Location and decisions - Chris Bailey

This is a shot of one of the walk ways down the 

Worth Way. We are going to be using the worth way filming when we see the man walking his dog and getting a phone call from the withheld number. Worth Way is a nature walk from East Grinstead to three bridges. This shot is going to be very effective as it’s the first time we see the character and it’s where the audience start to feel a connection towards the character shown who is going to be known as Jay. Also this shot is very effective as it is in a natural environment. We will be filming this shot during the day/ early morning so it is not dark. The reason why we are not filming when it is dark is that darkness is a convention of horror films.As this is a public place we are filming I have emailed the trustee of the
Worth Way asking permission to film while we are there. To the right is the email we sent to him and we will upload an image of his response when we get an email back.

We are useing the bedroom as another shot when we are introduced to a different character into our film. We have decided to use the bedroom as it will be a shot that people can relate to as they are just waking up. Also it is another naturalistic setting which will make our film move beliveable as it will be one of our bedrooms and we are a bunch of students, so therefore it is a students bedroom. We are going to have the first shot of her feet getting out of bed, and the camera will be on the persons feet. This is effective as we wont be able to seee the characters face so it is hidden. The seccond shot will be of the girl who is on her dressing table drying her hair.

This shot of the field is going to be the first shot in our sequence. It will be an establishing and with the camera panning from left to right. You will partly see the phone in the middle of the field, however then there will be a close up the phone. The reason that we are going to be useing this setting is that there is nothing else around. This way we can get the audience's attention by wondering what the phone is doing in the middle of this field. Between shots we will be cutting back to a close up of the phone in the middle of the filed ringing differnent people. Also by using this setting it looks very remote and shows that no one else is around, or nothing is around apart from the phone in the middle of the field

The kitchen is another shot when we are introducing another character, In this shot we are going to see somone waking up and going downstairs and making breakfast/ lunch. This is also another setting where memebers of the audience can realate to the person, as most households have kitchens. We are going to see the phone ringing on table while the character is making food. The character is not going to be able to hear the phone as things in the background such as the kettle are going to be louder than the phone

All of the settings and locations we have got we have got permisions for, such as with the bedroom and kitchen we have got permision from our perents and they have all agreed to letting us film.

Script - Emma Chamberlain

We want to keep dialogue to a minimal within the sequence, this creates restricted narration. With this we can keep the confusion of the sequence for the audience and therefore the mood is thrilling.
Only one line of dialouge is neccerseary, this is used in the kitchen location and is as follows; 

Girl: It's ringing!

Characters - Laurel Drew

Claire - Victim, being attacked in a field and rings her best friends for help.
Ellen - Best friend, we see her getting ready in the morning.
Jay - Best friends, owns a dog called Bruce which we see him walking.
Simon - Father or brother to Freya, we see him making Freya and himself toast.
Freya - Daughter or sister of Simon, she tells him that his phone is ringing.
Bruce - Jay's dog who we see being taken for a walk.

Lighting- Emma Chamberlain

We want to try and create a naturalistic morning light for all of the scenes to keep the continuity as all shots are filmed at the same, or similar times. Here's a list of locations and the different lighting we will use to create this natural morning light;

• Field:

• Bedroom:

• Worth Way:

• Kitchen:

Synopsis of the whole film - Laurel Drew

Fighting for her life Claire could only think of three people who would come running, Ellen, Jay and Simon. Best friends since childhood and always promising they were just a phone call away. But when Claire is more in need of her friends than ever they do not answer her calls. Will they be there for her when she needs them the most? Or will she be left to fight alone? 

As Claire is running away from Luke who's only interest is to see her dead. He lures her into a field, and she tries to ring her friends Ellen, Jay and Simon for help. None of them answer her because they dont hear their phones ringing.

After our opening sequence we cut back in time to see Claire on the morning before she meets Luke and their journey to the moment they are in the field.

Props- Emma Chamberlain

Field Scene:
Old Nokia Mobile- Emma's brother (? After initial planning we decided to use Chris's mobile phone as the screen was clearer an we could see who the person was calling. This was a vital part of the sequence because we wanted the audience to know that the owner of the phone was calling a friend and therefore had their name saved on the phone. This builds characterization. 
Person 1:
Mobile- Laurel
Digital clock-
Duvet-
Pillow-
Glass of water-
Towel-



Person 2:

Dog-

Dog lead- We chose not to use a dog in this scene as it would cause complications that where unnecessary. Keeping the scene to just one character walking allows the audience to focus on the character and not on other distracting features such as a dog.

Mobile-
Wedding ring-




Person 3:
Toast  Butter - Chris . The buttering of the toast noise is empathised to make the viewer pay attention to detail.
Knife - Chris
Mobile-
Cutlerly- layed out for 4 people to show that he has a family and they're having breakfast together.
Radio- The radio music is digetic and so it is important we see a radio in the shot.

Opening Plot - Laurel Drew

Establishing shot of a supposedly empty field. The camera then cuts to a shiny looking object which is a phone but the audience can't see what this is. It then cuts slightly closer to show more of the phone. A cut further close up and the audience can now see what it is. The then close up on the screen of the phone and see that is it's calling Ellen. We then cut to Ellen's bedroom where there is a close up of her phone when it starts ringing. We see her hand hit the phone and answer it. She then gets out of bed and gets ready. We then cut back to the phone who rings Jay. We then cut to Jay walking his dog Bruce. We then cut back to the field where we finally see the phone ringing Simon who is making breakfast for his family. Freya then shouts out 'It's ringing' when his phone rings and then we cut to the title of the film which is 'It's ringing'.
