Character Profiles

Character Profile:

In this section I will be uploading the character profiles for my cast. This section will include Ahri, Roxanne, Billy and Dean. Having a character profile will allow the actor or actress to get into character easier and also help the character to feel more confident in their acting.

above is my character profile of Ahri. Ahri is one of the main characters within the short film. From the character profile you can see that she is quite shy. As well as this, her character profile can be compared with the others to show how the characters personalities differ.
 
This Roxanne's character profile. Roxanne's personality is very different from Ahri's. Roxanne is more confident and outgoing. Roxanne is also one of the main characters within this short film therefore she plays a big part in the story.

Release Form

Release Form:

A legal release form is a legal document that acts to terminate any liability between the releaser and the releasee. Sometimes a release can be made orally but then no documentation of this agreement would have been made therefore it is more efficient and safer to use a documented version.
 

Final Script and Story Board for The Invisible

The final script:

This is the final copy of our script. The reason it has changed is due to a change in the cast as well as a change in location. This means I needed to modify the script slightly so it fitted into our new location. We kept the story the same but changed aspects so it suited our location better. This is how this script was made. For example, some of the wordings changed and instead of a party we are now doing a fundraising event. This means that it will suit the storyline better.

StoryBoards:

This is also where the storyboard for the film was finalised after the changes that lead to some of the scenes changing locations. Within the film, we wanted to do a range of shots to make it look more professional and to keep the audience entertained. Below is the storyboards for the film. 














Call Sheets

Call Sheets:

In this section I have created Call Sheets for my cast and crew. A call sheet is a filmmaking term for a schedule which is created by the assistant director using the shot list. This will be issued to cast and crew members to inform them of where they need to be and at what time. As well as this, it will tell them what they are filming that day and which makeup and wardrobes they will need as well as other information to ensure the shoot runs smoothly.
After May the 12th we had completed the filming off all the scenes therefore meaning the film was ready to enter 'post production'.

Indie Films

Indie Films:




In this section I have looked at the Indie film industry. I have look into what n Indie film is and what kind of issues could be addressed. As well as this, I have looked into both the Sundance and the Raindance Film Festivals ad provided some examples of Indie Film posters. I believe that this is beneficial as my poster looks very Indie and I think it will b a good idea to pursue this kind of idea. This also helps me to identify different types of film within the industry and how each of them are important in their own way.

Teaser Posters for The Invisible Final

Teaser Posters

In this section I will be showing the teaser posters that I have created for my short film. They show each of the lead characters within the film. This is due to them having the most impact within the film. As well as this, the story revolves around them therefore it makes more sense to do it for just the main characters rather than all of them.

 Ahri

 
 
This is my first teaser poster that was created. My actor posed in order to capture a certain feeling. By looking down she can create a sad and lonely look. This helps to portray her character as being a shy girl who doesn't socialise much with her friends. This will help the audience to gain a deeper insight into the character of Ahri.
 

 Roxanne

This is my second teaser posted which was created for the character of Roxanne. Roxanne is an outgoing and fun girl and her abusing her boyfriend is a secret. This is incorporated into the teaser poster as she is looking and smiling at something but yet no one would notice or even know that this character was an abusive girlfriend. This means that when the audience finds out then they will be more shocked about the nature of this character.

 

Location Shots

Location shots:

In this section I will be looking into my location shots and describing what they are when they are used and in some cases how this helps to influence the story line.

Act 1 Scene 1:


These are my two location shots for my first act and my first scene. It will be during the day and will take place outside in the garden area. This is where we are first introduced to our main characters of Roxanne and Dean. Shortly afterwards we are introduced to our third main character of Ahri. This helps show the relationships between the characters. I also chose this scene as it is a nice and open space for the characters to be presented in.

Act 2 Scene 1:


 
This is my location for my second act and my first scene. This is where we will be introduced to the character of Billy who influences the drama that will arise between Dean, Roxanne and Ahri. This will take place during their study period so the mood will be relaxed. This also gives us plenty of space for Ahri to rein act the falling scene. Filming within the common room also helps to make the short film more professional as well as the background noise making it appear more natural.

Act 2 Scene 2:


This is where my second scene of act 2 will be filmed. This is a great place to record as no-one will be there to interfere and it also helps to portray the loneliness of our lead actor Dean and his emptiness due to his girlfriend abusing him. This location has also got a lot of natural light therefore meaning it is a great place to record in order to film a perfect shot.

Act 3 Scene 1:



 
These are all the possible locations for my third act. These will provide us with the perfect location to rein act our book fair fundraising scene. This will also give us enough space to act out the anger scene as Ahri and Dean have plenty of places to hide as well as Roxanne places to look.

Act 3 Scene 2:

The last scene will feature them leaving the library and re-entering the scene where we first got introduced to them. This helps the audience to understand that Ahri was only trying to help him all along. As well as this, It also provides a nice shot of them walking off together that can be used as a ending for our film to show that equilibrium has been achieved.
