Audition #1

AUDITION 01

The story

Characters.

Character moodboard

For the two anonymous characters, I wanted a very dark and sisterly feel to it, they would almost mirror each other but they would also be very different. I want the creepiness to coencide with beauty, and them beaing faceless and very covered, it takes away alot of the sensualnes, that would come from the characters, face and body being shown, so i will pariattly show their mouths and eyes, their hands and hair. their afeet and ankles but limited it to that.





Main character.




The main charcter i want to be softer, no harsh lines or dramatic things to her.
her clothes should like all the other characters shift. and change. She's

Band website

I want a simple band website as the front home page to replcate what the XX do also thinkinbg about adding their songs on the front page like this.

Digipak outline

The outline for my digipak is going to be a shot from the video, but since i haven't began shoting it i have done a draft so it can be visual.

 and as the CD is opened wider there is the series of photos of the characters

Storyboarding

Opening sequence

   The opening sequence, is based from the Syndromes short film, and the voice over will be based on Hurricane and Runaway. It will introduce the charcters to the audience and tell a little bit and forshadow the story




Escape



 Escape in my mind is based on the psyco the shgower scene but i want to romantisece it, the portaryed horror is the one in the shower and we follow our main charcter as she moved around the house, walking up the stairs to him.



Tied Together



 Tied together is the middle video so the climax in the storyline, i feel the characters interate alot more and also are shown beside loads of imagary. to deliever the messages of sensory, super close up on body parts, dialated eyes, and parted lips, shaky hands and sweat.

Mercuary











Mercuarry being the end of the film is slow, but very cool, i feel like the video should disperse and the myserties slightly sold or revaled, the twins should show they faces and the smoke in the woods reveal its origine. it should also come full cirlce with the characters faces. 



The twins

The refrence from the picture strongly shows the bases of the two characters, half of their faces shown and they mirror each other.   

Production scheduel.

I plan on shoot on January and leading to the beginning of Febuary. Have all the work filmed and orginized to start editing so I then have febuary to complete everything.

Shooting the project in its own e.g the songs and characters will take up to 5 days or less and then a full day in londoin which could fall into 2 days.But the next week will be followed with taping effects, like smoke and ink effects that I can add.

NeonFaith

Neonfaith is a mysterious Indie Electronic project based in Queens NYC and active since 2012. The line up consists of lead singer Megan Faye, Lay and Fef. The trio produces adventurous sounds blending various genres, Electronic, Trip Hop, Psychedelic and Synth Pop with deep vocals. Neonfaith singles released on the Internet include: Escape, Tied Together and Mercury along with Remix of Lana Del Rey and Little Dragon tracks

 My review of Escape, when introduced to the band through word of mouth, Escape was the song that I heard, The picture is very true to the song, i always imagine the busy city. I always think of

  London or a bustling city as we follow the character through it, as she goes around town, dancing to the song uncaring of her surroundings  but then theirs this dark synthesis that makes me think of a darker character, in an abandoned loft, TV static but watching, I'll call this person 'the executioner' , who smashes the static TV having an effect soon the main character in the streets, she glitches.

With tied together, I find the lyrics to be very influenced  unlike the other songs, the beat is a lot more simple, the journey into this musical trance relies on the lyrics, its very visually and sensory based.
It captures a beat and still has this slow and carefree style to it.

I think that Mercury is a very eerie and slow paced song that show finish the video. The ending like Escape is very unexpected but unlike escape instead of it a solid track that liquidates and melts at the end, its a liquid, fluid track that becomes a solid at the end.
The pace of the song at the end is very memorable so to place it as the last track means that it will be left with the audience and that's what I want.

Using all the tracks for me is very crucial , so I thought about adding their remixed version of Carmen by Lana Del Rey, as the promo video, looking at very recent music videos they have a teaser for the Music video. So this would be the soundtrack. The focus would be on the mysterious twins, their actions, them being like mute narrates, all seeing in a sense as the world of other characters go out of control around them.

I love this song, And i always see it as a separate but joined project, an introduction to the cast and crew, a lot of fun, with a feel of Grimes Oblivion type of shooting. where we perform the song in a crowd, dancing and hopefully not being embarassed as much.
