Shadow Ideas ?



I would like to use the idea of either a long line of either a shadow or ray of light coming down towards the camera. This gives the exact effect that I would like because it connotes that, that person has two lives, and it speak for every character in my film. First of all Noah, who believes he is still alive but is actually dead. Jack, who is a schizophrenic, and Coral who is Noah’s dead wife but is actually alive.




This photo gives the effect that this person is imprisoned. And I want my potential audience to feel like that and my character to be shown like that. It would make the audience wonder what the film is about, especially with the title Daedmi. I am scared that this may put the audience off by having their genres that they like to see, when I have combined many together and not showing a specific genre itself.






This is sort of the type of shadow I was talking about in the first photo but it really needs to be a full shadow not just the legs at the end shown. I would also position my photography in the dark instead of in the day light because it would give a more thrill to the poster.


Daedmi Animatic




This is my Daedmi animatic. I had problems with taking photographs and creating an animatic, so I had to use me storyboard and put that into an animatic. It went ok, but I think it would look a lot better with photographs. My film is a little different than I originally planned on the storyboard and the story line.

First Filming Session

I had my first filming session and it went quite well, I was able to film about half of my film but there were a couple of limitations, life for instance, I wanted to film the whole film in that day, but it started getting too dark when I was filming outside, so all I got was the inside scenes and the beginning scene outside. The second limitation was that some of the shots I used in my storyboard couldn't really fit with the actual filming like the hall way was too small to track the subjects by the side, there was a mirror on the wall that could not be moved also in the hall way and noises in the background like cars driving by that didn't help with the quietness of the scene I wanted it to be.

I will be filming again very shortly and it will be prepared so that the outside scenes will be done first and as quick as possible.
