After two practice shoots and what we hope to be our final shoot, it feels like the sequence has finally made some progress. We took a lot more shots from different angles this time, hopefully adding some suspense to the sequence, which we feel it was lacking before.
We also spoke to our media technician Mr Deans today about what sorts of effects we can add to the sequence to increase suspense/'believe-ability' further.
We hope to use a 'rec' symbol going around the shots were our victim Georgia speaks about her rape experience. We are looking into the idea of using quiet, sad and unintrusive music playing in the background as she speaks. The clip of her speaking to the camera is also extremley long, we might fade in and out of her talking, or fade to title screens to break it up.
We intend to use a black background for the title screens, and have the titles
'Starring'
'Georgia Gerstein'
'Deniz Nisancioglu'
'Directed by George Henry'
'Edited by Despina Christodoulou'
'Scripting by Ella Wilkinson'
'Music by Natasha Luthra'
type up across the screen, in a 'typewriter' font. We also hope to be able to find the sound of typewriter or keyboard somewhere online that we can play as the titles type up, to add effect.
As for the actual sequence - we are playing with the idea of having it in black and white, maybe with blurred edges to make it clear that it is a flash-back.
We want edgy, suspense-filled music that builds up to a climax at the rape scene.#
