Decisions and Revisions.• While we were making draft two, we came across a

problem that we would face – this was the filming of the curtains opening.

• We decided not to do this, as when the curtains opened quickly, too much light flooded into the room which affected the lens of the camera.

• Also, originally we wanted to have a gust of wind blow papers from our character’s desk. This proved too hard to film as we didn’t have a powerful enough electrical fan.

Decisions and Revisions.• Another decision we had to make whilst filming was

the idea of a shadow figure being seen in the character’s laptop.

• We couldn’t do this as the laptop couldn’t be switched off any other way than manually.

• To combat this, we reverted back to the initial idea of the shadow being seen in the television.

New Idea. (for draft four) • Drew is at her desk uploading posts onto her blog, when suddenly the door

opens, she gets up to close it but it opens again only violently this time.

• She shuts the door frightened. The TV turns on by itself and drew grabs her camera to document this. She tries to pull out the plug but it wont switch off.

• She turns it off at the switch and sees a shadow in the screen reflection. She turns to capture this but there’s nothing there.

• Suddenly her closet doors start violently banging, scaring Drew. She turns to record this and starts getting closer to the closet.

• She reaches out her hand and quickly opens the door to find nothing but clothes. As she searches the closet something mysterious comes up behind her. She turns slowly a gasps at what she see.

New Storyboard.

New Script.

New Script.

Transitions and special effects.

• For draft three, we want to use cross dissolve over the text, so it flows nicely.

• We have also considered using a special effect for the video camera when the character records herself.

•

Changes in character and mise en scene.• For draft three, we want to make our character look more nerdy.

• We will accomplish this by using large oversized glasses, and a simpler costume that makes her look even less confident than in the first and second drafts.

Titles.• After making draft two, we realised that the titles on a

black screen didn’t work as well as we initially thought it would.

• It made the opening sequence too disjointed and wasn’t appropriate for the type of opening sequence that we wanted to make as we had a linear narrative.

• For draft three, we want to put our titles on screen alongside our footage. This will work better as it won’t break away from what is happening.
