The Script Part 3

Harry has now searched around the whole house and cant find anything. 

Now being re-assured he turns up his music which goes from non diagetic to diagetic. And then sits around going what ever. 

Mean while out side the random girl is still staring at the window with no emotion or expression. 

Why is she there? we don't know? 

after a few minutes of harry enjoying him self there is a knock on the door! 

As he goes to the door he see's a random girl 'Harriet' staring through the door window at him. 

Harry gets scared and slams the inner door and runs to the lounge! 

'what the hell was that, surly its just mums friend or something?'

He goes to the door and lets the person in, she just stands in the door and stares forward. 

Harry : 'what are you doing here? I recognise you, iv seen you before? you must be one of my mums friends or something???????............Well are you? 

there is no response! 

Harry goes up to the bath room to reassure him self that nothing happened! As he brings a hand full of water up to his face he looks into the mirror! 

BANG! The strange girl is stood there slightly blured! 

then you are left on a cliff hanger.

Sound Effects

Using  a HD Voice recorder I was able to make some sounds which will fit into my film.
The main sounds i recorded was doors slamming and whispering.
This meant the full effect of the sound could be used with out getting muffled or not sounding correctly.
Both clips last for 2 seconds which are very realistic and fit very well to the activity happening in the house.

The Script - Part 2

After Harry goes down stairs to look around he wonders back up stairs to find the dream catcher back up on the Velux window ledge..............

'I dont feel too good' 

He then faints and hits his head on the edge of a table.

When he wakes up later on he doesn't know whats happened and walks around up stairs trying to bring back his memory, he remains puzzled and doesn't know whats happening. 

The Script - Part 1

Harry has come home from a hard day at school, he has had a boring day and just wanted to get in to his house. The parents are away for a couple of days meaning Harry could do everything he wanted apart from the thing he wanted most which was a house party.

Walking to the front door and opening-

'Thank god schools over, but im home alone.... wait? Why am I talking to my self?'

Puts his bag down and walks up stairs to his room- knocking over a mug when he opens the door!

'OMG! That stupid dream catcher, always catching my eye when i walk through this bloody door! It dont do anything anyway, i'm 16......I dont get scared of anything!

Harry grabs the dream catcher of the wall, he starts to cut the feathers off.

'Stupid piece of waste....who believes in that paranormal stuff anyway?'

As Harry cuts into one of the feathers he hears a massive scream coming from down stairs.

'WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!!!!!!!!

He starts whispering to his self as he walks down the stairs.

'ohh crap,oh god,oh no no no no no'

As he searches around the house there is nothing to be seen?
He walks back up stairs still shaking from whats happened- then the bedroom door slams!
Sprinting to the room and opening the door he finds the dream catcher on fire!

30 Degree Rule

30 Degree rule in media movie making!


The 30° rule is a basic film editing guideline that states the camera should move at least 30° between shots of the same subject occurring in succession. This change of perspective makes the shots different enough to avoid a jump cut. Too much movement around the subject may violate the 180° rule.

Blair Witch Project Trailer

This is an analysis which uses similar camera work as what i want to put in my film! lots of shakey and rushed shots give it a good life like effect which i think will work very well in my film
