Final ideas for last shoot

Shooting Schedule 4:
Thursday 11th March
Hopefully this will be our final shoot. Here we expect to film the remaining shots, which include;

Flashbacks:

* Jack getting dragged out of the strobed party (POV).
* Jack being led upstairs (POV).
* People smoking outside and then Jack being offered drugs by a man in an animal masks.
* Jack taking the drugs, in pill form.
* Jack back in party dancing away in a hallucination state, with everyone surrounded round him staring.
* Argument/fight in the party involving Jack.

Verses:

* Jack going downstairs in the early hours of the morning after getting dressed, to find party goers scattered about, in an untidy fashion.
* Jack walking to the kitchen to make himself a drink, but is trembling in a state of shock. Someone comes up to him to see if he is alright, Jack then looks up and they are wearing an animal mask.
* Jack rushing out to the corridor to be greeted by four party goers draped in animal mask, surrounding him, until it becomes to much for Jack and he storms out of the house.
* Jack then walking outside across the road to get hit by a car

this however may change due to our decision to cut the music by 30 seconds.

Shooting x 3

On this day we plan to film everything we can explained in the 'teacher feedback 3' post that includes just the protagonist (Jack Clegg) and his mysterious lover. This will be the bulk of verse one and part of verse 2, as well as almost all of the flashback scenes.

Shots we will need include:
For the verses:
Jack waking up to discover what he has just done. ie. look down at a pile of clothes and a condom.
Leaving the bedroom to go to the bathroom
Looking at himself in the bathroom mirror to see a bear mask stare back at him.
Shower scene, Jack 'washing away the guilt'.
Coming back to his bedroom to get dressed.
Flashbacks (all from my point of view):
Jack being pushed onto his bed by me.
Undressing each other.
Various different sexually suggestive positions, without revealing my identity.

2nd Film shoot

For the second shoot we invited along Todd the little boy featured in the video to represent a younger jack the main character in the video. The idea of using both Todd and jack together to create one character will have to also be seen in the editing to create the look and the impression that he represents the younger jack. Initially we wanted to create the sense of voyeurism, however with developing the idea when when edit the pieces.


Using the characters in the same position stationary in shot for both jack and Todd will help us to create the idea that both boys are the same characters, Using a steady shot, then close ups of the boys both miming the lyrics will help us to create. The continuity between characters.





We also filmed some small scenes for the montage, the bits to film in a create the flashback type of look for the narrative. Although there will a linear narrative running through the video the small clips of flashback and montage will help us to create the idea that he is regretting his past actions that's why he is constantly thinking back, fitting in with the story.

Organising Film shoot

In the video we are basing the story around a party scene which obviously we need to create, due to needing people for the shoot, we decided to create a facebook group to invite them all to the filming shoot describing what their roles involve and what type of clothing they need to wear. This will able us to work well with our friends creating the best possible mise- en- scene for our video. By informing all our friends their roles we will able to commence on filming straight away.
