Soundtrack Analysis
The first scene I chose was from one of my favorite films 'Oldboy' (2003) directed
The second scene I choose was from a film called 'Brazil' (1985) directed by Terry Gilliam. I choose this film as its known for its sound. I choose the scene where 'Sam Lowry' (Jonathan Pryce) goes to visit his mother as she keeps tampering with his job making sure he gets a promotion. The scene shows his mother receiving plastic surgery in a very surreal way. The scene similar to 'Oldboy' they used stringed instruments to emphasis the odd scene. The dialogue is however louder than the music because there is more dialect in this scene. within this scene you can also hear the sound of the water feature in the center of the room. There is no Foley of FX used in this scene as its not needed.
Scene- Brazil - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bnx95KyQEAA&feature=player_embedded
by Chan-wook Park. The scene involves a huge fight between a group of thugs and one man. The music behind the scene is a soft melody of stringed instruments. The film did that to contrast the violent scene with the soft music. The music is slightly louder than the ambiance of the scene but we can still hear the grunts of the men. The dialogue is limited as the scene is more to do with the fight , the film is a Korean film as all the speech is in Hangul which in some cases fits with the soft music. There is some Foley in the last 15 seconds of the scene where you see 'Oh Dae-su' (Choi min-sik) walking out of the car park, his foot steps hitting on the concrete ground becomes very dominate with the non-music scene.

Single camera - The 26th day
Evaluation
Looking back at the final product I can say I was quite surprised with the turn-out as we did run out of time and didn't realise the length of the video was supposed to be the maximum of 5 minutes. Knowing that we had to cut the video down a lot. And instead of ending the film we left the story with a cliff hanger cutting of the 5th scene.
My role in the film was make-up and an actor. Overall I was not happy with my performance or make-up. Because I felt like I could have done better with the FX as I've used it before and I felt I could have done better. However when it comes to acting i've never done it before and I'm not comfortable infront of a camera.Subsequently I felt like I let down the film a bit because of my mistakes.
Looking at peer feedback there is a mixture of negative and positive feedback. We received positive feedback on our frame work , editing, special effects, music and the camera motion. Our negative was on lighting ( outside) and character realism. But in defence when filming the outside footage we were experiencing some weather problems and it changed dramatically from dark clouds and rain to sun.
As a team I think we worked very well together as we managed to film and complete the product and still manage to have fun.I would say the most impressive part of the video was the filming as I found it very slick and flowing with the narrative at the same time. The negative point I would say is the cliff hanger as I felt like the whole story would have been a great short film but unfortunately we didn't have the time to complete filming or even present it as our maximum was 5 minutes.

WOW- news corp
BBC news a British company from the ‘British Broadcasting
Company’. The show was developed to inform their viewers on what is happening
around the world and current affairs in Britain. The company has millions of customer’s
everyday as the British consume all forms of the BBC every day.
The news corporation’s obvious parent is the BBC as the company
owns the main channels in Britain. The founder of the BBC was ‘Sir John Reith’,
but in charge of news since 2004 is ‘Helen Boaden’.
BBC news has been around since 1934. The public relied on
newspapers and radio stations in the 1900’s as it was their only form of news.
But then the BBC created news on the television so that the viewers can see and
hear about the world. Also this helped the British understand WW2 more as
presenters were able to show and inform the British about what was going on.
The BBC news produces over 120 hours of radio and television
news each day, as well as online coverage. The company has sustained 44 foreign
news bureaux and has corresponded in almost every country.
The company owns many broadcasting buildings wide spread over
England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The budget over the whole department is annually £350
million. With 3,500 staff ( 2,000 are journalists ) the company is nowhere at
lost. The company is seen online,
newspapers and advertised on radio stations owned by the BBC.

Josh and Brydie continue to argue in the background
Isabel
Yeah I'm fine
Thomas
Good!

