Vox Pop Improved



This Vox Pop is the improved and finished version.

I have done this second vox pop simply because I feel that my first one was not to a very high standard, and also, as I did not convert the files from '.wmv' to '.mov' correctly, there was a watermark on them, and also the quality was not very good, so I converted them properly, and have created a totally new vox pop.

Joint & Final Synopsis

As I have been working on my own so far during the course, I have realised the amount of work that will be needed to execute by one person, and I think that this will be to much to cope on my own, so I have decided to join together with someone who is in the same boat, and create a teaser/trailer toghether.

The person I will be working with is 'Joseph Knight' (Blog: http://josephmediabloga2.blogspot.com/), and as we did not want to start from scratch, we decided to combine our planning together, and produce a storyline that can incorperate both of our hard work.

Joint Synopsis:

In 1955, Victoria Caroline murdered several men as a way to rebel from social constraints, and was seen as a shadow in the dark as she was seemingly unstoppable. Insanity started to take hold of her before she mysteriously stopped killing and there was no trace left of her.
Back to the present day, Omar, a normal 18 year old who goes to college and meets with friends as all 18 year olds do. He is, 'cool', 'popular' and 'up-to-date' with modern day society. Although he lives a normal life by day, by night he suffers from a condition called sleep paralysis. One night, during one of his paralysis episodes, he sees an old woman (unknowing to him is Victoria Caroline) in his hallucinations, and then sees her in his hallucinations nearly every night. He thinks she just remained in his dreams, until he sees her in reality… Is she just a dream… Is she in reality… Or is she in both?

My Role - 1

As I am creating this teaser/trailer on my own, I have responsibility for the majority of the roles. I am in charge of the planning, the research, taking care of the equipment, being a director, being a camera man and a number of other tasks.

Throughout this week I have been finialising the planning and research for my teaser/trailer. I have done this so that I can have everything sorted out as soon as possible, so that I can go ahead and start filming, so that I will have plenty of time to edit my film to a high standard.

I will log every other week to show what I have been doing, and if I have come accross any problems during the process.

Planning and Research 3 - Key Questions

Planning and Research 2 - Teaser/Trailer plan

Planning and Research 1 - Synopsis

Genre & Setting:
I intend to make the genre of this teaser/trailer a horror that will be set in London 2011.
It will include all of the general conventions that you would expect to see in a horror film, but I make it stand out from the rest by not following the general "haunted house" or "alien invasion" storylines.


Storyline:
A modern day "cool" and "popular" boy aged 16-18, lives a normal life by day, but by night he suffers from a condition called sleep paralysis. The condition doesn't affect him at first, but after a while, it gets to his head and he eventually turns crazy and changes his personality and appearance very quickly.
