Filming Diary

On the day of filming, the actors turned up to the location at 12:00pm. We made sure everyone was in costume and sorted out any necessary props. Once we had done this we set about filming.

We decided to film the shots in chronological order because the events were supposed to take place in one day and evening, this meant that we had to film the shots in the right order so that the daylight for the shots were correct for example a shot of the morning had to be done in broad daylight however the sleepover scene had to take place at duck/ in the evening.

After we had finished filming we went home and then uploaded what we had filmed at school the following Monday. When we looked back at what we had filmed, some of the shots were not what we had hoped. This meant that we had to re-film some shots.

We then used the times we had left to film the remaining shots of Josh walking into the toilets with the book which didn't take long because our actor already knew what he needed to do.

When we then uploaded this, it fitted much better to what we had hoped so this was what featureed in our final film opening.

Rough Cut 2


Here is our Rough Cut 2. There have been some major changes to this rough cut compared to rough cut 1. We have taken out our first stalker scene and replaced it with a new one which we feel has more suitable props, lighting and location and overall works better for the film. We have taken out the through the window shot as we feel it didn't make much sense and also made the film look unprofessional. We have added titles now and we can see it coming together more and more, all we need to add now is music and tweak some editing.
-Jenna

Rough Cut 1


This is our first rough cut. We have not yet added titles or music but have edited the clips to ensure that they are suitable and taken out any unwanted shots. We have got the rough copy of how the film opening will run but are still improving it. Overall at this stage of our work we are happy with the outcome of the first rough cut and can see it coming together.

List of Scenes in our Film Opening

Scene 1: The first scene will be the three girl characters walking along a road and saying hello to our main male character. We then see the main female character turn round and smile at the main male character and he turns back to smile at her. We hope this shows a relationship forming between them.

Scene 2: The second scene is the three girls all sitting on the bed together talking about different subjects.

Scene 3: The third scene is of the girls sitting on the bed together still but this is a shot of the outside looking through the window to the girls. This gives the idea that somebody is watching them.

Scene 4: This scene is of the main female character received a text saying 'you look good in pink'. The other girls carry on talking but the main character looks scared and distressed at the text she has received.

Scene 5: There is a change In scenes here as we enter a room where a hooded boy enters so we cant see his face, holding  a book. He opens the book and we see photos of the main girl character in the book. He caresses the photos and lifts one up to kiss it. This presents him as being a stalker.

Scene 6: We are back in the room with the girls and the main female character says she needs the toilet. She then leaves the rooms and heads down the stairs and leaves the house. A black screen then appears with 'one year later' on it.

Final Casting Decisions

Lucy:
We chose Bethany Ironmonger to play Lucy in THAT STALKED YEAR. We felt she fitted the look we were looking for to play Lucy very well.  We wanted somebody that comes across as vulnerable and naive to the audience in order for them to worry and care about her and we feel Bethany plays this part very well. She fits the look we were going for with Lucy as well which is a blonde who is pretty and this is what attracts the stalker to her.

Josh:
We were unsure on who to use to play Josh in our film opening as we weren't sure how we wanted him to be. After some thought we decided Jack Jolly would be perfect to play the role of Josh. We feel he fits the role of 'boy next door' and we do not suspect him to be the stalker.

Amelie:
We knew from the offset that Ellie Fitch would be the perfect person to fit the role of Amelie. She is very similar to the character herself as we wanted her to love shopping which Ellie does and always interested in the latest fashions. Amelie is the closest to Lucy out of all the friends and Ellie and Bethany are good friends and this really stands out in the opening as there is chemistry between them.

Madison:
We chose Aimee to play Madison as they are very similar. Aimee is quiet and keeps herself to herself and this is how we wanted Madison to be. You can really see in the opening that the bigger characters are Lucy and Amelie whereas Madison who Aimee plays takes it in but says very little and we feel Aimee plays this part very well.

