Pre Production

This is the pre production paperwork from the production of our short film which we had chosen to title Bifurcate. We chose to title the production Bifurcate as the film we wanted to create would have multiple alternative endings to it. And as bifurcate means a split in a path the name was selected. Below a Bts picture can be seen.

Deconstruction

The deconstructions we had to do analysing and breaking down the auteur style that we were trying to replicate. Pictured to the left is a bts freeze frame from an outtake of the Bifurcate shoot. And below the picture of myself, Oscar can be seen recording wild track.

The script and shot list

The script that was written for the Short film, during the production a few aspects of the script were changed to better fit within the logistical restrictions we had. For instance we were originally planning to shoot the opening sequence inside a vintage train carriage, but changed the location to a station to still incorporate the thematic aspect of trains whilst getting around the logistical issues like cost and available booking slots. While the changes were small and didnt much affect the narrative, i feel that they all helped to create a stronger final product for the film itself.

Bifurcate poster

I made this poster for the project, it was inspired by the psycho poster.

Bifurcate

This is my version of the bifurcate cut, the video end card contains the multiple endings that can be chosen from. Overall the project was fun to do and i believe turned out pretty good all things considered.

Bifurcate

This is Donovan's version of the Bifurcate cut, they were the director and we used their cut as the version for feedback and grading.

What Did i Choose?

What do I plan to make?

I plan to make a sci-fi title sequence and two minute scene, the idea is called unification as its core plot device will be someone making a jump between two universes, an alpha and delta one. It will use a color scheme with lots of strong blues and an industrial aesthetic. I plan to incorporate the lights used to light the set into the actual set dressing itself as i think the wires, cables, and beams of solid light will work with my chosen asthethic.
