Filming

These are pictures of when we were filming the scenes in the woods and in the toilet.

In the toilet scene the main girl is putting on make up with her friend and when she turns round to face the friend the friend is scared and runs away it is not until the girl turns back to the mirror that the audience see she has been putting clown makeup on.

This wood scene is when the girl is tied to a chair with ribbons and more and more keep getting added and then the clown appears from behind her.

Animatic

This is the Animatic, a rough story board version of how we want the video to look and the shots we are hoping to use.

Animatic - Editing

This is a screen grab from when we were editing the Animatic we are using Final Cut to create this. After we had drawn each shot by hand we had to take a photograph of each individual image so that we could upload them in to Final Cut.

Storyboard

We each helped in the drawing of the story board and we will now take pictures of each individual scene so that we can create and animatic.

Characters

The 2 main characters will be a girl and a clown. For our video we have decided that Georgina would be best to play the role of the main girl as she feels at ease in front of the camera. We have also decided that the clown should be male so that the audience does not suspect the ending of the video and so we have asked Georgina's boyfriend Jack to play this role as he is easily avaliable for filming during media lessons.

There will also be 3 other clowns that appear in the video these will be played by myself, Rakhee and our friend Freddie.

I will also play the main girls friend in the bathroom scene.
