Script- Stakeland 2: Evolution

Shot Types:

1.

Close up of Josh's face while running. This is to show fear on his face, this reinforces the idea of the Hyper-Mascualted vampires being fearsome. Another reason I used a close up of his mouth was to see his breathing this would be effective as it was cold it creates fog from the mouth and vampires can't survive in the cold.

2.

Long Shot of Vampire crouching on the floor. This is he first shot of the Vampire by itself after its been revealed, this shot is here to establish it and get a look at it. The way I have it positioned (crouched almost on all fours) is to reinforce the feral stereotype, so it is almost animal like in the way that it is sitting. 

3.

Low Angle shot of vampire standing over Josh. This is to show that the vampire has more power over Josh in this situation, this also shows that Josh is more submissive and that the Vampires are higher up in the food chain.

4.

High Angle shot of Vampire Circling Josh. This shot is also here to reinforce some of the stereotypes mainly the feral one as he is circling Josh like a predator would its pray, its also as if the vampire is looking down on Josh also showing that it is more important.

5.

Mid Shot of Vampire listening to a distant voice. This is reinforcing the idea of supernatural powers as it has heightened sense of hearing. You also see the Vampire looking like a human just with the vampire fangs, this challenges the stereotypes from the previous film of the all being disfigured and 'zombified'.

6.

Low Angle shot of Vampire lifting up Josh before she kills him. This also follows the stereotype of there supernatural abilities as she is lifting a full grown man up above her, she then kills him in the stereotypical bite to the neck.

7.

Extreme Close Up of vampire mouth showing fangs and blood. This shot is to show the stereotypical fangs and blood dripping from her mouth without any expression the vampire face showing her as emotionless and cold.

8.

Mid Shot on Vampire embracing the sunlight. For me I thought that this would be a very important shot  as this breaks every convention built up by the genre over the years, this is a very important shot to reinforce my textual analysis.

9.

Mid Shot of Professor Grace resting injured at a base of a tree. This shot is here to reinforce the idea of a disruption as the Professor looks exactly like the vampire which gets the viewer asking questions and also causes questions to be asked by the group helping the story progress.

Location Report

Evaluation of the Area:

These are photos of the locations I would use for my film. I have chosen them as I believe they would be appropriate for my story as it is quite open and un-populated, also I can relate it to my Thesis Statement in my Textual Analysis that conventions have to change. The location is quite a big thing in mine as in Stakeland they say at one point that the Vampires stay away from cold places and the fact that in my sequel at this part they have just been attacked in daylight breaks the conventions in two ways, one being its snowy making it cold and two being daylight. I would not have to set dress the scene at all, the only thing that you may have to do is that if the snow disappears we would have to use artificial snow. 

The image on the right is where they find the scientist and the image on the left is the opening to the field.

The image on the left is were the camp at the start would be set and the image on the right is of an area of the woods in which you would see the group running.

This is a shot I could put in at the end of the scene of a abandoned town they try to head to for safety.  

Accessibility:
 There many different access points to the field on foot, there is also a few gates at which a vehicle could get into the field. The town you can see in my last photo is easily accessible from the main road that runs between the field and the town. One entrance to the woods which we would probably mainly use is easily accessible by foot but not by vehicle, but there is access to it further around.

Health and Safety:
 The area is very safe overall but some things you should be aware of are; there are people that use the fields and part of the woods to walk dogs regularly so we would have to put up signs to let them know or to divert around the locations needed. There is a clear path through the woods but there are tree roots that may stick out of the ground so you must be careful with your footing. One more thing would be in the woods itself there is a area called 'The Bomb Hole' which is a huge ditch in the ground, but it is easily avoidable and we should be able to film around the area.

Lighting, Noise and Electricity:
 Unfortunately there isn't really a source of power that we could use, therefore we would have to use generators which there is space for. There is no Artificial Lighting in either the Field or Woods so we would have to bring our own lights. There is also not much sound apart from the wildlife, this would benefit though as you will not have car noises in the background.

Contact:
 If you were to use the above location we would have to be in contact with the local council to arrange times and dates at which to use it. We could easily find the contact information of the council online or through asking some of the local people.
