CARLY.1.Things aren’t always what they seem.

I suppose one little bit of advice wouldn’t harm, i guess only you can choose whether or not to put it into action. A best friend is meant to give you advice that you can put in to action as she knows what will be best for you, a doctor is meant to give you lots of options as advice and you yourself choose which is best.

Who knew that a website could change your life, the people that you think you trust the most turn out to be the people who are out to get you. Now that little square thing that sits in the corner of my bedroom owns me, and the little square buttons set me off. What started off as an innocent conversation, rapidly developed into an obsession.

My Proposal

The Voices are always in your head. If you want the next big selling film then chose mine. The Voice is a horror/thriller film which is guaranteed to get everyone’s eyes popping out of their heads and screaming till their hearts stop.

I intend to create a tense atmosphere during the film to create an eerie outlook. It will make your teeth grind and your skin shiver but it’ll be the best film you ever see. The Voice reaches out to a target audience of 16+ Boys and Girls. This is a very broad audience which I think is the best way to make a film; therefore it’s available to a wider range of people. This way it will make people happy because it isn’t a set target audience. Although I doubt people in their 70’s and 80’s will enjoy this film as it is quite traumatic and bloodthirsty. I will reach out to my target audience by using younger protagonists and it will be a modern based film.

The Format and Structure of the film is that it will be based on Big Brother, although it won’t be the real big brother. It is going to be a house full of young, to middle aged women whom are all in there for a reason. We find out later in the film that the reason their in there is too kill each other. They are all up against each other and no one knows who their real friends and their real enemies are. The person who somehow manages to get the most people dead will win the Big Brother Show. Although it may sound un-realistic… what horror is these days? The Voice has tricky ways to get people to plunge to their death, whether it’s risky tasks or a sneaky secret mission. The other girls are all involved with one person’s death at a time but the victim has no idea.

The team I will be having for my film are very well organised, skilled and have been surrounded by Media/ Film all their lives. They will be using top of the scale camera and lighting equipment. We will also be having many different top notch companies to help produce the film to the best it can possibly be, e.g. sound etc.

If you chose my film, You won’t be disappointed.

Research & Planning- Saw

Saw.

Release Date:  1 October 2004
Genre:  Horror, Mystery, Thriller
Director: James Wan
Awards: 4 wins & 8 Nominations.

Plot Summary.

Two men wake up at opposite sides of a dirty, disused bathroom, chained by their ankles to pipes. Between them lies a dead man loosely clutching a hand-held tape player and a handgun. Each finds a tape the perfect fit for the player in their back pocket. They play the tapes. One is threatened, the other isn't. But they have a task: One must kill the other by 6:00, or his wife and daughter will die. They find hacksaws in a toilet, and try to cut the chains, but it doesn't work. They are the two newest victims of the Jigsaw Killer. In a flashback, we learn of Amanda, a girl who falls victim to the Jigsaw Killer. On her head is a mask, which is hooked into her lower jaw. There is a timer on it. Only one key will unlock it, and that key is in the digestive tract of her cell mate who lies paralyzed on the opposite side of the room. If she doesn't unlock the mask in time, her lower jaw will be ripped wide open. She survives, but her cell mate doesn't. Through a series of flashbacks, we learn of more victims, and of the nearly-successful capture of the Jigsaw Killer, who doesn't actually kill his victims. Instead, he finds ways to make them kill either themselves, or each other, and he thinks the entire 'game' out perfectly, with no other ways out. Or so it would seem.

Opening Sequence.During the opening sequence of Saw, we witness a man laying in a bath filled with water, he struggles to get out. There is very dim lighting; to create the feel like the lights are off, and then a character (Surgeon Dr. Lawrence Gordon) turns the brighter lights on. There is quite an eerie feel. The audience know that something bad has happened and is going to happen; the tension is unbearable as we see shots of puddles of blood and chains attaching the two characters to pipes at different ends of the room. The Mise-en-scene is made to make the bathroom look dirty, and grimy. It is made to look almost empty and dead which is what the characters are about to be seeing as they’ve gotten involved into “jigsaw’s game”.

