So its deadline day and the film has been handed in! Now just waiting to find out feedback from t
So the deadline is tomorrow and we still have the ending to shoot :S I'm having trouble acquiring police gear for the actors, so as a temporary measure we are just going to shoot the ending in POV and resubmit in 2 weeks with a fully finished and edited film!
Keep an eye open for the production and storyboards pages over next few days as these will be updated as i go along! The film will be uploaded on here in 2 weeks time after I've received feedback off my class mates and friends, changed anything that needs changing and iron out any bugs! Todays shoot is going to consist of getting the outside shots leading up to the crane shot and also the breaking into the house scene! We will be shooting all afternoon!
The only shots left to get then will be the end sequence where he shoots himself and the stuff in the kitchen! The pages to watch out for updates are, Production, Zombies and scrips and storyboard pages! Over next few days new content will be available to see, having bit of a problema
The shoot was a success and it only took 11 hours:) We got all the shots we set out to achieve by the end of the day and from playing back the footage it looks great! Now hopefully they will cut together nicely in post!
Will have to arrange one last shoot and the film is finished!!! Had a lot of help today and 9 people showed up to play zombies which was a great turnout and greatly appropriate the time and effort these guys put in! Keep checking out the storyboard page for the latest pictures from the shoot and the production page when i upload some of the pics from the shoot! Extra pics of the storyboards have been uploaded onto this page, you can see what the storyboards of tomorrows shoot is going to look like! Footage from the film will be uploaded tomorrow after completion of filming
So the 3rd shoot is now complete. It seemed to of gone good, i struggled a bit trying to do a surprised reaction but i am not an actor so i could only do my best! Will hopefully be able to see how these shots turned out later if we have time to upload them onto the computer! Keep checking the Scripts page as will be uploading both storyboards and more pics from todays shoot hopefully later on tonight!
Huge day tomorrow, will be shooting almost the rest of the film so very long day! Gotta try and get actors to my house tomorrow also which is guna be a huge pain in the ass as only got one car to shuttle run people to and from mine! This is going to eat up the time just on travel! Either way check back tomorrow night where i will be blogging to let you know how this shoot went! Fingers crossed all goes smoothly! The shoot yesterday was rescheduled until Tuesday as will have a longer time period to shoot with. I am going to use this time to instead buy some extra props required for the big shoot on Wednesday; this includes more white contacts, fake blood and liquid latex. I also need to collect the college jib for the planned crane shot behind the wall!
The footage from last night came out great! The next day we are looking at shooting is Sunday to finish off the intro shots and add shots needed to better last nights shoot. This is going to be a huge shoot as everything that hasn't been filmed already needs to be filmed!
The final script is now up on the website after typing it up today. Also if you check out the Storyboards tab you will see pics added from the shoot. Ive placed them next to paragraphs from the script and storyboards to see how the finished shots compare next to the ones we originally planned for the scene. So check back over the weekend to see more content being uploaded. Thought of a great new way to shoot the ending so thought I'd share! The new ending will have the police use torches as to better set the tone of the room. So when they storm into the room, only the small amount of light given off from the torches will reveal the mystery of the room, making it more edgy!
Ok so today we will be shooting the 2nd shoot for the film. Shooting will begin at 5 and finish around 7.30/8ish!
The shoot is mostly going to consist of reshooting extra drug and wall footage from the last shoot and the rest of the beginning shots of my charater. After this the actor Deborah Eades is going to be filmed having the coloured flashback shots first, then is going to go through makeup to play the part of the zombie mum! All these shots need to be filmed right the first time as there will be no time for a re-shoot if any shots dont look right! Will upload pictures from the shoot later on tonight or tomorrow, depending on what time the shoot finishes The final script has been completed using word so today i will be spending the morning re-writing it up on Celtx and will be putting it online in the nextt couple of days.
Looking over previous script and after watching the first minutes worth of footage shot so far i have made some adjustments which should give the storyline greater emotion to the audience at the end! I will type it up tomorrow and upload it to the website!
I am hoping to also upload some of the storyboards I've drawn but this wont be till late in the evening if shooting is able to take place! Keep checking back for updates A problem has arose so we are unable to shoot today as planned, rearranging for Wednesday! Today will be used to collect any props i may need i.e. White contact lenses, gun,
A chain and collar has now been added to the room set and i am spending the day news papering the walls and the windows to darken the room! The wall in the hallway is having newspaper put over it due to the kitchen shots; both the hallway and the kitchen have the same colour paint! Hopefully we can continue shooting tomorrow without any problems, Production is well on its way:) Manage to shoot most of the intro today and the footage is looking great, hopefully it looks even better when we convert it to black and white!
Will be adding pics and information onto the production page for next couple hours so check back later to see what we got up to! Alright its 3 weeks today until the film deadline. The room is almost finished cept for little bit more painting to make it look darker! Also need to buy a dust cover and newspaper the floor for a better feel!
Shooting will begin next week so its just making sure that all the call sheets and paperwork is up to scratch! The room develpment page has got some new pictures to show what else i've done to it over past few days so check that out! Check back soon for production pictures! Hello all,
I apologise not blogging recently, things have been abit hetic at this end! My cinematographer is back off holiday now so have spent all day yesterday discussing filming which will begin as soon as possible! The past week has been used on painting the room, it has still not been finished! Its is literally taking forever!!!!! Nearly gone through 250ml of paint so far! The ceiling is starting to get there, i have just begun painting a huge spiders web. Pictures in Room Design have been updated... Anyway check back soon as production will begin hopefully before the weekend :D Been painting the room again all day, noticed that to truly get the image i am looking to achieve requires me to paint the ceiling:( This will look miles better when it comes to filming it as he will literally be surrounded on all sides by images; but it does mean its going to take longer to paint which will set shooting it, back a few more days!
Updated the diseases part of the website adding information on human pandemics across history: such as black death and Spanish Flu! Also added pictures to show disease symptoms in comparison to people coming off drugs which show close similarities.
Created a new page for scripts and storyboards which better shows how i plan to shoot my film, it also gives shows you script paragraph to storyboard run through; this gives you a better visualization for my vision of the film. Keep checking back for more updates.... Tomorrow will be painting the room some more and trying to add newspaper articles to the room! Just did a major update to the website showing how everything is going! Jodie has been a big help with the room development and my sister Cassie. Keep checking back and will add more content soon! Hope to begin shooting next week!
Main chunks of the walls are starting to be filled now, aranged for jodie to come round on monday to help finish it off hopefully!!
Make alot more progress tonight! Wrote alot of the diseases on the wall which can be linked to a zombie outbreak/pandemic! The main wall is looking great an all...
Made a start painting the back room with my sister for a couple of hours! Its starting to make shape but theres still lots of wall space that needs covering!
Gave the room a coat of paint and its starting to take shape. The wardrobe still needs a place to go but once that's out the way the real work begins! Begun drawing up outlines for what needs to go where, will be getting people who can draw to begin work on it ASAP ready for next week where I'm going to begin shooting the short film!
