production log; script


ACT ONE

SCENE ONE



EXTERNAL, DAY CREEPY HOUSE FRONT DOOR.



CREEPY V.O:



This is the place that you really don’t want to come and      visit even for a second.



INTERNAL, HOUSE.



DAVID:



(Looking at a computer screen) Oh, this seems interesting. Let’s hope I can get Gary there without him noticing what it is and what I have done.



CREEPY V.O:



Now that is one way you don’t keep a friend (coughs) I mean that is David. Now he is a bit of a lunatic as he takes his “friend” Gary to scary places, like this one. Let’s take a look at why this is a no go area.



EXTERNAL, DAY OLD STREET.



OLD MAN:



Hey! You better get out of here. Do you know what happened here? No? Then let me tell you… in the early life of this street was this house even before building started on this area.



CREEPY V.O:



He is not wrong. This house was built by the old land owners which is now ran by the council, as they give them a huge offer and they wisely took it.



OLD MAN:



Before you were even born there was a man who hated other people and he would find people who annoyed him that day and… it’s too grim for your young ears.







KARL:



Mate! I’m 16. So I can hear it.



OLD MAN:



Well if you wish… I will tell you everything I know personally, he would take them inside the house in the shed actually and put their fingers in a vice until the vice can shut no more, then… it would be their tongues.



KARL:



WOAH!!! MATE STOP I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE!



OLD MAN:



I told you so.



KARL:



I thought I could manage but obviously I can’t.



 OLD MAN:



Well if you get the courage then come back and I will tell you the rest.



KARL:



Ok. I will do that then.



BLACK SCREEN



CREEPY V.O:



Okay that turned out different to what was written in the script (slurps drink) oh sorry I didn’t know that it finished no-one tells me anything unless I watch out. But that was not true what the old man was saying he was making it up as he was the old house owner and he just hates everybo…



OLD MAN:



HEY! WHAT ARE YOU SAYING ABOUT ME LIKE? YOU STRANGE PERSON SITTING IN A BOOTH.







CREEPY V.O:



Well I am just saying that you went off script. But can we continue this after the filming?



OLD MAN:



Yeah I will be waiting.



ACT TWO

SCENE TWO



EXTERNAL, DAY COLLEGE



DAVID:



Come on Gary you need to see this place it is amazing.



GARY:



No! David for the last time you know I hate the houses which look like they have a dark backstories.



DAVID:



I know but it is different as this one just looks creepy.



GARY:



Are you sure this time as many times before you said this and it had horrible backstories.



DAVID:



No this time I did plenty of research and nothing came back.



GARY:



Are you sure?



DAVID:



YES!



GARY:



Ok I will go this time.



DAVID:



You won’t regret it Gary.



GARY:



YEAH. YEAH.



CREEPY V.O:



TIM! that was strange… it turns out the old man was my neighbor when I was younger. Huh I must have pressed the button. I will let you continue.





ACT THREE

SCENE THREE



External, night creepy house front



DAVID:



Well what did I say about this place?



GARY:



You are right it does just look creepy and not haunted like I thought.



DAVID:



See I might not always be right but I have a good feeling about this place.



GARY:



What do you mean have a good feeling about this place?



DAVID:



Err… well… what I didn’t tell you is that I am buying this place…







GARY:



YOU WHAT?



DAVID:



Look I know if I told you this then you wouldn’t have come along.



GARY:



I WONDER WHY!



DAVID:



(Turns away) I know but this place has potential… Gary? Is this a joke if it is then it is not funny.



(CREEPY SOUNDS FROM BEHIND DAVID)



(Slowly turns around then spots a large grey figure lurking around the building making clicking noises)



(Pulls out his phone and calls his girlfriend to let her know)



DAVID:



Babe I know it’s late but I need to tell you that I don’t think I am coming home tonight.



GIRLFRIEND:



What do you mean don’t think you are you’re not spending all night with Gary.



DAVID:



GARY IS DEAD…



GRILFRIEND:



WHAT DO YOU MEAN?







DAVID:



LISTEN… I have to go but if I make it I will tell you everything… BYE BABE (HANGS UP)



(Heavy breathing from behind him)



(Hand falls on his shoulder)



(He turns)

Show reel

College Promotion In this promotion we were starting to understand more fully on what was needed in the creation of short videos. As we edited this we were confused as this was our first experience of editing. The way that we shot this was a mid shot of the presenter and the guest as to give the interview some reality. Tyneside Cinema This short film trailer was created as an experience of the industry standard of trailers from the shooting to the editing as this would allow us to gain the knowledge.

Proposal

This is my proposal of this short production. A proposal is used to help the director the chance to gain funding. Proposal The film in which I have made this year is a mystery as there are different aspects of a mystery in the production. There is a section of the production that would help with the sense of mystery as the audience would be questioning what happened with the grandma and farther as there is not much said about them in the dialogue. The target audience for this production is 15-18-year-old as there are some aspects which may be unsuitable for younger viewers as there will be a fight scene and that might upset younger viewers. Stacey is the main character and the viewers would feel sympathy for her as she has been through tough times during the film as she has lost her grandma and her dad. This would allow the audience to connect with her. Jacob is the boyfriend of Stacey and he has a different attitude during the film as he starts as a kind person t...

The Importance Of Sound Editing

The reason why you need to edit sound within media recordings is to remove the audio sections that are unnecessary, this would allow the piece to be shortened as this could have a more positive affect to the listener as they wouldn’t have to listen to an overly long recording as they would not be as interested in the recording. The reason that the recording needs to be cleaned up is that the recording may have some background interruptions such as sounds e.g. doors opening/closing and air-conditioning units. These would have negative effects on the overall outcome of the recording as they would be distracting to the listener. An example of factual content being edited is the news as they would have some audio in an uncontrolled environment as there would be pedestrians and vehicles in the background and this would be distracting for the audience to hear what the reporter I saying. The studio is a controllable environment as they can make sure that there are no unnecessary noise di...
