New idea

We have filmed almost all of our new idea and have edited up to 2 minutes out of the 3 minute and 16 second song 'Heathens" by twenty one pilots.

We will continue to film the final pieces of our music video this week as we aim to complete it by Friday 10th February.

We aim to complete it by then so that we can begin our evaluation questions and our ancillary texts.

Change of idea

We changed our idea from a short movie to a music video. We did this because we weren't confident in our idea and as we explored the music aspect we became more interested an thought of better ideas that we were more motivated to do.

We then decided on the song we wanted to do a music video about. We both enjoy listening to twenty one pilots so we listened to some of their songs and then decided on which one we wanted to make a video for.

We chose the song "Heathens" from the film Suicide Squad because we felt as if we had developed a good idea for the video that matches the theme of the song.

Production idea

Stalker is presented as the boyfriend from the start

Washing hands of blood and washing a knife, audience may believe it is just ketchup or something

Over the shoulder of him looking out the kitchen window with a pitchfork or shovel stuck in the ground

Then follow his journey to the girls house

Put on the supposed dead boys clothes

Stand on watch and put it on

Text asking 'when are you coming'

Then the storyboard sequence minus the boy because he is dead

Text conversation, loved up turns blunt

Fling the doors open and don't close them

Freya opens the door and you walk straight up the stairs and she questions why you arent answering her, then over the shoulder shot, freyas reaction then black screen then scream.

This is a brief production idea where I have just expressed ideas for my final production.

Plot

OUR FILM PLOT

The plot for our film is going to start with a boy/man walking in a dark road with a few dimly lit street lights.

He will be texting someone (girl) that he is on his way to meet.

However as we film the actor walking towards us we will see a black figure in the background following him.

That figure will proceed to catch up with the actor and attack/murder/assault him. He will then take his phone and continue texting the person (girl).

She won't have any idea about what has happened so she will welcome this person into her home.

She will leave the door unlocked and request that he just walk in.

Then we will have a shot where we see the man creep up on the girl and no one knows what happens next.

The screen will go black and there

Project planning

Over the last week we have been doing our project planning in our group. For project planning we have discussed genre of film we want to produce and the ideas of how our film. We have decided that we will make a thriller with the edginess of a horror. We will make the adjustments to our mood board because we previously planned to do a cryptic horror film.We have discussed locations and actors because we want to be as organised as possible in order to meet our deadlines with a high quality piece of work.



We decided to try a different genre at A2 compared to AS. At AS we chose an action genre so for A2 we thought we would try and make a thriller film.



Our rough film plot is a boy visiting a girls house when an unknown person confronts/abducts him. The unknown person then continues the text conversation the boy and girl were having. He lets himself into her house and goes up top her room to find her. It is a rough idea which we will experiment with and change/adds things to our film.



We will need to discover the best location for our film to be shot. We will most likely need to use many different locations.
