Main Character Costume.

Clark Epsom's costume for the entire of the scene will include:
Red Bandana.
Bon Jovi T-Shirt.
Aviator Sunglasses.
Sleeveless Denim Jacket w/ Studs on Collar.
Stonewash Jeans.

These are all in homage and inspired by the type of dresscode someone of the era Clark wishes he was in,would wear,such as:

But alot less Glamourous as he is simply a wannabe student.

This is how the actor playing character looks in the costume:

Filming Updates.

Along with the changing in filming the first shot of the sequences,we also have to change the amount of people are in each 'cliche' group of friends. This is due to not being able to get suffient people to commit to film at the right times,so we will be using smaller numbers than 4 for each,we also think this could be more affective in the end as it will make it look realistic.

For the shots that were in the main character's (Clark) vision,we needed to get the same realistic view. So as he was wearing tinted aviator sunglasses in the scene,for the filming we simply took out one of the lenses and cellotaped it to the front of the camera,giving it a DIY yet realistic look.
The Camera looked like this:

We also had problems filming in the area that we filmed in due to too many people passing causing interuption,so we may change location for the shot's required in a college corridor near a notice board.

Music to first part of opening sequence.

For the start of the opening sequence of our film,we intend to use orginal music composed on garageband and final cut to help build up to the point of the main character,Clark,having his phone ring.
We have started creating music on garageband that we will fit the mood of the scene. We have started with simple acoustic guitars and percussion building up into a full structure of a song with a low tempo.
It is similar to 0:00-1:22 of the track 'Eraser' by 'No Age',due to the build up of seperate percussion and over dubbed guitar layers, but alot shorter to fit in with the section of the scene it relates to.

First attempt - Opening shot

After filming the continuous shot of which introduces our opening scene, we realised that although we attempted to go for a point of view shot, using a hand-held camera technique, the camera is too shakey in order to show our titles as successfully as we first hoped. We attempted modifying the duration and speeds of parts of the shot, although this seems to make the shot feel unprofessional, and more 'accidental' hand-held camera. We intend to re-film this shot next time we are able to get hold of a camera using a tripod, moreover pausing on each individual title for longer duration of time.

The first attempt at this shot is shown below, however this is not the final product as we do intend to re-capture this.

Final Location

After looking round college for a suitable location we came across our spots.

This area would be a good spot to put up our notice board due to it's large spacious wall and well lit corridor.

This area continues into a social looking environment which helps it give a realistic college/high school feel, it also allows to have each social group around the main spot of the protagonist.

Prop List.

In our post-filming situation, we have invented a prop list to organise ourselves when it comes to doing the actual filming.

- 18 actors/actresses (inc. background cast)

- bon jovi t-shirt for protagonist

- red bandana for protagonist

- cork/notice board

- mobile phone

- numerous posters to go upon the notice board

- suitable clothing for each social clique

Once we have managed to get hold of the props needed in order to carry out the filming process successfully, we will be able to begin the process.

Character Casting.

For our opening sequence we need to cast 18 speaking people for roles in our film.

We will also need people to be used as 'mise en scene' walking past our main character,but for this we will use the 4 different groups of people.

We need to cast 4 people as the jock/popular types,4 as ghetto/street kids,4 as emo/goth types and 4 as nerdy kids.

The two main castings needed will be for Clark and Candice.

For Clark we will need a boy our age (17) who is kind of short,and willing to wear very 80s based 'metal' clothing.

For Candice we will need a girl of the same age again,or a little older or younger,who preferably is blonde and willing to act and dress in a very plastic/preppy way.

We have cast Clark,and are using many of our friends and people in our media group as the 16 extras.

We are yet to find a suitable actress to play Candice..

Storyboard.

Script.

(Clark Epson sticks self-made leaflet to a public notice board in his college,he then looks at it with self content knowing he has finally got it on the board. He then briefly looks at the other advertisements on the notice board. diagetic 'college' noise will be constant throughout. He finishes and turns around. His phone rings and he lets it ring an annoyingly large amount of time. Fellow students will start to take recognition and stare and shout abuse at him for this.)

(Possible dialogue for groups of kids in shot)

1st group- answer your phone , Fag

2nd group-(strong 'street accent' Oi MAAAAATTTTTEE--pick up yo phoonneee

Main Character Name

Our main character will be called:

Clark Epson.

this is inspired by the surroundings of our work space,taking clark from 'clark gable' on a gone with the wind promotional photo and epson,from the 'epson' printer range model R200.

We used this technique so we didn't have to argue between us on potential names.
