Scratch storyboard update

When filming we changed our storyboard slightly as we found other ideas thats we could add to make it effective.
After the initial tally scratching, we have the man walking into the building. He then walks down a flight of stairs, and down a corridor, turning left. He enters a room, and slams the door. Sitting down at his desk, he finds a small piece of paper saying 'YOU ARE NEXT', and he throws the contents of his desk to the floor. He hears a large bang, and stands up, only to find a woman walking in at the same time. She states it is his turn, and shoots him.
After each scene, we will insert a credit, and have selected the credits we wish to use.

Shooting Schedule



We made our first shooting schedule in december but due to unforseen circumstances prblems occured and in result we couldmnt follow the original schedule and then had to adjust it to include the new plans and what has already been completed.
On the shooting schedule it explains What date will be doing the filming, what equipment has been used or was planned to be used although this may have changed when filming. Also who was involved whn filming, what section/frame is being filmed at the time and the location.

Actors for scratch.
The actor we have chosen is called Martin chord. He is also studing for AS media studies and does performaing arts so we thought he would be professional and good for the part. We also thought that he would suit the part as his appearence looks as what we want the character to be shown as. He was also the best person we thought that would play the part out of the people we asked.

The woman actress isnt shown, only the shadow is shown, so i will be the shadow for this part of the opening.

The soundtrack for Scratch.
We only have two minutes for our film piece so we need to find a piece of music that will fit this exact criteria. We want continuity throughout our opening of our film so we need to make sure the soundtrack does this so we need to find a piece that is two minutes or very close to two minutes.

We have looked at different soundtracks and a music site that is very helpful called
http://freeplaymusic/. We found some soundtracks that we think will be appropriate for our opening. When looking at this site we found a piece called 'Gates to Adis', that we found http://freeplaymusic.com/search/category_search.php?t=v&i=944 and it is track number 7, We thought this piece gave a scary feel to it and may make viewers confused.We also when looking for a soundtrack came across a piece called Steadfast which i thought sounded as if it was showing a flashback and telling a story. When looking on the website again we came across a soundtrack that is very familiar to many people called Rex Tremendae (from the Mozart Requiem mass)Track 1.

After finding this soundtrack we thought this would be really good to use as we didnt wanted vocals, choirs, some stings and drums and a loud drum beats. I think it gives a dramatic feel to it and may make the viewers curious. At the start of the opening of the thriller we want to show a Vinyl record machine starting and at the same time the soundtrack starts, when listening to this soundtrack we thought it would fit the period of time well.
We have decided to use the soundtrack called Rex Tremendae (from the Mozart Requiem Mass), As we think it sits well to what we want to show.