Film Locations

We have chosen to base our film at my house. To show the first shot we will use the road outside my house. It is the perfect place to film this as it is a straight road with a nice view and is quite so it is safe for us to film there. The next shot we used is my bedroom, any girly bedroom would have been suitable but as I have white walls I feel it made the room brighter therefore we didn't have to rely on lighting that would have made the shot more yellow. The next shot we used was a room that was being decorated at my house we think this is suitable as it is an empty room and gives off the stalker vibe. The final scene we used my stairs and hallway and front of my house. This worked well as it is all in one place and was easy to film also the lighting outside my house shows the time of day but also gives good enough lighting to show the shot.

We have decided to change the stalker shot. After placing the shot in our piece it is obvious the room is in the same house and also we feel it is too bright and does not look like the creepy atmosphere we wanted it too. We have re-done our shot in one of the school toilets. We feel this is suitable as it makes it looked even creepier and gives the feel of a thriller more than the bedroom. Also the lighting is more suitable as it is low key.

Organising Sound

We are muting the audio on a lot of our film opening and adding suitable sound over the top that links with the genre. This sound is in IMovie and has been stored there. The sound does need a lot of organising but we do need to run through the script a few times with the actresses to ensure they have their lines correctly.

Organising Props and Costumes

We had already made sure that we had all the props that we needed in the locations that we were filming in and we had given our actors a list of options, with pictures, of what would be appropriate for them to wear for filming. They arrived to the location wearing suitable clothes for their character and they closely resembled the pictures we had given them.

Once we had started filming, we had everything we needed to complete filming.

Final Props

Our Final props list included A book with pictures of Lucy that Josh is looking through and the furniture in the room such the bed which the girls are sat on and any bedroom furniture etc.

We decided not to include any ropes/ties of any sort as we thought that this would give away too much to the audience too soon. We also decided not to use any tables and chairs and felt it would be more appropriate for our male character to sit on the floor.

Costume Ideas

We have created a mood board and a page of ideas for each character to come up with ideas or costumes for our characters in the different scenes. We will upload our final choice of costumes for each character in another post.
 
In the sleepover scene they will all need pyjamas, we have decided to look at pyjamas that are similar (style-wise) to their clothes and each of their own styles for example 'girly' or 'alternative' or 'grunge' etc.
 
 

 This is Amelie's style. We believe she would wear more likely dresses than jeans and a t-shirt and most likely light/pastel colours, floral prints, ruffles and heels. Accessorised with jewellery and handbags. This shows her extravagant and at times, melodramatic personality.
 This is Lucy's Style. We believe she would predominantly wear casual clothes but still manage a glamorous look, this reflects her effortless popularity.
 Madison's style reflects her personality showing that she's not afraid to be different and does what she wants to do to a certain degree, she does not feel the need to impress others over her own desires.
 
The character of Thea would wear a 'preppy' smart/casual collection of clothes, again reflecting her studious attitude and guarded/formal nature.
 
 
Josh has two different outfit types. We see him as a normal boy attending high school with the girls and wears casual clothes, he appears quiet and sensitive, his modest personality fools the girls into thinking he's an innocent character. He is secretly obsessed with Lucy and becomes her stalker, when doing this, to avoid exposure, wears all black. A hoodie, black jeans/tracksuit bottoms and black shoes. This makes it harder for the girls to discover his identity.
 
These are some possibilities for the pyjamas that will be worn by the girls in the sleepover scene.

Audition Script

Lucy Auditions:
How do you feel you will fit the role of Lucy?
How will you ensure that we really see Lucys personality in THAT STALKED YEAR?

We are doing Lucys auditions first as we feel she is the most important character in the opening and we need time to ensure we have found the perfect Actress.

Josh Auditions:
How will you fit the role of Josh?
How will you ensure that you character comes across as the 'boy next year' and not the stalker?

We are doing Josh's auditions next as we feel he is also an important character in THAT STALKED YEAR and want to ensure that he comes across in the correct manner to ensure that the audience have no suspicions that he is the stalker.

