Our try out film progression 1 - Part 1

Hi peeps!! I can finally have some spare time to blog now. It has been a really tough week for me because the assignment deadlines and psyco quiz are set within last week. The life now is more festinating.

I've come to realise that the process of producing a film is really tough, especially the part where video editing comes into play. I have literally no experience in editing a film but I'm glad that my group members helped me out in a lot of ways.

First of December 1.12.2013

We decided to do our film trailer at a mansion which located at Kajang's Country Height.

Lets show you some pictures that i took today.

Idea Variations

The idea of our cult logo.

People need to kill their lover because it will be easy to kill the ones you don't.

Our logo still in progressing. We use skull symbol as our basic tittle because it's quite suitable for our cult film.

Playing around with the lighting and shadows.

It's fun playing around the lighting with my sister. Lighting of photography basically are main, fill, rim and background lighting.These all are just try out and not our cult's noir film yet. But soon, we will do the lighting soon. Stay tuned for the upcoming post!

Contextual Visuals

Our storyboard & plot.

Beginning:

The first scene started with our main character running away from a mysterious figure. Her face shows fear as she desperately tries to run away. But it was all a dream.Before all this,a couple of years ago she joined a cult that was based on killing their loved ones. For those who are able to kill their one love was showed that they are able to kill a person without feeling any regret because they experience a true loss.

The cult influence her to kill one of the person that she loved. After that,she is regretted and felt very guilty.So she tried to retire from the cult. She told the cult leader that she is going to quit the cult because her mind and conscience told her that it was wrong.....

She started having dreams which dreams of a unknown person. Her dreams was so real until she can't tell the differences between dreams and reality. She then worried and went to receive a consultations from a doctor.

After that the doctor told her the situation and went to the doctor to receive medications to make her dreams go away for it is driving her mad! After the consultations, she continued to have dreams. That is more vigorous of her dreams. She dreamed about the unknown figure which kept asking her why did she killed him. Does she not love him anymore?

She was heavily influenced by the cult and she choose comply with the teachings of the cult even though she knows that what she is doing is wrong. For the belief of the cult is that if somebody is capable of killing the person that they love, they will not be able to feel anything when they kill a stranger because they experience a lost greater than anything and to them without that person life is meaningless so they will submit to the cult.

She started having mysterious cuts on her arm and bruises. As she woke up from one of her horrible dreams the figure was standing right in front of her, and he was holding a knife. As he raises the knife, her hands was following the actions of the figure.....

IDEATION CRIT - PART 4

DIALOGUE/NARRATIVE

This is our group's plot and dialogues that we all "brain frying". And we add some interest scenes into it.
Firstly, we combined our different ideas into one, it was a little bit confusing because we add on the multiple personality disorder as our topic.But after we discussing the storyline with Mr Charles, he helps us to solve the problem of confusing.

Then here is it. Take a look!

IDEATION CRIT - PART 3

DESIGN REFERENCES

What multiple personality disorder will do..

The ideas are come from these movie.

http://www.imdb.com/list/Hl_NTbj1WyI/

A doctor treats a woman suffering from Multiple Personality Disorder.

I found a really cool publicity photo from The Three Faces of Eve that someone had scanned.

Eve White is a quiet, mousy, unassuming wife and mother who keeps suffering from headaches and occasional black outs. Eventually she is sent to see psychiatrist Dr. Luther, and, while under hypnosis, a whole new personality emerges: the racy, wild, fun-loving Eve Black. Under continued therapy, yet a third personality appears, the relatively stable Jane. This film, based on the true-life case of a multiple personality, chronicles Dr. Luther's attempts to reconcile the three faces of Eve. multiple personalities.

Raising Cain (1992)

Jenny Nix, wife of eminent child psychologist Carter Nix, becomes increasingly concerned about her husband's seemingly obsessive concern over the upbringing of their daughter. Her own adulterous affair with an old flame, however, causes her to neglect her motherly duties until a spate of local kidnapings forces her to accept the possibility that he may be trying to recreate the twisted mind-control experiments of his discreditied psychologist father.

LETS THE AUDIENCE GUESSING.

UPSIDE DOWN AS THE ENDING.

To finish this post, let's take a look at another split personality. I must warn sensitive readers, this is can be uncomfortable and scary.

A Bit of Fry and Laurie - Split Personality:

I think our storyline is pretty intresting , i never thought i could do something like this. We always watch movie but we never know how hard of making one movie and how hard to plot it out step by step.

It was tiring but i think it will be very fun while filming out of our own movie.

I can't wait til the day which our movie released. HAHA :)

IDEATION CRIT - PART 1

IDEATION VISUALS

Hi readers, it's quite a long time since my last post.. I'm sorry for not continuously blogging in these few weeks. Life in Uni now was so hasted and of course the level of stress never been reduced.

Sometimes I was felt like a typical worker, working all day long to complete those works which given by the boss. Okay stop grumbling. Let me start the topic - IDEATION VISUALS.

Firstly ,we were instructed by Mr Charles to form a group. This group have to work together for filming of cult and noir film. Grouping done. My team members were Apple , Sean and Moo.

After grouping, we have to think our storyline. Developing a storyline was quite troublesome for us, at the same time,our minds come out a lot of ideas. Our original plot was pretty interesting however we failed to consider how difficult it would be to film it in the short time and we were forced to make some changes.

This is our original plot from meeeee!

And because my idea was lacking of cults .... so we decided to change the storyline.

So we started to do some research on youtube.

Here are the links from the comedy actor Charlie Chaplin.

The Lion's Cage

The Great Dictator - in a plane

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXQJLzUnP7c

From the beginning we planned to do comedy film with no sounds as we guessed other group might do the noir film with sounds. We want to be the special one so here our final storyline after brainstorm for few days.
