Finishing the film

On the last day of working on the film, we got together with each of our scenes and put them together to get our final result.

Voice recording

For kayleigh's scene, she decided to go with drawing each panel and putting them together into a 'comic' styled animation. She decided draw out her scene instead of film, as it would relate back to her seed of 'hands'. It relates to her project because it is hand drawn, thus giving it a more 'hand crafted' feel.

In her scene she needed a voice actor for the gypsy and a voice actor for the main character. I was the voice of the gypsy and Art was the voice of the main character (as he plays the main character in the film). Kayleigh wrote out a script and got us to say the lines she needed as she recorded them.

Working On my scene

So far I have worked on and hopefully completed my scene for the group project. To edit the scene, I used windows movie maker, and used a photo from earlier that we had taken when scouting for areas to film. Here is my scene so far:

If you notice, I used the bed sheets I had made before in semester 1, as I thought it would be a shame to lose it.

Scouting for areas

For the last scene we needed a tower. Luckily there's a tower up Law Hill in Dundee that we can use. Here are some of the photos we took that day of the camera angles we would use for the final scene.

Filming

Today we filmed my scene and Art's scene. For the actor, we ended up using Art and had help with filming from our friend Emma Rankin who has expericence in using video cameras. For my scene we used my flat bed room, and we used Law Hill for Art's scene.

My scene

In our team we are each responsible for our own scenes. My scene is the first scene (with the man suffering from strange dreams). I decided I wanted to have it slightly abstract, in which it would consist of a man going to bed, but the screne cutting sharply to show the man's strange dreams. Here is a story board I have sketched so far of what I want my scene to be:

Between each slide, it would have the camera screne cutting out to the next slide. The scene would then end wiht it fading out to Rob's scene.

Team decided

We decided on having a running plot through out our short film, and each of use is responsible for a scene. There would be 5 scenes in total.

The plot of the film, is to have a man who suffers from strange dreams and visions (my seed 'dreams' and rob's seed 'industry' is represented here), eventually goes to seek the advice of a fortune teller (kayleigh's seed 'hands' is used here) who tells him he must find this spell book and go to a tower to perform a ritual to rid himself of these visions. (Steven and Art's seeds are represented here) The film ends with the man ruining the ritual at the last minute, and destroys him.
