Animatic Timing

Here is our animatics with specific timings of each shot, to watch the youtube video, click here

Sound Planning

Our sequence is filmed with a voiceover instead of dialogue filmed on camera. This is useful because when we start filming in our location, when it will most probably be windy as most of our locations are based outside, we won't have to worry about the volume of the audio and are able to block out all of the wind and background noise of the traffic.

We shall record our dialogue in the media suite completely separately to our recordings, as there isn't any dialogue being filmed at the same time as the film, the viewers will never know the protagonists voice, therefore if Imogen and I record it ourselves, we can create the tone we want for our protagonists story telling.

In terms of sound, we will be inserting foley throughout in order to empathise a very small feature of our film to such a large, busy scene. Here is a list of foley that we intend to use:

• Wind
• Heavy breathing 
• Drips of blood
• Gasps 
• Grass crunching 
• Traffic (cars)
• Creek of a swing 
• Laughing

However, except from foleys, we will also need music throughout the sequence. We have not yet decided which music track we are going to use yet, but here are some screenshots of research we did into music:

Looking for Foleys 

Body Language and Facial Expression

Body Language
 
Motorway scene

•  Zoey is looking around throughout this scene therefore her body language would be very free and explorimental
• When she is looking out onto the motorway, her body language will be closed up as she is telling the audience about her life and will be shy about it

Park flashback scene

• Both the mum and daughter will be very happy, the body language will be very confident and open
• When the mum realises she's being watched, her body will tense automatically

Church scene

• At the start of the church scene, her body language will be closed up and intense so that the audience can grasp that she is feeling overwhelmed and upset
• As soon as the drop of blood lands on her hand, her body language will changed to frightened, with hard breathing
• The antagonist's body language will be very closed up and significant however we will overlay a blur onto the antag so you will not be able to see much

Bedroom scene

• Her body language will be very tense as she is breathing heavy when realising 'it was all a dream'
• At the sink, zoeys body language will be very chilled out until she realises the blood is very much real

Facial Expression

Motorway scene

• Zoey's facial expressions will be very closed up yet puzzled whilst telling the audience about her mother and what happened
• She will be seen to be sad throughout the sequence as she is obviously talking about her dead mother
• Her eyes will move around a lot yet hold quite long stares for about 2/3 seconds

Park flashback scene

• Both the mother and daughter will be smiling a lot as they're both enjoying themselves
• The mum when noticing that she is being watched, her smile will drop and she will become looking like she is very very scared

Church scene

• At the start again Zoey will have a sad face again as she is at the grave stone, she will look sad yet puzzled and blank
• She will become suddenly very shocked and worried when she realises there is a man behind her- this will be interpreted through a variety of foleys

Bedroom scene

• Her facial expression on waking up in a bedroom will be very shocked, possibly quite sweaty and confused
• When she realises there is blood on her hands and face, she will look absolutely petrified, this will be shown also through make up

Anamatic

For one of our tasks, we got asked to create a analysis video for our storyboard, to explain which shot we intend to use, the length of shot and the details of what is going to happen. Click here to see ours, if not then here is ours:

In terms of the individual timings of each scene, here is another video of us editing how long each clip will last for:

Script

Blog Post TWENTY FOUR

Script

*insert wind*

Protag: He never knew why she did it
             Or who did it... to her    

            He has fond memories of her

 *insert foot steps*

            Making happy memories withher

 
            He likes to believe that her death was an accident 
            Or a mistake
 
            Nobody would leave a child orphaned without meaning

            But the dark figure that follows him makes him uncertain 

            The chills down my spine
            The crunch of the grass

*foley of grass crunch*
