The Final cut for Movie #1





This is my final cut for Movie #1.

PRODUCTION PACKAGE Movie #3

Production-
We have a cast of two individuals a woman and a man.

The man is a uncouth slime ball who is stalking this woman at a party, his goal is to make her his own. He wants her to be with him and it turns into a lust to be with her and be her at the same time. Throughout his thought process the only way to make her his is to cut her up and stuff her and take on her identity. He does this in his own twisted lovingly way. He tries to make a connection between the girl and himself by wearing women's clothing and makeup.

The woman on the other hand is just an average person going to a party and drinking like everyone else there. She is unaware of her surroundings and the only thing that runs through her mind is fear once she is captured. She seems to always be thinking while in fear and even escapes at one point. She is only equipped with the clothing and nothing else for escape.

1. Analysis of script

one female- the victim
a group of people at party

c. Two main locations: the party scene which will probally be beside a body of water and the stalkers house which will be an abandoned house

d. There will be no big stunts or special effects.

e. The girl will wear normal clothes while the stalker will wear weird clothes such as dresses and smeared lipstick

f. The main props will be old tools such as saws, bounding materials such as rope or tape, and an older truck


3. Location Scout
Most of our locations will have no available power so the only light will be the sun and bounce cards.


Actors: I have around 5 people we can use
- Zack Williams
- Kim ""
- Molly Young
- Mike


This is the story- boarding layout
- The story starts out with the man singing at mid shot
- Then you will see a group of people walk in a abandon house
- The man will be singing again as he walks in.
- The kidnapper will make kind small talk with his next victim.
- He snatches her up and carries her out towards the car.
- The man sings his way to his house while holding her in a head lock.
- He parks the car and lets her see the splendors of the house.
- The house is really disturbing
- She gets locked up
- She tries to escape but gets caught
- The man basically does a taxidermy ritual.
- Both the man and woman go to sleep in the same bed, but the girl has lost all will to escape.



Tenchi, Wesley and myself are doing a collaborative movie that all three of us will produce. We are going with the Tenchi's first movie idea that he proposed in class, which is the one about the music video. The idea is that we make a movie that comments on the song "Hey There Delilah," but we add our on lyrics to the instrumental. The script will basically be the lyrics to the song. We have not developed that yet, but we were thinking that we will need around 3- 5 actors. The location will be in Arkansas... well that's what we are working on and we still need to block the scenes.

Lyrics for "Hey There Delilah" Reference for New Film

Hey there Delilah
What's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl, tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Times Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true

Hey there Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice, it's my disguise
I'm by your side

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me

Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me, girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good

Hey there Delilah
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me

A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame

Hey there Delilah
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be making history like I do
You'll know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here's to you
This one's for you

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me.

Ideaz for the Final Movie

1. For the first movie idea that crossed my mind was to make a version Family Guy the animated cartoon show with really people. The idea would be to create a movie that tries to mimic the same randomness that occurs in the t.v series. This would be a comedy with no doubt about it. I would like to have like small movies within this movie to create the same aesthetic that happens in the movie. I think this needs to be as closely related to the real thing as possible.

2. My second idea was to create recreate Friday the movie, but it's not about black people in the hood... it's about white people in their neighborhood. The storyline will be similar to the movie, but made different by the obstacles and situations that this person gets himself into.

3. My third idea for a movie that I want to do is a martial arts movie. This movie will be about two friends who are forced to fight one another to the death to pass the final stage of their training. Only one can survive.

Rehearsal Write- Up

My rehearsal last Saturday night with my actors went ok, in the idea that everyone understood what I was shooting for. Everyone was cooperative and willing to do what I wanted them to do. I had a lot of trouble keeping up with my actors and making sure that they will be able to make it to the rehearsal. I will for the final video replace an actor because she won't be in town this weekend, so we will see how everyone is able to adapt and continue with the acting. I didn't realize how small my space was and that made me take in account the way my lighting will have to be lit. I know that I want a basic overhead lighting that doesn't really leave shadows because I want the audience to be able to see everything that's going on. We all had fun for the most part, but I wouldn't have really high expectations on this shoot because some of my actors are not that energetic and mood capturing as I would like them. But we'll see how funny it comes out to be.
