Screenplay & Script

The screenplay and script is done by Gusde and me

FADE IN:

EXT. ROAD -  Day

We open with a Drone shot following CANDRA, a devoted man who comes back to his old gang to take revenge on the boss who's wronged him. riding a bright pink princess bike dressed like a woman with a blonde wig down a street until he arrives at a house. 


CUT TO:


EXT. ROAD - OUTSIDE ROAD- DAY

He puts one foot on the ground, creating a thump, and dismounts the bike, showing off a pink sparkly glitter shoe. He then seductively walks his way towards the building CANDRA as the camera moves down, creating a low-angle shot of the building.


CUT TO:


EXT. HOUSE - GATE - DAY

A large, secure, decorated gate protects a big, fancy house fit for a king. Two guards patrol the outside of the gate. The guards then begin catcalling CANDRA, Whistling him and calling him over. CANDRA then walks closer seductively and elegantly.

GUARD 1

Hey gorgeous, how you doin’? 


GUARD 2

Are you lost, little missy?


Candra with a smirk on his face walks close to the guards and kicks one of them in the groin then the other tries to pull out a weapon but CANDRA smacks them over the head with a heavy purse incapacitating them. 


Then we see candra open a door and emerge with the guards outfit.

CROSSFADE:

2

EXT. Compound - Outside garage - day

CANDRA then walks into a garage and sees people working on cars. That could be his escape. He opens a door to enter the main compound then he sees a group of guards drinking relaxing snacks in the Bale/Communal area.

EXT. MAIN DOOR INTO MAIN BUILDING. WHAT CAMERA SHOT DO I USE?

CANDRA then walks towards the main building and meets a towering guard with sunglasses.

CANDRA

The BOSS then stands up from his desk, takes off his suit and approaches CANDRA to confront him. An intense stare down occurs and the camera cuts from face to face then they both dash towards each other with ready fists and BLAM both fists connect knocking them back.



Boss

(laughs)


CANDRA

(smiling)


Candra runs toward the boss and swings his feet straight towards the Boss's face . Then the Boss block his kick with one arm and threw him to the side 


Boss

You never change CANDRA 

(laughing)

(pulls out a gun)


CANDRA

(angry)

FADE OUT

(Gun shot)



The screenplay may possibly change if new ideas are formed during filming, but I think this should be enough for us to get a good start and an overall view of how the final project will look like.

The Storyboard

This is our storyboard blog where we created comic strips of how our final project video will unfold. The storyboard is hand drawn mainly by me and one of them from another member of the team.













The storyboard helped us to plan ahead of time and proved to be really useful as it allowed us to not spend a lot of time figuring out on one scene. It also helps us, filmmakers, to visualize our final story, define technical parameters, and plan the sequence of events. This is my second time doing a storyboard and I think I need some improvements in some parts of the areas such as the clarity of the explanation of some shots.

Location Scout & Risk Assessments

This blog displays the location where the filming will happen and the threats that can potentially harm our crew. Candra made the risk assessment table and context with some help from us.

The risk assessment and location scouting are crucial, as they provide us with valuable insights into the challenges we may encounter before arriving on the filming site. Without this action, we risk wasting significant time addressing unforeseen issues that could have been anticipated. We would always try to avoid risks that would injure our group members.

Classwork

This blog shows the technical elements we have learned throughout media studies:

Camera Works:

Types of Camera Angles:
1) Low Angle
2) High Angle
3) Close up
4) Extreme Close Up
5) Medium Shot
6) Long Shot
7) Extreme Long Shot
8) POV (Point of View)
9) Cowboy Shot
10) Over-the-shoulder
11) Establishing Shot
12) Dutch Angle


Here is what we did in class when each group was given specific camera angles and had to draw it out on an A5 paper.


Types of Camera Movements:
  

Fixed

Camera remains static

Calm, peace, normal

Push in

The camera moves slowly toward the subject

Brings the audience closer, more involved, and more serious. 

Pull out

The camera moves slowly away from the subject

Takes the audience away from the action, leaving a character. Detaching from subject

Pan 

Side to side, the camera is fixed

Reveal information, mirrors the natural head movement of the audience. 

Tilt

Up and down, the camera fixed

Same as the pan, just in a different direction

Dolly 

The camera moves around freely

More immersive, we are moving inside the subject world, we feel part of the action

Tracking

The camera moves around on tracks

Similar to dolly, but smoother. 

Crane

 

Reveals the epic size of the setting, and landscape. 

Handheld

Camera is shakey

Very natural, and immersive. High energy

Zoom

Zoom 

Brings the audience closer to budget. Draws our attention to something. 



Types of Sound:

Sound design is a crucial element in the filming industry as it has the power to create realism for the audience due to it being able to convey a mood on the audience mood and emotion that can truly enhance the viewing experience. From what I have learned there are three main types of sound:

 

 

Description

Effect

Diegetic sound

Sound that can be heard by the characters within the media text. 

Add a sense of realism. Reveal information to characters (and then the audience)

Non-diegetic sound

Sound that can only be heard by the audience.

Enhance meaning, create an emotional response in the audience

Trans diegetic sound 

Sound that transitions from one to the other. 

Creates a link between the audience and the world. More immersive



Non-diegetic sound is again divided into three types which are the following:

1) Melodic: They often give positive and pleasing connotations as they enhance a positive scene to create positive emotion in the audience.
2) Discordant: Uses harsh and unpleasant connotations to enhance negative scenes. Which creates suspense, tension, and anxiety.
3) Contrapuntal: It has an opposite tone to the on-screen values. It adds deeper meaning to scenes. Insight into the character's thoughts. Maybe they seek pleasure in doing bad things.

Miss-en-scene:

Miss-en-scene refers to the arrangement and design of visual elements within a frame or a scene. The main key elements are:

1) Props
2) Set Design
3) Costume
4) Hair
5) Make Up
6) Colour
7) Performance
8) Lighting 
9) Blocking
10) Focus
11) Weather
12) Environment

Editing:
Film editing is the process of assembling and cutting film footage to create a finished movie. It's a vital part of the film production process, as it's responsible for giving meaning to the film and helping the audience perceive the story as the director intends. In editing, there are 2 types of takes which are:

1) Long take: Used to build suspense, and extend the feelings (feels slow)
2) Short take/ Quick Cut: Used to increase pase, high energy/excitement

There are two types of editing:

1) Continuity Editing: Straight cut, eyeliner match, Shot/ reverse shot, Cutaway/ insert
2) Non-continuity Editing: Crosscut, flashback, flash forward, jump cut