Plot Summary.

Holly Kennedy is beautiful, smart and married to the love of her life - a passionate, funny, and impetuous Irishman named Gerry. So when Gerry's life is taken by an illness, it takes the life out of Holly. The only one who can help her is the person who is no longer there. Nobody knows Holly better than Gerry. So it's a good thing he planned ahead. Before he died, Gerry wrote Holly a series of letters that will guide her, not only through her grief, but in rediscovering herself. The first message arrives on Holly's 30th birthday in the form of a cake, and to her utter shock, a tape recording from Gerry, who proceeds to tell her to get out and "celebrate herself". In the weeks and months that follow, more letters from Gerry are delivered in surprising ways, each sending her on a new adventure and each signing off in the same way; P.S. I Love You. Holly's mother and best friends begin to worry that Gerry's letters are keeping Holly tied to the past, but in fact, each letter is pushing her further into a new future. With Gerry's words as her guide, Holly embarks on a journey of rediscovery in a story about marriage, friendship and how a love so strong can turn the finality of death into a new beginning for life

Synopsis

On a country road in Ireland over ten years ago, it was love at first sight for Holly, a lost young tourist (Academy Award® winner, Hilary Swank), and Gerry, a charming local lad (Gerard Butler). Hollys formidable mother, (Kathy Bates), disapproved of the couple, concerned that her spirited daughter was too young for marriage. In the years since, the once fearless Holly has become unsure of her own identity. When Gerry dies with a brain tumor and leaves Holly a widow just shy of her thirtieth birthday, her family and best friends (Lisa Kudrow, Gina Gershon) are concerned that she will never emerge from her takeout container-strewn Manhattan apartment. After weeks holed up watching old movies, a birthday cake and tape recording message from Gerry mysteriously arrives, marking the beginning of a series of letters instructing her to perform unusual requests. With the help of her girlfriends, Holly begins a year of wild adventures and a life journey that Gerry has planned for her, helping her to discover who she is without him and reminding her - p.s. I Love You.

Research & Planning- Monty Python & The Holy Grail

Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Release Date:  10 May 1975
Genre:  Adventure, comedy.
Director: Terry Gilliam and Terry Jones.
Awards:  2 Nominations.

Plot Summary.

The movie starts out with Arthur, King of the Britons, looking for knights to sit with him at Camelot. He finds many knights including Sir Galahad the pure, Sir Lancelot the brave, the quiet Sir Bedevere, and Sir Robin the Not-Quite-So-Brave-as-Sir Lancelot. They do not travel on horses, but pretend they do and have their servants bang coconuts to make the sound of horse's hooves. Through satire of certain events in history (witch trials, the black plague) they find Camelot, but after literally a quick song and dance they decide that they do not want to go there. While walking away, God (who seems to be grumpy) come to them from a cloud and tells them to find the Holy Grail. They agree and begin their search. While they search for the Grail, scenes of the knight's tales appear and why they have the name they have. Throughout their search they meet interesting people and knights along the way. Most of the characters die; some through a killer rabbit (which they defeat with the holy hand grenade), others from not answering a question right from the bridge of Death, or die some other ridiculous way. In the end, King Arthur and Sir Bedevere are left and find the Castle Arrrghhh where the Holy Grail is. They are met by some French soldiers who taunted them earlier in the film, so they were not able to get into the castle.

Opening Sequence

The credits are rolled to deeply worrying music with false starts, as well as apologies for the inadequacies of each. In the end, credits that are heavily llama-based are rolled, to highly festive Latin music. There is a foggy opening while we here the sound of horses galloping. You see two characters in the distance, “King Arthur” wearing stereotypical clothes such as a tunic and a crown. The other character being “Patsy” fulfilling the role of his sidekick. You see them become faced with a castle and Patsy mimicking the sound of a galloping horse stopping. The fog clears a little as we see two guards come into the picture. While we hear Arthur announcing he is questing for knights to join him at Camelot and wants to recruit the master of the castle.

Lighting Research

I have researched what kind of lighting there are and which ones me and Ali will be using to produce a really good opening sequence.