Casting celebrities for The Stalked Year


Lucy Ford - Amber Heard (victim)

When I stumbled across Amber whilst researching into blonde actresses I knew that she was who we were looking for to play Lucy. She has a pretty face and looks innocent which is what we want. Her attractive physic will be one of the reasons why Josh becomes obsessed with her whilst fooling the audience into thinking that she is naïve and girly when in reality she loves to play mind games and holds a dirty secret.






Josh Carter - Carter Jenkins (stalker/kidnapper)

The character of Josh is tricky. At first we wanted him to be a quiet, "nerdy" boy you wouldn't suspect but after some thought we decided that would be too common so we went for a character who wouldn't be popular but not quiet, kind of like a "boy next door" kind of character. We chose Carter Jenkins to play Josh because he is exactly how we pictured the 'villain'. His good looks will make the female audience interested in the film and will trick them into thinking he is a nice guy.





Amelie Peters- Julianne Hough (friend #1)

Amelie is type of character to love shopping. Retail therapy is the best medicine when it comes to her. She is always wearing the latest designer brands. Amelie and Lucy have been friends since they were 5 years old which means that Amelie is the closest to Lucy than any of the other girls. Julianne Hough will be our Amelie because we think, just by looking at her, she fits the role of shop-o-holic and 'dumb' blonde, which is how Amelie is portrayed.





Madison Cavanagh -  Willa Holland (friend #2) 

Madison is a character who loves art. Her innocent look gives her a pure edge that lures people in. She is a painter and loves to paint portraits. She is quiet and keeps herself to herself which is why people wonder why she is friends with Amelie and Lucy as she is a complete opposite. We chose Willa to play Madison because she is how we would imagine someone to look who is quiet and is artistic.








Thea Jamieson - Maia Mitchell (friend #3) 

Thea is the type of character that everyone can't help but be fond of. She is smart and outgoing but knows what's right and wrong. She loves to solve things which is why she has to solve who took Lucy and why, with a little help from her friends. Thea has never got along with Lucy as well as the other girls have. Madison and Thea are better friends with each other than the others. Maia looks like a high school student which is one of the reasons why we chose her. She looks like an intelligent girl which is what we are looking for.








Cody Wilding - Ryan Guzman (Lucy's boyfriend)

Even though the character of Cody is not shown in the opening, he is shown later in the film. We pictured Cody as Ryan Guzman because he can be portrayed as a nice guy or a bad guy. We know that we want Ryan to play Cody as the heartthrob guy of the school. Lucy and Ryan are the 'it' couple which fuels Josh's jealousy even more. Ryan's attractive physic will attract females to watch the film.

Mise en Scene Considerations

The use of  Mise en Scene is important in our film opening. In the stalker scene we need the lighting to be low key and this is important so we have to decide on a location that has good lighting. We also need to ensure that you can see where the setting is using the shots as some of the shot are important like the fact the stalker is in a toilet. We have had to re-film certain parts of our film due to setting and lighting not being appropriate so we re-filmed to ensure this has been improved and therefore make a more polished professional film.
We have selected the style of our costume so we can show the personality of our characters through this.

Props

This is a Mood Board of ideas for props to use in our Film Opening. We will need various pieces of furniture in our location such as a bed, chair and a table.
To communicate the idea of suspense and an obsessive stalker, we have an old diary/journal that will contain pictures of the victim: Lucy.
 
We also included a bag that will contain items such as duct tape, rope, cable ties, a blind fold and a camera which will allow the audience to generate the idea that this character does not have good intentions.
 
A piggy bank is a possible option for a prop which could connote an interference with money later on in the film and also dolls which connote the idea of a false innocence and possibly a manipulation of the characters and the idea of a 'puppet master'.

Locations

 These are possible location we could use for the bedroom scene. They are girly bedrooms and therefore will be a suitable location for the characters in our piece.

 
 
 
These are possible locations for the street scene. It shows a surrounding and is a larger road that it not busy therefore it will be safe to film on.

Our Title

Our Title is THAT STALKED YEAR. We feel is suits the narrative/storyline of our film which is a girl who has been missing for a year and her friends have been stalked by the kidnapper for a year. It gives some of the plot away but not too much so people still want to watch the film to find out what happened. We tried "THE STALKED YEAR" but felt that it was a tounge twister and was not appropriate.

