Entire Script Put Together



Question 1

After viewing a range of different movies in the Horror sub- genre of Supernatural (see few deconstructions) we created a list of Pros and Cons for creating a supernatural horror ( See Pro's and Cons Page).  Our media product conforms and subverts the conventions of a Supernatural horror in many ways:
  • In horror movies alone: there is usually a death in the first scene, which we have conformed to in our media product, to immerse the audience into the opening, and clearly state the genre.
  • The death is not shown in full, which is common in Supernatural movies, as we didn't want to include a gore element, which is present in other sub genres.
  • The costume and make up conformed to that of a supernatural film, due to the alienation of the antagonist, which allowed the audience to pick up on the genre. 
  • The location of our media product was chosen (see blog post about location) due to it conforming to the location of a horror, as it was empty and deserted, with a idea of the protagonist feeling trapped within the location, with no way of escape, helped by the parallel lines within the tunnel, that will never meet, indicating he will never meet his way of escape. 
  • In supernatural films that I have seen, the victims are mostly picked at random, and have no connection to the supernatural entity, which I thought was a propitious decision, to conform to the conventions of a supernatural horror, but also to show that the threat is imminent and could happen to anyone. 
  • Although as it was in modern reality and in a place where people could ordinarily walk through, this showed our subversion, as it was not in a deserted location and was in the center of a city, making the threat seem more realistic.
  • Our main subversion was the characters, and the way that they are presented, as usually in supernatural horror's the antagonist is a young child who has been tortured, and has returned for revenge, but within ours we used a clown, which is usually shown as a joyous character, with a female actress, to subvert the expectations that the antagonist is always a strong male, or a young child, as we thought it would be more effective to our targeted audience. 
  • The protagonist was also subverted as we had one protagonist, who was a male, who was killed by the supernatural entity, which subverts the expectation of the male protagonist who is strong and always saves the females, as this appeared to be the same in quite a lot of supernatural horror movies that I had watched.
Question 2
  • Gender was the main focus in terms of area of representation within our piece as we chose to have a female antagonist and a male victim to subvert audience expectations of victim and killer.(MALE PROTAG BLOG POST)
  • To emphasize this gender division, we chose in terms of costume that although the clown should be heavily made up and in costume, she would wear her hair down and long to feminize the threat. (COSTUME POST)
  • We also chose to have our costume entirely covering our antagonist's body as not to sexualize her and confuse any specific stereotypical gender identity.
  • However, we also chose to select our victim as a teenager, partly due to the availability and ease to find an actor but mainly due the fact that the age relates to our target audience increasing the fear factor.
  • In terms of the CCTV filming, the clown is shot during the murder facing the audience allowing a more fearsome reaction due to the clown challenging the camera as it comes closer between shots, again subverting female expectations as it shows her strength and confidence as opposed to the expected weakness and vulnerability.
  • The power of the female in comparison to male is also again emphasized within the shots and editing used for the montage sequence as whenever shot together after the killing, the victim is on the floor whereas the clown is upstanding, structuring the power balance with her in control as an unexpected threat. This diminishes any barrier as a weaker female expected to be seen as a possibly caring and nurturing gender as no emotion is displayed apart from the sinister smile on her face throughout.

Question 3:
  • When choosing our production company, I researched a number of various companies and finally chose to produce ours as a Ghost House Pictures project. (FILM PRODO BLOG POST)
  • Ghost House Pictures have produced widely popular horror films targeted at teenagers and young adult horror fans such as the Possession and The Grudge.
  • Originally, I had difficulty making a decision between using Ghost House or another company largely dealing in Horror, Twisted pictures.
  • Although their main focus is primarily of our sub-genre, their plots often include possession which although I researched into it as a possibility, we chose not to use. (POSSESSION BLOG POST) Not including this feature within our plot therefore makes the Ghost House Company not entirely suitable.
  • Other companies researched have previously deal with high successful supernatural projects, such as Hammer (Woman in Black) and Twisted Pictures (Dead Silence) but do not have a distinctive direction towards the sub-genre
  • . I resulted in making my decision due to Ghost House's suitability as an experienced producer of the supernatural horror genre and their superiority in comparison to the other options researched.

