Effect 1 - Knife throws
a) What the effect is?
Makes it look like one character has thrown a knife and it has stuck in somebody else's body.
b) Why it is needed and how it is supposed to make the audience feel.
It is supposed to be a moment of shock, showing the camera's vulnerability, to make the audience feel scared and worried for the character, a moment showing the reality of violence
c) How the effect works.
It is made using two separate shots that cut during a whip pan. The first shot is character A throwing the knife, then whip pan. The second shot whip pans to character B with the knife in them.
d) What materials you need?
Projectile - knife, or paper throwing stars. Some fake blood.
e) Proposed costs.
Relatively cheap, could use a kitchen knife from home or origami paper stars we can make. The fake blood we could borrow from college or it is cheap from a shop.
f) Camera and stage directions.
Shot 1 - camera positioned between two characters, pointed at knife-thrower, whip pan after knife thrown - actor throws knife in direction of opponent
Shot 2 - camera in same position whip pans from knife-thrower to recipient - recipient clutches the knife that appears to be stuck in them
g) Risks and how to make them safe.
Actors getting cut by the knife - the thrower handles with care and when thrown the recipient is not in the way
The recipient doesn't actually get stabbed - they hide it in their armpit
We will make a risk assessment sheet for this special effect which will make this effect look dangerous in the film but not dangerous on set. We will most likely decide to use something else instead of a sharp projectile, just for safety.
a) What the effect is?
Fake Blood and Stabbing in the character's neck.
b) Why it is needed and how it is supposed to make the audience feel.
To show the seriousness of violence, even in cartoons. Can shock the audience.
c) How the effect works.
The camera shows the blood squirting from the character's neck and the wound is revealed. The audience see previously that the characters were tussling over a knife so the knife does not have to be present in the shot. There are several ways we could shoot this: over-the-shoulder of the stabber and we see the blood squirt out from the side. Or from the side, and we see everything, perhaps using a CGI knife instead of a real knife. We will decide how to shoot it in the effect pre-vis.
d) What materials you need?
Prop knife
Blood squirt mechanism - capsule or tube
e) Proposed costs.
Depends on what we use for the prop knife - we might buy one or we use a knife from home or we decide to CGI the blade
The blood might be a bit more expensive - we might need to buy it, whether it is a capsule or tube
f) Camera and stage directions.
Over the shoulder shot - camera behind the stabber on knife-hand side, character reaches up to Breadward's neck and the blood squirts out by bursting the capsule or squeezing the blood of the tube
Alternatively, from the side - the camera is a two shot from the side, we see the same action from the side, the blood squirts forward and to the side.
g) Risks and how to make them safe.
If we are using a real knife, we will have to be careful, we can't actually use it for the stab.
We will have to read the packaging of the fake blood to see if it has any guidance on things to avoid.
We might not even use a knife in the actual shot, we can CGI it in after.
The effect mock-up will outline how we will be able to do it safely.
Script Draft One:
Feedback:
Maybe youngman and breadward can have a witty hero/villain back and forth while fighting. That’s a pretty typical spooperhero thing
-From Jem with love and good wishes I hope you don’t end up in a YMCA
I love how cheesy this is, it’s fantastic.
The script could use some tightening up and I agree with the banter maybe being fun!
