Final Film Write up

Final Write Up For Blog – Film Project

Final Layout of Scenes –

Flat 1 – Taking hood off wall (show as little as head/hair as possible)

Exiting the Flat

Taking the Stairs 3 separate shots

Walking along by the river.

Music that was used –

Start of movie – Silence until the stairs appear

Stairs – At the top of the stairs “Come to Daddy” by Chris Cunningham

This was overlaid with sounds of footsteps going down the stairs.

Chris Cunningham “come to Daddy” continued through to Exiting the Building, Walking along the river, till the first black screen (before the train)

Train Station – “come to daddy’ played alongside the original sound of the broken camera.

On the escalators – The original sound from the tube station

Then combinations of whispers and cuts from Apex Twin and a combination of Chris Cunningham’s movie film music.

When working out the order of the film we realized that even more editing was needed. The film was good and the scenes flowed but it was still took to long to work your way through the film. In the end instead of being 20 minutes long our film was only 4 min 32 sec long, however I do not feel that this changed the outcome of what the project was aiming at which was to create an image or series of images that focused on unused and left over spaces; we did this by looking at space from two perspectives the wolf and little red riding hood. However by the end of the film we had drifted away from the use of wolf and little red riding hood the images became more about how to create tension and build up suspense. Quick switches between scenes and long pauses in specifically chosen areas did this.

The film when it was shown in the crypt was appealing it held the audiences attention, I think that the shortness of the film helped with this also, images were quick and to the point.

An area I feel the film could have improved was with the sound; which we left till the last few days. With more time I feel we could either have found or created sound that fitted the film better. However the music we did choose increased the intensity of the film, which helped with the impact of fear and suspense.