1.)    Background Lighting- We will be using this especially in some areas of the shots for example when she is typing on the computer, the background (the office) will be very bright.

2.)    Night Mode- When we are in Ali’s room shooting one particular scene we will be in darkness with no direct sunlight or any purpose lighting therefore we will be using Night Mode which will also create an eerie feel.

3.)    High-Key Lighting- We Will be using High Key Lighting to give off a happy yet awkward  feel when she is on the computer and when she is walking through the house, this is when there is a high contrast ratio, therefore making one particular part more obvious than others.

4.)    Low- Key Lighting- We will be using Low Key Lighting when Ali is in the bedroom; The camera zooms in on her face as she turns round and it is quite dark and has shadow on particular parts of her face. This is to show danger and the dark side of her.

5.)    Mood Lighting- We will be using Mood Lighting for example it is going to be really bright when she is on the computer laughing and talking to people. Although dark when she is in the bedroom screaming and having a fit.

These are all the lighting techniques I would like to use in our opening sequence. I think buy using these it will benefit us a lot and make it the best of our ability.

Some of the lighting techniques I would like to use are going to be difficult and may not be able to get them all done but I would like to try.

Evaluation

Throughout this whole task I think I have progressed a lot and I think that this task was an overall success. Although I face many difficulties through this experience, I also learned very much and think I have developed on my media knowledge and skills.

The group turning from a group of 4 into a group of 2 was the biggest issue me and my partner Alice faced. One of our team members left the course and the other decided he wanted to work alone. This left it down to me and Ali to do all the work, pre production planning and filming. Although we sorted it out like adults and managed to get passed it and knuckled down because we knew we had a lot to do.

I feel like I have worked really hard on this task, I have explored many different genres for my character representation, enabling me to dig deep and figure out what the main character in our opening sequence should be like what/who she should represent. In order to establish my Target Audience I carried out a Questionnaire. I then held the results in pie charts and came to the conclusion that our Target Audience were 16-18 Females who go to the cinema quite often. I took many forms and conventions into consideration during this task and though about mise en scene, costumes, Lighting, props, camera shots etc in every aspect of our film, helping to make it the best it could possibly be.

Where the equipment was concerned we didn’t use a tripod so we balanced the camera on steady surfaces that we could find around the house to get different effects within camera angles and movements. We rested it on things like ironing boards; this gave us a middle shot, a banister from a stair case; this gave us a birds eye view and a long shot, and many more. We used the camera well and used many different facilities for example zoom. We also used night mode which we were very impressed with. We experimented with a variety of camera shots and movements during this film for example tracking, long, middle, zoom, close up etc. This way we could see which looked better and we thought it’d improve our sequence and make it more interesting.

The group of 4 found it really hard to choose a story to use for the opening sequence, seeing as they were all really good. After a long debate and people putting forward their proposals we chose Alice’s story to use and we all felt we had made the right choice. Although we have done story boards, shooting scripts and screen plays, while filming we changed some of the aspects of the sequence. We did this to show that something’s did not work and were unrealistic and we had to use our own initiative to get around it and still make our sequence work. Something’s that did not work for example is particular flashbacks, for example “CSI tape” and “dust brushes”, therefore we stuck to doing close ups of the face in night mode, making it look as scary as possible.

I think that this task had a very good time limit, we had enough time to get all the pre production planning done, and the filming. Although due to so many step backs within our group, we didn’t get that long to edit, therefore I wish I spent more time on the editing then anything else, due to the fact we only really edited in 1 day. We used many different techniques on our editing section for example cutting, fading in for transitions, speeding parts up to make it go quicker therefore making it look more scary. I feel like I have become very familiar with Windows Movie Maker and feel comfortable using it now. If I had to redo this task I would definitely leave me with more time to edit and less time doing anything else. I would leave myself at least 4 lessons to make sure everything was perfect.  I feel like I have improved drastically from the preliminary task a lot. I feel that I am much happier and comfortable with cameras and now what camera shot’s and movements to use to make it beneficial for the sequence.

