Mid Term Submission

Storyboard

I helped with the storyboard by coming up with all of the shots that he needed to draw for the storyboard.

Scout locations

These first few images are at Matthews house which is our hopeful filming location.

These next two are of my house which is the back up if there is problems for whatever reason at Matthews.

I contributed to this by deciding the film places and Matthew took the pictures of them.

Scheduling film

We were planning to shoot the movie on over the weekend of December 14 but it didn't go to plan with everyone's schedule and I had to work the next few days. The following Monday we went to Matthews house on the 17th. There was also problems because we had to wait for the train to go by his house at night which was missed the first few times because it had already passed while we were at soccer practice.

Shot list

Establishing shot-This will be Max and Gabby parking into their spot after the wedding. 

Hand held-Starts as a mid-shot that’s following max into the house in which the camera fades to black. This will make the scene more hectic. 

Mid Shot-Gabby is exiting the car with a lot of things to bring into her house. This shot is going to show struggle is starting. 

Wide Shot-Gabby's heel to her shoe gets stuck in the tracks and she begins to get angry. 

Close up-Her face will have a frightened expression to show there is something off screen that is happening. 

Point of View Shot-This shot will have Gabby looking down the tracks while there is a bright light coming her direction. 

Hand Held-Shaking of the camera while the train is moving closer to Gabby creating more realism to the scene. 

Two Shot-Matt and Nick are taking a for sale sign out of the ground. 

Close up-Nick opening the same door that max had went into. 

Over the shoulder-While Nick and Matt are talking you see Gabby's ghost in the doorway making strangle movements. 

Wide Shot-Nick and Matt in the kitchen looking at the broken glass. The wide shot is used to show that there is nothing besides them in the house. 

High angle Close Up-Zooming in while Gabby presses the knife to his neck. 

For the Shot list I had to come up with all the shots for the movie. I watched a lot of horror movies so I could get ideas of what they did to create suspense and horror. 

Casting

Gabby-I chose to have Gabby in the film because she is a quiet closed off girl. She has the stereotypical haunting hair. She is also very small and can make creepy movements. She is also one of my good friends so we can easily include her in the shots.

Max-I want to use him for the movie because he is very outgoing and will be able to be serious and make it seem more real.

Matt-The scene is taking place at his house and he has permission to use his moms car. He also has been in plays and has been in a middle school that was set on performing.

Nick-Nick is in the movie because he is into acting and is a serious person and will be able to give a fearful tone and make the movie seem more real.

For the casting i mainly contributed by going out and seeking people that I know to be in the film. I looked for the people i think could best fit each role in the movie.

script

This is my script for our movie called "Derailed and Deranged". I have come up with the majority of the script because my partner hasn't consistently been to school. I decided to put short and quick conversations so the audience can focus more on the surroundings rather than what the characters are talking about. In the majority of the first scene there is only one character screaming to build suspense during the action match between her and the train.
