The Girl in White Evaluation

This is the completed version of the opening titles for 'The Girl In White'.




This is the Preliminary Task

Question 1- 7

Question 1 Question 2 Question 3 Question 4 and 5 Question 6 Question 7

Construction: Green Screen and Sound Effects

In our opening we have found and inserted a green screen clip from YouTube and are using it in our opening which is shown in the screenshots below. we chose to add the recording clip to make are opening seem as it is self recorded. When we searched for the clip we had to make sure that it was green so when we edited the clip it would go within the layers. this left us with the filming frame we


This is a screen shot of the recording of the green screen which has been embedded onto the computer ready to be imported on premiere pro.

In this screenshot we have placed the green screen on top of the self recording footage.

 This is what the footage looks like when the green screen has been placed over the video.

This is an edit with the sound and the green screen added. The next step is to add the titles. 

Construction: Evidence of Raw footage

This is the raw footage for our first edit. These are screenshots to show the different stages within our editing process. This was before adding any effects or sound. These screenshots show the clips are a rough cut towards the final product.

The overall footage turned out to be of a decent quality and clear. We used a canon 1200D DSLR with a 15-35mm lens as well as a Manfrotto compact advanced tripod to steady the shots. When it came to filming, to create the effect that our characters were holding the camera themselves, we made sure their hands were near the camera, as though they were holding the camera. Once of us would be holding onto the camera ensuring their face(s) were in the shot. 

  

Construction: Evidence of Filming Taking Place

Behind the scenes 

These are the behind the scene photos which were taking during the filming process. These include us, the crew, setting up the sets; directing the actors/actresses, directing them on their mise-en-scene (make-up) and locations of where they will act.

1) These are pictures to show the filming process and how the camera was set up on the tripod to get a steady camera shot.

2) These pictures show Mea doing Alice makeup for the character she is playing. This is what 'the girl in white' make up looked like after Mea had finished. 

3) These photographs were taken by Hannah showing mea setting up the finishing touches to certain scenes.

                                         

4) Here is a short video of the bloopers we gathered for the uncut footage from the film. 

Planning: Testing Out Filming Before Main Task

This was a test to get acquainted with the camera before we filmed our main task. When it comes

to filming we be sure that the right setting are applied to the camera to get a good quality of raw footage which will be good not only for when looking back on, but also when in the editing process.

Planning - Considering Mise-en-Scene For Your Opening

Costumes

John

Clothes:

John would wear a tight fitting white T-shirt to outline his muscles 

and dark blue jeans with fashionable trainers. He would carry a jacket or jumper and wear it occasionally. 

Reason:

The reason for this choice in clothes is we think that it outlines his personality and shows that he is obsess with his appearance. 

Images: 

White T-shirt



Dark blue jeans



Nike trainers



Grey jumper

• Allison

Clothes:

For Allison she would wear a bright coloured crop top with either high waisted jeans/leggings 

with fashionable trainers or flats. She hardly wears a jacket but if she does she would wear a bland cardigan and she would wear a simple pretty choker or little necklace.

Reason:

We chosen these items as it makes her look cute and flirty. It also turns her into a typical 

looking tacky teenager girl. 

Images:

Bright coloured crop top

Black high waisted jeans



Trainers

 




Choker



• Billy

Clothes:

Billy's clothes would be a big dull coloured jacket with baggy/lose dark blue jeans and some simple trainers.

Reason:
The reason for this is that Billy's clothes need to be baggy and boring to make a chilled out look to represent his personality.

Images:

Big dull jacket

Baggy dark jeans

Basic trainers

  

 

• Jodie

Clothes:

Jodie's clothes would be a checked shirt, glasses, band T-shirt, black leggings, conserves or docs and long hippie necklaces and bracelets.

Reason:
We have chosen these clothes because it highlights that she is geeky, urban and chilled.

Checked shirt

Glasses



Band T-shirts

Black docs

Long hippie necklaces and bracelets

  

• Tim

Clothes:

Tim would wear something smart but casual like beige trousers, camping boots, black opened top and a beanie.

Reason:
The reason for these chose of clothes was to express Tim's personality of being a smart and kind lad.

Images:

Beige trousers



Camping boots

  

Black opened top

Beanie

• 'The Girl in White'

Clothes:

The girl will be wearing a white vintage looking nightgown.

Reason:

The reason for this is to highlight that she has ran away 

and that she is a scary little girl.

Images:

 

White nightgown

        

 

 

 

 

Props

We need:

• A pair of glasses

Reason:
The reason we need glasses is for the character Jodie to make her vintage image stand out more.   

Image:
 

• Torturing tools

Reason:
We need these props as without them there wouldn't be any clear reason to what  'The girl in white' is going to do to the group of teenagers.

Image:

• Wood

Reason:
Wood is going to be used to make fire for one of the night time scenes.

Image:

• Three tents

reason:
One tent is for john and Allison another tent is for Billy and Jodie and the third is for Tim. The tents makes the audience believe that there are camping and staying in the woods in the middle of nowhere. 


Image:

• TV

Reason:
The TV is going to be used at the end of the film to show the news clip 20 years later. 

Image:

• Ropes

Reason:
The ropes will be used to tie up all the group to the trees to highlight that they have been kidnapped and about to be murdered and eaten by 'The girl in white'

Image:

Equipment

• Laptop

Reason:
We need the laptop to connect to the TV to show the news clip that we would have made. Without this we wouldn't be able to show the news story. 

Image:

• Car/Van

Reason:
When we go to film we would need a car or van to take us there and back from locations, if not then we wouldn't be able to get to our destination in one trip. 

Image:

• Two cameras

Reason:
We might just need one camera but we will bring two just in case one of the cameras runs out of battery or we need to film one thing at to different angles at once. 

Image:

• Lighter

Reason:
The lighter will be used to make the fire and without it we would struggle making the fire for the night time scene. 

Image:

• Drone

Reason:
A drone can be used to film an establishing shot from a very high point in the sky. If we can use one then this would make the establishing shot look more professional and interesting. 

Image:

• Gopro

Reason:
Just like the drone we can use the Gopro to film a certain height to make the shot look more intriguing but to also show the audience that the group is camping in the middle of nowhere and this highlights the danger.
