This is the first production vlog for our A-level Media film opening 'On Pointe'

In this Vlog it shows the process of the make-up for the darker side of Rosabella's character. 

Brand new title and narrative - 'On Pointe'

After a long discussion with the rest of the group, it has been decided that we are changing our film title and narrative completely. We did not think that we had enough good quality footage for our previous film 'Dark Hallow'. We also did not feel like we connected to the previous narrative enough to bring out the best in it.

On Pointe

The opening shot shows the female lead Rosabella dancing with a direct spotlight on her, she is then joined by the male lead Lewis who is her dance partner. They are shown to be rehearsing to the main theme from Tchaikovsky's 'Swan Lake'.

After they have danced for a while Lewis runs over to the mirror to rest his hand pressed against the mirror. A cut shot will then occur and it will show Rosabella dancing up to the camera, as she looks up we are able to see that her make-up has dramatically changed to more darker, dismal colours and her eyes are completely white. 

As Lewis pulls away from the mirror the audience will see a hand print of blood smudged against the mirror. The lights then flicker off and Lewis and Rosabella are face to face in the center of the room with a bright light illuminating just Lewis' face alone. As he looks down at his hands it appears that they are covered in blood, Rosabella then looks down and as she pulls her hand away from her stomach blood can also be seen on her hands.

The lights then flicker back on and Lewis is still against the mirror whilst Rosabella is practising, as if the events had never occurred. 

Rosabella's character will be using professional Ballet moves and will be on pointe throughout.

This inspired us to choose the name 'On Pointe' for our film opening.
