We began this idea as a simple "Day In The Life" of an average student. However after covering lessons, friends, common room, and the shop; we ran out of ideas. So we decided to go crazy and have some fun and made our student into a teacher poisoner! After having a lot of fun filming those sections, we thought it could do with a bit of depth rather than mindless killing for the sake of a laugh, so we made Amanda (the student, played by me) into an unfortunate schizophrenic. We aimed to shock the audience with the initial switch from normal to mental, then to confuse and conflict them from their laughter at the either highly comical, or intensely shocking deaths (depending on outlook, and reaction to the music), straight into a sad scene designed to create sympathy for her.
Camerawork: We tried to use a variety of shots to create a visually dynamic experience for our audience (especially important as our film was 5mins30 over the minimum time!)
Sound: The sound was a very important part in creating atmosphere and expressing Amanda's emotions.
Mise-en-scene: We thought about which items to use as part of the mise-en-scene. We debated over the science lab coat, but in the end decided to go with it, as no matter how over the top it looked, we weren't sure everyone would follow the poisoning as well without it.
Editing: I had a lot of fun as the Editor alongside Sarah helping me choose transitions etc :)
tbc XD ...