Question 4+5 

After we finished editing the film opening, we decided that the appropriate age rating would be a 12 because the violence is there but not dwelled upon. This means that our audience would be teenagers from 13+
The ways in which we attracted and addressed the audience are as follows;
Firstly, when we were deciding upon important decisions, for example the name of the film, we created surveys on survey monkey that other’s could fill out. (Show survey blog post) We promoted the links ourselves, asking friends and younger family members to complete them for us. This would have helped to attract the right audience because all of the people that we asked to complete the survey were within the age for our target audience. We received a lot of feedback, which we took into consideration. This would have helped to attract the audience because the people that filled out the survey would have been eager to see what the finished product looked like and whether their suggestions had been taken into consideration.
We decided that the protagonist should be around the age of 16 so that the audience feels that they are more able to connect with the actor, attracting the audience because they would feel as if the film is of a level that they will be able to understand and relate to.
Part of the film opening was set in a college so the audience would be able to relate to the surroundings and all of the events that come with it.
This links to the location that we chose. (show location blog post) By using the tunnel in Greenwich, we are bringing the storyline into an area that many people would be familiar with. This would attract the audience because the area around the tunnel is where a lot of teenagers spend their weekends. So they would be attracted to the film by wanting to see what we have done in terms of the storyline.
Finally, we decided to use a clown as the antagonist. (Show clown blog post) When researching, I found that clowns are a phobia that is mostly found in children aged 4-16. This, obviously, fits into our age group. By playing on a fear that the target audience have would attract them because they would be anxious to find out how scary our film opening is. This can also be linked to the extreme close up shot of the clown after the death of the protagonist. 


Question 6

In terms of how we have developed in our use of technology, we have learnt a lot about different aspects not only of filming but also of the editing process, plus music creation. When filming we came across a few problems and therefore before fully setting into filming we decided to practice a few times before we set about doing it properly. We decided to make filming equipment such as using a household broom in order to get the camera into the top of the tunnel and therefore get the right angle into filming. (CCTV Footage Blog Post) We wanted to use a high angle in filming in the tunnel in order to conform with the conventions of CCTV cameras which usually films at higher angles in order to capture a wide area. We attached the camera to the broom through using the gorilla pod, which proved extremely useful in keeping the camera steady also when we were filming outside as well. In terms of filming in the dark we had to research the camera because it wasn’t picking up on any detail for example when we where filming the skyline of London.(Blog Post 3rd Location Visit) Therefore through researching the technology of the camera we discovered that there was an IA button which dealt with the problem as it would manually set the camera to the correct setting of filming in the dark. We wanted to film at a POV shot for the outside scenes as we wanted to see the journey from the protagonists point of view before it jump cuts to static. The point of using the POV shot is to put the audience in his shoes before taking them out of them and removing them from the death scene. Finally for the montage scene we used a series of different shots from close ups, to high angles, to extreme close ups, panning and wide angles. We have learnt a lot about using iMovie in the editing process from when we first used it in our Prelim.(Lily's Editing Blog Post) We have used a lot more of the transitional devices and also the editing techniques which you can use on the clip itself such as speeding the clip up or down, the effects, removing sound and adjusting the stabilization. This is most prominent in the montage scene where we cut the shots extremely short (mainly under a second) and then integrated short parts of the neck breaking throughout to show it as a death scene. We added the SCI-FI effect to each shot apart from the last as the colour green connotes the ideas of consumption and illness. The last shot has the clowns face half dark indicating that the protagonists eyes are closing and therefore death has struck.(Montage Scene Editing) The montage scene has a lot of the iMovie effects added to it through each having the sound removed and sped up along with a suitable effect attached in order to conform with the genre we have.  Through the editing process we where able to put in our terminology and therefore include a lot of jump cuts and cross cutting in order to make it flow but with a twist. Linear narrative and continuity editing run throughout as all events are carried out in the correct time and order.(Editing Sound to Film Post) Through editing we wanted to bring the element of fear and therefore paired it with the sound which was collected from different sources such as YouTube, own made and Sound Cloud which was then edited on a piece of software called Audacity. We spread the job of music out amongst each other in order to get more mixed views on what each part should sound like.(Final Music Choices Post) For example at the beginning we wanted more fast, paced and bass like music and therefore went for the drums however at the end we opted for a more silent atmosphere in order to emphasize on the death scene rather than have musical distractions. All Diegetic sound has been eradicated from the scenes because of the location sound being inadequate and therefore we decided that Non diegetic sound would have more of a effect. Each piece of editing which we did was consulted among all of us and therefore this meant that we all had a say in what we where doing in the entire process. Our knowledge of the technology has definitely improved by miles and therefore this means that by the end we felt much more confident in what we were doing and what parts of the editing software we wanted to use in order to create the correct effect. 