In theory I would have liked to use a better camera, one with focus, I think this would have had a better effect and a huge benefit on our sequence. Making it a lot better than it would have been. I feel like I’ve worked really hard on this project and put in a lot of my spare time to do things like; make sure the presentation was done and looked good. I also made sure I was present for most lessons, and that I’d only be absent if I was ill etc.

In conclusion I am very happy with the way our film has turned out, although in the future I would have definitely left more time for editing and more time for filming therefore making my sequence up to a higher standard. I feel that I have progressed and came along way from the preliminary into this task. I also feel like I have managed to develop and challenge forms and conventions of media products for example costume and mise-en-scene. Overall even though our sequence isn’t perfect, I think it is the best we could have done based on the fact we were a group of 2. We overcame a lot of issues and I feel like I have developed within myself and knowledge of media terms and products.

The Monitor- Shot List

Shot List.

I have made a list of shots which me and Ali will be using in order to make our opening sequence the best it can be. 

1.      Over The Shoulder Shot- This will be used to create great effect and by the camera being focused on something else it informs the audience that they should be listening because the camera isn’t focused on the main protagonist.

2.      Hand Held Shots- This gives the feel of self involvement, this shows that the camera is in fact somebody because there moving like an actual person.  This also gives off the feel that we as an audience are becoming the camera, we see things from our perspective.

3.      Tracking Shot- This follows the character around from one side of the room to another. We used this because it was almost like someone was following our main protagonist.

4.      Zoom Shot- This shot will be used to show importance and less importance within the character. The bits we zoom in on are clearly more important than the ones we don’t zoom in on. If we zoom out it’s because we want the audience to feel weary and that we’re backing away because of possible danger.

5.      Birds Eye View Shot- This gives us the sense that we are above the person for a reason, may it be danger. This also gives the audience a different angle to view from and will draw their attention.

6.      Close Up Shots- This is to show personal affection for the character, if she is upset or angry, the closer the camera gets the more sympathy we will feel for her. We are invading her space

7.      Long/Middle Shots- This shows we are distant from the character which could reflect on not getting too close for an apparent reason which they find out during the opening sequence.

Vladimir Propps Character Theory

He also concluded that all the characters could be resolved into 8 broad character types in the 100 tales he analyzed:

1. The villain — struggles against the hero.
2. The dispatcher —character who makes the lack known and sends the hero off.
3. The (magical) helper — helps the hero in the quest.
4. The princess or prize — the hero deserves her throughout the story but is unable to marry her because of an unfair evil, usually because of the villain. the hero's journey is often ended when he marries the princess, thereby beating the villain.
5. Her father — gives the task to the hero, identifies the false hero, marries the hero, often sought for during the narrative. Propp noted that functionally, the princess and the father can not be clearly distinguished.
6. The donor —prepares the hero or gives the hero some magical object.
7. The hero or victim/seeker hero — reacts to the donor, weds the princess.
8. False hero — takes credit for the hero’s actions or tries to marry the princess.

Vladimir Propps Character Functions

Functions

After the initial situation is depicted, the tale takes the following sequence of 31 functions:

