Film Opening - Planning (Redo) and Log
Because of multiple problems from poor time management to over-ambitious goals, the narrative and planning of this short film opening has been changed drastically. The film being created is now called "The Man in Yellow"; this narrative is about a paranoid man who believes he is being followed by a man in a yellow coat around his local town.The Paranoid Man is running and hiding from this ominous force, however I aimed to make this 'man in yellow' as a force that the audience are not sure that really exists; perhaps the 'man in yellow' is a paranoid delusion, a coincidence, or a real threat. As the film reaches to the end, the paranoid man is in the comfort of his home, only to realise that an unwanted guest is knocking on the door (presumably the Man in Yellow depending on the audience's imagination); the paranoid man panics and prepares himself by taking up a knife as the opening fades to black.
The opening was filmed in the 7th of December, 2013 in Portishead, Bristol, UK ; locations used for filming include the streets of Portishead, the woods around the area, a costume shop named "Mad Harrys", and a home from one of the volunteer actors. The one responsible for using the camera will be myself and the editing will be done by my partner and I. The person playing as The Paranoid Man is my partner and the volunteer playing as The Man in Yellow is a friend of my partner. The only notable props/costumes in this short-film would be the volunteer actor's yellow coat which uses a bright cheerful colour and associate it with a seemingly threatening force and the kitchen knife at the final scene of the film which represents the dark and villainous traits within the protagonist.
The footage filmed on the 7th of December 2013 requires improvements, therefore we are going to be filming again in the January to February Term on the 11th of January 2014 due to school rules not permitting the use of their equipment during half-term. Luckily, before half-term arrived my partner and I have managed to do most of the editing in the footage we can use for this project.