Question 7 

Chloe: Looking back at our prelim we have improved a lot in terms of planning, filming and consideration into our editing. One example of how we moved forward was through the initial design of the Storyboard. We have put in a lot more detail and terminology so that for each shot, which we filmed, it meant we knew what we were doing and how we were going to achieve it. By including more detail this meant that we went into filming feeling much more confidant when approaching the filming dates. We including shot by shot action of what was going to happen and therefore this meant that the planning was much more intricate and helpful. 

Lily: Again another element which we really improved on was the planning of what location we where going to use and what we where going to use in terms of props and costumes. For the location we decided to look a many different diverse areas such as Tunnel. Basement and a derelict area but finally settled on the tunnel due to the practicality. This shows that we have improved because for the Prelim we only had the use of the school facilities and therefore had to act quickly in order to find somewhere appropriate. This is also shown again in props and costume because for the Prelim we only had the choice of school uniform and any bags or props in which we could find in the short period of time. Whereas for the Film opening we could research different costumes and find the right one which was much more elaborate. We also had the balloons, which conformed appropriately to what we were doing due to the colour connotations and plot context.                                                         

Becky: Music also has been extremely improved on since our Prelim. For the Prelim we used the simple sounds, which come with the package of iMovie, and therefore we were not that creative in what we where doing because of the short time space we had; however the music still conformed and the heartbeat has been used in our film opening as well. For our film opening on the other hand I made original music and also of us took turns in order to edits and manipulate music showing that we stepped out of the box in order to create more along with the help of iMovie sounds as well. 

Lauren: Lastly we improved in the area of planning who would be suitable for our film opening in looking at who would be more appropriate in terms of age and gender. For our prelim we had to choose from who was available within the school at really short notice and it did work. However when planning for our film opening we wanted to have a female antagonist and a male protagonist to therefore subvert conventions and therefore this meant that again with the others a lot more planning and consideration was taken into the planning due to the amount of time which we had in order to bring the entire film opening together.

Final Music Choices

FINAL MUSIC CHOSEN

POV MUSIC 1
We used this music because it sounds disorientating and also confusing because it doesn't have a set tune and therefore it is played in a confusing way. This was done through the music being reversed and then the pitch was slightly made higher and therefore that gave it is strange sound that doesn't sound normal. It fits in really well with the other under laid music that is also played along with the clip and therefore this means that it conforms with what we are trying to show. It is a really good piece of music which was created by Lily using audacity. It was good to reverse it because it distorts it easily and then this means that it doesn't become over edited. It is simplistic yet very effective in the opening scene.

This is the piece of music after we had edited it, it is very distorted, and the range in pitch and speed changes throughout.



The sound is reversed, to give it a sound which is different to what we would usually expect, adding tension to the opening.

The pitch was also altered slightly, to give it a sound that it far from normal.



THE CREDITS MUSIC
I made the bass a bit deeper in order to make it sound darker to the viewer. I feel as though this is a much better version of the one before because this time it conforms much more to what we have actually created within the clip that this piece of music will go with. I put it with a piece of rough earlier footage and then made it go faster and therefore this means that you can see it with a piece of video that will be the actual speed. When put over the top of the credits it really conformed with what was happening within the video and therefore was a really good piece of music in order to include as it was the perfect choice for our titles. 


MONTAGE SCENE
We wanted something creepy yet effective and therefore decided to search for a music box clip and then I found this one. We decided to listen to it as a group and then played it over the top and discovered that it fit perfectly with the scene even the beat sometimes matches the actions which are happening within the scene which looks really goof when it is watched back. This is the final piece of music that we chose because we wanted to get the montage scene right and when we found this piece of music we decided to download it straight away as it really fit with the scene in total. It was a really interesting piece of music and it was really good that we decided to use it because it conforms perfectly with the video piece.


STATIC NOISE
We wanted a simple White Noise effect for each piece of static that wasn't to loud and therefore wouldn't distract away from what was going on but would still create jump through it cutting to the static. Therefore we simply found a really simple piece of White Noise and then put it into the video and cut it down to each section so that it would fit.


ANOTHER PIECE OF POV MUSIC
This is the eerie piece of music which was overlaid with the top piece of music and a iMovie effect in order to create the entire music piece. I like how in the video the heavy breathing comes in just as you start to see the clown more prominently and as it starts to get closer to him. You can then tell that it is affecting him in someway although he cannot see it, it is still present near him and this piece of music shows this. Lauren found this piece of music and therefore it shows a group effort in finding the music. We overlaid this after we had found all the music and discovered it fitted completely and therefore we kept them together.


