While you were sleeping presentation
While you were sleeping presentation
Spoken with presentation
Brief
for this assignment I had to produce a 6 minute fictional film centered around at least two main characters and also a 40 second promotional pilot
Research
from my research I decided to produce a dark comedy horror, based on the story and relationship between a hostage and his capturer. The best example of this type of film was a Spanish film produced by Pedro Almodovas entitled “Atame” or in English “tie me up, tie me down”.
The film follows a young man, who had recently been released from a mental institution, the man becomes obsessed with a female actress, who he had previously had a one night stand with.
Character Histories
Terry
Terry is a musician at art, its the only thing he knows how to do well, his had a bad life, he when to a run down school,but worked hard and made it into college, but after his father died, he left college to start working, where he met John.
John
john was brought up in a wealthy family, he went to a private school and got a good education, after school john when to a normal college, where he achieved high and when to university. when he left university, his father handed over the family business to him, this is where john met terry, john interviewed terry and terry was automatically fixated on John for showing him compassion.
Stacie
Stacie is a intelligent women and just after finishing university, she started to work in john department, but within a year she left the company to start up her own company, terry saw Stacie in work and became obsessed with her.
A few months after Stacie leaving, Terry met Stacie in a bar and there relationship started their.
Location
I looked at a few different locations around Nottingham to do with the cellar concept. Some of these places being Nottingham cave, and a few pubs around Nottingham that have been built into the landscape, for example “the Loggerhead”.
With the Nottingham caves I was unable to gain private hire to film in the caves, due to the fact that it is a tourist attraction.
That left me with 5 Noel Street.
Actors
you will already recognize these names as fellow students on the audio/visual pathway, but what you most probably don't know is that these three students had previous acting experience.
Both Jack and Janet are great people to work with in front off and behind the camera.
The reason I choose coworkers to act in my film is because I have previously seen there talents in acting, but I also through it would be a good idea to have them on set for support and help with the technical side of the film as well.
First Script
my first script was a film based on vampires and how they try to coexist with human. The storyline had a lot of twists and underline stories of betrayal and lies, however this story was a lot longer then 6 minutes, and if I cut it down the storyline would have lost its contents, so I scraped this idea until a later date.
Second Script
my second script had more of a basic plot or storyline, and had less twists in the story.
The story is about a man called jack who is having a guest over for dinner, Stacie. The who of them are having a romantic meal for two, however Stacie is unaware of a third guest in the house, this person being John, John has been held captive in Terry's house since Terry fired John for stalking the other workers.
Storyboards
for the storyboards I used frame forge, a 3d software to plan out my scripts path, to be able to visualize how the scenes are going to be laid out and whats going to happen in each scene.
At first I found frame forge difficult to grasp, but after some help and a bit of patients, the software started to come naturally
40 Second Pilot
I wanted my 40 second pilot to be an inverse of what the actually film was going to be like, but after some researching, I realized what I wanted to achieve was more like a trailer then a pilot, so I decided to take my favorite 40 seconds from my film
Title Sequence
for my title sequence I wanted my titles and credits to stay in tune with the genre and design aspect of my film, I decided to make my titles video footage as well to stay in the same design aspect.

Production File - While You Were Sleeping
While You Were Sleeping
By Danny Peachey
I had to produce a 6 minute fictional film centred on two main characters or more, this is the production file that documents all of the processes I used to produce my final product and a 40 second pilot.
For this piece of work I want to create a dark comedy, based around two primary characters and one secondary character.
I first started with researching different types of films involving hostages or hostage situations, these being such as the “Saw” trilogy starting in 2004 and most recently Saw 5 released in 2008, films revolving around people being taken hostage, and given a choice, that would decide their freedom or their death. I also looked at some short films similar to the type of design and I idea I had in mind. I was also looking on You Tube for short films revolving around dark comedy for example Hoodoo for Voodoo, High Expectations and The Inside Job - Mafia Dark Comedy. But my favourite example of a hostage film, that revolves around the relationship between the hostage and its capturer is the film “Tie me up, tie me down”
Tie me up tie me down follows the role of a young man, who has recently been released from a mental institution, he man becomes obsessed with an actress, who he had a one night stand with and doesn’t want to let her leave.
