Second CUT of Ignotus

THIS IS OUR SECOND CUT OF IGNOTUS

We have redone the audio, changed a few clips around, added second names to the credits and added different music. However, we will re-do the audio and make some of the clips have an echo effect and re-do the music but as for now the order of the clips will remain the same.

Changes we made from initial Idea

Initially we had a further two actresses as Doctors and Nathan was also an actor however due to it being too long and over complicating we decided to cut that out

First draft of our film

Our first cut

this is the first draft of the movie.

as this is a draft we had too amend it many times.

we found out that the acting was too wooden and the Opening scene seemed too much like a trailer

Storyboard

This is the initial storyboard we have come up with to accomodate our Ignotus idea

The beginning of the opening will start with the main character opening up his eyes to find himself in an interrogation situation.

The main character will have a blood stained shirt to show he has been beaten for answers about the mysterious artefact the interrogator is after.

Credits will keep splitting up the footage.

The interrogate will begin to get angry and start making physical gestures at the main character to let him know that if he doesn't give them any asnwers soon then they will continue to toucher him.

The main character will be forced to look at photos of the mysterious artefact to try and trigger his memory and provide the interrogator with the answers he needs.

[Credits]

There will be a flash back of the main character almost remembering what happened when he found the artefact to tease the audience and make them want to keep watching the film (if it was a proper length film).

[Credits]

The interrogator will continue to physically abuse the main character in order to get answers out of him.

The title sequence will be played last.

Final Idea

this is our second idea that we decided to go with. we decided to go with an adventure thriller instead.we decided on this final idea because we thought it ll be more interesting and we can use our skills and let us be more creative and this genre can hook in the audience.

Film Locations

For our film opening we need three different locations:
1) An interrogation room
2) A street
3) A dark room for the artifact
The street was the first and easiest location to acquire, as we planned to use my road as it is quiet and we went to film early on Saturday morning. The reason for it being in the morning was due to the difficulty of having to use the pavement as a set and so we needed to film early in order to make sure there was little people around. Other members of our group said they would be busy on that day so the earlier the better. Me and Sachin done the filming that day. the morning was a bonus because the weather was sunny. the glaring sun allowed for the scene where he wakes up and looks directly at the sun.

The second location we want to is the assembly hall in school to film the scene where the “artefact” was found. We want to use this because we can make it really dark and pretend it is a cave/underground area of some sort to add to the enigma and because the hall is large it has an effect even though you may not see it in the dark the audience can feel it. We figured that if we were able to acquire some flashlights and have access to the assembly hall we could turn off the lights and film the scene in there. The only problem we see with using this location is that we have to make sure it is not being used by other people due to the fact that we need the entire space. We hoped to film during our Media lesson so fortunately the hall would most likely to be unoccupied.

The final location which would be used as an interrogation room was difficult to think of where to use, at first we had the idea of using one of the school rooms that had a glass window in order to look inside, however this was a problem due to the school hours that we had and our ability to make the footage seem realistic. If this doesn't go to plan then we will use my living room. we had a problem with the lighting coming across and making it unrealistic.

Marketing and who its for

for our film we needed to find out which audience will be interested in the film and to see if it will be a niche market or wider audience market.  We had to ask them what they wanted and what they were looking for in a film. so we done a questionnaire and asked people using facebook and asking people to complete it:

1)Would you prefer the credits to follow the shape and colour scheme of the movie?

 

2) do you prefer credits to simply pop up?

3)Do you like when the opening shot is an Aerial shot of the city/town/setting?  

4 Do you like long opening scenes or when events progress quickly?

 

5) Would you prefer diegetic or non-diegetic sounds for the opening scene?

 

6 Would you like the theme tune to play during the opening credits?
