Narrative Theory

The following is a theory that will be relevant to my short film. It is based on Todorov's Narrative Theory.

Short Film: Opening Font

Within the design aspect of my blog, I need to find a suitable font for the opening sequence of my film. The opening is dark clouds, therefore I am assuming I will need something which is bold.



Bebas Neue Font - Dafont

Steelfish Font - Dafont

Worthwhile Font- Dafont

Futurist Fixed Width - Dafont

 

Now that I have my top four fonts, I will apply these to the opening scene and record which one I like the best.

Short Film Planning: Script Ideas

A few weeks ago I posted my first draft of the script I created for Abigail's first monologue. Since then, I have altered the idea and I want to have Abigail state in the beginning that she has this one anonymous friend as this will be easier explaining the story as opposed to filming it out and the audience getting confused.

The above monologue will be what Abigail says at the beginning of the film. The next monologue will be spoken by Jacob when he is messaging Abigail in his room.



Filming Day 7: The train station

I recently went on a trip from Edinburgh to Newcastle with the Lewis, II thought this would be a good time to film the flashback scene where Jacob is travelling to the harbour the first time that he comes across the girl who is looking over the edge. This is also the scene where Jacob was ready to jump off the bridge but because he saw her, he stopped.

Filming: Day 6

Today, I decided to film a scene of Abigail and her friends just to add in a bit more about her for the audience. The filming went really well and next time I go out to film I am going to be filming the scene of Jacob laying down some flowers at the site where she died.

Filming: Day 5

Today, I went down to Hebburn Harbour with Taylor and Lewis to film all the outdoor scenes that Abigail and Jacob are in. I was really pleased with how well today went, I loved the lighting, I feel like it set the mood perfectly.