 For the breathing soundtrack, the speed had to be changed, as it was too fast paced, and ended too quickly, so we wanted it to slow down, to emphasis the tension within the scene.

 The decibel was also changed, as we wanted the sound to be more prominent and louder, as it sounded quite quiet compared to the other music that was paired with this.

Our knowledge of the technology has definitely improved by miles and therefore this means that by the end we felt much more confident in what we were doing and what parts of the editing software we wanted to use in order to create the correct effect. 

Music Editing onto Film

Editing Music

Beginning

This is the beginning part of the music editing in which we have use my own piece of music which is a fast and bass drum which conforms with our opening scene which is also very fast paced. We wanted to keep the music more stark rather than really over layed and too disorientating. I had to drag the clip forward because the music started too late into the credits and therefore this meant that we had to adjust it slightly. I also faded out the end in order to make sure that it didn't fade over into the skyline shot.


POV Shot

With the POV shot we wanted to make the music eerie in order to conform with it being dark and also that the clown appears in random shots throughout. We therefore got the majority of the music from SoundCloud and then edited it on Audacity to speed up and also distort to make them uncomfortable for the viewer. We then over layed them together and discovered that they worked reall well, plus with the Drama Dark Suspense sound from iMovie then then added the small noises to it that were not avalible before. The breathing begins when he walks into the tunnel and therefore you can tell that as the clown gets closer to him it starts to affect him in a particular way and therefore conforms with what is happening even though he cannot see the clown. This therefore conforms with a supernatural genre as before the character comes into contact with the antagonist there is usually eerie or suspenseful music closely followed by the emphasised sound of them breathing over the top in order to show fear or anxiety.

Tunnel

For the CCTV shots we decided to use a more carnival type of music and therefore this means that the death is approaching and the clown is gradually getting closer to him. It also goes with his walking and when the clips cut it smoothly transitions back after static without being too mixed up. The music is interrupted by the sound of the white noise and also the static image which is sudden and breaks the scene up into different segments of filming and also music. We then layered a Heartbeat which came from iMovie and this therefore creates tension because if you can hear someones heartbeat it makes the viewers beat slightly faster making them feel anxious and also perhaps implying that something is going to occur soon. The heartbeat is also cut out by the static and therefore implies that the tape is changing from one to another.

Montage Scene

For the montage scene we decided to get our music from the internet and in particular music box music which is more high pitched and dream like rather than the others. We did think about possibly using a high pitched frequency but instead found that the music box was just as effective. The music fits really well with the film inlcuding when he looks from side to side and the music beats follow in time with it. The static in the beginning is longer and therefore this meant that it showed a change taking place and something bad is going to happen. The music for the montage scene was the most important as it is the most stand out scene and therefore the music had to show this as well rather than diverting on a differnt tangent which would have confused the viewer.


Ending

For the final scene we decided to cut out the music and leave it as just silence along with the interrupting parts of static which cut up the film. By having it as silence at the end it makes it much more sinister and conforms with the fact that he has just died because not only has the music gone but also the heart beat which therefore confirms that the protagonist is dead. I think that the scene works really well without any other sounds because this means that you solely focus on the scene and the fact that he has just been killed rather than over doing it with a lot of music.

Shooting Script 2.05.2013

Location:
Greenwich Park and the Greenwich Foot Tunnel

Shots we where filming:

  • Extra death scene shots which include close ups and longer shots which meant that the death was captured as last time my camera decided to cut at the one point before the entire shot was fully finished and therefore this meant that we needed to return in order to do some more disorientating and more focused death shots. 
  • We also went into Greenwich park with Lily dressed as the clown and then filmed her on the Band Stand which looks quite relatable to a circus and also we did one of her behind a tree which makes her look mysterious and scary. 
  • We also filmed the stairs shots which were deleted by accident last time but we have them just incase they need to be included in order to show him walking down the stairs etc. 
Time we got there:
  • We got there around 1pm and therefore the buses were running slow so whilst we were waiting for Chloe and Josh we decided to go to Greenwich park in order to film a couple more shots in order to use in the montage scene and therefore got more stuff filmed than we had planned to.
  • We then all met up around 2:30pm at the tunnel and then filmed in therefore around 30-45 minutes doing some more death scene footage in order to speed up and edit in the class on the monday.
  • We then left around 4:00pm after looking around to see if there were any other footage moments however no where else seemed suitable and therefore we decided to go home. 
Props which we took with us:
. We took the camera in order to film and before we went we searched up the camera and found out that it had an IA setting which meant that the skyline would film in a better quality.
. We also took the tripod (Gorilla Stand) which wraps around objects and therefore made it easier in order to film the skyline as we attached it too the beam and then it was steady when it filmed.

