We went to practice the classroom scene, as we struggled to find enough people to film it when the room is full. We had help from Ilsa, who was able to create smooth tracking shots by using her wheelchair. We got a lot of the shots we needed, but we need to replicate everything with a class in the room for the glitching scenes.

We've decided to have Yuden act rather than me, as she finds it easier to act out the image of the protagonist, while I am happier to film. We've been out to film the bathroom scene with her this time and got all of the footage we need. She did her make-up, which was mascara smudged and we used water from the taps to make it look like she was crying, as well as making her cry by keeping her eyes open for a long time, as that made it more realistic, it made the mascara run better.
We were't sure how to film the bit with the character banging her head against the wall, which was the only main problem we had while filming this time. We weren't sure whether to act it as the character being really tired, have her still crying hysterically or to have her with a neutral expression, which would've made the scene really creepy. We tried all three and filmed them, but we think either the crying or tired one looked better. We are going to pick once we've started editing. Yuden and I went to film the bathroom scene. It was quite productive as we got a lot of footage. We just need to see if all of it is usable. It does look good so far. However, there was one key shot that we failed to get done due to time constants. We will go back and film it as soon as possible. The shot we want is of the protagonist banging her head against the wall, which is also quite hard to do with hurting or wimping out... which I learnt today. The rest seemed to go well and we tried out a lot of the make-up, like putting mascara on and smudging it and making look like I'm crying. We have decided on creating Yuden's film trailer idea, which is about a girl with schizophrenia who has a boyfriend that she keeps talking about with a therapist, but their perfect relationship isn't all she makes out. We have been planning some elements of this, like scenes, locations, actors and I've started the storyboard. It also looks like I'll be acting again. We've been out to check out some locations such as the bathrooms in school that are often empty during lessons, so we can use it then, the park across the road from school which is good for the scene where the protagonist is going to run at the camera and the scene with the protagonist and her boyfriend playing on the swings in the playground. we've also done some practices to see how it would look. Yuden and I practised the scene at the park to see how we would film it and how I would have to act in it, because I'm going to have to act all lovey with the boyfriend character, then panic while on the swing for the glitching scenes where everything will cut and we'll see another side to the situation,. We also practised the bathroom scene to choreograph the panic attack scene inspired by 'Orphan.'
This week, I have been looking at trailers in different genres to see what I might want my movie to be about. I have looked at Romance/Drama, Action, Horror and Sci-Fi to get an idea of a wide range of different genres and how trailers are created to show conventions of these genres. I think I would like to make an Action/Spy movie, because I enjoy this genre and have some ideas for it.
We had to pick the groups for our movie trailer this year. Yuden, Navid and Lara are in my group. We have been brainstorming genres and ideas within that. My idea revolves around two spies, a guy and a girl who have a cool sort of flirty relationship as they peruse a mission together, but from different aspects. However, there is a lot I'm not sure of how we could film, and I haven't fleshed the idea out enough. We'd also need really good actors and chemistry between them to make it look the way I want it, which would be really difficult, so I think I need to rework it if it's an idea we end up picking. |
