Title: My Latest Project
Post by: legy on March 08, 2005, 02:16:48 AM
At this currnet moment in time me and one of my best mates Sara Kennedy are making a proper movie. We have been raising some money by doing sponsored runs ect, ect. At first people thought it was just a normal teenage phase we were going through but we have been going for about 6 months now and we are deadly serious. We really want to make this movie! It's going to be a horror movie. We going on a course for 5 days in april during school time. It's £100 per day (so it better bloody be a good course! :P)

Title: Re: My Latest Project
Post by: St.Jáck on March 09, 2005, 12:00:29 AM
ohhhhhh sounds good and yesh what is it about
Title: Re: My Latest Project
Post by: legy on March 09, 2005, 12:04:48 AM
okay this could take a while ;) lol

It's about a priest (and before you say hold on i thought this was a horror movie, not some relgious movie, it gets a whole lot scarier than him lol ;)) who comes to this new church that has been built in a small village.

If you have ever heard of those ceromonies (sp?) where priest's sometimes go to houses to bless them and get rid of "evil" spirits and stuff, this is what our priest does to this new church. Before the church was built it was an old creepy graveyard you see but no one had ever payed any respect to it and just trashed it basically. So he blesses the church from all the angered "dead".
However, what he doesn't realise id that he has awakened and annoyed in doing so a very evil spirit! The spirit later takes over this priest and makes him do murderous things. For instance he kinapps little boys and girls and murders them each differently and horribly.

Then basically, later on in the movie our secong main character comes into the scene. He is a mental patient who cannot be trusted. He's really twisted in the head and has done bad things in the past. He's a really religious man and he is looked after in a mental institution home. He escapes when he reads his local newspaper about the missing people and the murders. He trys to  warn people it's the priest and evil spirits have awoken but he's mental right?! So who's going to believe him?

Post by: ~* Lowi *~ on March 09, 2005, 12:14:41 AM

Title: Re: My Latest Project
Post by: legy on March 18, 2005, 12:38:47 AM
Yeah, we're trying to find out all about directing and cinematographers and all the other fields involved in film-making. To be a director requires you to know near enough everything about film-making so we are researching and finding out who does what in making movies. :)
We're also trying to learn the right terminology. :D
Title: Re: My Latest Project
Post by: ~* Lowi *~ on March 18, 2005, 11:54:54 PM
lmao that'll be fun! :P :laugh:

A while ago we had this thing called Cinemagic and it was the dude that played Mr C in Hollyoaks goin round different places and telling people (about 12-16 year olds I think) what makes a good actor and all and it sounded pretty good but I found out about it too late :dry: ::)

Title: Re: My Latest Project
Post by: ~* Lowi *~ on March 19, 2005, 12:36:55 AM
lmao yeah that oculd be a SLIGHT problem! :laugh: ::) My problem is that I have so much to say and while I'm writing it, I think about exactly what and how I'm gonna write it (I cant help it, it just happens! :D) but I cant get it down fast enough and then I end up goin like "agh I'll write it later!" and then I just forget about it! ::)
Title: Re: My Latest Project

AWWWWW thank you hunny!  :-*
*BIG MASSIVE LEGY HUGGLES*  :D  :-*

Okay the topics of researching are:

- A typical film schedual
- Actors rights and needs
- Accomodation (for cast and crew)
- Responsibilities of a film director
- Crew required on the set of a movie

(you can pick which ever you want! :))

We both appreciate what you are doing for us and if you are successful we have discussed and agreed that you will be mentioned in the special thanks at the end of the movie credits. :D  8)

I'm searching at the moment for responsibilities of a film director, and I think I'll extract loads of little bits and type it up for you.  But I'll give you a tip.  Watch all three of the Extended Edition's extra DVDs because you can watch how Peter Jackson did it and interacted with cast and crew.

Right, there are hardly any things about directing tips, etc.  on the Internet.  So anything else you want doing, just ask.  I was thinking about advertising? ???

Only if you're sure Tellyn. :) Advertising would be excellent but it's up to you. :)
Thanks a lot babe!  :-*  :D

so how much will it cost?

i have £10 in my money box.......will that help? :)
Title: Re: My Latest Project
Post by: legy on April 10, 2005, 03:48:24 AM
An average Hollywood Blockbuster Movie can cost anything between $30-$120 million.
So that's about, £15-£60 million.
not alot then eh?!  XD  :-\

Post by: Tellyn on April 10, 2005, 06:18:23 PM
That's true.  Right, I can do advertising, so what is the movie about?  Got any pictures?  Or could you just dress someone up and take a picture? 
Title: Re: My Latest Project
Post by: legy on April 10, 2005, 08:27:55 PM
Well advertising comes at the end of the making of the movie so until then you don't have to worry :)

Right, I am wanting one too but cannot afford it.  I went into Dixons and thought that the 99 pound insurance was actually the price!  Erm, you'll have to fork out over 200 quid for a almost decent camera, and for a decent one, 350.  Sorry, I was appalled too.

Tony and Ridley Scott are film directors. Ridley Scott had directed Gladiator, Black Hawk Down and most recently Kingdom Of Heaven.  :)
Tony is his brother and has equally good films under his wing.

Yeah write to blast, as long as you're 13-19.

We just made the film for ourselves cause we were going to anyway.  You'll need to describe your plot though.  I wouldnt recommend an angst film about suicidal teens cause i think they're overwhelmed with them.  Nope, turns out not even the bbc cares *what you're going through*.   

We made ours about gang wars in ealing.   :P

UPDATE:

Finally got round to learning about useful programmes in the industry and i've been working on the professional programmes such as:

Avid (used to make lord of the rings and certain parts of harry potter and shrek)
Ulead Video Studio 9
Adobe Photoshop CS2

Been doing annimations (simple ones mind) and learned how to do proper Croma keying! :D
