Journey Planning

As we need to travel to London, we need to consider the time our journey and how to get to each place from where we are at the time

By using TFL website we were able to find the fastest route possible to where we needed to go and the train times as well so we were able to plan in advance what time we would all need to meet.

 

From the Greenwich foot tunnel we then need to get to Greenwich park. Using journey planner, from our first location we could either walk or a bus route is available however it will take around half an hour using either route.

Updated Shot List

This is an updated version of our original shot list with more detail as we have now decided on the shots we wanted, the locations and confirmed our filming dates with our actors.

Script

During the opening and the closing of our trailer, we have decided that we want to have a voice over that sounds like a voicemail. The voicemail will be left by Alexia and it is unclear who it is to. We decided that we will not give too much information about Alexia's situation during the voicemail but will present her feeling lost and alone with the idea that her life has changed.

I have written a draft script for the voice over that I will then discuss with Mia  what emotions I want her to express and record her and see how it sounds.

In the voiceover, we want Alexia to sound quite exhausted and scared, as if she has left on an impulse ((dispense))) and is unsure of what to do next.

Shot List

Here are the shots lists for our trailer, we have currently established two main locations Croydon and London for where we want filming to take place. Looking at each of the locations we have planned that each location will be easy to reach and can hopefully be done within two days and then we will allow time for re filming if required, however we wish to film in a variety of ways to allow us to have lots of footage to work with.

Change in Actors

As we were planning, we decided that we are actually going to use Rasharn, originally the attacker, as Alexia's love interest instead of Daniel. This is because he is more available to film with as he goes to the same school and we also decided that as a plot twist in our film, Alexia's love interest was part of the organisation that is hunting them, however he accidentally falls in love with her. We felt that this would also be more suitable as he does Drama A Level so would be good at developing this character to show the struggle he faces between his love for Alexia and his contract with the organisation. We will also be sticking with the name Arby as it is more unusual and supports the slightly futuristic element we've chosen to portray in our storyline.

New Character Profile:

Name: Arby
Age: 18
Job: Works for the organisation that is hunting 'The Others'
Interests: Reading books, listening to music
Birthday: 15th December
Home Life: Lives alone in a small apartment in London
Height: 5ft 11"

Arby is Alexia's love interest in the film. He comes across as fairly shy and caring however faces his own struggles - the torment of loving Alexia but his obligation to the organisation meant to be hunting her. This develops his character further as he can be brave but it also allows the audience to like and dislike him throughout the film, creating more tension.

We decided to use Rasharn for this character as he does drama a level alongside Mia (Alexia) therefore is used to working with her and as they are good friends it won't be awkward when filming. As he does drama he is a good actor therefore can make the character more realistic and understands the need for commitment as this task is important to our coursework.
