Foundation Portfolio Questions Part 2- Charlotte Question 9

9- For my contribution towards the process of the making of the film I have helped out in nearly all the aspects of the film making. I watched "The Shining" for the textual analysis and saw interesting camera angles that were effective along with music that added tension.

 Then I shared my findings with the rest of the group and we picked out ideas that would be good to incorporate into our movie.

After writing out the general plot of the film, and spliting the sequence into four parts, I drew out the final part of the film on my storyboard with useful and effective angles and lighting. Then when we put our storyboards together, we split up the script into two and with the help of Louise, I typed up the second half of the script.

 Once that was done and we had casted our main character Roisin, I took charge of taken photos of her for our test shot. I took both a before photo with no makeup or costume, then a photo with her wearing the hospital gown and the added eyeshadow to show the change and what I had used to create the effect. I based the look on the actress Jessica Alba in "The Eye" as her appearence was similar for what I wanted to go for. Finally when we had hired out the camera and decided what lighting and extra equipment we needed along with the permission to film, we went to the hospital and we all took it in turns to film our individual parts. I truely enjoyed being in charge of the camera, as I could picture out what I wanted to happen in the different shots.

However after filming we had to go back and re-shoot due to camera problems and with one of our members being ill we shared their sequence between us and tried to make it as similar to the original as possible. After finally shooting all the footage, we all had the chance to edit our parts of the films and give advice to the other members to try and cut down the film as close to the two minute time limit, which was very difficult as we had extra footage and the titles still to add in.



I had a small input to abit of the music soundscapes with another member. However our member that was ill wanted the oppotunity to make up for being away through filming and taking music tech as a subject he wanted to be incharge of the music so he used "GarageBand" to create songs and music whilst recording the loud bang and the voices whilst giving advice and ideas also.
