Media Movie pre-production

-
Alone



The genre is sci-fi, fiction, mystery.

Characters
- Jack played by me
- Scientist played by Joseph Simmons


The plot
Jack discovers he is alone in his town/on Earth. The movie follows Jack as he tries to survive on his own. However, it turns out the reason Jack is alone is cause he is in an government experiment in which they are testing very realistic virtual reality.

Filming locations

 -My house
-College

I thought these locations would be good as they are easy to access. I also thought the production room would fit well as a labatory, meeting the codes and conventions of sci-fi.





Health and safety

There isn't much danger when it comes to the filming locations apart from tripping on wires in the production room. However, they should be moved if there is any in the way.






 Stripboard

 All filming is done at day time and only two people are required. It will also take two days to record




Script
(Camera is picked up and turned on)
(cuts to static and cuts back)
Jack: "Hello? I believe I'm the last person left on Earth... something like that. My parents are gone, and no one is outside driving. I've checked the internet, and no one is talking. There's no sign of human life anywhere I look.
(cuts to static and cuts back)
Jack: "I thought maybe I should get my sister camera out and record my last moments. I'm going to try my best to survive. I going to update my survival here on this vlog"
(cuts to static and cuts back)
Jack: 'It's been a few days since I've realized I'm the last person on Earth. I'm beginning to think humanity was extinct by aliens or disease?'
(cuts to static and cuts back)
Jack: 'Plenty of food, I've just went into shops and taken it there is no one else to take me. Uh, I really dunno whats going on'
(cuts to static then cuts back to a camera taking photos)
Scientist: 'He's starting to realize it's not real. I've got to do something about this.'
(cuts to Jack talking to camera again)
Jack: New update. I went as far as I could to the city near me. Which is a good few miles, which shows for a few miles there is for sure no humans. There is no activity on the internet, which still works fine. I can look at anything which has been posted prior to the day everyone disappeared. I'm becoming suspicious that*pause* things don't seem real... the world it seems all fake, but I don't know why. The weather stays the same a lot, I think the water and electricity wouldn't be running if humans were extinct' *cuts to black*

storyboard


I am not very good at drawing... sorry

Costume/props
-Robert must wear a different set of clothes each scene as it is each a separate day.
-In one scene and on the camera he must be wearing a coat as it shows he is going outside.
-Joseph should wear headphones and a lab coat if they can be found.

















Music
I used a sad piano add the end as it was to influence how the audience is meant to feel about the ending. The music I used was from YouTube, the video was called 'Sad Piano Music'

Preparation for filming

-
Costume For costumes I wanted to show that the main character George was a normal working man who lived an innocent life before getting blackmailed. So to do this I used a plain white shirt with a black tie to show he is a worker. I also needed a hoodie for stalker character however the person playing him didn't have any and we could get any that would fit him. So instead we used one of his jackets with a large collar and used that to 'hide' his face. Location For locations I needed a bathroom for filming the dressing scene. However, my own bathroom is to small for filming in so I used my friends Luke's bathroom which was quite large and perfect for filming in. We also needed a path that we could use that wouldn't have people walk passed them so we used our college campus and used a none populated area. Then for the scene shot in the bar we very luckily had a friend with a bar in his house and used that for the filming. The scene where the blackmail is d...

China removing homosexual scenes 'Bohemian Rhapsody opens in China, minus all the gay bits' 'Homosexuality has been legal in China for more than two decades and the Chinese Society of Psychiatry removed it from the country's classification of mental disorders in 2001.

Most have been positive, with more than 80% of social media users to post reviews on Weibo awarding the film five stars out of five. However, there has been notable criticism of the revisions.'

Storyboard final drafts

Image
This is my final draft for my music video. It opens up with the camera zooming in on the characters face. Then as it zooms it the music starts. The music video follows the same story as my film. Similar to the music video for 'All Star' by Smash Mouth which follows the story of the film Mystery Men. It will have the musicians in the background of the film. However, they wont be acknowledged and the character is the music video will proceed like they don't even exist. There will be scenes like in the 7th box in which it just cuts to the band playing. I improved it from my first draft by changing it from a lyric music video to featuring the band singing in the shots. I also added close-ups and zooms which weren't in my draft at all. This is my final draft for my video-game. It will be a 2-D side scrolling game similar to Mario and Street Fighter. You will have a limited amount of lives and upon death you lose a single life. If your hit 0 lives your game restarts....
