One Shot Movie Planning

My group for the One Shot Movie consists of Martin, Jo, Steve and myself. As mentioned earlier Jo had showed to group a demo of an idea that he'd had, this is the concept that impressed us all:






We have decided to work with this idea.
STORY: People's evil sides revealing themselves through their reflections (web cam) Our original Idea was to have four people sat at computers playing with their web cams and then being scared off by their "evil sides" revealing themselves. The evil halves will also gesture to each other as if they were together on the "bad" side or a parallel world being shown through the monitors.

After several group meetings we polished off the idea by deciding on only two people instead of four, this was mainly due to limitations set by the camera and monitors, four monitors would be a bit of a stretch to see clearly what was going on on all the screens at once, remember our camera is remaining still throughout the shot. Our two protagonists will be playing happily with their web cams, general funny faces etc and as soon as they disappear an evil side to one of them is revealed who will then cross over screens and hurt the person in the other monitor.

SITUATION: A web cam meeting

DIALOGUE: There is no dialogue in this short film, the tension will be both visual and through the music used.

COMPOSITION: As the composition is resticted by the camera and the monitors (we know that cirtain angles will causes a flicking effect on the featured monitor) we will shoot from several different angles to find out what will work out best for the story and the audience.


The tasks that have been handed out are:
Steve - Lighting, Equiptment
Sam - Actress, Costume
Jo - Actor, Concept Artists, Equiptment
Martin - Production Technition

The group met up before the shoot on Friday 7th Nov to descuss our initial ideas, Tuesday 11th Nov to finalise the ideas and to find a suitable location and Thursday 13th Nov to decide the roles of the group members and to carry out further pre-production planning.
