Bunker Photos

This is one of the long corridors, it is pitch black inside the bunker even in day light 


There are lots of corners to go round which lead to more rooms and corridors. In filming this will make the audience feel edgy and anxious. 
This is how the bunker looks from the outside as you can see there is quite alot of Graffiti on the walls and there is more inside the actual bunker. We will try to avoid having graffiti in the background of the shots.












To get to the bunker from la plulente you have walk along the cliff top path

Diegetic and Non-Diegetic sound

Diegetic Sound

This is sound which is present during a film which the source of the sound is visible on the screen for example the voices of characters, sounds made by things and objects on the screen and instruments making music.



Non- Diegetic sound

This is sound which the source isnt visible on screen and isnt present in the action. For example Narrators commentary sound effects added for dramatic effect and mood music. This sound represents as coming from a source outside story space.

Filming plan.

Roles for filming: 
Me: A dolly  shot down the pathway leads to entrance of the bunker 
Alice: Films down the tunnel, and the girl sitting at the end of the tunnel. 


different idea:

Girl sitting in bunker, going crazy, camera shows quick flash backs of her being abused. Hears a noise, turns around and sees a silhouette of a man standing in the light, thinks the man is her father she is hiding from so runs out of the bunker. 

Actors: Louise Eden plays the girl hiding in the bunker
            Jared Tomkins plays her father standing in the entrance of the bunker.

Bunker

Yesterday i went with alice to the bunker we are using for the location of our film. We took a few pictures to show the long winding path leading down to the bunker, and the long dark corridor. The bunker is still pitch black even when its day light outside so we only took a picture of the corridor. During filming we will bring torches and candles. I haven't got a camera lead for my camera but when my home computer is fixed i will upload the pictures using my camera printer.

Story line of the film


If the whole film was to be made It would be about a girl who escaped from home and went to live in complete darkness isolated from the world in a deserted bunker. It turns out that throughout her childhood she was abused by her father and after putting up with all the torture and abuse she flips and resorts to stabbing him. After this she is so frightened she runs away, throughout the film the memories keep coming back of her father even though he is dead....

Changing back to film making.

I know it might be too late but i have have decided to switch to making a film again and work with my friend alice
because i have a location in mind that i can use for the film that i didn't have before. i haven't done much for my magazine so i haven;t wasted much time and if i work hard enough with alice and catch up on the work we can go through with making the film, as i feel more inspired by film making. 

we will still be using Alices story line and idea but may incorperate some of the ideas from my original story line i had from the beginning.

For the location of the  film we will be using a deserted bunker at la plulente in St Ouens. The atmosphere of the bunker is errey and dark which is perfect  for the film.

Firstly i have to make my preliminary.

I have chosen to use this contents page for my magazine, it is colourful and interesting to read but still clear for the reader.

magazine

I realised that my film would be too hard to produce and film
by myself and find a suitable location so i've decided to switch to making a music magazine instead.

contined...

After the camera views the bed it zooms into the floor and sees a video camera lying on the floor the video camera's screen goes fuzzy and a video is played showing a girl being murdered. the camera suddenly goes black and then shows an eye the eye looks left and right and heavy breathing noises are made.

not quite sure about this,

Media film notes

The film is about rape and murder, inspired by the film 'Gothika'.

location- shed in field (pond) .. havent found a place yet.

This is what i have so far..

For the first few seconds of the film the camera hovers over water. Starts showing names of actors and the director. then the camera continues over the water and moves quickly through the grass making a loud rustling sound, the camera then focuses on a shed and zooms into shed going through the walls and down a corridor around loads of corners up to create suspense steps viewing photos on the wall of victims the shed is very dark with only white light coming through the small windows . camera snap shot noises are made and distant laughter to show that the victims are very young. When the camera finally gets to the top of the steps it views a hospital like bed with stains of blood on there is also blood on the walls and different tools hanging on hooks, the is one light hanging from the ceiling directly above the bed the light is yellow to create a sickly kind of atmosphere.