Who went:
Lily, Becky, Chloe and Josh

Chimes

In order to get the sound for the 3 clips I recorded one of my old Globes that play nursery rhymes when wound up and left to play. I recorded it on my phone and the quality came out really well and therefore I didn't need to re-record it again. I found that it was very creepy and also when edited it came out really well. I used the software called Audacity in order to change the effects on the music which is an online free piece of software. 

Backwards Melody

For the backwards melody I put the song into Audacity and the highlighted the entire piece of music and then picked a effect from the top tool bar that would put the song into reverse. I found the tool and then selected it before listening back to it. It turned out really well and the sound is really distorted without over editing it too much and losing the sounds quality and scariness. I therefore left it with just the reverse as the edit that I did to it and therefore this meant that the sound was constantly pulling itself backwards and it sounds really awkward to listen to back. 




Slow Melody

With the slow melody I chose the effect which changed the speed of the piece of music. I pulled the slider to the left and therefore this made the piece of music go much slower. I did like it however it lost the scariness through removing the fastness and therefore I wasn't so keen on how it sounded after listening to it. I didn't do anything else to it as I didn't want to carry on this piece of music as it is too slow for the opening in which we are doing. It also doesn't sound as menacing as the others and therefore I decided to leave it rather than make it even worse. 

Fast Melody

This is my favourite one because I really like how speeding up the clip has made it more mysterious and spooky rather than just a normal nursery rhyme which although is quite scary was fast paced enough for the opening which we are putting together. Therefore I really found that by just changing the speed alone made the music much more suitable for the opening and therefore made no other changes to it overall. I did try adding an echo but that made it too over crowded with noise and therefore abandoned that idea as it didn't work out. I also tried bass but as the pitch is too high this was pretty much useless and therefore left that idea. It is much more effective with the simple adding speed to it rather than over doing it with more effects than it actually needs.

Music Part 2

Drums Music Part 2


In order to make the Drums better I decided to make the drums go a little bit faster in order to fit the pace of the video for the credits which is really quick and therefore so did the music that played over the top in the background. I also made the bass a bit deeper in order to make it sound darker to the viewer. I feel as though this is a much better version of the one before because this time it conforms much more to what we have actually created within the clip that this piece of music will go with. I put it with a piece of rough earlier footage and then made it go faster and therefore this means that you can see it with a piece of video that will be the actual speed. 

I changed the speed of the clip up to around a 100 and therefore this means that the piece of music will play a 100 times faster than it did before. I did try 120 however this distorted the music too much and made it sound silly in playback and therefore I tried a little lower and it sounded much better. In changing the speed it makes it sound much more effective when put with the clips and will work better with the piece of footage which it will be overlaid with making the entire credits look and sound good. 

In order to make the drum sound have more bass I changed the pitch of the music and made it of a lower pitch and therefore this made the sound much more deeper than before. I clicked on the bass to make it lower but did move any of the sliders as I didn't want the bass too low otherwise the sound wouldn't be recognisable and would merge into one long piece of bass music without the changing of the beat and tune. 

Flute Music Part 2


I decided to also change this one as I liked it however it didn't sound scary enough and therefore I decided that perhaps making it slower would change the effect that it had on the tune. However I really like the tune as it had that carnival effect of the different pitches and the disorientation that came with it that the flutes created. This meant that I didn't want to do a lot to it as I wanted to maintain the effect which I had but make it more scary for the viewer and fit in with part of the clip later on. I also altered the video that was overlaid with it by making it much slower and therefore this meant that the tune fits in with what could be on in the background however the clip may be a little bit faster. 

This is the only effect which I changed with this one because I thought that it would just need to go slower rather than making it too overcomplicated and therefore I just made it slightly slower than taking it to an extreme. I also tried a fade in however that didn't enhance it and therefore I decided to remove it in order to make it better. Overall I feel that by adding this effect it has made the piece of music better because it sounds more haunting and scary rather than being a strange tune put over the top of a video which didn't initially fit it. 


I didn't do anything thing to the third tune as I didn't like it at all and found it annoying and therefore I decided not to develop that any further because it wasn't going to be used.
