Research and Planning- Diary Post

Today my group and I started on the first bit of filming, Matt was unable to attend so we just kept the filming to a minimum and took shots of the establishing shot and our location. I will be uploading these photos onto my blog in the next couple of days. The next time we are planning on starting to film will be on Tuesday 17th.

Research and Planning- Script

Below I have created a rough outline of the script that we will be using however, as we are filming a teaser trailer we may have to cut out a few of the lines to make it all fit together and also as we are planning on having a voice over we may not need as much dialogue.
(Emma and Matt's eyes meet as they see eachother on the station platform)

(Emma sits down on the chair)

(Matt walks towards Emma and sits down on the chair next to Emma)

Matt: Hi there
Emma: Err Hi, sorry but I couldn't help but notice you were staring at me

Matt: (looks a little akward) I couldn't help but not notice your natural beauty

Emma: (Smiles and laughs) thank you

Matt: Sorry i've embarressed you, it's not everyday that I'll come across someone so beautiful

(Emma does a nervous laugh)

Matt: It would kill me if I didn't get your number
Emma: Yeah ok, sure (writes down  number)

(Matt get's his phone out)
Matt: I'll text you
(Emma walks towards an alley way leading towards the woods)

(Matt texts Emma saying 'get home ok? x')

(Emma replies to the text 'Yes I did thanks x')

(Emma notice's Matt standing outside her house)

Emma: Er hey, how did you know where i live? Come in...

Matt: Oh thanks I will, I brought you some flowers

Emma: Take a seat in here, I'll just be a second

(Emma is on the phone to a friend)

Emma: You will never believe it, I met a guy and he's so nice, you will never guess how i met him

Emma: Yeah I think I am starting to fall for him, but yeah I guess it is early days

(Emma drops phone)

Emma: AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH

(Matt walks towards a girl who is starting to walk up the alley way, she drops her keys as their eyes meet)

(Matt and the girl bend down at the same time to pick up the keys, their eyes meet again but this time for longer)

Girl: Errr thanks

Matt: No problem

Diary Post

Today in our lesson we have discussed where we are at in our research and planning. We have decided that we will move on to filming asap as we have finished almost all of the tasks on the lists. This year we want to start filming earlier so we have more time to edit the film, cosequentley producing a film of a higher standard then last years. We will go to Emma's to start the filming and hopefully have some footage to look at next week so we can go from there.

Research and Planning- results for question 5

Results for question 5;

By looking at these results, it surprised me that people prefer a stereo typical character, where as I thought that someone new and unpredictable in a horror film, would have an audience more intrigued and amused as the character would be new to them, and the audience would be drawn to what they may do.
