JT - Sounds for Last One Standing

So far we have got rid of all the diegetic sound within the house but kept the woods parts. We are also thinking about non-diegetic sound such as a radio playing.

So to make our idea more clear we are considering having a radio playing instead of music. The radio will be a newsflash saying "1 year today that the girls went into the local woods and tragically only 1 survived, but it is still an ongoing mystery". This helps anchor the date of the film and makes it more understandable for the audience

JT - Feedback for Last One Standing rough cuts

In our first initial rough cut, we got feedback off two fellow media students Becky Wholley and Hannah Ferreria.

• They said that the initial idea is good but the idea wasn't clear enough for the woods part because it doesn't have any transactions or effects on (we solved this by putting the woods scenes in black and white and also having transactions , such as a t.v fuzz to signify it's a home movie)
• Also to make our idea more clear we are considering having a radio playing instead of music, the radio will say something along the lines of "1 year today that the girls went into the local woods and tragically only 1 survived, but it is still an ongoing mystery".
• They said that the sounds need editing (we over came this by getting rid of all the diegetic sound within the house but keeping the woods parts. We are also thinking about non-diegetic sound such as a radio playing).
• More distinction of characters so the audience know's who the girl is in the woods
• But overall it is good, and the shots creating the effect that someone is approaching the house is good

When me and Gina got further feedback on Last One Standing and the main comment that was coming up was that our final girl Ellie, looks more like a scream queen because she poses infront of the mirror, is bossy in the woods and the shots reveal her good physique (revealing) so therefore seems more like a typical scream queen (although she has brown hair, which we could challenge the stereotypical role of scream queen).


Katie: Not clear that it is a flashback of the girl in the bath and what the flash back is actually supposed to show. The shots that were used through the front door when ellie was walking to the bathroom made it seem as though the bathroom was downstairs, however this was confusing as there is a shot after that shows the light upstairs being turned on. After watching a second rough cut once some editing had been done, I didn't think this anymore.

Ruby: no water in the bath, needs a lot more editing

JT - Titles for Last One Standing

Mine and Gina's initial ideas are

• Red (signify blood) titles appearing on the black parts of the screen, and appear on the bottom of the screen
• White titles on a black parts of the screen (binary opposites) to show good and evil between the characters

These are the possible fonts for our titles

Possible colour scheme

GM - Re film production schedule

After editing our 1st rough cut further, Jess and I have booked a camera and tripod to do some re-filming of certain shots tonight (Tuesday 25th January). We feel we have enough time left to be able to re-film some of the scenes that didn't turn out how we first invisaged. We only need our final girl in these scenes and she will be arriving on location at 3.30pm. This will give us plenty of time to film the shots with her and then go outside and redo some of the shots of the outside of the house in the dark. We will then upload the footage and edit them into what we have got already creating our second rough cut.