Institutional Logo


This is our chosen Institutional Logo. It has movement to it of the praying mantis moving its head. I feel that this suits our institution as it links in with the thriller and more dramatic and action films we plan to create and therefore gives a feel for the genre before the film begins.

Jenna's Institutional Logo


This is an institutional logo I created for our company; Praying Mantis Productions. This is actually a video but I can not show this on the blog. So I have a photo that gives an idea about the institutional logo.
 
 
-Jenna
 
 

Makenzie's Institutional Logo

This is the logo I created for our Production Company: Praying Mantis Productions. This is our third option when deciding on our final Institutional Logo.
-Makenzie

Sophies Institutional Logo

This is the institutional logo I made for our company; Praying Mantis productions. This is 1/3 options we can choose for our final logo.

-Sophie

Instituational Logos

Research on Institutional Logos

The institutional logo is the first thing we see before a film begins. The better the institutional logo the more the audience are likely to stay and watch the film. If the institutional logo is good and of high quality then the audience gets pre conceptions that the film is going to also be of high quality.  Researching different institutional logos will help us come up with out finalised institutional logo and help us understand the importance of them.


The theme of the Universal institutional logo is space. It shows the world with Universal in 3D written across it. This gives the audience a feeling before the film that they are going to be taken on an 'outer world experience' and on a new adventure. The logo uses animation and bright bold writing, this makes it stand out but also makes it look professional and therefore we get a preconception of the quality of the film.
 
   
The theme of the MGM logo is a lion. The use of a lion connotes power and danger and this gives an insight into the films that they produce. The use of Gold connotes wealth and therefore gives the pre-conception that the film is going to be of high quality as we perceive MGM to be wealthy due to the gold.  The film strips on the bottom of the institutional logo connotes that MGM is prestigious and the use of film strips that were used with old cameras shows the mass audience that MGM has been established for a long time.
 
 
Warner Bros themes is the used of the sky with a shield in.  The use of a golden shield connotes power and wealth. It suggests to the mass audience that the institution is wealthy and of high status. giving preconceptions that the film is going to be of high quality and therefore making people want to see the film. The Warner Bros Entertainment logo is constructed to show a shield this connotes that they have authority within the industry and this connotes to the mass audience that their films may be better than the other films from other institutions. Also clouds are used which connotes dreams and how the film may transport them to another world.

The theme of the Paramount is the top of a mountain. The mountain could signify that Paramount Pictures are at the top of the industry and that they have reached their goal by producing high quality films. Upon seeing this institutional logo the audience may want to watch the film more as they are expecting high quality due to the logo. The stars could connote the institutions achievements and stars usually represent this. The clouds could also connotes a dreamlike journey you are about to undertake whilst watching the film and how the institution has created a journey for the audience.

The theme of the DreamWorks is a child sitting on a moon fishing into the clouds.  Yet again the clouds signify dreams and calmness, making the audience feel the film is going to take them on an adventure. The use of the moon connotes that they are better than the other institutions as they are above the rest.  The child sitting on the moon may imply that the institution aims their films at a younger audience.

 The theme of the Columbia institutional logo is the Statue of Liberty this could show that Columbia are situated and are very popular in USA. As noted above the clouds connote a dreamlike setting which implies that the film will take the audience on a dreamlike  adventure. The use of the statue of Liberty shows the institutions god like status, power and wealth which will make people want to watch their films as they believe it will be of high quality.  The light being held by the statue of Liberty shines on the title drawing attention to it showing its importance.
  The 20th Century Fox Logo is a statue of the companies name with search lights around. The fact that the 20th century fox logo is centre and a statue shows the company's power and wealth which therefore implies the success of the company and that it is worthy of being idolized.  The low angle shot of the Logo adds effect as it shows the company's status and their importance within the industry. The use of search/strobe lights suggests they are linked in with celebrities and people of importance as they are usually associated with events and landmarks or importance such as the Hollywood sign.

