Sharp White Script

The only talking in Sharp White was the phone call, this is how it went...

Jasmine- 999 whats your emergency?

Luke- *Breathing heavily*

Jasmine- 999 whats your emergency?

Luke- She's dead! She's dead!

Jasmine- Sir, where are you?

Luke- Help me, please help me, I think their still here!

*phone gets cut*


To record the conversation, we used my phone. I have an app called Blackberry voice recorder. Once we were happy with the phone call, I then formatted the file so it was compatible with Imovie, then added it into our movie.

Editing Sharp White

I did the editing for our opening sequence in our group. Choosing where which clip goes, the choice of titles and other editing procedures. I think i understand how to use the software 'IMovie' the most, so my group let me get on with it. I did offer to give them a go at it but the answer was always no. I did also ask for help but not much feedback was given. Keira had the idea to use a blur effect when the strangers were coming closer to the camera. This effect made the sequence quicker and looks better than without it. 

Jasmine and Keira helped when it came to choosing the music, we used the pre-loaded music on 'IMovie' and used our mobile phone to create the phone call, which then had to be converted online so it was compatible for IMovie.

Choosing the sound;

Sharp White Plot

As a group we have decided that our film will be along the lines as the film 'The strangers' but with one victim,not two. By having only one victim, it makes it more our own as it will not be exactly the same as the strangers.  
The plot for our film is; A young girl returns home from college, carrying her work. She's struggling with the front door keys, when she finally opens the door she remembers that she has left something behind. She then makes her way back to the car, leaving the front door open, un-knowing that there is a visitor making its way into her home. When she then re-enters her home, she locks the door behind her, un-aware that she is not alone. The masked stranger, then makes its way to the back door and welcomes in two accomplishes. The victim can feel the presence, but doesn't see them.

You will never know who they are, or why they are there. Maybe they got bored?or maybe its revenge, we will never know the true story behind the un wanted visit.

Making Sharp White

Our group met twice after school, we were expecting it to take longer than two nights to film all the shots. Some of our shots were outside; this was difficult to do as we couldn't rely on the weather. When we was about to start filming, it started to rain. We worked around it and had our camera-man to hold an umbrella over the camera to ensure there was no damage done. 

We all enjoyed making the opening sequence, it was much more work than our Continuity Sequence but still very enjoyable. We learnt how to be more creative with our shots. We changed some of the shots from our storyboard, as we were about to film certain shots we thought it would look better a different way. So we tried both and then seen which one looked better.

Location List and Costumes and Role Lists

Location List
We will be filming inside and outside of Jasmine's house. We will use the drive, the front garden, hallway, kitchen, living room and Jasmines bedroom.

The strangers will be standing at the end of this junction, as they watch me in the background go into my car with out me knowing. 

Costumes
As our killers are 'strangers' we borrowed plain white masks from the drama department in school, this then hides their identity as we will never know who they are. The strangers were all dressed similar to each other  rather casual as if they were just normal people and not 'typical murderers'. 

I will be wearing just my school uniform as i have just returned home from a day at school/college, then Luke will wear his uniform as he has just found me the next day on his way for us to walk to school.



Our Roles
We all had certain roles within the group. This grid was completed after we have finished filming,so this is what we all contributed.

Sharp White Cast List

There are 4 people in our group, but we had extra help of a year 13.

The main character is me, playing myself Shannon Evans. I am the victim in the film. My group members chose me to play this role as i did not mind what role i had, so they chose me as the victim.

Then there is Luke Price who plays my brother. He comes in and finds me dead on the living room floor, then makes a call to 999.

The three strangers are Jasmine Day, Keira Pain and Kerri Newman. These are the murderers, we never get to see their faces in the film as they are hidden behind the white masks.
