Filming

I am finally ready for filming, which I will do this weekend on the 29th and 30th of August. Unfortunately, due to complications with actors not contacting me back (after numerous attempts), and not being able to find a house to film at, there has been a slight changed in plan. Firstly I will use 5 actors, my dad will be the main character, with mum, my little brother, and another couple filling extra roles. I will film over two days, in two locations. On Saturday I will film all the inside scenes within my own house. On Sunday i will film the outside scenes in Richmond, with the couple who are acting as extra's. I have also refined the storyline slightly to add suspense, structure and purpose. The film will now feature no diegetic sound, as this will add to the loneliness within Steven. The only sound will be music, and voice over dialogue from Steven which will show his thoughts and also that he is alone. The storyline has changed slightly and now goes ruffly like this:
- Steven is sitting on the bath writing in the card, ticking clock on the wall
- He climbs in the bath
- Flashback to a scene of a women breaking up with him (silent argument)
- Steven in bath, voice over of his thoughts, clock ticking
- Flashback to scene of Steven almost getting hit by a car
- Steven sinks below the water, eyes open, clock ticking, voice over of his thoughts
- Flashback to man bumping into Steven in the street
- Shot of Steven underwater, voice over of his thoughts
- Clock hits midnight, Stevens eyes snap shut
- Flashback to boy running up to him handing him his wallet, Steven walking down the street
- Steven rises out of the water, crying into his hands
- Screen fades to black, end quote: "its the big things that destroy lives, but the little things that save them"
