All of our evaluation questions were answered as a group. All of us had equal part in contribution to the final answers to all questions. We all have acquired a new set of skills which we did not possess before starting the preparation for filming as well post production. For example I have taught my team mates about framing and the significance of mise-en-scene for our final production which allowed us to jointly discuss what we needed to have in the scenes to portray a certain atmosphere. Also I have learnt about editing software, which I was unable to use before but now I can comfortably edit videos. This shows that through learning from each other we were able to equally participate in answering all of the question, however we have done them on each other's accounts.

Titles

These are our opening titles.
The font used for the names of people is Face Your Fears and the font colour is red. We have used this font because it resembles blood (which is often linked to slasher films) that has been used to write the individual letters, this is also why we have used the colour red to make the audience more aware of that. 

The font that is used for the movie title is Agency FB, we have used this because it looks modern which shows that the movie is based in the current time. This then gives the feel of the film being more dangerous since the protagonist is not able to save herself even living in the highly technology based society where it is very easy to call for help.





 
 
 




Synopsis #2

Alice is having another movie night in the safety of her home but what she doesn't know is that her past would come and haunt her. It starts with a phone call that she does not pay much attention to and after receiving a second phone call she realizes that it might be her last one.

Alice's ex-boyfriend Nathan seems to not be able to let go of the relationship so easily and what he ends up doing is calling up Alice and letting her know that he's watching her and he might give her a visit any time.

After the crazy phone call ends, Alice being completely shocked calls her friend Jess to come and get her since she is terrified to stay alone. Once her friend takes Alice she decides that it'll be better not to return to her home until her family is back from their trip.

After days of Alice going through events where her friends die in front of her, she finally faces Nathan, after her trying to escape by fighting him, he stabs her unexpectedly and ends up killing her and surviving himself.

Costume Changes

We changed the hair and decided to have it down because it made her look more chaotic and less put together. It also looked better in the close up shots.
In the end we decided not to have the slippers on because that way it made her look even more vulnerable and also give the imagery to the audience that she felt cold which would parallel with her feeling cold because she is scared.

Final Costume #2




We chose a tank top to show off Alice's and make her look vulnerable. We chose it to be white to portray that she is the good character and that she is innocent. We chose her to wear Shorts to further portray that that she is vulnerable. She is wearing 'ugg' type slippers to show that she is comfortable in her home and to give the audience something to relate to in a sense that she is wearing something mismatched to the rest of her outfit. She has her hair in a but to show that she does not really care about her appearance and that she just likes to throw her hair up and get it out of her face.
