IDEAS DEVELOPMENT
This playlist serves as a inspiration for our short film, These videos give a broad idea of the demographic we want to target, the type of styles we want to do, a majority of these have VHS quality to them, old internet style videos with quite unsettling vibes, some of these purposely made to seem unsettling and others incidentally
This is mine and Tyches shared Instagram folder for things that inspired us for our project. This is where we got alot of ideas for effects and motifs that will be used in the film.
Main idea - Aconium ARG Idea -
this is the one i'm most proud of, i think it cover all basis of what we want our to feel like, i went left to right with the idea, having the more horror inspired stuff be up top whilst funneling down in a motion to where the other side of the mood board has the more Y2k, computer inspired aspect of the short film.
Main idea - Acconium ARG Idea -
this is the first time i defered from my usual mindmap, ditching the white and black text to go a bit more on the design as well as the writing, i thought that i might as well on the last project, go ll out on the last mind map.
Initial development for ARG - Logo designs
These are the alternate designs for the company that poses the main threat of our horror film, we mesed around with colours and different ways to diasplayed it before settling on the blue & yellow.
Proposals
This is how we give our ideas for projects, in a formal sytle, with the concepts, propsoed shots and target audience all listed out:
Station Pilots Proposal
Music Video Proposal
Aconitum Proposal
Feasibilities
This is basically what it says, how feasible we think the idea is, how we would get actors, what sets we would use and how we would acquire them, the way we would research for this topic and what ideas we ha that we would deem either achievable or unachievable.
Railway drama - Station pilot
Music Video - Road to Nowhere
Final Feasibility - Aconitum
PITCH
This was mine and Tyche's joint pitch, the large overview of the product we want to make and what we would do to achieve this:
Test Shoots
This was our first test shoot demostarting how we would make a spiral of doors, something used by our main antagonist
our second shoot revolves around using a cam-coder, too see if it would be a viable option for the secondary camera, edited multiple ways to properly show every way it could work
This was our third shoot, this unfortunately didn't work, due to something wrong with the program we wanted to use, it just wouldn't let us get on with the effect, something either program side or our mistake was making so we couldn't get the intended effect at all, we watched multiple tutorial all saying the same thing that we couldn't get to work.
This is our class test shoot done with Chris, something to help us with transition and effects. using LUTS, MOGRTS and evals, these are something new that we learnt with Chris, though their something we've already been doing without the proper know how on the topic.
Naming our Product
These were our first idea's for the name, sticking to a theme of doors for the name but sticking with something more eerie and less of a mouthful. this document also has our list of inclining incidents for the AERD.
PRE-PRODUCTION
Treatment
Production Schedule
This is the schedule that we made for our production, it details the things we want to get complete and by what date, this version is the one we wrote at the start of production, obviously things change and get moved, dates change, and things get finished done at different times or things are added, this is why we put the before version and the finished version here, to show the differences
This is our planned schedule for our ARG uploaded, in mind map form, I used the old internet motif to aesthetically apply it like in the mind-map, keeping that theme.

Budget
Script
Initial plot ideas
These are the baseline ideas we had for the script, these ideas would later help em in writing the initial script, things like having the abandoned headquaters, this was also before we decided what the title was going to be or the infomational videos plot
This is the first draft i wrote for acontium, a lot of the ideas weren't finalized and it wast a fully fledged script with lots of detail missing and it being shorter, but you can see where the final versions ideas came from and the development. this script was more heavily focused on the religious aspect
This is the final script used for the film, some things were still changed like the green screen room being changed to be more office like, to give e better more thrown together vibe, but other a few tweaks to the dialogue and the obvious changes that happen on the day, the film is faithful to the script.

RESEARCH
this is our big research document, detailing what we want to use to make our film the theories that go into it and the history of our genre
PRODUCTION
Whilst filming we posted lots of our BTS to Instagram to allow people to follow us aas we film our product.
This is our one to one with Chris, detailing what stage of production we are in, what we have done and what we have left to do with him, this was recorded 16th of April, after we came back from half term and main block of filming
RELEASED PROJECT
This is the first cut of the film we released, it was simply a test to make sure everything
This was our second attempt and the version that we screened, we wanted to make a 4K version but found out tat because we filmed on a canon 80D we couldn't do 4K as the camera didn't film in that quality.
This was the finished timeline that me & Tyche both worked on equally, Tyche focused on the footage whilst i did majority of the audio and effects heavy scenes. we tried our hardest to make the workload even, i'm the orange
This is a reel of the bloopers and outtakes from the film, we did this film with friends so had alot more fun on set then if it was just with actors we didn't know, so alto of the time we messed around a bit giving us funny outtakes that we put into here
FINAL CUT OF THE FILM
Behind the scenes photos
this iss our lettterboxd for the movie, we thought it would be a good idea to get it out their by putting it on the most popular movie review site out there right now. It also gives us more feedback on the film by having an open rating system
EVALUATION
THE EXHIBITION
This is the final thing we needed to do for college, to show of all our work to anyone who wants to see it and people we invited. We got to screen all our products to the college in our lecture theatre.
weekly diary
This is our weekly catch-up to show you what we accomplished that week and how we did, the challenges we faced as-well, our ones are in the form of videos as its easier to rely information is this format,
AERD - ARG uploads
These are the videos that are released for our ARG element of this project, these videos follow a choose your own adventure type layout, with clues being strung about the videos for the viewer to find and piece together the real story behind these videos. This portion of the ARG is a agency posing an a non-threatening business but something lies beneath the surface level of the videos.
