Coffee Films is a great example of a British Independent Film Company because it started with two people filming on camcorders and has grown into a large successful company.

Coffee Films would distribute Evangeline to film festivals but also try to get cinema release and promote it via Social Networks. To make a larger profit Coffee Films could buy TV licenses and rights to online streaming.

Location Confirmation

Chapter Thirty-Eight:

Location Confirmation

Today I found out the date for shooting my thriller has been moved to this friday so,

Friday 30th January

Which moves our date forward and leaves us less time to prepare, I have sent an email to the bathroom owner to confirm our shooting there and should hear back later today. I have received permission to use the Audi to film the car scene and driver and I am still awaiting permission to use a public wardrobe for costume. 

To film the one underwater scene we will need to find a go pro with waterproof housing and get permission to use it. I have someone in mind and will send an email requesting the use of it.

The keyhole has been made and is ready to use so shooting those scenes will be easy and are complete.

All our actors are available.

FIlming Through A Keyhole

Chapter Thirty-Five :

'When people say "She's got everything!" - I have my answer, 'I don't have tomorrow.'"

Filming With A Keyhole

To create the idea of having young Evangeline watching her mother through a keyhole it will be important to build a big one to create that effect through the camera. It will most likely be built from cardboard or some tough material and will be big enough to be held in front of the camera.

This would be a great opening shot!

Thriller Location

Chapter Thirty-Three:

"Leave when ready, not when told."

Location For Evangeline

Evangeline will likely be filmed at CORNHILL MANOR On 
FRIDAY 13TH FEBRUARY
It will also be necessary to film certain shots in the film studio- such as the bath shots, the underwater shot and the keyhole shot.
It may be possible to shoot the car scene in a car park to create a realistic setting.

CORNHILL MANOR

We would like to have the scene shot in the bathroom so it actually looks like a real bathroom. I would like to be able to see a sink and toilet etc. in the shot swell as a bath. It is supposed to look upper class and a real bathroom over a set built one would look much more suitable.

Thriller Costume

Chapter Thirty-Two:

"Impossible only means you haven't found the solution yet."

Costume & Props For Evangeline

For our thriller Evangeline, we need to organise props and costume as we will be shooting on FRIDAY 13th FEBRUARY 2015

We have decided to use a teenage girl to play YOUNG EVANGELINE and we will dress her in a child's dress and put a bow in her hair. To represent her purity we would like her to be in white, we would also like her hair to be tied back into a low pony tail. We will use minimum makeup.

To create YOUNG MICHAEL'S costume we will put a white shirt with a pair of chinos. This will show he is upper class but not modern. He is a older child at the time of MONA'S death. He will have his hair combed over.

We would like MONA to be in the bath at the time of her death so we plan to have her appear nude. Her hair and make up will be free and smudged to show she has been distressed. Her hair will be wet to start and end.

OLDER EVANGELINE, OLDER MICHAEL, And BROOKE Will all be dressed casually in the other part of the OS. They will all be dressed modern.

Changes In Shooting

Chapter Thirty-One

'I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not gonna take this anymore- I'm moving to Hawaii.'

What's Changed

Why are you going to film through the keyhole more rather than over the bath?

As a team we feel the opening sequence will be more mysterious if we film though the keyhole from young Evangeline's perspective. 

How will you end the sequence?

The final shot will be young Evangeline opening the bathroom door to see her mothers legs hanging out of the bath and it will cut to black very quickly.

 

Why change the death from drowning suicide to self harm (bleeding out) suicide?

It will make more sense and make it easier to film her dying above the water rather than drowning beneath the water.
