As of this time, we are still working on the the 'Prisoner' video clip, and within this clip I've had an idea of how the interrogator's voice should be like, as well as the laughing section near the middle of the clip (0:48).

I believe the tone of the voice and the sheer insanity of the voice would add very weird (although tense and strange) vibe and feeling towards the film.I also believe it would make a good voice style because in quite a few interrogation scenes, the interrogator has a unusually deep and thunderous voice.
For example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMTeNjUwlwo&feature=related


The interrogator has a very deep, albeit edited voice, that doesn't let his voice be recognised, the kind of voice gives the representation of a dominant person, someone who is in control and have power over someone else.  

Note: I know a lot of my examples are coming from Games or short films, but I believe games are an underrated form of media, which in the right circumstances give a fantastic atmosphere just as good as any film.

Soundtrack, different ones I may use...

So, after consideration of which ones to use, I thought (and as a group) thought we should have a deep, bleak soundtrack in the background, that creates and a dark and confusing atmosphere. Another thing we are going to keep track of is consistency, since the whole film is in black and white, and has a dark tone, we need to keep the music exactly the same, so we can't have heavy bass guitars then 8 bit beats in the background. Anyway back to track selections.

Otep - Buried Alive.

I believe the intro of this song would be brilliant for the beginning of our clip, it matches the tone, and the emphasises the dire situation of the man being interrogated, it also gives a surreal and psychotic element due to the quiet whispers in the background. (Note it would be playing until 1:04 then loop back to 0:00 if i were to use it)

Chimaira - Resurrection

Although I wouldn't use the whole song, only the first 15 seconds, and i'd use this for the intro, because it gives a very weird and tense feel, heavy breathing with no other sound. The breathing sound likes it moving rapidly at points, which would fit nicely with out intro of the interrogator moving swiftly.

 Metro 2033 OST - Fresh Air

Lastly before I add any more, this one I pretty much love, its twisted and surreal, and fantastic. (possibly abit biased here since im a massive fan of the Book and the game) But yes this soundtrack could well fit into our film.

Any suggestions of other types would be welcome :) Ciao!

1st Blog, Finally up and running,

Hello!, Finally been able to use my blog for unknown reasons. To catch up, Mine, Charlotte's and Amir's first project was a shot opening clip of our own fictional film 'Shoot me if you can'. Since I don't actually have the film on me, check Amir's blog further down the bottom. Our second project (which we are currently working on) is based on 'The Prisoner', in which we have to shoot an interrogation scene ( Amir as the 'victim' and i'm the interrogator, and Charlotte is doing the camera-work )

Although we haven't finished yet, we are having the whole film in black and white to give it a 'Noire' look, and give it more atmosphere with a more eeriie look towards it. We will have many different camera shots in place, such as close-ups, long shots, etc etc. One that we are attempting to use is a shot that mimics and security camera, and using editing and effects, creating a cctv-like image whilst playing.

Another one of my roles of this video is to choose a soundtrack for our new clip, hoping to go on with something eerie and bleak. (next blog will be about this)

Anyway, Ciao!