ABSENTATION: A member of a family leaves the security of the home environment. This may be the hero or some other member of the family that the hero will later need to rescue. This division of the cohesive family injects initial tension into the storyline. The hero may also be introduced here, often being shown as an ordinary person.
INTERDICTION: An interdiction is addressed to the hero ('don't go there', 'don't do this'). The hero is warned against some action (given an 'interdiction').
VIOLATION of INTERDICTION: The interdiction is violated (villain enters the tale). This generally proves to be a bad move and the villain enters the story, although not necessarily confronting the hero. Perhaps they are just a lurking presence or perhaps they attack the family whilst the hero is away.
RECONNAISSANCE: The villain makes an attempt at reconnaissance (either villain tries to find the children/jewels etc.; or intended victim questions the villain). The villain (often in disguise) makes an active attempt at seeking information, for example searching for something valuable or trying to actively capture someone. They may speak with a member of the family who innocently divulges information. They may also seek to meet the hero, perhaps knowing already the hero is special in some way.
DELIVERY: The villain gains information about the victim. The villain's seeking now pays off and he or she now acquires some form of information, often about the hero or victim. Other information can be gained, for example about a map or treasure location.
TRICKERY: The villain attempts to deceive the victim to take possession of victim or victim's belongings (trickery; villain disguised, tries to win confidence of victim). The villain now presses further, often using the information gained in seeking to deceive the hero or victim in some way, perhaps appearing in disguise. This may include capture of the victim, getting the hero to give the villain something or persuading them that the villain is actually a friend and thereby gaining collaboration.
COMPLICITY: Victim taken in by deception, unwittingly helping the enemy. The trickery of the villain now works and the hero or victim naively acts in a way that helps the villain. This may range from providing the villain with something (perhaps a map or magical weapon) to actively working against good people (perhaps the villain has persuaded the hero that these other people are actually bad).
VILLAINY or LACK: Villain causes harm/injury to family member (by abduction, theft of magical agent, spoiling crops, plunders in other forms, causes a disappearance, expels someone, casts spell on someone, substitutes child etc., comits murder, imprisons/detains someone, threatens forced marriage, provides nightly torments); Alternatively, a member of family lacks something or desires something (magical potion etc.). There are two options for this function, either or both of which may appear in the story. In the first option, the villain causes some kind of harm, for example carrying away a victim or the desired magical object (which must be then be retrieved). In the second option, a sense of lack is identified, for example in the hero's family or within a community, whereby something is identified as lost or something becomes desirable for some reason, for example a magical object that will save people in some way.
MEDIATION: Misfortune or lack is made known, (hero is dispatched, hears call for help etc./ alternative is that victimized hero is sent away, freed from imprisonment). The hero now discovers the act of villainy or lack, perhaps finding their family or community devastated or caught up in a state of anguish and woe.
BEGINNING COUNTER-ACTION: Seeker agrees to, or decides upon counter-action. The hero now decides to act in a way that will resolve the lack, for example finding a needed magical item, rescuing those who are captured or otherwise defeating the villain. This is a defining moment for the hero as this is the decision that sets the course of future actions and by which a previously ordinary person takes on the mantle of heroism.
DEPARTURE: Hero leaves home;
FIRST FUNCTION OF THE DONOR: Hero is tested, interrogated, attacked etc., preparing the way for his/her receiving magical agent or helper (donor);
HERO'S REACTION: Hero reacts to actions of future donor (withstands/fails the test, frees captive, reconciles disputants, performs service, uses adversary's powers against him);
RECEIPT OF A MAGICAL AGENT: Hero acquires use of a magical agent (directly transferred, located, purchased, prepared, spontaneously appears, eaten/drunk, help offered by other characters);
GUIDANCE: Hero is transferred, delivered or led to whereabouts of an object of the search;
STRUGGLE: Hero and villain join in direct combat;
BRANDING: Hero is branded (wounded/marked, receives ring or scarf);
VICTORY: Villain is defeated (killed in combat, defeated in contest, killed while asleep, banished);
LIQUIDATION: Initial misfortune or lack is resolved (object of search distributed, spell broken, slain person revived, captive freed);
RETURN: Hero returns;
PURSUIT: Hero is pursued (pursuer tries to kill, eat, undermine the hero);
RESCUE: Hero is rescued from pursuit (obstacles delay pursuer, hero hides or is hidden, hero transforms unrecognisably, hero saved from attempt on his/her life);
UNRECOGNIZED ARRIVAL: Hero unrecognized, arrives home or in another country;
UNFOUNDED CLAIMS: False hero presents unfounded claims;
DIFFICULT TASK: Difficult task proposed to the hero (trial by ordeal, riddles, test of strength/endurance, other tasks);
SOLUTION: Task is resolved;
RECOGNITION: Hero is recognized (by mark, brand, or thing given to him/her);
EXPOSURE: False hero or villain is exposed;
TRANSFIGURATION: Hero is given a new appearance (is made whole, handsome, new garments etc.);
PUNISHMENT: Villain is punished;
WEDDING: Hero marries and ascends the throne (is rewarded/promoted).
