Attack scene - New Ideas

For our attack scene, which was initially going to be filmed in a similar style to our other scenes (eg, the club exiting scene), we have had another idea. We were concerned that there would be a lack of atmosphere in our fight scene, and that the suspense would not be enough to leave the audience wanting to see more. Therefore we thought that the best thing to do was to add a more mysterious feel to the fight and leave some things unexplained.

A good way to do that would be to have 'black gaps' in the fight scene , where the suspense is built and there is a more threatening atmosphere. Therefore we thought that we would take still images of the fight and transform it into a flickering fight sequence with a voiceover. We were inspired by the style of this music video...



... , especially the way in which it cuts different angles of the same scene together using the flickering of white and black screens. It also carries a chilling, eerie atmosphere, which fits in well with our film and may help to maintain a sense of mystery and tension throughout.

Notting Hill;

Budget of $42 million, grossed $247 million, meaning a profit of $205 million. The film is a romantic comedy, starring Hugh Grant, Julia Roberts and Richard McCabe and was released in 1999.

Bridget Jones Diary;

Had a budget of $26 million, grossed $71.5 million, meaning a profit of $45.5 million. The film is a romantic comedy, starring Renee Zellweger, Colin Firth and Hugh Grant and was released in 2001.

We have noticed a pattern in that the most successful Working Title films are romantic comedies or comedies of another type. Therefore Working Title probably would not be an ideal choice of production company for our film. However, we have noticed that recently they have expanded into the thriller and drama genres more - with films such as Contraband and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.

DVD Cover

Idea for our DVD cover. If we were to make a final copy, we would replace the girl's face with the face of our main character. I created this on photoshop by reducing the opacity of the photograph in the foreground, contrasting it with the bright city lights in the background. I thought that this worked with the storyline of our film - the character being lost into the chaos of the city. I chose to use this font to match in with the font of the titles and credits in our opening. I also added in the age rating we had decided would be appropriate for our film.

Music created for the club scene

Media Club Scene by beckyd

I have created this track to use as the music in the club scene using Sony Acid X software. We decided that we should create our own music in order to avoid any issues with copyrighted material, and so that we could make sure that the music was a perfect fit with the mood we wanted for the scene. The music needed to be fast paced with a darker feel than usual 'dance' music, therefore I added deeper tracks in the background to add atmosphere and also so that the suspense is maintained.
