PowerPoint Presentation

ideas Numero UNO :]

The idea for my short film was thought of by my filming partner sam.. She came up with the idea that there would be a young woman in a mental asylum and we could interview her. This originated from the film 'the ring' where the protagonist is filmed during an interview. We intend to film in a small room, preferably white and quite dimly lit as to create an effect of realism.

The audience will feel as if they are watching the daily activities of a mental institution patient through the CCTV system. There will also be an interview with the protagonist which will be cut up, during editing stages, and distributed randomly throughout the film.

Location Props Actors Etc..

Location,  location, location...
Simple location to be honest - Sam's house :)
We are going to use a small white room to emulate the look of a mental institution room.
We thought this would be the best location to film in because it creates an element of realism, the lighting is similar to that of a patients room as are the dimensions.

Props...
Working on a low budget here guys *sad face*
Soooo all we intend to use is different types of lighting, to create different effects on screen.

• A patterned lamp 
• A touch sensitive lamp 

Actors...

Due to the simplicity of the film, only one actor (actress) is needed... So desperate times call for desperate measures.

Queue Samantha Sullivan who shall play the role of Rebecca & Alexander Mckenzie as the interviewer who shall not be seen!

That's All Folks!

Synopsis - LOL :)

Ever wondered what happens within those padded walls?
London's notorious Western Mental Institution hosts many of the worst cases across England. Rebecca, a husband-murdering woman is to be allowed a once in a lifetime interview.

For the first time a camera has been allowed inside the institution, hear the shocking story about her horrific killing spree, see her daily activity and see life through the eyes of a patient inside the institution. A story of no regrets and no sorrow, you're left squeamish by her casual approach to death.

Short Film.. Where Am I??

I am currently going through the editing stages of my short film project. Fortunately, editing has been going quite smoothly, and I have therefore accomplished more than I had previously estimated. My idea has changed slightly from what was originally planned; this was due to me and my filming partner working separately on the project in order to achieve better grades.  Not too much has been changed though – a young girl with schizophrenia is still the protagonist, its just how I portray the girl and the order the shots have been cut up. I think the editing that I have already completed, but still inted to work on, looks visually interesting and works well. There are a couple of things I still need to include in my short film before the deadline comes:

·         

 I have to contact Fidel to produce a music track that samples ‘Innocence’ by Nero – this is to be used for the opening establishing shots of the film.

·         

 Cut the shots to the beat of the song

·          

Add effects to the timeline, after it has been completed – this includes adding the time to the screen in order to get the CCTV affect

·          

I also have to produce titles that can be added to the beginning and end of the film