Researching Institutional Logos will help us when we create our own logo. We can take aspects of different logos I have researched to create a logo that has a positive effect on the logo. We could include gold and clouds which seem to be a popular option within the institutional logo to entice the audience into watching our film. The institutional logo is the first thing the audience see's before watching a film and this gives a pre-conceptions of the film they are about the watch.

Our Characters

We have included 4 main characters in our film opening;


  • Lucy
  • The two friends
  • Josh
We included these characters because the narrative is based around Lucy's disappearance and Josh plays a very big part in this so the audience need to decide these characters and see their relationships with one anther right from the beginning in order for them to be an active audience and take part in predicting the ending and what will happen through out the film.

The other two friends play a part in finding Lucy and uncovering what happened to her so they also need to be represented from the beginning.

These are our characters/The actors that played our characters in the order shown above.

Attracting the Audience

When considering how we would attract an audience to watch our film, looking at other film openings helped. By looking at other film openings we could see what generic conventions were included to encode the genre for the audience.

Another helpful aspect of watching other film openings of a similar genre meant we could determine what sort of content should be included in the opening two minutes as we don't want to give away the entire narrative however we want there to be enough in the opening for the audience to want to see the rest of the film.

Using non-diegetic music in the opening also highlights to the audience the genre of the film which will attract the audience and make them want to continue watching because if the genre of the film opening is too ambiguous then the audience may not be able to follow what's happening and they may not want to sit through the rest of the film.

Using the uses and gratifications theory attracts an audience that will enjoy a thriller film, this means that they will be active in watching the film and want to predict the storyline however in order to do this we would need to include generic conventions that could be linked and encoded into signs for the audience to decode. This is used i lots of thriller film openings.

Certification of Our Film

We rate our film a 15. We rate this as there could be some rick of potential harm to impressionable teens if they try stuff at some that may be included in the film. There is a possibility of strong  violence in our film. We will not dwell on the infliction of pain or injury however.

The following may be included in our film and therefore we feel it is suitable to make our film a 15 certification to ensure that the audience viewing out film is suitable: 
  •   strong violence
  •  frequent strong language (e.g. 'f***').
  •   portrayals of sexual activity
  •   strong verbal references to sex
  •   sexual nudity
  •   brief scenes of sexual violence or verbal references to sexual violence
  •   discriminatory language or behaviour
  •   drug taking

Title Timelines

From researching titles in the opening of films we have found some similarities.
All of the films start with an institutional logo and then go into the films. They tend to have an introduction for example 'DreamWorks pictures presents...' and then the main leading actors that star in the film. We then get the title of the film in a bold font so it stands out, after the title there are other actors that star in the film but that have more minor roles.
Typically the following titles go in this order:
  • Visual Effects and Supervisor
  • Associate Producer
  • Unit Production Manager
  • Casting
  • Main Titles designed by
  • Special Effects
  • Stunt Coordinator(if needed)
  • Second Unit Director
  • Costume Designer
  • Editors
  • Director of Photography
  • Production Designer
  • Music By
  • Executive Producer
  • Written by
  • Produced by
  • Directed by

The Producer and Director always come at the end of the opening titles in any film opening if it is done in the typical way. Thrillers are the same as most film openings they will tend to have similar titles from the way they run. Despite this they may have different fonts that represent the genre more and the colour of the font may be different to represent the genre.

Research into audience figures of similar genres

This is what I found when researching films of a similar genre. I used two websites to look at six films to see how successful they were at the US Box Office and their budgets etc.



This will help us when creating our film as we can see what types of thrillers are popular and take aspects of this and use them in our film as these films are obviously of high quality.

Mind Map/Mood Board of Romantic Genre


This Mind Map/ Mood Board helps us to recognise generic of conventions in Romance Film. When considering the genre of our Film Opening, we will need to know what generic conventions to include.

We do not have the ability to film our film in locations like New York but it gives us an idea as to what out audience are looking for in Physcological Thrillers.
