Film names.

We thought of a variety of names for our film between all three of us which are shown below.

- Confessions.

- un-cut.

- Unidentitfied

- Whisper.

- Victim.

- Confidential

- Split

- Dual

- Swing life

We asked members of the public to see which one they prefered and the results are as follows;

- Confessions = 6

- Un-cute = 5

- Unidentidied = 6

- Whisper = 2

- Victim = 7

- confidential = 1

- split = 3

- Dual = 0

- Swing life = 9

Therefore we decided to call our film swing life.

Drawing storyboard.

This is an image I took of Holly drawing out our storyboard, as i was going through the shots with her, telling her which ones to draw and what shot they were.

Location pictures.

This is an image of the door which leads from the kitchen to the living room where the family party is held. This is where the camera will track too from making the drinks on the kitchen side.

This is an image of the kitchen side that she will be making her alcohol beverages on before making her way into the living room to join the party.



This is an image of the arm chair the girl will be sat in during the family party with her drink. She will be sitting here because it shows she's left out and sat away from the rest of her family.



This is an image of the mirror in the living room where the family party is held. The mirror is where we see the girl being knocked over her identity still being hid.

This is an image of the wall we are using to project the silhouette of our character on to. We chose this wall as it's a plain simple colour so the silhouette will show up well and the colour brown symbolises an earthly/natural colour and we didn't want to use a colour which is too vibrant. This colour is also a darker colour showing her life isn't as nice as she makes it out to be.



This is an image of a mirror we will be doing a few shots in to keep the identity of the character hidden when show some of the flashbacks.

Multimedia sharing.

We decided to tweet on my Twitter during our filming process and to show milestones we reach during the process of making our Media film.

This is a print screen of the first tweet i made during the filming process. When we had just finished preparations and started our storyboard.

This is a print screen of the second tweet i made during our filming process when we finished our storyboard off.

This is the third tweet i made during our filming process after we finished filming the silhouette part of our filming.

We thought of an idea to make our narrative stronger, therefore we have changed all the shots at the beginning. We decided we didn't want the identity of this person to be shown when she's talking to the camera. Instead it just shows the girls silhouette so you can see her talking through the silhouette but not her identity. I feel this will make the audience want to watch on to see if they every do see her identity. In all the flashbacks we decided to still keep her identity hidden so we are going to use shots which show her face hidden so the audience never find out her identity. We decided to do this like in documentaries the person filming identity is usually hidden and we like the idea of the hidden identity.

Changed idea for our film.

We planned on using a boy for the main character, but in the end we couldn't, so all three of us auditioned and did a few shots of the beginning of the film each and filmed them. We then all judged each other and got opinions outside our group. This is how we got our main actor.

We decided on the actor we did in the end because we feel she was the one who acted more natural in front of the camera and it looked like it could be her life. She doesn't seem that vulnerable which makes it better as we were going to use a boy to go against the fact that it would usually be a 'vulnerable girl'.

After we shot these few shots we decided to change the idea for our film anyway. We decided to make the actors identity hidden. We decided to do this because we decided it would make the audience ask questions on the identity and want to watch on to see if the identity gets revealed.
