Music Choices

Choosing music that fits the ambiance of the film was difficult as the choices on Incompetech where limited in the horror genre to fit the pacing of opening sequence the music had to move quickly to match the sequences pacing 

Here is the shortlist:

Preliminary Task

This is our groups preliminary task, the clip is showcasing a wide variety of techniques for example the shot reverse shot. However when editing the video as it was my first time on Final Cut Express so I didn't know how to edit properly, however since then I have got some basic editing techniques which helped when editing this showcasing of shot knowledge. However analyzing the sound there are parts that are missing because the Director said action, also their are parts that don't match up this is due to a lack of technical know how. 

Day 3 of Shooting Preliminary

Day 3 of shooting we managed to get all the footage, though compared to the shots we wanted to get we unfortunately had to re-record it we misplaced the sequences on camera.

Day 2 of Shooting

Day two of shooting was productive as we achieved the shots we needed. However changes were made to the shots instead of doing on the road as it was noisy, we instead changed the shot to the garden as there was less noise plus the light created a silhouette which was an interesting effect as the focal point is the protagonist. 

Day 1 of Shooting

Shooting on day one was hard as some of the shots we had planned couldn't work in the production so we had to re-shoot until we got it right. The shoots we managed to shoot were two of the sequences on the story board as we couldn't do the establishing shot of the eye opening we had to medium-close up shot establishing the protagonist.

Proposed casting shots

As our opening sequence has only two characters that talk, they are the main characters- the protagonist doesn't have a  name this is important as this leaves the character without an identity.

Whereas the other character is called 'Jack'. I wanted to leave the antagonist J@ck and Jack as prime suspects of the harassing and stalking of the protagonist this leaves the main character drained, confused and delusional which is enhanced by the fact he has schizophrenia a mental illness that causes auditory and visual hallucinations which I think is a necessity in psychological thriller.

The antagonist J@ck and Jack is cast as me as we need to have the same physical attributes
