When will your number come up?

Some people may thing that this is the end of when it says, “When will your number come up?” Most people would think it this just a short film, but no it’s not. I thought about how I could have this writing pop up at the end of every killing or be placed on objects that are around discreetly like a calling card. This could bring the film to make a sequel; I thought how if every time the assassin killed someone I the writing “When Will Your Number Come Up?” this is how the name Bingo was made. I was going to make a Bingo calling card, which loads off assassins are trying to get the number. Numbers relate to people. When the assassin received the call on Skype, the person who gave the protagonist the job, he doesn’t say a name of the target he gives a set of numbers.  "I need you to kill subject matter 521" This could be anyone. He gives further instructions on what the target looks like and how you will recognise him.

My final Project!

BINGO. The Final Project

Google Vs Hotmail

I originally had Hotmail as the email supplier on my project, but I looked at the copy rights issues throughout this. So i had to change this. To get around this problem, I had a look at Googles rights on this issue. Hotmail had more strict issue on this. I wanted to use Hotmail because I am a frequent user and know the interface.
This is a screen shot of terms and conditions.

My Evaluation

Behind Scenes

There are lots real media that influence my piece are film like the film “Wanted”, because he is just a normal person, who gets taken in to the different world. I wanted to get across that anyone could be anyone in my film. Don’t trust anyone. People do things for money, things that they are not proud of doing.

The aspect I tried to avoid was making my film to strong, make it 12/15, I dint try to add to much violets and gore. I have not added any bad language usage during the whole film. If I were part of the BBFC I would give the film a 12 certificate during the first part, but if I were going to make a full-length film, I would have to make my film a 15 because there would be more violence.

I have cut into the film to narrow it down to about 3 minutes but, if the film was longer I think the audience would find it lags in pace, so I have cut out some simple steps and speeded up some possesses. This helps the film flow and make scene, and have no unneeded footage included.

The sound is not perfect, I used a HD SLR camera to film my project. There is sound I have had to add and copy of different clips but if I had money and extra time inside the museum I would of make the sound perfect and put up wind barriers.

My piece opens with a collage of pictures of the protagonist and his life. This shows who he is. Make you feel comfortable with the protagonist; makes you feel like you know him. The film closes by the protagonist shooting his target with a sniper. This ends closes the film because, the target is dead and he has completed his assignment.

My film has lots of representational issues. The representations issues of Gender are, that women get the job were she does gets the package, she doesn’t have any power she is just sent to get he package. She doesn’t have any significant, she is just their do this simple job. If I was going to make this a full feature length film, I would of made the woman have more power and be in charge of this whole situation. Just like the main character in the film “Wanted”. If u read my storyboards, there is a woman at the end who is running the operation.

The representations issues of Age are that, young people are the people who are going to be in power, we are going to be the future and we are the next generation.

The representations issues of ethnicity is that, is that half cast Asian person, is the man who does the shooting, the assassin not ninja, like a stereo type, Asian assassin. He is a normal person, could be anyone. If the person were Black, this would follow the stereotype, of a black man killing someone. I have added an Asian male actor, as normal, casual as possible, anyone could relate to him even if they’re not Asian or any social ethnicity, the assassin could be anyone, Even You! 

I have chosen he Mese-en-scene because, it loco, people from Bristol will recognize Park Street in the center of Bristol. I have chosen to film the start of the film in my own house, in my own bed, this is I feel comfortable. I have put up pictures that I would like only my friends to see, not people would work with, close friends, this invites the viewer into my life. This makes the view feel like they know me. I have film in a iconic place in Bristol, this is the Bristol museum, this will help with publicity for the museum and help with tourists coming to Bristol.

I have added some Foley affects to my film, I have made the pick lock sound my self, I had a pick lock kit, which is one of my hobbies, so I re recorded this, to get the proper sound affect of picking a lock, when I filmed in the museum picking the lock, their was some static and back glowed noise. The pick locking was an iconic scene. The Skype call was pre recorded, this is because I did this with a proper microphone and I used a recording studio. I did not use a direct Skype to Skype call. I screen recorded the Skype call, and added the audio over the call.

The camera at the beginning of the film, is hand held, this is more like someone point of view, this like someone looking at his pictures. I wanted to make the audience feel like they were in the room, looking at the pictures them self.

The rest of the film is more tripod-based, but my camera bottom is broken, so I had to relay on the human had, keeping steady and possible.

The way I selected the actors is that I thought I would be the main person, the protagonist, I chosen my self because I have a collage of lodes of different pictures on my wall. I am also the most reliable person to sort out everything, if the protagonist was busy I could not do anything, but having myself as the protagonist I would always be on set. I could direct the camera people and direct my self, I could get the perfect shot and perfect action I wanted the protagonist to perform. The reason why I choses the other actors, is because, Jessica Puckett is my Girl friend and we was going to go down town together and I asked her to help me out. The other actor Liam is my best friend who did acting at GCSE so he was perfect person to use. He filmed the movie for me. He did photography as well. I did not want to have a massive crew to film the film because I promised them I would buy them lunch.

