The film

Editing

During the editing of the clips, we decided to slow down the clip to 35%, and add titles at the beginning of the clip. These titles include the name of the clip, the definition of the clip as well as our names.

Another wesbite for a newspaper article.

I have also found this site;
http://interactives.mped.org/view_interactive.aspx?id=110&title
This site is very basic, and is suitable for a younger user, however I think it would be able to give our clip an appropriate article.

Adding a Newspaper Article

We have also came up with the idea that creating a newspaper article to make the clip more convincable. To further this idea I have been looking through sites to create a suitable newspaper article, and have found this wesbite;

Title

For the clip, we plan to provide a definition.
We have yet to decide which particular defintion we shall use. The suggestions are;
1.
the intentional taking of one's own life.
2.
destruction of one's own interests or prospects: Buying that house was financial suicide.
3.
a person who intentionally takes his or her own life.

Information

We are going to input statistics on the clips, to give the viewer a background information.
This includes;
1) One million people, per year commit suicide in the world - that's one death every fourty seconds.
2) Over 90% of people commit suicide suffer from a mental disorder or substance abuse.

Naming The Clip.

We're considering to call our clip 'Sucidal' or 'Annihilation'. As it is to the point, and gives the audience an idea of what the clip is going to be about.

The song.

We have chosen a song we will use in the clip. The song is Slow Life By Grizzly Bear.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UGOJx4d1xc

We have chosen this song because it adds eeriness, and has perfect lyrics that suit the mood of the our clip.

Pictures.


These images are the type of which we could use in the clip, as it could show that they were happy, but then something changed between them to make them angry, creating tension, and therefore giving a reason why the girl would have been on top of the building.

Letter suggestion.

This is the type of letter that could be used for the clip, as it signifies importance, so a glimpse of the words on the page would give the audience the impression of why the girl would be on top of the building in the first place.

Adding pictures and images.

We have been considering adding and editing pictures into the clip, to represent memories and give a background to the two characters. This is so the audience would be able to get an idea of why the girl is going to jump. These images would be added to when the man is running up the stairs, so that the audience is able to see what he is thinking and relate to his past memories with the girl.

Possibilty of having to film more

We have discovered that we may not have enough footage to be able to convey the story we want, therefore we are considering to film again - to add on more footage at the end.
We would like to add one last shot of the girl's face reacting to the guy telling her not to jump, we would like to do this by having a close up of the girls face, turning round and looking panicked also trying to explain why she needs to jump!
