An example of the type of music that could be seen within our teaser...

Horror Music by kallejo-music

This, in my opinion, is the best track that would fit our teaser. The fast paced piano keys that are playing at the start increase the tempo of the overall teaser and imply that something will happen. It generally fits in with the shots that will be in the teaser and will have a profound effect on the audience when embedded with the teaser.

This is another track that I liked the sound of as I believe it portrayed the horror genre extremely well. The use of the voice sounds extremely eerie and could bhe argued is the voice of a child. This 'scary lullaby' sound track is often a conventional feature in horror movies in genereal and especially in film teasers and trailers. I think it's very effective and could be used as inspiration for the music in our teaser.
This track also reminds me of the music heard in Woman In Black as it has sounds of string instuments that are often heard in kids' toys.

This is an example of the type of music that could be used within our teaser. Because it's quite low and subtle, I imagine it could be used at the start when introducing the teaser, when there are slow cuts before the climax to build suspense.

My role this week...

Today, my partner Tibyaan and I did the extended storyboard which will be turned into an animatic. We did this by referring to our teaser plan and then drew images of the shots we will be using in our teaser. In total, there are 40 shots that we've drawn together. We will then cut each shot out and scan them in and then use Movie Maker to turn them into an animatic.

Also, I have analysed the website for the film 'Abduction' and this will be put on my blog when I have completed my second analysis.

Planning and Research Powerpoint



This is the planning and research powerpoint that I presented today and was filmed doing so.

My role this week...

Today I was filmed whilst presenting the planning and research powerpoint. From the start of this week, until today (Wednesday) I have been putting the slides together as they were made on separate powerpoints for each question and also made the finishing touches to the powerpoint that I would be presenting alone - due to my partner Tibyaan being away on DofE.

The powerpoint that I put together from the separate powerpoints Tibyaan helped make can be seen in the next above post ^.

When Tibyaan returns, she will present the other half of the planning and research powerpoint and I too, will be present during the presentation to make additional points from the feedback I have gained and to also help her present the information on target research as it's quite a lengthy question that we developed a long answer to.

Just to clarify, this is what I covered in my presentation:
Synopsis
Genre Convention
Moodboard
Locations & Props

When Tibyaan returns, this is what she'll present:
Teaser Plan
Rough storyboard
Key Questions
Actors & Costumes
TARGET AUDIENCE RESEARCH - I will be present when Tibyaan is being filmed so we will both present this area as it's quite long.

Rough Teaser Plan

Main Shot List

First Draft Synopsis

Years of studying and playing by the rules, all to be betrayed by the art he loves so dearly. But now, the rule book has been thrown out the window.
In this spine-tingling torture horror we see the failed plastic surgeon Osman (‘The Copycat’) stalk, kidnap and hold hostage Chloe (‘Dolls’), an aspiring actress to perform the unspeakable.
Directed by Debbyaan Onyenassir this urgent, intensely moving and gripping story shapes the human fantasy of a demented surgeon.
Your imperfections are his opportunities.

Planning and Research for our filming locations....

Today my filming partner (Tibyaan) and I made a list of locations we could possibly go to film for our teaser. After making this list, we went to visit one location in particular and took some pictures. The reason why we took pictures was to record that'd we'd actually been there and to also see if it looked as good on camera, as it did in real life as this is how it would appear in our teaser and shown to our audience.

Therefore, the role I played today was contributing to location ideas in the list we made and going along to visit some locations. 3 examples of the pictures we took can be seen below in this post as the rest will be shown in our planning and research presentation.
