New scene to our film...

We have decided to add a new scene to our film to extend the footage overall because the overall footage of our film was too short for the viewing time it needed to be:

Office Scene 


This involves Andrew working in his occupation as an office Clerk. We see examples of his OCD showing his mental state starting to really take control. Such as organising his pens his papers and workstation.


Then we show matthew walking in and irritating  Andrew such as using his paper and making lots of noise.
We then see how something so minor can annoy Andrew giving him the instinct to murder....  

Poster design

For our poster design I have already done my own research. I will be taking elements from these and form them together with my own ideas. I will be annotating my finished design with ideas from other posters.

Ideas so far, image in the centre with Andrew holding the book. Patches will be faded to imply not everything is clear cut.

Poster Desgins

We are looking at doing a few different designs for our theatrical film poster including taking photographs of the characters and using a clear photo of the book/diary to fit the theme!

Houston we have a problem...

After filming the scene where Maria reads and writes in the diary, we initially thought that was the whole filming over and we could focus on the editing and putting in music, voice recording and sound effects to finally finish our short film. However, this is not the case. After looking into final cut express, we realised that even with the non included title sequences and credits we were way under the five minute mark. This led me to think of a new scene...

Even with the voice overs, there was still a key part missing that we hadn't realised earlier and that was the actual development of the character Andrew. Unfortunately we have very little time to film so we are focusing it into one longer scene and we have to work efficiently.

My idea is to have him go into work, I decided that he is going to be a journalist (the career I wish to choose also) I have the advantage of already written an article as English coursework and can use this on the computer screen to show his occupation.

This scene will show little obsessions such as lining up pencils perfectly etc and frustrated and angry when a colleague (played by Jordan Cockles) interrupts him whilst he's working and messes up his lined up pencils. As it's the same character that his killed in the park it gives a motive for Andrew to kill him (although it isn't actually Andrew killing him) rather than just a random killing. I'll devise a script and storyboard and worry about posting it later.
I'm also using the character that was killed in the park played by Jordan Cockles.
