We adapted our idea for the Shot Design and decided to use the idea of Anorexia and to show how the girl is feelin on the inside by showing it on the outside. for example the bruising on her face and the mess she is in and using the different things around her shows she has all her comforts around her but stil she cannot feel safe and ok. she also is centred in the middle of the piece which will how isolated and little she is and so frail!

The shooting went really well and we were able to get the whole thing in the first shooting. we managed to change the lights around to make a different ambience, we managed to create an eerie blair witch type effect. We have yet to put the video onto youtube but i have some of the stills from the shoot.

Design One Shot- Deb

Sherri wrote this brief description to show our genre of our One Shot Design.

The the genre we have chosen to convey is Horror. Our character will reflect attributes of a stereotypical bad guy in a horror movie yet we have built a twist on our story as the emotion of the character we are conveying is Terror. This is due to our story being that the bad guy is infact scared of something/someone and is infact the victim in this scenario. We will attempt to make the camera the character of intimidation. A sort of Evil vs Evil??
We will be going for a dark, simple style to bring focus to the subject and the subject only. Lighting will be used to help achieve the mood. We will use a back light out of shot and another light on the right side of the subject to achieve depth. Our aim is to make the subject look evil and important yet as the shot continues the audience come to realise this is not the case.
For the actual camera shot we will be using movement. The camera will begin at a long mid shot of the subject. Using tracks, the camera will slowly move forward revealing more detail of the character. When the camera reaches an extreme close up this will reveal terror on the subjects face. The camera will then hook to the left at a faster pace creating a cliff hanger yet revealing that there was a behind camera character involed in the scene.
To go with the simplistic approach the character will be wearing simple clothing yet with a hood up to disguise his identity slighty so not to convey a vulnerable character. The subject will have a slightly distorted look about his face such as scars and bruises. This will inform our audience that our character is not any normal person.mary for our One shot Design just so you can get the idea of our genre.

Audio Visual

Firstly I began by listening to the audio of this clip 'Beaches'. My first thoughts were that it was in a hospital as you could here the sound of a heart machine and slow, jerking breathing, there are two women there, one that was ill and the other maybe a visitor, the visitor says "Hill, Hill" which i would asume is the name of the patient. The patient says in a deep heavy beathing voice "hi, i waited for you" slow music then begins which portrays sadness, the words 'I waited for you' indicate to me that she has held on and not let go to die yet (sounds as if crying), she says 'she wants to go' which also indicates that she wants to die. When watching the clip without audio i saw a different scenario, the shot is clever as it shows us the side profile of the woman who looks very ill and the front profile of the visitor this gives a full view of the two main characters and shows also that these two people are close, it also shows that the 'visitor' could be more powerful and a bigger character than the ill woman. the shot goes onto just the 'visitors' face and you can see from this shot that she loves the other woman very much and is deeply upset at what is happening she looks sad but comforting, this tells me that they are very close friends or maybe even relatives. The focus turns onto the ill womans face, she looks very ill and then when she realises who is there we see how happy she is to see this person which indicates also how close these two women are. I think this woman could be dying as she looks like she is having trouble breathing as her chest is jerking, the visitor looks as if she could be giving some bad news. When putting the Audio and visual together i realise that the woman doesnt want to die she wants to get out of the hospital and she is not being given bad news but just telling her friend she doesnt want to die in hospital.
