Filming Photographs

This is Lucy filming Aimee (Miss Vicini) in the post-it note scene.

Alterations made along the way

There have been many alterations throughout the process of making this opening of the film.

Me and Lucy in my group couldn't film at the same time and location as others in our previous group so we had to film our own film and change our characters slightly.

In our original plans we had decided for a man called Mr. Vicini to be the main character and he moves into a neighbourhood and ends up killing people but he looks like a normal character but ends up being a murderer. Due to not being able to get the actor to play Mr. Vicini we had to change our plans and change the plot and the characters.

Our plot changed to Mr. Vicni's daughter lived with him too Miss Vicini and she ends up being the murderer. When she is asked to take the rubbish out by her dad (who has left her a note as he had to go out) she actually takes a bin bag out to the bin, but it has a dead body in it of a person that she has killed. Then when she takes this bag and puts it in the bin a hand of the dead person is left hanging out of the bin and Malcolm a boy who lives in the neighborhood sees that there is a hand hanging out of the bin and then you see her dragging another body in a bag and putting it in the bin because she has killed Malcolm because he has seen her put another body in the bin and she can't risk him telling anyone else as she may get caught.

Mood Board

This is my mood board i created to express the theme of ny film and some of the props that will be used throughout the film.
The houses in the top right shows that it will be set in a house.
The neighborhood in the bottom left also represents setting.
The carrots, highlighters, bin bag, knife and newspaper represent the props that will be used.

Footage of filming

 

This is a short clip of evidence of me directing my brother Jack, 'Malcolm' on what he needs to be doing in the shot.

Production Company

My production comapny name is district productions. we chose this name because the word district links to neighbourhood and our film opening is set in a neighbourhood.

This screenshot is when i was making the logo using powerpoint. I got the image from clip art and changed the colours to make it my own.