Scene 2
INT. THE 26TH DAY
After the first scene some time has passed, but it is clearly the same day.
The group are in the same room all hanging about. They seem bored. Thomas is by the window and is looking out of it, clearly distracted from reading his book. Isabel is sitting alone and Josh and Brydie are sitting near each other.
Josh
I'm bored
Brydie
We're all bored
Josh
How long's it been now?
Brydie
Err, I think they said 26 days
Josh
Jheeze really? It feels longer
Brydie
I know, we haven't been out in weeks.
Josh
*noticing Isabel alone in the corner* She's acting weird, what's up with her?
Brydie
Well she hasn't seen her family in ages, we're having to ration our food and we've been stuck in the same stupid room for what feels like a billion days, maybe that's what's bugging her
Josh
Yeah well we're all in the same situation and you don't see me sulking about it
Brydie
Look just leave her, it's hard for all us but we just take it in different ways
Josh
Whatever
Thomas is looking out of the window when he sees something in the bush. He then realises it's a zombie lying on the floor.
Thomas
Hey don't panic
Brydie
Why what's happened?
Josh
Have we ran out of beans?
Brydie nudges him
Thomas
I think there's a person out there
Josh
Ah let's see!
Josh rushes to the window and pulls back the curtains and cardboard, causing light to pour in. The group squint at the sight of it.
Isabel
What's happening?
Josh
There's a zombie out there
Thomas
Don't use that word!
Brydie
I think it's dead
Thomas
I don't know
Thomas walks away from the window
Thomas
Guys we have to go, I don't think it's safe to stay here
Brydie
You serious?
Josh
Don't be such a drama queen. We just need to check if it's dead that's all
Thomas
Oh yeah and how are we gonna do that?
Josh
We can poke it or something? I don't mind going outside
Brydie
For once I think Josh may be right. How you gonna do it?
Josh
I'll just get a stick from outside and give it a nudge, and if it don't move then the zombie is obviously dead
Brydie
They're not zombies they're people with cerebrum Mortius Syndrome
Josh
Yeah, or zombies. Anyway I'll go out on my own I don't need anyone with me
Brydie
No we'll all go, because if one of us gets hurt then we're all in danger
Thomas
We're not going outside!!
Thomas' sudden outburst shocks the group and usually he's calm and content.
Josh
Wowa calm down man, if you don't wanna go that's fine, we all know you're a bit, well you know
Thomas
A bit what?
Josh
A bit of a coward
Thomas
Oh I'm the coward? I'm the one who rescued you when you were nearly bitten and everyone abandoned you. If I knew you were such a prick I wouldn't of bothered.
Josh pushes Thomas and they start pushing each other, Brydie intervenes
Brydie
Guys stop! It's us verses them if we start fighting we might as well give up!
Thomas and Josh calm down but don't apologise.
Brydie
Now are we going outside?
Josh
I think we should
Brydie - to Isabel-
Isabel?
Isabel
What?
Brydie
Do you think we should go out?
Isabel
Er yeah sure
Brydie
Cool, Thomas?
Thomas
Yeah fine
Brydie
Okay good
-End of Scene-
Scene 3
EXT. THE 26th DAY
The four stand outside, opposite the person who they think is dead and infected. Josh is first to approach the man.
Josh
Oi someone pass us a stick
Thomas finds a stick and hands it to Josh from a distance.
Brydie
So you're just gonna poke it?
Josh
Yeah
Josh approaches the man but before he goes to poke it he steps back
Josh
I dunno maybe I should throw something at it first, just in case
Thomas
I agree, I think there's stones over there
Isabel
But what if it is alive? Then it's just cruel
Josh
Shut up Isabel, it's infected anyway so it basically is dead. And when did you start having an opinion
Isabel
What do you mean?
Josh
You've barely said anything for days now, sulking away in the corner, we're getting sick of your attention seeking now so you can cut it out
Isabel looks hurt from what Josh has said and is trying to find words to come back with, but then Brydie steps in
Brydie
Josh shut up Isabel has been through a lot, we all have, just leave her
Josh
Tell someone who cares
Thomas
I've got stones...are we still gonna throw them..?
Josh snatches the stones from Thomas' hand
Josh
Of course we are
Josh leans back as he throws a stone at the person. Isabel winces as he's doing so. Nothing happens. Josh looks around the group and they all shrug, so he throws some more.
Josh
Guess it's dead then
Josh reaches for the stick from earlier and proceeds to poke the poke.
Josh
Aha it's definitely dead look!
Josh repeatedly pokes the person
Isabel
Stop!
Josh
Why this is fun!
Isabel
It's alive okay!
Thomas
How do you know?
Isabel hesitates to answer
Isabel
I..don't know
Brydie
C'mon let's go back inside
Josh is still poking the person, then kicks it. Josh starts laughing but then the person slowly turns over to face Josh. Josh steps back in disbelief. The others have already started to walk away before this has happened.
Josh
Guys...
Brydie
What now?
Josh
I think it's alive
The others quickly turn to face the person. The person is moving slowly and grabs the ground to get up
Thomas
Okay everyone stay calm, we need to go back inside, lock the doors again and we'll be safe
Thomas says talking slowly and calmly but is clearly scared.
Josh suddenly runs to the other side of the garden, making everyone jump. The person, who is still moving relatively slowly, is now on his feet, but is staying still.
Brydie
Josh no!
Thomas
What are you doing we need to get iside!
Josh is banging on the shed door to try and break it open, but it's not budging. The person is now walking towards the group. Brydie and Isabel stay back but Thomas, who is watching the shed doesn't notice and the person pulls him to the ground. The person is trying to bite Thomas but he keeps it's head at an arms length, but is clearly struggling.
Thomas
Help me!
Brydie
Just hold on!
Brydie runs to the shed where Josh is and together they bash the door.
Thomas
Hurry up!
Brydie and Josh continue to bash the door but still nothing happens. Thomas looks like he's going to give up but at one last push he looks to Isabel
Thomas
Isabel do something!
Isabel runs over to Thomas' aid, but still the person is trying to bite him. Isabel tries to push the person off but nothing happens.Josh and Brydie finally break down the shed door and scramble iside to get tools. Thomas' arm which was holding up the person, stopping it from biting him, bends and the person is about to bite him.

