Production logo



We have chosen to do a dark eerie logo because we liked the look of twisted pictures so we based our chosen design on that.

Feedback for the two minute film opening

So far we have done about half of our 2 minute film opening and the criticism we got was good for our project because we have taken this on board and have decided to add different shots and to create more suspense. The criticism we got was that:

  1. The audience did not feel sorry for the female victim because we do not really see her much in the opening. 
  2. The wrench is not clear enough so we have decided to have a close up on that to make sure the audience knows what it is.
  3. The cut between the mans smile turn to a frown and the woman being dragged away needs to be more clear why that is happening so we are having a shot of Dave swinging the wrench at her.
  4. Dave's smile is not clear the audience thought it was Elizabeth smiling and then frowning therefor to make it clear we will change the shot completely to Elizabeth's smile go to a frown so we will be showing the reaction instead of the killers face.
Due to these comments we are filming on the 16/01/12 to get the film finished hopefully before the end of the week.

New shooting regime






We have had to create a new shooting schedule and a new storyboard because we want to create more suspense and we want to audience to feel sorry for Sophie (Elizabeth Howard). To do this we have added extra shots of Sophie doing 'normal' things so the audience get to care about her a little more (and therefore the film should have a greater impact on the audience).

Our music choice







We have chosen to use the structure from In the house in a heartbeat to compose our back ground music above we have sheet music for a piano and a guitar so that our musicians can play it and change it so that the music is not copyright.
We have also decided to change the narrating that goes over the pictures at the beginning for this music because we think that it makes more sense and would sound better to the audience.
