What Has Poured From The Pores Of Inspiration So Far (Will Price)

Obviously, i shall need Jamie's in-put on this stuff, however i reckon that what i have thus far is fairly good so as he knows what the film is going to be about i shall outline my various random thoughts so far.

Sound:

So far i dont see much use of music during the film so i propose just 2 bits of non diegetic sound in the form of opening music and closing music in fact, i'm not particularly sure that we need any opening music either. For the closing music however it needs to either be hopeful or somber. I have recently learned however that unless you can get permission to use it you cant actually use copyrighted material as non-diegetic sound, hence i am in a bit of a tight spot as neither of us have any sort of composing ability what-so-ever, however according to Marion, you can possibly get around it by using it as diegetic sound, say from a radio or something, but its a bit of a grey area. This is something we would have to discuss but if we were daring enough to try such a thing then i would be inclined to fade it out to either Ode To Joy, Stand By Me or What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted on the radio. Tad risky though, however the music of Beethoven is in the public domain and is thus allowed to be used to so long as dear old Ludwig himself is credited.

Editing:

There is one very important point about editing that i am rather keen to mimic heavily, this film will probably contain flashbacks. Which are very hard to do convincingly, hence i am going to try and look into how they effect the flashbacks on CSI, that sort of unclear and blurred swoosh that makes sure you cant really see that much but cleverly allows you to get the general gist of whats just happened. Looks like the saturation has been messed about with as has the frame rate, not sure if we would be able to do that, but the only thing we can really do is wait until we've filmed it and see what we can play around with.

Setting:

We are indeed blessed with friends in this case as my sister happens to be a possession of the most ultimate house to film this in. Luckily the entire film will be set in the same place, so there isn't any need to go trekking all over the country for a few shots like the last film. We are also equally blessed when it comes to setting up said house for filming as being teenagers we are masters of the bottle, currently keeping every single can and bottle i get through between now and then will most certainly help setting up the house for filming the morning after where the house will inevitably look like a bull with an atom bomb has had a fight with Donkey Kong with a cylinder of napalm strapped to every barrel he throws, we will also need to make pretty much everything slightly askew, so we may need help for some of the messing up but we plan on shooting . For the actual night however all we need to really do is put a couple of decorations up saying things like 'happy anniversary' and make sure that no pictures that shouldn't are hanging in awkward places. We plan to basically film the flashback's first the night before we start filming the next morning, we have a set time for the filming so as to try and catch the right light in the bedroom without the use of red heads, other than that the rest of the house is pretty much under cover away from the light, thus the use of lights wont really be necessary for most of the filming.
