PRODUCTION DAY 1 : First day of filming.

Managing to get one third of the filming finished today, there was some great camera work done by Alex. Rob helped push Alex down the corridor  n the wheelchair, whilst he propped the camera. There was one problem, Kieran got dressed up for his scene, which we didn't have time to film today. We'll leave it for next lesson.




This scene was of my character, wondering around the room that he was trapped inside.

The Camera is in the top corner of the room, filming as though it is a security camera aka CCTV.

A close-up  of the box, and me opening the door, using manual focus really perfected the shot for us.

Health and Safety

We had to go and fill out a form about the risks and hazards there were about the locations we had to film in.

The Story Board.

We finished the story board within two lessons. Nothing too major, it took some time, it was me and Alex that had to come up with the shot angels, as camera man, and me, as the director. Rob and Kieran focused on the the opening titles and the end credits + after effects.

The Props list.

We have decided to make the bad guy, the grim reaper/vampire styled character is going to wear a suit instead of a cloak, to make him seem much more mysterious. 

I'll be wearing casual cloths, plain white shirt, black jacket, black jeans. 

The initial idea for my outfit was to have me wear a shirt and tie, to give me that much more formal look we needed, but it wouldn't work if me and the vampire-like character both wore formal outfits, so we have gone with a casual look. 

The torch is there to show that I work within the building, there would be a reason why I have that torch, because the last half of the film is me, in the dark.

The Target Audience.

This is the type of person/character we have aimed our video to be viewed by, somebody who watches a lot of action/inception styled movies.
Spends a lot of time on the internet, and listens to heavy music + eats fast food.

My Mood Board

This is a photo collage/mood board of Trapped. It is going to be a paradox, it isn't a horror, but more of a spook/inception type short film. You make of what the story line is, it gives you hints, you decide for you self.

The Test. My Result is "Indie Scenester.

I have done the FindYourTribe test, resulted to the below. I'd say it isn't completely accurate, but somewhat close (in my opinion). 

Tapt, the initial idea.
