Planning - Considering Mise-en-Scene For Your Opening

Mise-en-Scene

Introduction

Every single detail on this page will extremely help us organise what we need to buy or gather to make our film more professional and interesting. Most products we have but some will have to be brought and we would need to do some research on this to make sure we buy the best product.

Costumes

Chad

Clothes:

Chad would wear a tight fitting white T-shirt to outline his muscles 

and dark blue jeans with fashionable trainers. He would carry a jacket or jumper and wear it occasionally. 

Reason:

The reason for this choice in clothes is we think that it outlines his personality and shows that he is obsess with his appearance. 

Images: 

White T-shirt



Dark blue jeans



Nike trainers



Grey jumper

• Billy

Clothes:

Billy's clothes would be a big dull coloured jacket with baggy/lose dark blue jeans and some simple trainers.

Reason:
The reason for this is that Billy's clothes need to be baggy and boring to make a chilled out look to represent his personality.

Images:

Big dull jacket

Baggy dark jeans

 

  

Basic trainers

• Jodie

Clothes:

Jodie's clothes would be a checkered shirt, glasses, band T-shirt, black trousers, conserves or docs and long hippie necklaces.

Reason:
We have chosen these clothes because it highlights that she is geeky, urban and chilled.

Images:

Checkered shirt

Glasses

band T-shirt









Black trousers



Docs

  

Long hippie necklaces 

• Tim

Clothes:

Tim would wear something smart but casual like beige trousers, camping boots, brown opened top and jumper.

Reason:
The reason for these chose of clothes was to express Tim's personality of being a smart and kind lad.

Images:

Beige trousers 

 

  

Camping boots

brown open top

Jumper

• 'The girl in white'

Clothes:

The girl will be wearing a white vintage looking nightgown.

Reason:

The reason for this is to highlight that she has ran away 

and that she is a scary little girl.

Props

We need:

• A pair of glasses

Reason:
The reason we need glasses is for the character Jodie to make her vintage image stand out more.  

Image:
 

• Torturing tools

Reason:
We need these props as without them there wouldn't be any clear reason to what  'The girl in white' is going to do to the group of teenagers.

Image:

• Wood

Reason:
Wood is going to be used to make fire for one of the night time scenes.

Image:

• Two tents

reason:
One tent is for Chad and Billy another tent is for Tim and Jodie. The tents makes the audience believe that there are camping and staying in the woods in the middle of nowhere. the second tent is incase the first tent break.


Image:

• Ropes

Reason:
The ropes will be used to tie up all the group to the trees to highlight that they have been kidnapped and about to be murdered and eaten by 'The girl in white'

Image:

Equipment

• Laptop

Reason:
We need the laptop to connect to the TV to show the news clip that we would have made. Without this we wouldn't be able to show the news story.

Image:

• Car/Van

Reason:
When we go to film we would need a car or van to take us there and back from locations, if not then we wouldn't be able to get to our destination in one trip.

Image:

• Two cameras

Reason:
We might just need one camera but we will bring two just in case one of the cameras runs out of battery or we need to film one thing at to different angles at once.

Image:

• Lighter

Reason:
The lighter will be used to make the fire and without it we would struggle making the fire for the night time scene.

Planning - Casting For Your Opening

Casting

Introduction

The reason for making this page is to help me and my group decide who will be playing the characters in our film and why. This page will help us though-out the rest of our planning as it will help are decisions in mise-en-scene, shot list and treatment.


1 
Their name: George                        
Characters name: Chad

Their age: 16                                  
Characters age: 18

Their personality:  George is a joker that stays to him self but talks to anyone when he wants.
               
Characters personality: The character Chad is annoying, rude and acts like a jock and a joker. He is the oldest of the group so he picks on people but says its a joker and doesn't notice he can hurt peoples feelings. 

Reason for picking George: We picked George to play Chad as he physically and mentally suits the character. We all know that George is confident and will do what we say in front of the camera.

This is a picture of George who is playing Chad.

3
 Their name: Alex                    
Characters name: Billy

Their age: 16                                    
Characters age: 17

Their personality: Alex is sometimes quite but also very confident and sometimes annoying. His look is a typical teenage boy with a bit of a chilled out vibe.
Characters personality: The characters personality is somewhat the same as Alex's as in the clothes he wears. The difference between them is that Billy is has a slow chilled out vibe to him and when he talks its either a joke or something rude. Billy and  Jodie are a couple and there relationship is a typical horror movie relationship as there personality and physical appearance is what you normal see in a horror movie or any movie.

Reason for picking Alex: The reason we picked Alex was that we all knew that he would suit the part because his looks matches the characters name and personality. Also half of his personality is the same as the character Billy we want him to play.

This is a picture of Alex who is playing Billy. 

4 
Their name: Ophelia              
 Characters name: Jodie

Their age:  16                                  
Characters age:  16

Their personality: Ophelia is unique, loud and confident but also resembles the typical social media geek. She is kind and sometimes a bit strange but in a good way.
Characters personality: The characters personality is she is a quiet shy girl that looks cute as in she wears glasses and band T-shirts. Jodie is the youngest of the group and keeps herself excluded when she doesn't want to speak her mind. She has moments when she is confident and leads the group in certain situations which no body would expect.

Reason for picking: We picked Ophelia as she defiantly looks like Jodie's personality. We also picked her as she has a feel of acting from GCSE. As well Ophelia's unique confident side would match Jodie's confident part of her personality successfully.

5
Their name:  Ashley                  
Characters name:  Tim

Their age: 16                                
Characters age: 17

Their personality:   Ashley is a know it all who is confident but secretly shy. He looks like a cool geek who loves science and maths.                    
Characters personality: The character we want Ashley to play is gay, shy and smart. He wears very urban geek clothes that include boots, jumpers and bland tops.

Reason for picking Ashley: We chose Ashley as he has a shy, chilled side what he can put into the character. Ashley also does A level drama and did GCSE drama, so we know that he is not afraid to get in front of a camera and do what we say.

This is a picture of Ashley who is playing Tim.

6
Their name: Alice                      
Characters name: 'The girl in white'

Their age:  16                                  
Characters age: 12

Their personality: Alice is sweet, kind, cheerful and funny. She wears cute normal girly clothes but can act very boyish.                  
Characters personality: The character we want Alice to play hasn't really got a personality but she looks dull, dark and lifeless. The character walks slow but with a blank sad looking on her face.

Reason for picking Alice: The reason we picked Alice was because she is small and young looking so she would suit being a 12 year old. As well we wanted the girl to look scary but still cute and Alice's long dark brown/black hair and olive skin perfectly mirrors the girls image.
