Summary of Re-Planning

A summary of the changes that we made in consideration of the 4 micro elements 

New Line of Narrative Events (Screenplay Alterations)

After we made the changes in the narrative, such as removals of clips as well as additions, we decided it was necessary to arrange the events to make it more clear where they fit into the screenplay.

Changes and Additions to the Narrative

After our animatic feedback from our teacher and class, we realised that it was necessary to make some changes to our narrative. Therefore we decided to remove some elements, keep some and add some. We have developed these ideas for days and have came to the conclusion of what needs to be done.

Elements have been altered:

Elements that have been removed/added:

Required Sound Research

After our animatic we found what sounds worked well that we will keep as well as sounds that may have been missing and that need to be added, here is the sound we decided we needed:

School Indoor

Walking Footsteps

Running in Corridor

School Bell 

Ambient Talking Noise

Eardrum Ringing

Clock

Door Opening 

School Outdoor

Walking on Pavement 

Running on Pavement

People Playing Football

Harry's Room

Keyboard Typing

Sobbing Lightly

Trial Shots

These are the shots first shots of the film which we tested to ensure our equipment worked well as well as the quality of thew filming. This was the result we came out with for our first shots:

Case Study: Panic Attack

Panic Attack is a short film created by Fede Alvarez.

Production

A trailer of the film was uploaded to YouTube in October 2006, with some scenes from the finished version. The official production budget of the film was given as only $300. In addition to writing, editing and directing the film, Álvarez created the visual effects based on computer-generated imagery.

Narrative

Giant Robots appear out of the mist and attack Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay. Accompanied by a squadron of spacecraft, they fire weapons at the city and destroy key buildings, leading to mass panic.

The military fights back to little avail. At the end of the film, the robots fuse together to form a giant sphere, which then detonates and engulfs the city in a fireball. No explanation is given for the attack.

Premiere

The film was premiered on October 31, 2009 at the Buenos Aires Rojo Sangre film festival and uploaded to YouTube on November 3, 2009.Following widespread media coverage, Álvarez was offered a $30 million Hollywood deal to develop and direct a full-length film, such as Evil Dead and Don't Breathe.

Panic Attack contained the key to creating a successful short film, therefore we will try and find those successful elements and use them in our film.
