Scene 3
The camera is back in the living room with Simon sitting on the sofa. He is nervously looking around the room, showing obvious signs of discomfort. As he frantically looks around the room, he attempts to look for his phone, there is a loud bang against the window. Simon immediately stands up, and half falls back on the sofa. As he gets up, the camera will pan across Simons face as he turns his head.
As he stumbles up to the window and slides across the curtain, I will show a shot at the window from the outside, where another silhouette will flash by the camera. As Simon steps back in shock, the door of the room will slam shut, followed by running footsteps.
The camera shows Tom between the kitchen and the living room spinning round in circles on the spot. The camera is down by his feet spinning round with him, looking up at his face, this is to try and let the audience share the characters experience.
There is a loud bang, at which point the camera switches Will in his room.
The camera is close to his face, slightly to the right and just above head height. His face will look distressed as he peers directly past the camera toward the door.
The camera switches back to Simon in the living room. He is stood close to the window, the lighting in the room has been lifted and the mood of the film has lightened. Still with a confused look on his face he stands for a moment with an obvious question on his mind. Tom then enters room, still with a distressed look on his face, followed by Will who also has a bewildered look on his face.
The camera then switches between the three boys as they talk about their experience.
The screen then goes black, and then from far out will zoom into tom who has just done another line of ketamine and goes into the back of his chair. The camera will zoom right up close to Tom’s eye for the final shot. This shot will be sped up to display the drugs entering Tom’s body

Shot List
Scene 2.
The mood of the movie has now changed. As the camera follows Tom out of the room, the lighting is now not so bright, and the camera is slightly lower down to give the viewer the impression of how Toms feeling.
Tom enters the hall way and begins to look around the room. At some points he will half smile, others almost look afraid. As he begins walking slowly toward the unlit kitchen a shadow moves behind it, but he doesn’t notice. He continues into the kitchen and without entering the room puts his arm round the wall attempting to find the light switch. After grasping the wall for several seconds he finally finds the switch, and turns the light on.
As the light comes on, Tom half takes a step back from the sharpness of the light. He walks over to the kitchen sink as he looks around for a glass, he looks out of the window in front of the sink.
I will then show a shot from outside of the kitchen looking in at Tom looking through the window.
Then the camera will switch back inside and I will have an over the shoulder shot of Tom looking through the window.
A silhouette of a person flashes past the window, tom jumps back in shock. A shadow moves behind tom along the wall, this time Tom notices it and turns around in panic. The shots of tom will all be from afar to emphasize how distant from reality he is and how distant he feels from all the objects in the room, i.e doors and chairs.
As tom struggles to walk properly into the living room, he is swaying from side to side and has no sense of balance.
At this point I will try and re-create the effects in Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, when Tommy has just lost a game of poker and is walking away from the building. This will hopefully give the audience an effect of nausea, and so they can almost share Toms experience.

Lock Stock Scene
At the end of this scene when Tommy leaves the poker table, this is the effect I am going to use in my second scene when Tom is leaving the kitchen. This is to give the viewer an experience similar to Toms.

Shot List - Scene 1
Shot list.
Scene 1.
The three boys are in the living room of their student house. Simon and Tom are sat on the sofas while Will is standing close to the door, not appearing to share Tom and Simons excitement and enthusiasm. The camera only has Simon and Tom in the picture, and the camera will switch between Tom and Simon during their conversation. The camera will also zoom in on Will when he says his line in the opening scene.
The camera will then focus on Tom as he begins to roll a joint and get all of the necessary items together. The camera will then show Simon as he moves to the floor to put some music on through the stereo. The camera will switch between the two during the conversation and I will use an over the shoulder shot of Simon while he is on the floor changing tracks on his ipod..
The camera stays on Tom while he begins to roll a joint, Simon is still on the floor, flicking through music. He then looks to his side and pans up the wall toward the ceiling.
This is when the lights will dim in the room, and I will show a close up of Toms face as he scans across the room, so the user can get an idea of how Tom is feeling. I will also use visual effects to give the user a haunting feeling.
The camera will show Simon as he puts his hand to his head, and looks at Tom as if he were looking straight through him. I will show this shot from behind Tom, so that you can see Tom pause while he rolls the joint then looks up at Simon.
The camera will switch between the two during the conversation to show their facial expressions.
The camera will then focus on Tom as he searches for his tobacco to continue what he was doing.
As he does this, the camera pans out and shows that Will is no longer in the room.
Simon then asks Tom where Wills gone and the camera shows tom look up from what he is doing, and show the suprise on his face when he notices Will is no longer in the room.
Both boys look at each other in a paused state. Silently questioning who was going to see if he was alright.
The camera will switch between the two while they discuss how they are feeling, this will include a shot of the two talking through the window to give the user an indication of someone watching them

