Second Location!

We found the Second Location for the Alleyway scene. It looks really good, its perfect just I envisioned it. We were lucky to find it!... For ages we were wondering where we could film it and we were becoming quite worried incase we didn't find one in time but we did! Here's some photos...

 Three pictures of the whole alleyway.  One with Monique running down it as our captor. You can see how narrow it is.
 

Close up of the end of alley, Adam's
leather jacket got caught in the shot.








One side of the wall at different parts. We considered at which point to put one of our hostages   
 
Start of the wall

Middle of the wall
Towards the end of the wall: We decided to place the
character Clara Watson against this wall either here...


Corner: Or here.

We decided to put one of our hostages in the corner or by the wall right next to it. Here's Monique and I modelling how it would look.

"Please don't kill me!"


The other side of the wall is where we are considering to sit our other hostage. Monique's foot is caught in one of the photos! And here she is in another against the same wall looking like a very scary captor...

Ooh! Creepaaay!

Locations!

Here's some of the Locations were considering to use when filiming our thriller film...

Mr D's Office
This is the first office we viewed for our frist scene with Detectives in the office.
Both computers are along that wall on that desk, the first one is right next to that plant, you can see it a little bit (leaves are hanging over it).The first one at the front would be Detective Joe'sand the one futher
 down Detective Sarah's.

Also having the clipboard
of papers behind makes it
look like police tracking 
work up on the wall (all we
would have to do is add a
map with some pins). 

Mr C's Office
This next office is perhaps smaller but it has a different layout. Instead of the computer being up against the side wall it faces the door entrance. The other computer is behind, and like Mr D's office works out very well for the two detectives that share a room.

In the end we decided to go with this one. 
It is easier to film someone sitting around the computer from all angles around it; whereas with the position of the furniture in the other office we can't film from behind the computer which is a shot in our film the first establishing one in fact!

Storyboard!

The group worked on and agreed our storyboard today! Drawing skills aren't fantastic, but at least tyheir clear and we all know what we mean!..




FINAL SCRIPT

Here's the final script for our film DEADLY ENVY...

We decided not to put Sahar in our film as she doesn't fit the role because she looks too young and we would preferably use someone else as she is part of our group. We found someone to play CLARA Watson.


SCRIPT: DEADLY ENVY

CAST:
Richard Parker as JOE Watson

Jakki Elliot as SARAH Daniels

Monique Fearon as CAPTOR

Karishma Halai as CLARA Watson

Shakira Watson as ALICE Watson


INT. OFFICE

(Very gentle background music – Piano solo)

There are two desks side by side and a computer on each. There is a swivel chair tucked under SARAH’s desk, which is neat and tidy with only a few papers out of place. SARAH’s desk has a feminine item to indicate that the desk is a female’s, possibly a pink pencil case or pencil/pen. JOE’s desk is fairly tidy with a few papers out of place and some post-it notes on the bottom of his screen. Next to JOE’s computer monitor there is a school photo of his daughter Clara, which the audience can see.

JOE Watson is sitting at his desk, staring intently at the computer screen. The scene changes, and we focus on what is being shown on the PC monitor.


EXT. DARK ALLEY/ INT. DARK ROOM

(no music) Dark room/alley is fairly empty and spacious, across the room/space in the centre CLARA is sat down on the floor in clear view, with her arms and feet tied together. ALICE is bound as well as gagged, and is sitting in a dark corner in the shadows. We can’t see her face.

The CAPTOR walks slowly towards CLARA, who is struggling against her bindings. The audience hear ALICE whimpering loudly, in horror and fearing for her daughter’s life. CAPTOR comes to a halt before CLARA, and we see the knife she has in her hand. The CAPTOR then slowly bends before CLARA bringing herself to a point just above CLARA’s head. The knife hand extends, towards CLARA while she looks desperate and whimpers.

CLARA: Please. Don’t. Please.

(We can hear ALICE whimpering through her gag in the background)

It seems like CLARA knows the CAPTOR, or recognizes them. She silently begs for mercy. The CAPTOR places the knife, point-forward, gently to CLARA’s cheek. We see a tear roll down CLARA’s cheek.

BLACKOUT


INT. OFFICE

(no music)

JOE is in tears, fixedly watching the screen in disbelief. SARAH’s hands slip over his shoulders in an attempt to reassure him. Standing behind him she looks anxiously at the computer screen and then back down at JOE, also in apparent disbelief.

SARAH: Joe…

JOE shoves the chair back, now extremely angry, and shoves SARAH away, unfocused on his surroundings. He storms out of the room. SARAH watches him leave, expressionless, and the door slams shut.
