We used a lot of theory to help create the task as well:
Making Fake Blood + Scars
We learnt about making fake blood and scars using simple equipment but not everything turns out the way we want it to so we had to scrap the scar idea and work with blood using honey and red colour poisoning
Script Writing
We had to write a script which we wanted to make criminal themed. We got ideas from shows like, Criminal Minds, NCIS and CIS to grasp the concept of how to make it life like and as if this task we like someone had died.
Scene 1
(Door slams Lauren walks in)
Sophie - Who's there? (Feeling anxious and paranoid)
(No answer)
Lauren - (goes to shake hand) Hello my name is Inspector
Amber Watkins, please take a seat.
Sophie - (ignores friendly gesture and looks away) no speech
(Lauren sits down and waits for Sophie to respond to orders)
(Not bothered facial expression)
... Pause of silence
(Lauren sorts out papers and puts recording on table)
(Sophie continues to fidget and breathing heavily)
Sophie - I did nothing wrong, they did it.
(Lauren looking emotion less)
(Lauren starts recording)
Lauren - At 16:37 Nicole parsons was found dead in the back
garden of Madison bloom, what is your take on this?
Sophie - (mumbling to herself) I didn't do it, i did nothing
wrong.
Lauren - where were between hours of 4 and 5 o clock
Saturday evening?
Sophie - I was with them
Lauren - (looking angry and concerned) who is ... them?
Sophie - (walks into spotlight) Their my friends ... erm ...
(hesitates) My friends ... (screams) Don't you believe me? (Slams hands on
table)
Lauren - Calm down (reaches for Sophie’s hand)
(Sophie moves hands, and walks backwards)
Scene 2
(Sapir grabs Sophie’s shoulders)
Sapir - Hello there (sly face)
Desiree - so how yah been Madi? Killed anyone lately? (Grins repeatedly) (Sly face)
Sapir - Yea Madi, Killed anyone lately? (Touching her hair)
Sophie - (faces windows) I didn't kill anyone ... You did it
... Why don't you guys just own up? (Controlling voice)
Desiree - So what if we killed her? No one will find out!
(Flicks Sophie’s hair) (walking around her)
Sapir - Technically (emphasis on the 'Y') you killed her,
because you hand the knife. We didn’t tell you what to do.
(Sophie should be silent, but looking angry)
Desiree - whooooa is someone getting angry? (Laughs and
pokes her)
Sapir - Is someone going to throw a tantrum? (Laughs and
pokes her)
(Sapir and Desiree push Sophie around)
Sophie - (screams) stop it, stop it ... I didn’t do
anything, it wasn’t my fault ...
Scene 3
(Lauren scared and very worried)
(Lauren looks at Sophie whilst she is getting knocked about)
Lauren - Who are you talking to?
Sophie - (Realised she is alone) I was talking to my
friends.
Lauren - Where are your friends?
Sophie - They are right here.
(Sapir and Desiree make a mess)
(Sophie wide eyed and scared)
Lauren - Stay here I'll be back
(Lauren sprints away)
(Sapir appears and drags Sophie head to the table)
(Sophie bends down)
Sapir - This is for your own good
(Sapir’s passes Desiree the hair) (Desiree wraps round hand)
Desiree - This is what’s best for you...
(Slams head on table)
(Sophie collapses on floor)
For the second take, we made it more simple and tried to make it as if 2 people were naturally talking. I know a script doesn't seem natural but the script that we made was more of a guideline so when editing it wouldn't seem weird.
Enter Room – Shot 1
P1 : Hey What’s up?
P2 : Nothing Much, are you going to Poppy’s party?
P1 : Mm.. I don’t think so. Do you remember what happened
last time?
P2 : YES! I was such an awesome night but oh I remember what
happened between you and Jade.
P1 : Yer, I know right, she was well out of order.
P2 : It wasn’t even her party, she shouldn’t of even started
a fight with you.
P1 : yer exactly. She got thrown out so that’s fine with me.
P2 : you should just come, I bet she won’t even be there
P1 : Well I have so much work so. (Interrupted)
P2 : No, you’re coming and that’s final
P1 : Fine, but you owe me.
P2 : We should go shopping
P1 : Yehhh. I have been dying to buy this awesome jacket.
P2 : Oh My God, is that one from the shop in town/Topshop?
P1 : yehh, we should go on Friday
P2 : yeh, I can’t wait, the parties going to be epic.
P1 : Yeh, but if Jade is there, then I am leaving!
P2 : Ok fine, that’s fair
(Bell Rings)
P1 : Got to go to Psychology bye
Storyboarding
We storyboarded to make it easier for us to create the task so we knew the direction and simple camera shots we were going to make.
Choosing the Right Location
For the first take, we thought a dark atmosphere like the drama studio could be effective as we could make anything of a small dark rooms and it may look like a real investigator room. But unfortunately after watching the clip, we decided it looked to drama based.
The second take was simpler as we knew when talking to friends you tend to just talk to them in a room with a few friends etc...
Using free time effectively
When using your own free time you have to use it effectively and not get surrounded by distractions.
Match On Action
Match On Action is more of a theory based as it doesn't require any technology just the use of remembering where things were and trying to keep it that way. For example, we had a box in the first take to represent a recording machine and because it stayed there we had match on action because it never moved. Same for the second take as the laptop was always the way it was so we didn't need have much hard work on having match on action