Scene 1
The three boys are in the living room of their student house. Simon and Tom are sat on the sofas while Will is standing close to the door, not appearing to share Tom and Simons excitement and enthusiasm. The camera only has Simon and Tom in the picture.
Simon - How are you feeling?
Tom - Yea alright, feeling a bit weird and I’ve got a horrible taste in the back of my throat.
Both boys without looking behind them at the door ask Will,
Tom - How about you Will? What you sayin’?
Will - Yea just a bit clouded
Simon - Yea should probably put some music on, it’s a bit quiet in here
Tom - Yea sort that out, do either of you have any king skins, I’ll skin up.
Simon is now knelt on the floor picking music from his ipod.
Simon - Yea man, look in my coat pocket next to you, they’re in there.
Tom - Nice one.
The camera stays on Tom while he begins to roll a joint, Simon is still on the floor, flicking through music. He then looks to his side and pans up the wall toward the ceiling.
Tom - What’s up with your walls, I swear they’re not completely straight.....what are you doing with that music anyway, leave it alone
Simon - Yea Yea just setting up a play list.
Simon gets up, with a slight stumble back
Simon - “Woah, what the hells going on?”
Simon puts his hand to his head, and looks at Tom as if he were looking straight through him.
Tom pauses what he’s doing, but continues to look at it for a few seconds. He then looks up at Simon who is still aimlessly staring at him and with a small smile on his face says,
Tom - “Wait, what are you on about?”
Simon - “Nah nothing, what was I doing again?”
Tom - “I have no idea what your going on about”
Tom picks up his tobacco pouch to continue what he was doing.
Simon begins having a look around and the sofa catches his eye, as he goes to sit down he notices Will has left the room.
Simon - “Where the hells will gone?”
Tom, who is struggling with even beginning to roll a joint looks up toward the door in confussion.
Tom - “I have no idea, I didn’t even notice him leave the room. He’s probably pranging out in the kitchen”
Both boys look at each other in a paused state. Silently questioning who was going to see if he was alright.
Tom - “I’ll go and look for him in a sec, I need to get some more filter material anyway, I’m having a bit of a nightmare over here with my head in this state”
Simon is sat on the sofa with his head resting on his hands, slightly swaying.
Simon - “Yea tell me about it, I don’t really know what to do with myself”
Tom begins to aimlessly look around the room, and with a puzzled look on his face says
Tom - “Jesus, where the hell is that kid? I’m going to go have a look for him”
Tom stands up and also slightly stumbles, then looks at Simon in confussion and says
Tom - “Well this is going to be an interesting walk, I’m going to go and see what Wills playing at”
Simon - “Yea, bring me in a drink as well. I need to get rid of this taste”
Tom - “Yea I’ll try and remember, I’ve already forgotten what I was going in there for.........
Tom looks at the wall in the confussion for 3-4 seconds. The audience can almost see the cogs turning inside Toms head.
Tom - “Oh yeah, I was going to see where Will was”
Tom walks toward the door, and as he leaves the room he stops and turns to face Simon with a confused face. Simon notices Tom has stopped by the door and looks up at him in just as much confusion. Tom begins to shake his head in disbelief at this state. He then leaves the room.

While squinting he says:
Tom - “What the fuck?”
A silhouette of a person flashes past the window, tom jumps back in shock. A shadow moves behind tom along the wall, this time Tom notices it and turns around in panic.