Throughout my project I had to keep a journal of every aspect I did, from research and pre-production all the way to the final product and an evaluation, however I am currently at the post production stage, and the final product being the 6 minute fictional film has not been finalised and evaluated.
I also have to use a piece of 3D software called frame forge to produce a full storyboard of my film as and avi document as well as storyboard stills to visualise how my film will be structured, how it will look and how it will feel.
My primary idea was a fantasy story about vampires in the modern age, living with and around humans, and how they lives can become twisted and manipulated by lies and betrayal, titled “A Memory Of Blood” and you can find the script here. However this script was a lot longer then 6 minutes and I felt that I didn’t have enough knowledge to complete it to a standard that I wanted to achieve and cut it down to 6 minutes while still keeping the main storyline intact.
My secondary idea was the idea of a dark comedy about a hostage and his captures day and what he does throughout the day, the primary script can be found here, I have also written an alternative ending and that script can be found here.
I also wrote a short proposal of an overview of my film, what the characters were like, what makes them significant to the piece, and some basic research, my proposal can be found here.
After I had written my script I started to write some brief character histories for each character, Terry, John and Stacie’s can be located on their names.
After writing the character histories, I searched for actors that I wanted to use, but without funding in my current situation, I decided to go with actors that I knew and who also had experience of working behind the camera as well, but didn’t need being paid for payment for travel or a hotel room, these people being Danny Peachey, Jack Boyles and Janet Chu .
After these three people accepted the desired take I had to write a detailed filming schedule as well as numerous release forms that had to be agreed and signed by the actors and signed of by someone of authority this being Simon Perkins.
I had some locations in mind but I wanted to investigate a range of different places and pick from the best, the place I ended up deciding would be most suitable was 5 Noel Street. The reason I felt 5 noel street was most suitable was because the main reason being, it being where I lived so I didn’t have to get permission to film there, also it has a run down cellar, but the rest of the apartment is well maintained and large enough to hold a crew with a low risk level, the only place with the higher risk level was the cellar, however the cast and crew had high knowledge of the cellar location and the risks involved.
Once the footage was shot, I started to think about how my title credits could be made to look in the same aseptic theme as the 6 minute fictional film and pilot would be and this is what I came up with, the credits title sequence can be found here.

Evaluation
throughout this assignment I had to continuously review and evaluate how I carried out my project, from the pros and cons to how I overcome the problems that arose and how I developed my ideas from my primary idea into my final finished movie.
During this piece of work I had to keep a journal that should have made use of my on line web log utilities, my journal was used to document and reflect on my work as my project progressed.
My primary idea was an in-depth story revolving around two families entitled Memory Of Blood, however I had to scrap this idea due to the face that the final films predicted run time would have been well over the desired six minutes, and If I had to cut the film down to six minutes then a lot of the storyline would have been lost in the process, so I decided to scrap that idea and start over again.
My secondary idea was a collaborative idea that I established and elaborated on with a fellow Audio/Visual Student Jack Boyles, my secondary idea was the idea that I went for as my final idea, the storyline consisted of two primary characters and one secondary character, and the relationship between a hostage and his capturer.
Two days before the scheduled day of filming, both my primary and secondary actor contacted me and to my disappointment pulled out, due to conditions that there car had broken down and it was too late for them to arrange a alternative means of transportation.
As a last result I asked two fellow Audio/Visual students if they could participate in acting in my film, these two people being Jack Boyles and Janet Chu. To my surprise they both agreed to lend me a hand in order to produce my film, because me and jack came up with the storyline together, he already had a good idea of what I wanted and what I expected to gain from the filming.
On the day of the shot the main problem that arose was that the microphone cable wasn't picking up sound but it was still registering on the camera that the sound was being captured, it was only after filming and capturing the footage, that I discovered there had been a problem with the microphone, however I decided to overcome this problem by using a sound booth to reproduce the audio and a soundtrack that was produced by a amateur sound designer and my house mate, Henry Girgis.
