Filming - Container shoot.

Today we filmed the portion of our short film that takes place within the container (filmed at college). Having bought all the bought all the props and set them up in the way we decided on arranging we were able to film the scenes as close as we could to the way in which we wanted to like in our storyboards.

We were able to film all the scenes need today as part of the flashbacks needed for our short film. Today we also decided that we will be filming on the 2nd of November and will re-shoot the scenes we need as part of the footage that takes place in the forest.

Filming Forest shoot #1

Today we filmed our first portion of the footage needed for our short film. However towards the end of the shot the footage we filmed became dark and then to dark to actually see therefore we have decided to film these dark scenes again however we have not yet decided which date this will be.

Filming dates.

Today we have decided that tomorrow (Saturday 26th of October) will be our first forest shoot where we plan to film all the scenes from forest section of our short film as the weather will be a good condition to film in.

We have also planned with the caretakers to use the container located on campus on the 29th (during half term) where we aim to get all of the container scenes done as we would only like to film on this location once as it is not as easy to take along all the props as it is with the forest.

Making of Main Article

Using photoshop i have created the top half the newspaper article with both the headline and image. I have decided the article will be in black and white which will help it look more realistic and fit in with the other newspaper cuttings.

Here i have made the background black, which will make the article and its details stand out against the white box at the bottom where the written article piece will sit.

In this updated version of the main article i have placed the article previously written over the top in the designated white box. Here i have added small details to make it look more realistic such as a caption underneath the picture and who the article was written by though the name used is fake.

Here is the final version of the main article that will be used during the scenes that take place inside the container on the evidence board. In this slightly updated version from the last i have made sure all the text and image are lined up and have also added underlines underneath the article headline as existing newspapers do this to draw more attention to the headline.

Container Arrangement and Props

We have produced a floor plan of how we plan to layout our props for filming that takes place inside the container.

The 2 main props we will be using in the container sequence include:

Wooden Table: On this table will be a surgical tray laid out like the tray pictured below (as seen in films. This tray will be used to signify the prepartion of the body.

Evidence Board: The evidence board will be used to show the audience that the vigilante killer, is a vigilante killer through its use of newspaper articles and the red crosses through them showing they have been 'deal' with. The board has been produced by finding newspaper articles and arranging them in a certain order to look as if they had been connected.

List of Props for container sequence

Here we have created a list of the props we will need when shooting the container sequence of our short film (29th of october) all of which we have ready to be used.

Article Layout

From the three possible layout choices we have decided the use the 1st as we feel it will look the most realistic by fitting in with the other newspaper articles that will be used in the same scene.
