Production Plan 1

I have been off college dealing with personal issues and as a result it has effected re-shooting. I will have to re-shoot everything in the new year in January due to the camera being booked across Christmas. I have uploaded footage of what I have so far to show that I actually have shot something, so there is no time constraint issues.

Update; I was not able to shoot in January due to lack of cameras. I have updated what I'm going to do in Production Plan 2.

Shots/scenes which I need to re-shoot or add		What the problems with this particular scene/shot are		When I am going to re-shoot
The table scene where Alx goes to stab Danny’s hand. The scene where Danny and Ryan are talking about how to deal with the problem. Alx walking across the landing. The scene where Ryan goes to put the box on the table. The scene where Alx is opening the box. The scene where Alx is sat on the bed scribbling on the paper The scene where Danny is asking for help		The problem with this scene is that the lighting is poor. There isn’t much emphasis on the dialogue in particular when Danny replies. I could replace this with a voice over. This scene doesn’t really communicate any common elements of a horror trailer and is poorly lit.   He doesn’t hold the box still and isn’t in view. There needs to be an overhead shot of Alx taking the objects out one by one and a close-up of the objects. The lighting needs to be improved. When the close-up is shown of Danny, the lighting needs to be improved too		In the new year - January In the new year - January In the new year - January In the new year - January In the new year - January In the new year – January In the new year - January

Re-thinking a couple of things after feedback

In my previous post  about the inspiration for the project, there are stories associated with artefacts, boxes etc. I stated an example regarding the dybbuk from the 1970s: a possessed woman who was being "choked" by the necklace she was wearing. This necklace had been given to her by a parent, her father, who had committed incest with her. In addition, the father held her over the throat when he did that to her. I had feedback from peers that the synopsis was not cleared up and so I decided to change it.

For my story, "A 10 year old girl in 2002 had lost her family, she was taken into care and as a result; she became mentally unstable. She envied those who had happy families and all that kept her happy was this incense stick box with weird carvings that her parents bought her before she lost them. She would often write little messages on paper and put them in the box as a good luck charm. The carers became increasingly concerned and confiscated it from her. She became so angry and ran away, nobody had head from her since...until now." So the dybbuk which is associated with the box is that 10 year girl and is seeking revenge on those who are happy families and will cling to the subject who she sees as most happy.


Another piece of Feedback was that I could elborate on the scene where Danny is lying on the ground and you can see the shadow of Alx's hair. Ryan suggested to me that this idea is german expressionism so I decided to create some power point slides looking in to this.
