Progress Diary 21/03/13 (Sean Martin)

Due to the footage we had not being long enough to fit the 5 minute target, we had to film an extra sceme at the end which shows Adrian coming home to his house and relaxing, whilst being confused about the similarities to his day and to what he thought was his dream.

We have currently finished filming and editing our film and are now onto developing a radio trailer to advertise and promote it. The posters for our film have been finished and we are now finalising our film for evaluation.

Poster Idea (Sean Martin)

Me and the other members of the group have to decided to each make a poster for our film. By doing one individually, it allowed us to not only have more posters to choose from, but to have different takes on what the poster should look like. From using a standard format design to more abstract designs.

For my design, I decided to be more abstract with its appearance  The black and white imagery stands for both elements of good and bad karma. As well as the two images of the main character (Adrian) showing both sides of himself. And how throughout the film, Adrian's personality and attitude changes.

Location Photos House Scene

The photos below were taken from the scene when Adrian goes home. We added this scene in after as we didn't have enough time to complete the film. 

Extra Scenes

This is a precaution we decided to take incase our film didn't quite make the five minute target. Below will be a couple of ideas for extra scenes we can do, or extend if our film doesn't make it.

Idea One - Extension of Scene 4
Instead of Adrian been stood next to the homeless man, and putting his money in the cup, the film rewinds to the beginning, and ends by fading to black, and showing Adrian reversing back into the room from which he started in. He will awaken in the room, and believe that he was dreaming. His co-worker will say his name, but then Adrian will realise his shift is over, and leave the room. As he proceeds through the building, another co-worker will greet him how he did in Adrian's 'dream'. This makes him nervous, and he continues out of the building, until he sees the homeless man again, whom once again asks him to spare some change. This time, Adrian spares the change, and drives away in his car. The events of what he thought was a dream, still fresh in his mind.

Idea Two - Scene 4 and Scene 5
Adrian doesn't see the homeless man at the end of Scene 4, and believes entirely that he was dreaming, and the co-worker was a complete coincidence. In Scene 5, he returns home after work. Unlocks his door, then goes to turn the alarm off, but notices it isn't switched on. He was sure it was. He hangs up his coat, takes off his tie, and goes into the kitchen for a drink of water. When he gets the water, he goes into the living room, turns on the TV, and sits down to watch the TV. He notices a necklace on the side. The necklace of the homeless man. After realising, the lights go out, and the television turns off. The electric is out. Then he hears a knock on the door. He goes to answer it, but when he does, no one is there. Except the Karma Demon, standing behind him. The scene fades to black.

It is looking quite likely now, that aspects of both of these scenes will be used in our film, and that is why it's going to be uploaded to the blog.

Progress Diary 01/03/2013

On this day we had to get the rest of the filming done as we didn't finish it all from the last filming day. We filmed the scene where Sean wakes up in the office and looks around the room in shock. His co worker is sat in the corner and asks him what is up. We filmed this scene in one of the old media rooms because we had to make sure the room looked like an office. We also carried on editing the film before we started filming to make sure that we were up to date. We uploaded all the footage from the filming day onto the Mac and left it for next lesson.

Filming Diary - 01/03/2013

Today we began filming our extra scene. We needed to add some time onto our film, by adding a previously un-filmed scene. The scene takes place in Adrian's office, and Matthew is finally added to the cast list as an unidentified co-worker of Adrian. Below are the photographs taken on the set.

The Script - Scene 4 (Back to the Future) Revised

This is a revised version of Scene 4. The film wasn't quite long enough, and we had some ideas that we could include, should that problem occur.

The last line needs to be changed from "How you react is yours" to "How they react is theirs". That was a bit of a slip up!
