Main Task 'No Way Out' - Bloopers

Main Task 'No Way Out' - Version 1

Main Task 'No Way Out' - Version 2

Equipment used for Main Product

Within the making of 'No Way Out' we used various equipment to get the camera angles and shots needed. When we first used the equipment we wasn't fully sure on how to use it to get the right shots however practising in different areas and looking at the equipment (the tripod) we were easily able to use if effectively. 

The camera however we decided to use a camera like a Hitachi because it was easier to film in certain areas and it also has really good quality when filming certain main shots. 

Main Task - Story Proposal

Main Task - 

Premise: The story of a girl being kidnapped and taken into the woods by a strange person (KIDNAPPER).

Narrative: LAURA is a teenager in her house washing dishes when someone knocks at the door, as she goes to open the door, no one is there. LAURA then gets weird text messages from an unknown number which she ignores and carries on with her day as she believes that it doesn’t pose any threat.  What LAURA doesn’t know is that a strange figure (KIDNAPPER) is following her, LAURA is now tied up and unconscious in the woods, after time LAURA wakes up and suddenly realises where she is and begins to panic and scream for help. You don’t know who is following LAURA or why they have taken her, all will be revealed.

Theme: LAURA’S problems begin when she gets the texts from an unknown number.

Format: A 2 minute opening title sequence to be posted on blog of the AS media group.

Tone: It is set at mid-day and the takes place outside a house and in the woods. The woods are a very isolated place so no one sees what is happening and no one can hear her scream.

Character: Two female actors, one playing the protagonist and the other playing the antagonist. The protagonist is LAURA; she is the victim who gets kidnapped by the strange person. The antagonist is the strange person (KIDNAPPER) however at no point is a name revealed, she is the one to kidnap LAURA but will you find out why?

Editing

During creating the main task, No Way Out, we have been editing all the clips needed for the final cut. Over the past few days I have been looking at all the clips, cropping music, changing the lighting and adding all the extra bits and pieces needed for the main task. Georgia has been helping to look over the final edits of the first draft. 

Make up ideas

When creating our main task we needed to do make up for characters therefore we decided together to look at different make up ideas. In the end we created a scary look for Emma's character and a injured more bruised and blooded look for my character. 

The image to the left is similar to what Emma's character looked like and we used this to follow when creating the look on Emma. The use of make up was effective because it made the characters in our main task more scary and more obvious to the audience that my character has been hurt over time. 



In the end my characters look came out like this - We looked online and then also used our own interpretation to create the tired, bruised and beaten look for my character. 

Production Designs

Here are the four ideas we created to chose from for our production design. Designing each one meant we could then have choice. The reason we chose the name Howling pictures is because we have the genre of horror/thriller werewolf's link to horror and scary ideas for the audience to realize the genre even more clearly. 

Progress on Filming - Day 2

Final day of Filming

The final day of filming included make up and costume to change. The make up was done by myself and Emma including the fake blood on clothing. We did all shots needed in my clothes when there was no blood and then we did all shots needed with blood and make up.To get the black and worn out look for make up we also used eye shadow pallets creating the black underneath the eyes. 

Using spray fake blood also help create the fresh flowing blood look on my neck and face. To avoid filming errors I kept my coat on from the previous shot because although I was seen to be kidnapped I can't just lose a piece of costume. 

Progress - Final bit of filming

Camera Shots

Main title - Title ideas

We drew out different ideas, once deciding on a official name for the piece we need to now show people in our class asking them to chose their favorite one. This will help because we can get an idea what people (audience) who will be watching will like and prefer. Due to our piece the title needed to be quite scary/horror-like this therefore explaining the fact most of them have either red or black in them. 

Furthermore, once we do the final survey on the favorite one we can add it to the opening credits sequence and to our final piece. 

Completed Questionnaire

This is one of the fifth-teen completed questionnaires. 

What we hope to achieve from our Questionnaire!

From creating a questionnaire we want to receive results to help us with making our Film opening sequence. By having people's opinions it allows us to take into consideration what will work and what won't work when creating the final piece. Also if we just chose it as a group it wouldn't be as good simply because there is hardly any opinion on it, there is only four in my group. Questionnaires is one of many ideas we have had as a group to gather data and information when picking our title, genre and design of the title etc. 

Name decision...

As a group we thought of four ideas for the name of our project. Then we went around our school and asked various people, informing them that it is a horror/thriller, what one was there favorite and why. Most people voted for 'No Way Out' therefore with a popular decision we are going to use this as our name for the main task...
