Yesterday we pitched our idea for our film. We already had the script, so knew the basic ideas, but we had to put forward our take on it; how will make it interesting and unique, and the style and genre we were going to incorporate into it.
Our script is about a guy that knocks on a random door and claims to hav been invited to a party there, invites himself and makes himself at home, all whilst the flat owner, is trying to figure out who he is and why he is actually there. We have decided to take quite a dark and tense approach to out interpretation. We want to make the intruder quite sinister and really play on the mysterious way of who he is and why's he's there. In contrast the other character will become incrasingly unsettled and and will feel totally out of control of the situation as the intruder imposes himself more and more. In the original script the intruder makes a sandwhich, we have decided to adapt this slightly, in ours the intruder will be interupting on the other characters preparations for a romantic meal with his girlfriend. This allows to play around with a really effective atmosphere, as the room will be candelit, which will produce effective shadows and allow the intruder to have a more imposing persona. Also the original script starts with the intruder knocking on the door, however we want to add a bit at the strart of ours which shows both contrasting character's getting ready, with quick cut shots between each of them and the opening credits, the shots will never reveal the intruders face until the other character sees him, so your're in the same situation as the intruded character. This will build into the story more effectively and leave the viewer wanting to know where it is going.
Today we organised a schedule for props, location, and filming, so we are now quite organised, we also made sure we all know waht we are doing and where we are heading. We also set up a blog so we can share our ideas and progress on there!