Myra Lee

We had an woman called Myra Lee coming to our school to help us out with different media journalism and editing. She watched my video and told me how i could improve the video, what to change and whats good.

What I need to do:

What to do list:

I need to do some more close up when I am holding the gun.

I need to ask people what they think if my film. I am going to ask my mum to take my film to her work place. She works with a old teacher who use to teach art. He will give me tips to change and how to improve my work.

I am going to take screen shots of different movies and add them to my blog and annotate them.

I need to edit part of my film and film some part again, my camera focus/lighting part of my camera is broken. I had my camera on a tripod in the wind blew it down and the glass light protector smashed. I need to re film this. 

This screen shot is taken at 1:51

The whole Image through out the shot is jumpy and blurred. I am defiantly going to go back to the to town and re film this part. 



I need to re screen record the protagonist when he is on his computer. 

I need to re record the Skype call with the protagonist. I have u to change the script. 

How I edited my music

This is Virtual DJ this is how i made a loop on each song.

This is how i recored my work on virtual DJ then I transferred them to iTunes.

This is the Music files on my own iTunes.

This is how I i transferred it to my iMovie and and just dragged it on to the part i wanted to be.

The laws on air rifles

http://www.basc.org.uk/en/codes-of-practice/air-rifles.cfm
This is a link to the website on what you can do and can't do with a air rifle. I have looked over this and when i was filming, i have not broken any laws.

Their is also a link to a website were you can download a PDF file. Air Rifle code of practice.

The Public

When i was on the roof with the gun, their was a chance for someone to notice and call the police. I had signs put up and spotters to tell the public their was filming going on. I had asked 10 of my friends to help out and 7 of them turned up. One was helping me film, which included Liam Jordan and Jessica Puckett, who stared in my film. The other people were people i know from school and personal life came to help, and was going out that day, after i helped them film. They were telling people that their is filming going at the time. I had even asked some of the public to look shocked in the film to add some suspense and realism.

Music copy right

I have got music that has been mad from different artists and they I have not asked for permeation.

To get around this law on music, I have downloaded Virtual DJ Home. I have modified each song slightly and put them on a loop using the software provided by Virtual DJ. If the song is modified, not the original I should be able to pass copyright laws.

Each song I have purchased on ITunes or I purchased them in a licensed record store on CD and then transferred them to my computer to modify. 


The 2 songs I'm using so far in my film are: Hard to beat by Hard-Fi and Deadmau5 feat. Rob Swire - Ghosts N Stuff 

Museum Documents

Museum roof access granted

I have obtained the documents from David Lippatt. David had granted a me asses to the museum roof.

David had sent me the document to say I am allowed Asses to the roof. 

I will upload the document for proof.

There are rules and regulations for when we go up there. 

Woman rights in media

Woman have less action scenes than men. in films like james bond, the woman is just a woman sleep with the main guy and more of a desiccation for the audience and get male attention. women are hardly ever the main person behind the whole operation, even if their the ones trying to save the human race or assessment. I films like llara croft, salt and kill bill they have the main part, but when the main guy thats running the operation, he is a man. All the hence men are men, and their might be one supra woman. This is why i'm making a woman the main person of this assignation operation. In the film Death race the woman own the operation but not the main person in the film, she is just the person that runs the operation.

The shoot on the museum roof

Pardon the Pun

On the 11th and 12th of February on saturday and sunday, i have the museum roof booked out to do the shoot. I have asked David Lippiatt for permission and he has given me this date to shoot on. He is going to send me the health and safety for me and the other people going on their. David is the site manager at the museum and i will have some other site managers their to help out if any problems. They need to watch over us at all times and they have the final say on what we can do. They are going to give a health and safety breathing before we go up. I have been on the museum roof before so I have a idea on what i can do personally and i can plan out the shoot in my head. I have a air soft gun for the shoot, that I am allowed to use but not over the edge and vie for the public. their are different levels on the roof so i can create different affects for my shoot and mix to images together when i'm editing the final product.

Music recording

I have got a recording studio booked on the 25th of January, I am going to be recording with Dan Williams. I will be recording it in the studio at school, I am going to stay after school with Dan to record when it is more quiet. I am going to use the software from the school that they have provided, this is professional software which dan knows how to use. I might get some female singers to do other part of the film, the start of the film is going to be dan doing his rap, this rap is upbeat and tell a story about his life. Later on i will add some female vocals later on to add some mixture of tensions when the film progress.
