Coursework Complications

Due several complications we had to change our whole story so that there wouldn't be complications anymore like we had before. The main character is Henri Yueksel. Gabi Paterson will be Henri Yueksel's girlfriend that died in a car crash. But Henri can't take the pressure anymore of this big hole in his life. Depressive he goes to Gabi's grave situated at Michel Kirk's Chapel to say a last good bye... Something terrible will follow...

Filming Officially Started 23/11/09

We have finally started filming today. Lisa Mitchell and Henri Yueksel are the main characters in our film opening. They needed to get changed into suitable clothes. We shot the "Day 1" scene outside one of the boarding houses, to show the audience that how the couple were living a normal life, as something terrible happens later on in the story, and how it has an effect on their lives.

Our Production Logo

TODAY, I have been doing some research on how to make our production logo look professional which is "SHAMEDIA PRODUCTIONS" and what are the key elements to make it look really good, and after doing some research, I realized that the production logo doesn't have to be too graphical, however it must look attractive to the audience, knowing to use some of the professional softwares like Photoshop can help in many ways. So I went to photoshop and made a simple but professional logo.

Unlike the Hollywood style, our production logo is not animated but is an still image made with Photoshop CS2.

Story Line

The story will talk about a young girl who killed her boyfriend because he cheated on her. First impression is that it might become a boring movie without a real story but something else happens... After she killed her (ex)boyfriend she gets haunted by horrible nightmares and starts going mental. The whole story will talk about her trying to find out what caused this. Obviously it is the fact that she killed her boyfriend that brought her in this mental being, but maybe there is something else?

The Title of our movie will be "Aftermath" not only because of the meaning but because of another movie called like this with the same meaning used of Aftermath relied to the movie. Both of the movies, ours and "Aftermath: Genesis" have no comparison to each other except of the meaning of the word Aftermath and the violence. The movie relied to ours is called "Aftermath: Genesis". The story has nothing to do with ours and the factor of violence is much lower in ours but the thought about the violence showed in our movie is really sick as well.
"Aftermath: Genesis" is one of the most violent movies I've ever seen and wouldn't recommend it to anyone with weak nerves. But there is a bit of meaning in the movie that shows the darkness of death like in our movie. The meaning of the word Aftermath is that what we are trying to show in our movie/fim opening.

Today we started to create our production logo "shamedia" using photoshop, our storyline is now finished and we will begin to film tomorrow. Our group has watched two minutes of different opening scenes of horror films and we now know how our film opening will look like and at which locations it will take place.

What we'll need to think about is the props we will use like costume and we'll certainly need a knife which we need permission for. We will ask Mrs.Dangerfield for permission to borrow a knife from the refectory.
