Final Opening Sequence of Tripwire

Edit Notes

These were my notes that I made of every shot I did, and I commented on each one that I used in my book as I used this sheet as a quick run through of shots I didn't think worked due to lighting, sound or camera angle which helped me to quickly and thoroughly eliminate anything that I didn't want allowing me to focus solely on the shots that worked well for the overall image I was trying to achieve.

Location Shots

The location was my grandad's house, who actually stars in the film; William Watson. We did not need permission to do filming at his house, he offered me to do it there. Here are some photos of us on set.

William Watson Audition Tape and Notes on Actor

William showed dedication in his audition, he came to audition dressed the part. He was confident and got into the role quickly. Although the last line in the audition was said wrong and slightly out of character, I decided William would be well suited for the role.

William comes across as the typical frail older man, however he also has the glare of the kind of man I was trying to portray for the film, I got him to wear dark clothing, such as the dark jumper he is wearing, dark jeans and walking shoes, all of his clothes were a bit scruffy showing the audience he was one to get involved in the messy side of things and that he is happy to get his hands dirty when needs be. He also wears a red top beneath his jumper connoting a passion for danger. I like the fact he can come across quite innocent to passers by, however in the film can be made to come across so sinister. I think the clothes I chose for him combined with his height and look gave the perfect outcome for the person I wanted the audience to see.
