P1-03 : THRILLER PROJECT 2007/8

feedback from animatic

most of the feedback was positive. we mentioned the fact that a few of our shots have changed also that the music on the animatic wasnt made to be for the real thing.

we were also told that the story board could have been a bit clearer.

we will post tyhe new storyboard to give a better idea of what we are actually doing.

animatic




This is our animatic. the story board is not precise as we have made some changes to some of our shots hopefully making them look slightly more professional.
the music is not necessarily what we hope to use.

major change to the film title!

after deciding that the title; mustache man was too comical we have changed it to, mustache.

after changing the title we came up with the punn of must-dash and thought we could include this in some way but then decided that was too comical as well.

therefore, our film is now simply called, MUSTACHE.

new titles

i have found a new video which contains loads of different title sequences.the only problem is that they are horror sequences , however it gives us enough inspiration to get a good idea on how we can create titles to go with our video.

team photos

before we started taking pictures of our storyboard we thought it would be a good team building exercise to take some group photos.

feedback on pitch

we presented our pitch to our class and the feedback that we received was mainly positive. people thought that our idea was good and that it could work quite well. they also said that we will have to be careful of the age of actors that we use so that it doesn't become unbelievable.
also, the mustache should be a disguise instead of a mans actual facial hair as this may be more realistic and less comical.
we are now considering on using a daytonight filter which will allow us to shoot footage during the day but change it to look asif it was shot at night once we have loaded it up onto the computer

story boards

after finalising our idea we drew each shot how we wanted it to look like. hopefully others would be able to tell what we mean by them. the story has become quite precise with what we want it to be. however, the storyboard does not show every single shot that we hope to include in our opening titles as there will be so many of them

pitch

we hope to create a thriller that contains two main characters. one of these characters will be the "baddy" and the other will be the victim.
the victim will be tied up in a secret location away from the public eye. he/she will be tied up using rope or duck tape.
our idea is that the person who has tied the victim up is on the way to see them and is possibly on the phone to a friend/member of the victims family to demand a ransom. while filming the man who is not tied up we hope to keep his identity a mystery by only giving little clues to who he is and why he has done this. we will show his feet, eyes and hands but nothing else.

location: forest. stable. chicken shed. garage.

props: duck tape. heavy shoes. some kind of chair? possibly a stool. mustache.

title: mustache man.

costumes: man who is tied up = suit (possibly a suitcase around him... the reason he has been tied up?)
man who has done the tying up = a scary hat. heavy shoes. black coat? black trousers. (fisherman?)

sounds: foot steps, door opening, people being hit, heavy breathing. fast and dramatic soundtrack made using garageband. drums, guitar, electronic sounds.

Catch me if you can opening title



The opening sequence of "Catch me if you Can" is very good. From what i can see there are some parts that look similar to the opening titles of Psycho.
The music works very well with the genre of the movie.

josh's title research



This is the opening titles to Casino Royal.
I think it is good because it gives the impression of a casino to go with the name.

michelle learning to use Final Cut



To create this video i used Final Cut for the editing. While using the program i learned how to create transitions and effects, how to fade shots in and out, add titles to the video and also how to zoom in on a certain part of the video as it is playing.
To add a soundtrack to my video i used garage band. Once i had created a piece of music that i was happy with i added it to iTunes and imported it to Final Cut to add it to my video.
Finally i exported the entire video that i had made by using QuickTime conversion so that i could upload it onto this blog.
