Origin-The shoot

THE  SHOOT


From where the taxi dropped us of,we had scheduled the walk to be around 20 mins, luckily we made it there in about 10 which gave us more time to film. On our way to our first location, as we came towards the forest we noticed the strong similarity between this and "The Witch", a film we analysed.



The dirty worn look of the cottage was exactly what we were hoping for, it still had to be recognisable as a home to ensure viewers would understand the plot. Again the forest had striking similarities to what was seen in the witch, I could also sense some similarities to "Hanna" with the absence of snow. We were lucky that the weather over the past few days had been quite dry so the ground in the forest was as dry as possible.
 Getting some shots involved moving through brambles and bushes, for example here I needed to get far enough away to get the final shot of the cottage. The regional plan for this shot was to do a reverse shot however once we were on location we decided that an upwards pan was more suitable.


Meabh adjusting to her new look, As soon as the costume was on we made sure to start filming as soon as possible so that our actress did not have to wear the costume for longer than necessary. This involved setting up the tripod and camera and blocking out scenes before hand.


We ensured that Erin done Meabhs Makeup before she got into costume to again keep her as comfortable as possible so that she could deliver the best performance possible.

Keeping the camera dry when there was a light shower and getting some scenery shots.

Origin Music And Sound

Origin Music And Sound We plan on having an original soundtrack due to the need for it to be so specific to the film. The reason we need it to be so specific is that our soundtrack effectively is the replacement for dialogue. The music will be what conveys the atmosphere and emotion however we do not want it to over power the shots either. We have decided that a simple piano melody would be the most fitting for this as it easily conveys emotion however it will not take away from the shots. Tracks To Take inspiration From T ogether we will live forever- Clint Mansell Preludes: La colombe (The Dove)- Oliver Messiaen, Hakin Austbo In the opening shots we plan on having music to create a mysterious tone however as the intensity and drama of the shots increase we will add more dissonance and it will become increasingly atonal. To record the soundtrack we will use garage band. Due to time limitations and possible future complications that could be faced in recording we have de...

Titles Analysis

Titles Analysis  Interestingly the majority of the films I chose to previously analyse did not have opening titles. One of the films that did however was Hanna. From watching the opening to the film I have noticed the following elements.  Each title fades in and fades out of the shot that it is featured in. The selected font is white which is interesting as the background is of a similar colour.  The titles are placed in the centre of the screen. Being placed against the barren landscape this also helps them to stand out. The way in which the titles appear in shots with no music also helps them to increase the focus on them. Stranger Things In stranger things the credits take a place against a black background. Surrounding it is the edges of the full title "stranger things". Stranger Things creates mystery in the titles in a different way to Hanna. The colour scheme is much darker and sinister looking however the choice of font remains white....
