Planning: Behind the Scene

 Intro 

From all the research we have done, we know that technical work acts as an invisible engine of a movie. While the actors and the script provide the soul, the technical craft (lighting, sound, editing, ) provides the sensory reality that makes an audience believe in the story.

Planning 

Since we are making a psychological thriller we have been shouting out and writing down components that we want our film to have in. Some examples are what camera movements we want , what type of shots, the sound , every thing that will help us achieve our goal with the movie. 

One example of a camera movement we already have planned is using the shaky camera effect, this is going to happen when Lilly (our main character) is running out of the house because she got scared by the shadowy figure. What we have planned is that the camera man is going to be holding the camera and track Lilly out of the house, but making the camera shaky so that all the panic can be captured and transmitted to the audience.

Transitioning to the sound of the film , we want to have  realistic sound effects having them be hyper realistic for adding that tension to the film. Some example of sounds that we want in our film are quiet moments , fade in heart beat , running and everything that makes the audience feel like they are there with Lilly while she goes through hell in her mind. So for one scene we have planned that when Lilly is running out of the house a fade in of a heart beat starts to be louder signifying how she is scared.

Finally, a little of what we have planned for lighting is obviously low-key lighting that will allow us to control the emotion of a scene , and it can help us with the plot by hiding the shadowy figure better. Another type of lighting that we have planned to use is clinical lighting to convey some type of discomfort to when it comes to Lilly being with the therapist or alone in a place.

Overview

As we discuss more about where and when to record scenes and how we are going to edit some scenes , we will be twitching around our liking and what we believe is the best for our film and the overall message of it. Having a previous idea of what we are doing really help us not waste time on not knowing what to do on the day of filming. The purpose of this is to be ready to get to the setting and just shoot and film.
