MID-EVALUATION - More changes

'My latest idea is a suicide cult film. A few friends are waiting for another friend before a night out. When they meet him he kills himself, and then the others start killing themselves too, but nobody knows why.'
That idea is the same, but as the film only came out at around one minute and twenty seconds long, I needed to add to the idea. So the plot has been extended. Before we see them waiting for the night out, we first see the original 'suicide friend' on the phone, and then suddenly locked in a room, and heard shouting and being beaten up. Then another scene has been added of that friend getting ready, and the others. This is a contrast of the two different scenario's they find each other in. This should lead to more confusion, as we hear the person being beaten up, but then we see him kill himself. This is to add to my mysterious, surreal idea. If the opening starts off like this, it should keep the viewer indulged, and waiting to see more, so then they can finally find out what is happening.

MID-EVALUATION - Filming complete!

I have re-filmed what had to be done. I believe now when I go to edit the film, it should be perfect. I wanted the film to be slightly surreal, and mysterious. However I wanted the opening to be fast paced, and full of shock. I believe I have achieved this. I have added scenes to the beginning. I will begin the final editing process on monday.

MID-EVALUATION - Impact

My opening scene is very high tempo. 3 people are killed in it, and the music reflects on the high tempo. This is to shock the viewer, and to grab their attention right from the beginning. 

SUBSEQUENT PLANNING - Acting

I believe the acting is medicore, every actor get's the right point across. However our main actor came down ill on the day, and therefore had to be replaced; the new actor was rather poor.

MID-EVALUATION - Current Film

The whole film is shot, and has been brought together. However I am not happy with the film, and there is only a few days left. Certain shots suddenly end briefly, and speech is cut. This must have been a problem with the camera. Also there are a few shots in between missing, which I will need for continuity. Also the current film is only approximately one minute, and twenty seconds long. This means I will have to add scenes to my plot. I aim to make a new story board, and have the re-takes/add on's completed by monday.

SUBSEQUENT PLANNING - Credits

My credits are shown randomly thoughout the opening scene. I made them on live-type. The font is a horror font, in the style of writing made out of blood. However it is white, with a purple border. I used an effect called 'frigid' on this, which makes the writing shake. It is on a black background to stand out.
