Equipment List

I came together with the videographer Sophie, so that we could organise the equipment that we would want to use on the day and book it out on time. The equipment that we agreed on is as follows:
          
Sony HVR-V1U pro HDV 1080p

Tripod

Glidecam

8mm Hi8 120min Video Camera Cassette Tape




Prop Notes & Pictures

In this opening sequence we are not really going to use many props, but some of the props we are going to be using are:

Headphones

Phone


Long Gloves

Location Notes & Pictures

Below are pictures of the different locations that we are going to use on the shooting day and they are all in Gedia Park. The film Vanish will have it's opening sequence unfolded in these three locations. In the first two minutes of the film we see the actress (victim) and the anonymous killer in these locations.These locations are not closely monitored by any CCTVs or police, especially at the time of the night the film will be shot. In this movie it just starts as a dream but as many says dreams can be real and in this case they become real as time goes by. These locations we chose are going to make us able to express everything we want to the audience, from the suspense, tension and other surprises. I as the director decided to use these three locations  as the main center stages because through out  the movie, the antagonist will be playing his games around this area most.

As the story unfolds and as frightening events keep taking place these three locations become dangerous places to be. People around that area do not have any other options because that's their way home, especially those who don't drive, to the audience this will raise suspension and tension as people try to figure out what’s really going on and all of them try to keep out of the antagonist’s way. People eventually get scared because no one knows when they could be attacked. The disappearance of many other people in these places will be a cause of concern to the security officers and the government.




Shot list

Joshua the editor was the one doing the shot list and l also insured that it was done on time.

Storyboard Notes from Class

In class we were taught about storyboards and some of the things that we were taught are as follows:

Storyboard (first draft)

Sophie the videographer was the one responsible for the storyboard and l as the director had to make sure that it is well done on time.


What l had to Consider on my Script

According to my own research and what l was taught there are only two (2) types of scripts and there are :
  1. Script with Dialogue
  2. Script with no Dialogue 
 The story idea that we agreed to do had no dialogue, so l chose the second type of script which is the one with no dialogue.