While editing the biggest problem I found was not the footage or sound, but cutting the footage down to 6 minutes without losing the storyline.
Day one of filming I wrote on my on line journal “I had a lot of fun working on my film today, there was a lot of funny out takes and for the first time i really had fun filming a piece of work, this was also the first chance i got in a long time to actually be on camera not just the guy behind the lens, the face no one ever remembers,” I feel that this quote sums up the whole experience I gained from the production work I produced, Working along side two very good and close mates was a great opportunity.
The software I used to capture my footage and compile my movie was a software designed for Windows called Adobe Premiere, the version I used of the software was Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0, I didn't use the latest edition which is CS3 because I feel comfy with the design and layout of Pro 2.0, if I had a choice I would have used Final Cut Pro for the Mac, the reason being is that have had two year pier experience with Final Cut Pro, and I am more confident with that piece of software, however to have the advantage in my field of work, I need to experience and develop my knowledge and skills In a range of different softwares and achieve in-depth knowledge into my area of expertise. I feel that working on my own for this assignment allowed me to learn about my own personal strengths and weaknesses and how I can overcome the weakness and mature my strengths, thus gaining a better grasp and knowledge of my own capabilities and my potential to develop future in the future, to achieve my own goals.
When I finished a draft version of my film, I sent my father a email to ask his opinion on what he thoughts were on what I had done so far and if there was anything he thought I should change or try to improve, within a hour he replied to my email saying, and I quote “ I am amazed that I piece of work such as this was done by my son, you make me and your mother so proud, you was the first one in the family to go to university and you are living my dream, we are both proud of what you have become and achieved.”
What my father said to me in that email gave me a large burst of confidence, but he also gave me some ideas and pointers on how I could improve my footage and from what he said I feel that I developed and improved the final outcome of my movie.
One major problem that arose near the end of my final footage was that my external hard drive where my data was kept malfunctioned, and I lost all my work on it, lucky enough, I had most of the assignment in other locations, the production folder was handed in a few weeks pier to the malfunction, so that was one part of work already completed, most of the footage was already uploaded onto youtube, the cuts and shots had been listed, so all I had to do was recapture the footage and from the shot list I had already written, cut the footage to the shot list and I had the footage that I originally lost.
Overall I was satisfied with the outcome of my final movie, however the final film could have been better, if problems hadn't occurred such as my hard drive malfunctioning and losing my in progress work, I could have maybe developed the final film and spent more time developin , but I am grateful that these problem did arise because these problems gave me the oppitunity to develop my knowledge and look at my work from a different

Proposal
Proposal
For this piece of work I have to produce a 6 minute fictional film centered around two main characters. I also have to use a piece of 3D software called frameforge to produce a full storyboad of my film to visualise how my film will be structured, how it will look and how it will feel.
For this piece of work I want to create a dark comedy, based around two primary characters and one secondary character. The main primary character will be a man called Terry Jack Thugson, he is an affectionate man however he doesn’t completely understand his actions.
Terry is the primary character in which the dark comedy is situated around.
I have considered creating the pilot as an inversion of what my 6 minute film is going to be about, right until the very end of the pilot.
John is the secondary character, he use to be terry boss and felt compassion towards him because terry tried hard to fit in with other people and make friends at work but because of his rough appearance no one wanted to associate with him at work.
I was considering filming more then one ending to have a few veariations of the story with a few alternative endings.
For this piece of work to be successful I need to dedicate a lot of time and effort to this piece of work, I have been studying some short films on youtube revolving around dark comedy for example Hoodoo For Voodoo.

Pilot
Pilot
The pilot is a 40 second taster of my six minute film, they 40 seconds I decided to use was my favourite scene to do, this is the scene where Terry, goes mental at John. Terry hits john and then chucks a liquid beverage in Johns face. Terry uses some comparisons of Johns attitude and behaviour to hansel and Gretel, in the way John is being greedy.
