Final Tweaks

We are finally at a point where we have completed filming and are now in the process of editing the narration and any additional effects. The film has turned out quite well and we are looking forward to getting a reaction from the audience in next weeks screenings. 

Narration and Sound

After the first edit of our film we decided as a team that we definitely needed a narration to help tell the story. We have drafted a script and have a willing volunteer to help us to add a female voice over to our film. The narration will talk about the way in which the woman feels about journey into isolation. 

Premium Beat is a website that enables you to download royalty free music, and this is helpful for us if we decide its necessary to add music over our film. There are a few tracks that stand out so far, however at this point the narration is the priority.

Change of plan : Improvise

So the bad news is that we havent had any reply from the council regarding permission to film on the estates that we had chosen. This means that we are going to have to improvise a bit and find new locations that we dont need permission for, that still fit the criteria of our film.

Searching for actors!! : Permission from council to film

For our film we are going to need a female actress who is willing to participate in our film for free. Thankfully our university has a Drama and Theater Society which meant that we could post adds on there Facebook page to see if anyone was interested. 

We have also been in contact with a number of actresses outside of university, via email and through associates.

Projections Research

Steve Mcqueen is an English film director, screen writer, and video artist. He has worked with projections on many acations, including famously one of Kanye Wests music video. This image above is what i am most interested in, as it shows us what it would look like to project on multiple sides of a screen. If we were to create an object for example a square or triangle using screens we could tell a story from multiple angles. This is an interesting concept as the angles couple be literal or metaphorical, and we can use Tarantino's famous 360 tracking shot to show all the sides of the object. 

Additional research

Finding a location online

Finding free locations to shoot in Leeds meant that we needed to go online and search. Thankfully we discovered shoot factory which is a company that lets out locations such as this old abandoned building in Leeds to allow people to film. This space could potentially be were we will build our giant triangle of projection screens. It has more then enough space to be able to build a track around the triangle. The only problem is that we do not know how much it will cost to shoot on this site without a response to our inquiry.
