Presentations Q&A

Do we have permission to film in the coffee shop? As the coffee shop is owned by Liams parents he was able to ask them if we will be allowed to film in the coffee shop, we have been given permission, generously.

How will day dreams or night dreams differentiate from 'normal' life filming? We have a few ideas as to how we will make it obvious a flash back is happening, however we need to make a clear distinction between a day dream and a night dream, as night dreams are more disturbing. We will make the flashbacks obvious that they are a memory by perhaps adding echos to the characters voices, this may work as the protagonists memory is not perfect, so the bluring of the speech adds to the lack of information (change this if you don't like it, just a suggestion guys;) We have also considered making the flashbacks black and white.

Does the Protagonist know he is the antagonist also? The protagonist is unaware that he is also the antagonist, however if given the chance to film the whole film, it would follow the protagonists 'adventure' to find out, by stringing together clues, that he is the antagonist.

How are we presenting the credits? We analysed the opening sequence of Se7en and decided amongst us that the credits are really effective, and relevant to the film. Se7en uses quick shots and jump cuts of quite disturbing imagery whilst the credits are rolling, in a strange unfarmiliar font. Since we used a more advanced type of credits on the Childrens opening sequence, we feel we should go one step further and advance it further; perhaps by creating out own font on Photoshop, as opposed to the set fonts supplied by Final Cut.

What music will we use? As our movie is certified 15 we decided that the music should be more mature. Following thriller conventions we must creat a lot of suspense, using 'cresendos' (music getting louder) and loud noises. We will also use diegetic sound in the coffee shop, however as these sounds may be too quiet to pick up on camera we may need to record typical 'coffee shop noises' and add them over the top of the filming.
