soundscape

The world that my film is based in is inspired by DARK, Stranger Things and E.T. I wanted my film to be set in the 70s with a dull colour palette full of neutral tones. I wanted the aesthetic to be very dark and sad as the protagonist is in a very odd situation. I also want to add some light blues and reds into the film to reflect danger and sadness. I want to include some neon lights so the atmosphere of the lab seems real. 




There are 4 characters all together in my production, 2 being the antagonist and the protagonist (Dr Novak and Cedric Quinn). The remaining being the bodyguards that take cedric to the cell a the end.

  • Cedric Quinn - Normal civilian who finds himself being patronised by CERN because he can time travel. He will be dressed in a 1970s inspired outfit wrapped in a hospital blanket.
  • Dr Novak -  A doctor and scientist at CERN who is fixated on doing multiple experiments on Cedric and not caring about how it effects him. He will be dressed in a lab jacket and smart clothing.

annotated scripts

Image
Down bellow is my annotated script. I had to make a fair few adjustments due to location changes and difficulties. I could not shoot the final scene as my location and cast were not avalible. Also I could not get hold on the correct costumes that were necessary. However my cast members did improvise the scene were the doctor is explaining the symptoms to Cedric to make it into the time bracket.

Many A Moon: foley, Cinematography etc.

Foley: I didn't get to record Foley for my short film as there were no harsh sounds that needed emphasising as I had a on-cam mic attached. If I had I would have emphasised the sounds of the chair and the felt tip against white board. Cinematography: I picked a space In the collage that had filtered sun light seeping through into the room which in the end created a more eery atmosphere. I ended up tinting the film a very dark blue colour. List of sounds: These are the list of sounds that I wanted to include in my film footsteps coming up to the doctors office - Getting someone to walk across wooden floorboards leaves rustling in the forest - rustle the branches wind blowing - Go record this near a river  door opening and closing - Hold the mic really close to the door hinges and open the door  pen on whiteboard - Hold the mic really close to the felt tip dragging across the board.

primary and secondary research

I will be conducting both primary and secondary research for this assessment. I will be looking at directional styles research on complimentary colour schemes and lighting.  Primary Research: Re-watching films that have inspired me cinematography wise Look into the scripts of those films Research and test three point lighting and what will provide the best artificial natural light. Secondary research: Look into classic 70's style of filming as my film is set in the early 70's research concept art "film posters of the 70's" by Tony Nourmand look into directors such as Wes Anderson, Steven Spielberg and G uillermo del Toro Research symmetry in film   3 directional skills: Wes Anderson inclues symmetry in almost all of his films and has a wide range of pan shots which is the same as Guillermo del Toro. Steven Spielberg however uses dolly zooms to add a tense affect for the audience.