Isabel
It's alive okay!
Thomas
How do you know?
Isabel hesitates to answer
Isabel
I..don't know
Brydie
C'mon let's go back inside
Josh is still poking the person, then kicks it. Josh starts laughing but then the person slowly turns over to face Josh. Josh steps back in disbelief. The others have already started to walk away before this has happened.
Josh
Guys...
Brydie
What now?
Josh
I think it's alive
The others quickly turn to face the person. The person is moving slowly and grabs the ground to get up
Thomas
Okay everyone stay calm, we need to go back inside, lock the doors again and we'll be safe
Thomas says talking slowly and calmly but is clearly scared.
Josh suddenly runs to the other side of the garden, making everyone jump. The person, who is still moving relatively slowly, is now on his feet, but is staying still.
Brydie
Josh no!
Thomas
What are you doing we need to get iside!
Josh is banging on the shed door to try and break it open, but it's not budging. The person is now walking towards the group. Brydie and Isabel stay back but Thomas, who is watching the shed doesn't notice and the person pulls him to the ground. The person is trying to bite Thomas but he keeps it's head at an arms length, but is clearly struggling.
Thomas
Help me!
Brydie
Just hold on!
Brydie runs to the shed where Josh is and together they bash the door.
Thomas
Hurry up!
Brydie and Josh continue to bash the door but still nothing happens. Thomas looks like he's going to give up but at one last push he looks to Isabel
Thomas
Isabel do something!
Isabel runs over to Thomas' aid, but still the person is trying to bite him. Isabel tries to push the person off but nothing happens.Josh and Brydie finally break down the shed door and scramble iside to get tools. Thomas' arm which was holding up the person, stopping it from biting him, bends and the person is about to bite him.
Isabel
No stop!!
The person immediately stops and it's head slowly turns to look at Isabel. Thomas takes this opportunity to push the person off him and quickly steps back from it. Isabel is still looking at the person. Josh and Brydie, now armed with garden tools run to the person and turn him over, so his head is facing the ground.
Josh
Now?
Brydie
Now!
They both start bashing the person with the garden tools. After a few moments they stop and look at the thing they just killed. Thomas and Isabel are looking distressed.
Brydie
So I guess it wasn't dead

