MAN 1 - AUDITION SCRIPT
Man 1 is holding a photo showing it to woman 3
MAN 1
That’s little Amelia, she’s 2. And that’s Tommy, he’s 5 on friday
WOMAN 3
They’re beautiful
MAN 1
(Starting to cry and attempting to hide it)
I promised i’d take him to the pictures.
WOMAN 3
Hey! It’s alright!
MAN 1
You should have seen how excited he was.
WOMAN 3
I’m sorry
MAN 1
(Looking up at her in realisation)
I can’t let him down. I promised.
WOMAN 3
What are you going to do?
MAN 1
I’m going home to my boy. Whatever it takes. I’m going home to my family.

MAN 2 - AUDITION SCRIPT
Man 2 is hiding behind a pillar clutching his bag.
MAN 2
(Whispered to himself)
It’s not real. You’re ok. you’re fine... It’s a dream. It’s a...
Woman 1 grabs him by his shirt and holds a blade to his
throat. He holds his hands up above his head

WOMAN 1
I’m not a fan of an easy kill, but
such is life.
MAN 2
No,no look I’m unarmed! I’m
unarmed!
WOMAN 1
That’s your problem, not mine
MAN 2
I’m not a threat to you! Please!
WOMAN 1
Shame, it’s less fun this way.
MAN 2
Please, I’m begging you! Let me go
I can’t hurt you! Let me go, let me
run!
WOMAN 1
Well as you asked so nicely, I’ll
count to three.
She lets him go and he stands frozen to the spot. She leans
in closer to him.
(Whispered)

Go!

MAN 3 - AUDITION SCRIPT
Man 3 is hidden on the stairs aiming with his rifle down at
the woman who is scanning the area for danger. She is
holding a handgun which is shaking in her hands
.
MAN 3
You will not take me down little
girl!
"Fear not, nor be afraid. For the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee,
nor forsake thee."
He cocks and aims. As he fires the woman screams out in
shock.

Shit.
WOMAN 2
Where are you!? Come on face me!
Look me in the eye as you kill me!
(Screaming)
Come on then!
MAN 3
He cocks and aims again. The woman is looking up panicking.
(Said with anger this time)

"No sacrifice for sins is left."
The gunfire echoes in the silence.
There you go.
He holds the rifle with the bayonet gently resting against
his face as he shuts his eyes and breathes out.


WOMAN 1 - AUDITION SCRIPT
Woman 1 is looking into a hidden camera (directly to camera)
smiling sadistically.

WOMAN 1
(said quietly)
The lioness will stalk her prey
before the attack, savoring the
moment. My mother used to tell me
not to play with my food.
(smirking)
She’s gone now. And anyway, whose
eating..?
She turns away from the camera and sees Man 2 hiding
unsuccessfully behind a small wall.

(She whistles)
It’s play time junior.
She throws a blade in his direction.


WOMAN 2 - AUDITION SCRIPT
Woman 2 grabs man 2 and pulls him out of danger. They duck
behind some crates.

WOMAN 2
You were a sitting target you idiot! If you’re not more careful than that, you’ll be dead before the day is out.
MAN 2
Oh I am sorry,it’s just...
(sarcastically)
it’s been a while since I last had to fight for my life!
WOMAN 2
If you don’t want my help fine, I can leave you here to die.
MAN 2
Why would you help me!?
WOMAN 2
I’ll defend myself here but I won’t just stand by and watch someone else suffer.
MAN 2
And I’m supposed to just believe
that?
WOMAN 2
Believe what you want, like I said I can go if you want me to. It’s not like I’m busy surviving or anything...
She gets up to leave
MAN 2
Look, I’m sorry OK. I just don’t know who to trust
WOMAN 2
Don’t trust anyone! That’s rule number one.

WOMAN 3 - AUDITION SCRIPT
Woman 3 and Man 2 are both crouched behind a wall.
MAN 2
I’ve never even been in a fight! How am I supposed to do this?
WOMAN 3
You aren’t supposed to that’s the whole point!
Man 2 sighs and looks at his hands
I don’t see how everyone seems to find it so easy to just kill each other just because they were told to. This is so wrong.
MAN 2
I’m sure they all have their reasons.
WOMAN 3
What, so now there is a valid reason for taking someone’s life?!
They see man 3 run past and they watch silently until is gone.
MAN 2
He’s a father. He just wants to go home.
WOMAN 3
We all want to go home! But if I get to go home, I won’t be going a murderer, I would rather die than
that.

Logic - Soundtrack construction


To edit the soundtrack for our product, I used Logic pro, as this would allow me to professionally finish the effect of the base track.

By adding effects such as an EQ (equaliser) I was able to improve the quality of my soundtrack as well as edit it to fit my purpose for the final product by cutting out the unwanted frequencies.

I added a compressor to normalise the levels and avoid high and low peaks.

Creating the typography

When making the typography, the first thing I had to do was find a base font that I wanted to start working from.  From our past research we decided on the font Bloody impact.

To create the typography I will be using Adobe Photoshop. After creating a background layer and colouring it black, I added an additional adjustment layer to add the text to invert the colour.  







I then edited this text layer by adding adjustment layers to add drop shadows, inner shadows, bevel and emboss, stroke and gradient overlay following the colour scheme of gold and blue.






I then added a duplicate text layer just below the original text layer which created the effect of a whole text shadow.

By cutting out the text and making the background transparent, the typography was therefore transferable to our 3 media products.





Lighting equipment

The lights which we will be using are:

Arri 650w Tungsten Fresnel

These lights allow us to follow the three point lighting rule and light the characters features as well as scenery.
Arri Minicyc Tungsten Floodlight

This filmlight will allow us to create a general wash over certain scenes as well as help in achieving certain shots such as the silhouette desired in the window shot.

Uni-com LED lantern

These Uni-com LED lights allow us to highlight specific features on the characters face as well as emphasising wounds.  The lights are extremely light and portable allowing us to use them even working on difficult locations.
