Explanation of the quote "For whom the bell tolls" (Intertexuality)

"For Whom the Bell Tolls" - Intertexuality quote e by Dan.T on GoAnimate

Animated Presentations - Powered by GoAnimate.

I decided to look at specific meanings that I could include as dialogue in my trailer which would add intertexuality. I used a goanimate to explain the interpretation as opposed to just plain text - using different ways of presenting my research. I decided to use this mainly as it's a famous Metallica song title and I heard the line used by a character in The Walking Dead game.

Audience Profile

I decided to make my audience profile on PowerPoint to show case the use of ICT to present this.

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

Genre theory

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.

 

 





Health and safety assessment

Hazards	Who is at Risk	Controls	Severity of injury	Chance of Injury	Risk	Control measures
Falling from the top of the stairs	Alx	To be aware of stairs and stand a reasonable distance away.	High	Medium	Medium	Instructed to just be aware, watch footing when walking out.
When the knife scrapes across the plate, material could flick out and go into the cast’s eye	Alx and Danny	To gently scrap The knife across	Medium	Medium	Medium	To keep at a distance away from the plate.
“Lunging” at the camera	Alx	To hold on to the tri-pod as a guide of when to stop	Low	Low	Low	To keep the camera secure and to have a prompt of when to stop as well by nearby person

This was the first Risk assessment I did for my first shooting.

Hazards	Who is at Risk	Controls	Severity of injury	Chance of Injury	Risk	Control measures
The knife striking Danny’s hand	Danny	To be aware of when the knife reaches Danny’s hand.	High	Medium	Medium	Use a blunt knife just incase something does happen.
When Alx is holding the blade on the tip of her finger	Alx	To make sure the knife doesn’t pierce her finger	Medium	Medium	Medium	Like with Danny, to use a blunt kitchen knife.
The LED light systems	Danny and Alx	To be aware of the light getting too much for the actors	High	Medium	Medium	Adjust the lighting system and take breaks so that the light doesn’t blind them both.
When Alx is holding the kitchen blade	Alx	To hold the blade away	High	Medium	Medium	Walk steadily so Alx won’t trip and damage herself

This was the second risk assessment that I did for my second shooting.