The four are back inside, Josh and Brydie are splattered in blood and all of them are staring into space looking slightly traumatised
Brydie (to Josh)
Hey you've got something on your face
Josh glares at Brydie
Brydie
Okay clearly not a good time for jokes, anyway I'm gonna wash my face n stuff
Brydie goes out the room
Thomas
Hey Josh
Josh
What?
Thomas
Thanks for saving me
Josh (making a reference to their argument before)
If I knew were gonna be such a prick I wouldn't have bothered
Thomas
Aha... yeah sorry about that, I didn't mean it
Josh
It's fine, and I guess I'm sorry too, you know it's hard being stuck in here all day
Thomas
Yeah, so we're cool?
Josh
Yeah
Thomas
Hey Isabel you alright?
Isabel
Yeah
Thomas
Really you look kinda pale are you sure?
Isabel
I just feel a bit sick that's all
Josh
Maybe it was from seeing the zombie getting hacked to death?
Isabel
mmm
Thomas
oh yeah thanks for trying to save me too, I honestly thought I was gonna get bitten!
Josh
What did Isabel do?
Thomas
She tried to push him off me
Josh
Really? (to Isabel) How did you not get bitten?
Isabel
I guess it was concentrating on Thomas or something
Brydie comes back from the bathroom looking concerned
Brydie
Who's been bleeding?
Thomas and Josh
What?
Brydie
There's a bunch of tissues in the toilet all covered in blood, and it wasn't me
Josh
It wasn't me
Thomas
Same
Everyone looks at Isabel, she looks up at everyone staring at her then runs into the bathroom, locking herself in.
-End of Scene-
Scene 5
Josh, Brydie and Thomas are outside the bathroom, banging on the door.
Brydie
Isabel please just talk to us!
Josh
Come out before I bash the door down
Thomas
I don't think that'll be necessary Josh
Brydie
Isabel please we're not angry!
The door unlocks and slowly Isabel unlocks the door
Isabel
Hey
The four are now sitting back in the main room
Josh
So why was there blood on the tissues
Thomas
Not now Josh we can find out later
Brydie
No we need to know, Isabel?
Isabel
I had a nose bleed
Josh
Then why did you lock yourself away?
Isabel
I don't know
Brydie
Look, I'm just going to ask you one thing and you have to answer honestly
Isabel
Okay
Brydie
Have you been bitten?
Isabel nods and then looks down, we see under her sleeve is packed with tissues
Thomas gets up to comfort her
Thomas
Hey it's okay
Brydie
No don't touch her!
Thomas
What why?
Brydie
She's been infected!
Thomas
She's our friend!
Brydie
I know but just stay back
Josh
Well I'm sorry Isabel but you have to go
Thomas
What! You can't just chuck her out!!
Brydie
Thomas..
Thomas
She's our friend! If she's going I'm going!
Isabel
I don't want to go
Josh
Well I'm sorry but you're infected so it's just selfish to stay
Brydie
Josh! Look Isabel I'm so sorry, but you know the rules, we'll come with you
Isabel
No it's not that, I don't want to go. I don't want turn into one of those things, even if we cover it up with cerebrum mortius syndrome they're still zombies, and now I'm one of them
Thomas
There's still time!
Isabel
There isn't, before with the guy out there, I told him to stop
Thomas
No he was distracted!
Isabel
I'm sorry, and I'm sorry for not saying anything
Brydie
I would've probably done the same
Josh
So what do we do now?
Thomas
I don't know, I guess we can take you to the forest or something?
Isabel
No
Brydie
I'm sorry Isabel but you have to
Isabel
No I mean, I don't want to be remember as a zombie thing. I feel like I should just die now
Josh
What so you want us to kill you?
Isabel

Thomas
No you're fine
Isabel

Thomas nods
Isabel

Brydie straightens herself out and puts on a brave face
Brydie

Thomas nods
Josh

Isabel
