day of filming

Our first scene went quiet well but we did not get all of the first scene done as the timings were abit rushed, the camera shots need to be done again also as we didnt know what angles were best so we done different angles so it would allow us to have a range of footage from us to edit and which ones work best would be used. There is a clip of daisy smiling or giggling so we do need to film most off it again. Also the part when daisy is pouring the poison in the glass is out off focus and the camera angles are not precise and perfect. We started filming on wednesday 26th and will film again on the 28th of friday.

Due to daisy not having the same clothing we have postponed the shooting of this scene till after the weekend when daisy will be free for the longest period of time so we can take our time to shoot the scene with the best acting and best camera angles.

We do need to think about - lighting when we film again
                                           - is the camera in the right angle, can you see everything
                                           - is the camera shaking
                                           - 

storyboard

This is our storyboard done by chelsea. The first 3 pictures are from the actual filming of the scenes, this will give us an overall help with when editing what order to put the scenes in, the last 2 pictures are the title sequence which Luke will be doing, the idea is to have the title sequence as a type writer effect as this is more unusual and will grab the audience.

Staff room - filming scene 1

This is the pictures of the first scene we did, this is where daisy (the host of the card game) starts making and cooking the drink, we then see stereotypical wife cleaning the kitchen and who we assume to be her partner or husband shouting out hurry up their coming, she then puts something in the drinks which the audience could interpret to be poison and puts it on the tray. This is a very good opening scene as it draws the attention from the audience straight away as they do not know why or who she is going to posion.

Title Sequence - Typography

Luke is working on the typography and analysing the different ways of doing the text. We have decided to use Lucky typewriter effect, font size - 60pt. They are all capital letters and as a group we have decided to have a typewriter effect as it will different from everyone else's and will be very original.

Camera angles

Props and camera angles

In this Post I have captured a few examples of camera angles we can use within different scenes. they all have a different affect:


This is an image of a high angled shot, this could be shown to emphasise one character being inferior. Another use of this camera angle, is to make the character look a lot smaller, again resulting in with the same conclusion that the person under the camera is insignificant.

This is an example of a low angled shot. This shot makes the object/person look larger and more significant. Has the opposite affect of a high angles shot

This is an example of a mid shot, this shot is used to give the audience a sense of real life. This type of shot would make one feel as if they are watching it happen in real life.









This is an example of a long shot. This shot is used to prompt the audience to be aware of the set around them. It also gives off the idea that the scene is moving from one location to another.

The script

Mrs wilson : So who's coming to the game tonight (then puts poison in drink, and makes eye contact with Jones)

Mr Jones: King of aces (while he says it the camera goes over to king of aces Aman- voice over)

aman walks up staires and makes strong eye contact with guy sitting in cafe having costa

cuts from Aman to guy sitting at cafe and Mr jones then introduces him as Jack of spades

camera cuts to ally way where drunk guy chucks bottle at wall and Mr jones introduces him as the joker

guy comes out off car and Mr jones introduces him as ace of diamonds
