Production Log - Week 1

The equipment we used during filming was three redhead lights to get our three point lighting. We also used the tripod to get straight shots of the actors so it looks more professional. We also used a voice recorder to record the actors voices as we could not here their voices clearly because of the distance between the actor and camera. We wanted to record clear dialogue so when adding it in in the editing stage, it would sound crisp.

Special Effects and Visual Effects Treatment

Sugar bottle

This is a special effect that were going to use. This will be used in the scene where our 

character is out in public, and then passes out as she gets a bottle smashed by an unknown man. We will then use a fake glass bottle, as we will fill it up with sugar which will make it look much more realistic then.This will then create suspense as the audience are unaware of why he done this. Also what really stands out is that we don't know his identity. The audience will then immediately look at him as an antagonist character, and they will then sympathise for what happened to her as this will then resemble innocence as she done nothing wrong.This will then also show violence being used, which is an serious topic were addressing.

Green screen
This is a visual effect that were going to use. Were going to use this to show the view of London at night time. Since our character will then be walking during then night, as we will want to show the lights flashing then. Were going to use a green screen to make this look more realistic for the audience to watch. We're trying to make a dark atmosphere which will resemble the chances of something bad likely to happen. This is what were trying to show. We want to put London as our main location, as this is one of the most well known cities in the world, which will then engage the viewers into watching .

Hallucinations

This is an visual affect that were going to use. Were going to use this to show how the drug is affecting her. We will show the side affects, as were going to show how everything that's surrounded by her, how everything will begin to get slower then, and then get blurred out then. This will then make the audience sympathise for her in the situation that she's in . This is because she's away from reality , and stuck in her own world. Which symbolises that no one can help her. Were going to use this visual effect because I feel like we can make a much more vivid scene for the audience to remember, because this scene will show the development of the character.

Holograms-

This is a special effect that were going to use. I think this will be a special effect that will be exciting to use. Were going to use a hologram  to show that our character has gained superpowers while taking the drug. There may have been bad side effects. However, this will then be overshadowed by her superpowers. Were going to show when she looks at someone the information that person will then appear. Therefore, she can then receive information about someone , by looking at them, so she can then easily make judgements then. This will then engage the audience, as were showing an element of fantasy.

Shooting Script

Recce

Recce 

 

Setting- Were going to film in Walthamstow, this is where we want to set our programme that were going to film. Since it's quite far away, we feel like this will be more of a challenge as were being creative by thinking outside of the box.

Location- Were planning to film in god's own junkyard, this is suitable to what were filming, this is because there's enough space for us to film. Also this is a very colourful place, as there a range of different bright colours which are used to make this look more appealing. This is what's needed because when our character Dylan hallucinates, he will then be in an fantasy in which he will see different bright colours, which will then engage the audience more then. This will also be an area to film which can be easy to edit , as we can blur , and we can also decrease the speed of the video, and with the bright colours used, this will then look more like a hallucination then. There's also enough space that can be used to bring a group of people for recording, which is benefited as we can get more detail out of filming then.

Backup location

Setting- At Chadwell Heath , which is much closer to us which means that this is an attachment area.

Location- At the park because there's rides in the park which have a range of different colours, and there's also bright colours which are shown in the park . Bright colours can be edited as being blurred which can also resemble hallucinations, which will then engage the audience then, as this will then look realistic then. This is beneficial for a backup because this is much closer to where we live, which will then mean less travelling then, which will make it easier for us as a group to meet up so we can film earlier then. This also means we have more time to film then. Therefore, this will then be more convenient for us, which is an advantage.

Setting - Dilly's House  (Chadwell Heath)

Location - Our location is set in Dilly's room (Me) as we show at the beginning of the video that Amina is getting ready for the party and is shown putting on her makeup and looking in the mirror. We will also show the location of where Amina is by showing aspects of her room. Dilly's room is great to use as she has lots of bright lights in her room that will foreshadow the bright lights she sees at God's Own Junkyard. We will use Focus Pull a lot to bring in the lights as it represents the hallucination she will experience later on in the night after she has the pill. The lighting in her room is well lit and shows the time of day it is which is mid evening as she is still getting ready for the party.
