Filming For Thought Influence (Based On Sherlock)

For the final scene, the main character in our short film, Tom finds out how he died. All the flashbacks from the film join together to give away the reason for his death at the end. This scene is set in a park. We always believed we needed to a scene to convey the main characters confusion near the end of the film. We used the idea from a recent Sherlock episode to try and create a sense of filming thought. To do this we are using the same sequence of shots by making it look like Tom is talking to multiple characters at once, leading to the confusion being too much for him. We used the sequence from Sherlock and incorporated it into our film. The video below helped us re-create this sequence and the plan shows how we will use the sequence to fit with the characters of our film.

Filming Diary 1

Thursday 19th January

Friday 20th January

Monday 23rd January

The scenes that were filmed during these days were:

Tom Watson walking past hospital, triggering a flashback.
Tom Watson, walking to the park for the final scene, getting social media messages, noticing the car and calling his friend.
Most of the final park scene.

Whilst filming, we came up with numerous transition shots and editing ideas to make our film look inventive and unique. We also re-filmed some shots as we found that previous footage could have been improved.

This is a plan of the costumes and props we will be using in our film. We aim to stick to this plan to allow our film to have continuity throughout it.