Will - “yeh it made me prang out in my room for a while, I even had to go outside for some fresh air”
Simon - “I was in here on my own the whole time, I didn’t know what to do with myself”

Character Study
Character Study.
Tom - Tom is a 19 year old student from just outside Birmingham. He is a confident guy, who makes friends easily. He has never tried drugs before, but is always willing to try new things, although he is a regular marijuana user. He is a fairly laid back individual who listens to hip hop which is his main bond with the other two characters. He is from a fairly well off background ground and is the joker of the group. Tom considers himself to be better friends with Simon than Will, and this is emphasized in my film.
Will - Will is the odd one out of the group. He is from a small town south of London. Smoking marijuana is his main bond with the other two in the group. He is a bit more cautious about experimenting with drugs and new situations. Will is obviously more nervous about trying ketamine than the other two, and my film will reflect this. This is why Will is finds the experience not as enjoyable as the other two. Will represents the more sensible side of three, which is the reason for him being the odd one out of the group. Will is more mainstream than the other two and listens to indie music as well as hip hop, and this represents the way he dresses and his slight difference from the other two.
Simon - Simon is a similar character to Will. He is outgoing and confident and is willing to experiment with new things, although he is unsure of how this experience will turn out. He also feels a stronger bond with Tom than will. Simon is from London and also listens to hip hop, he has tried other drugs before, but became interested in ketamine when he came to University and heard about lots of other people trying it for the first time, and wanted to see what the hype was about.

Triptease
Triptease is going to be a film about a group of three friends who decide to stay in for a night and try taking a new drug which has been recommended to them by another friend.
The situation will take a turn for the worse when the group of boys start to be unsure of how much the drug is affecting them. I want to create a twist in the film, and not give any indication of any drugs being involved until the last scene.
The opening scene will be the three friends back at their house after just meeting their friend to collect the substance, and have just taken their first dose. The will be slight references to where they have just been, to give the viewer a slight hint to what is going on. After the friends sit down and have a cigarette they notice one of the group has left the room. The two boys that are left in the room start questioning one another how each other is feeling. Both are unsure of how much the drug is affecting them, but both are aware of a change of lighting and how the perspective of the room has changed.
One of them decides to go and see where their friend is which is when the drug really starts to take effect. The lighting in the house will change to quite dim, and I will use lower down camera shots to emphasise the confusion. I will also use shadow effects behind the characters to endure fear into both the character and the viewer.
I will switch between these two characters and show their experiences on the drug. The story of the third member of the group will begun to unfold. As he begins to sober up he realises he is outside, and re-enters the house to find one of his friends on the sofa with this head in his hands, and the other aimlessly walking round the living room.
The mood of the film will lighten at this point as the effects of the drug start to wear off. The two boys will then walk into the living room to find their other friend beginning to sober up.
After all in a state of shock and in confusion, the characters will all look at each other in disbelief, this is when I will show the user that it was all a drug trip, when one of the character will mention the name of the drug and ask if they want anymore.

Zombie Diaries
This was obviously a low budget UK production, producted written and edited by Michael Bartlett which is only film to date. I quite enjoyed the whole idea of this film, as it was a collection of videos diaries from people during the outbreak of the virus. The main thing that let this film down was the acting, which due to the low budget was obviously pretty amatuer. It was similar to the filming of blair witch project and cloverfield in the respect it was all done on a camcorder. It had quite a dark storyline which made up for the lack of acting quality and so it was still bareable to watch.
In Bruges
This is an awesome film. It had a really good dialect and thought the casting was really good as well. I really enjoyed the roles played by colin farrell and ralph fiennes. The film contained good wity humour and also some pretty violent scenes, which definatly made it a hit
Jumper
This was probably the worst film i have ever seen. It had no real storyline and never really explained what was going on, i was never sure of what age group this film was aimed at either. Going by the rough outline of a story, i'd say aimed at anyone under 10.

Back From New York
I have finally returned from New York and am ready to start my second semester. Unfortunatly I havn't really had a chance to use the internet properlly due to being in a hotel for a couple of weeks, then spending the last 10 days of my trip in my friends apartment in Brooklyn, which was an experience.
While i was in new york my family insisted we took a trip to broadway to watch the theatre production Wicked. I am not usually the biggest fan of musicals, however this one i actually quite enjoyed. The thing i found most impressive was the use of props and the actual design of the stage. It is a prequal to the wizard of oz, and explains the story of the witches.
