Re-making our OTS

As we have to re-film everything we as a group decided it was best to re-write our entire story as the previous "Pin-Up Girls" didnt feel like a noir film, Lewis had created a new storyboard for the new film as seen below:

Summitry post for 'Broken Identity'

Our Idea.

After we lost our First OTS we had a group meeting to decided what we will do for our new OTS, after talking about different ideas.

But we finally decided on an idea and that was: 

A man walking to a house that at first we are unknowing who's house it is, we see the man approaching the house twice the first is the present day and he is thinking about the first time he ever came to the house and we see a flash back, again him walking to the house but this time with a newspaper with the address on it, he enters the house heads to the back of the house and meets the woman,  the man and woman exchange convocation, the man offers her a smoke, and notices she is cold and gives he coat to her, but not before taking he gun out of his pocket in to the back of his trousers. after a few words have been exchanged (which we can't hear as there's is music and a voice over) they head in to the house and they hold each others hands, we then go back to the present to see the man entering the house just like he did all them months ago. 

We then cut to the woman doing her make-up we see her from the view of the mirror then from over her shoulder seeing the mirror then we jump to the mirror shot again but the woman is laying on the floor dead with her being struck by something but we don't know by what or by who (you will have to watch the rest of the film to find out). 

Target Audience

The target for our OTS is both women and men who are in to film noir's, love story's and crime story's (who done it's). We hope that the storyline to our new OTS will engage the viewers as we have all things people want in a film noir;

 Love, hate, romance, a murder and mystery.

  

First saved version

This is our first version of our new OTS, we are going to change certain parts of it after watching the feedback off of our class mates and taking on board their opinions.

Broken Identity from Lucy Easton on Vimeo.

Title;

Daniel had the idea of our new name which is 'Broken Identity' and after discussing this with the group we decided that it was a good idea. Broken Identity sounds like it fits the Film Noir genre as it has a mysterious effect to it, it fits our story line because Scarlet has a type of Broken Identity due to her two completely different personality's when she is with the detective and when she is with the murderer, its like she has two different identity's.

We are still using our way of distribution as streaming and in a picture house cinema which is in a post further down.

Locations for OTS

Costume for Femme-fatal

Our Cast;

Our new cast only includes Lucy Easton, as the Femme-Fatal Scarlet and Ethan Rundle as a Journalist Johnathan because we chose to cut out the murderer to create more tension of guessing what he looks like. Also in opening title sequences all characters are not usually seen, the murderer is mentioned in the voice over of Johnathan (voiced by Daniel Osborne) to include him in the opening slightly and to show the link between him and Scarlet.

Broken identity-Scripting

The scripting for Broken identity was fairly simple with the speech that i felt a man of Jonathan position would speak the language of a well educated man so i added some 'well educated' words into his   monologue to fit the character.

THE SCRIPT;

I can remember the first day i met her, with the address on the newspaper 15th of February. That day we spent together was sublime it will never leave my thoughts. she was the love, the hate of my life i feared the days after that perfect day that she would leave me for that other man, him the man who ruined it. why did he do this it must of been him, it must of. that day was the best day she was beautiful, kind, sweet and best of all she was mine. Even the way she took the smoke, the way she said my name.. my name. 
she was beautiful..

UPDATES;

After changing the whole idea of our original OTS with it being deleted, we re-filmed the new story line that we came up with. Today we uploaded and edited the clips which we where happy with and our OTS is nearly complete minus minor glitches. We are planning to show it to our class mates on Friday and collect their good and bad opinions, changing aspects of the OTS if we agree with their opinions to make it the best we can. It has been a difficult and stressful situation having to re-film the whole of our OTS but working together we have completed it and ended up with what we think is an better outcome than what we had in the first time as there is more of a romance story line and a large range of camera shots, also there are more editing techniques because we have became more confident on Imovie this year remembering techniques we used in GCSE. All together as a group we are happy with our new OTS.

First day filming for the new OTS

First day filming for our new OST as we where unable to recover our original footage.

What we got up to.

Today Me, Lucy and Lewis came up with an idea that we would use for our new OTS as we thought that with our new skills we have learnt thought out our media year that we would use a various  use of camera techniques when filming. 

The scene we shot today was a small part with scarlet (Lucy) doing her make-up in the mirror, when she is suddenly killed by a source that we don't know and we also do not know who the killer is. 

We created the mise-en-scene to look like the hall way or a dress room for a female with the make-up hit on the floor when scarlet has been knocked down by the murder. We had Lucy wearing a skin tight black dress with knee high socks, red lipstick and heavy eye makeup with very little jewelry except a nose ring to make it a little more modern. 

Problems within our OTS

Our ots has accidentally been deleted due to students accounts being deleted for more memory for the macs at school, our ots project was on one of the accounts that has been deleted. The technician is trying to recover our ots clips which will need to be re-edited completely if they can be recovered. This has hugely affected our project as we were extremely close to finishing and could have easily handed it in for the deadline Friday but it now is likely to have be done all over again.

Genre, Audience and Institution

Our OTS is a modern intake on neo Noir and it is a crime film.

It is mainly aimed at men between 25 - 40 and would either be streamed online which is usually from a website with a range of films available for free which can be watched instantly on a laptop, ipad ect.

Steaming online;

Picture house cinema;

Or shown in a picture house cinema which is a network of art house cinemas in the U.K, they are usually small cinema's with smaller screens, more comfortable and better quality seating with a classical look to it. Picture house cinemas also show more varied, arty and alternative films which the larger cinemas would not choose to show. Our ots would be shown here as it does not have the quality's to be shown in a known cinema such as vue or odeon on a big screen because our ots does not include close ups and does not show expressions and feelings on the actors face which is very common in a cinema screening and also the lighting is extremely dark and dull which is not common in a recently made film aimed for the cinema franchise.
