Group edit, individual edit and final script for 'GAZE'

Gaze from Dan Bissill on Vimeo.
This is the groups edit of gaze. I believe on the whole, the fim was a success and was definately original. The script has been edited to suit the group and have added a few more scenes in for comical purposes!



Gaze individual edit from Dan Bissill on Vimeo.

This is my individual edit of the film gaze. I have shortened some of the unecessary clips and have added  smoother transitions. Additionally the music has been changed as i wanted to experiment with different moods that music can have on the audience. Also, some slow motion effects have been introduced to give the 'car' scene some more tension.

And I won't be there to see it

Teddy gets up and starts walking off.

2 INT. BEDROOM. (teddy walks into shot) The Teddy finds the house of its owner. It enters the house, climbs upstairs (camera from teddy’s P.O.V or follows it) and goes to the girl’s bedroom. There is a row of photos perfectly lined on the window sill. A desk with a pile of study books, homework and a laptop. There is a cork board on the wall with a perfectly cut out exam timetable to leave no excess. (camera cuts to show each thing the shows teddy leaving room)

I've always been invisible. Had the ability.

My mummy had me for a limited time only

Teddy exits the room.

3 INT. LIVING ROOM. (camera facing teddy then cuts to show girl entering) Girl walks homework under her arm and delicately places it on the coffee table. The Teddy is sat on the sofa and she sits on him. (camera is facing side so you can see teddy being sat on)

I could just tell you some things. Things you don't want to hear. Things no one should have to hear

(close up)The Teddy snorts a line of cocaine (crushed up paracetamol) and injects himself with heroin (syringe from a fancy dress shop filled with water)

But it can't be your fault

(medium shot of the teddy) The sound of a car engine is heard followed by a horn, the Teddy turns around (faces camera then camera goes behind the teddy to show the car) and is struck by a car. It flies through the air and lands on the ground.
