Long Time Running: Location Shots

The location we will be filming at is Moorland Private School, Clitheroe.  We decided to choose this location because it quite a large, old building that I feel created with the right effects, filming and cinematography could create an highly adrenaline fueled location which we hope can appeal to the thriller-zombie genre.

Long Time Running: Script and Voiceover

This is the script that will be used when we a producing Long Time Running, there is not a lot of dialogue in this as it is heavily visual.  It maybe changed during production as to keep to the alloted time limit.

(Cut to morning after)

MB: Ahhhh! (Stretching)

(Sits down)

(Laughing of child can be heard from flashback)

MB: (Laughs) Go on go ahead!

MK: Okay! Who are they?

MB: I don't know! (.5) Hello?!

(Sees Z, turns around and grabs MK hand)

MB: Come on! Run!

(MK falls, caught by Z)

MK: Dad! Come back...

(Screams can be heard. Heavy breathing and running fades out)

(MB crying)

(Interrupted by a loud moan)

(Slow steps echoed by the corridor as MB steps into corridor)

(Growling heard from Z)

(MB screams, running and heavy breathing heard)

(MB falls, screen turns black. Screaming stops, Z moan carries on)

Long Time Running: Animatic Storyboard

Once our storyboard was complete, we animated it. We chose which clips to cut and extend, making shots smaller and larger in order to make the film fit together correctly. We then chose an appropriate sound to add to the animation. The sound we chose fitted into the thriller genre perfectly as it contained lots of strings and tinned sound, creating tension as well as an uneasy atmosphere. This is important as it gives us a better impression as to how our own film will turn out.
When examined our animation it became clear that the beginning shots need to be longer to give the audience chance to adjust to the shot. It also became apparent that some of the middle shots are not needed and it was too complicated. We will correct this before our own film to make a successful thriller film.

technology to be used!

For our film we will be using a Cannon MD235 camcorder to record our film. We are using these are they are relatively new as they came on the scene on 9th january 2008 and we have access to them. in my opinion they are very good as testfreaks.com have rated them 7.2 out of 10. Another piece of technology we will be using for editing our film will be imovie pro, iMovie is a proprietary video editing software application which allows Mac, iPod Touch 4th generation and iPhone 4 users to edit their own home movies. It was originally released by Apple in 1999 as a Mac 0S application bundled with the first FireWire-enabled consumer Apple model. Furthermore for our editing we shall be using a website called Dafont.com as it gives an incredibly wide variety of fonts to use for our credits.
