The last in our 3 week tasks and this is time it is one shot film , even though my mind and heart is set on Interactive Spaces , i was always interested in doing experimenting in film and shorts , ever since i used to make short animation films using a game/program called “The Movies” which allowed you to make films using pre-animated scenes , although the game did not sell well , which led to Lionhead studios – the developer of the game withdrawing support to it from 2009 , but the game gain a strong cult following and members sooned started up their own website dedicated to it , Tmunderground.com (although nower days it is open to other animation software such as iclone and the more recent Moviestorm) for better examples of the possibilities capable with the game take look at these made by other members of the site.

After we were introduced to one shot film and soon put into our groups, which includes me, Ollie, Rob and MG. At first we decided to film a sort horror film using the tunnel in the Arboretum, but we soon changed our idea completely after we found out that so many groups were using the same location, this name we wanted to go with the idea of a ghost visiting her own grave, we placed our actress (MG) in front of her own grave (named Emma Marsh) and she leaves into the background and eventually fades away. This is what my other crew member Ollie had to say on the project:

his films causes the audience to be unsure as to whether the character visiting the gravestone is the ghost of the buried or a younger relative with the same name, and contributes successfully to the eerie feel we aimed to create. I feel that this short film project was successful, bearing in mind that it was a first attempt. We achieved our goal in terms of what type of mood and thoughts we wanted to plant in the audience’s minds. One small think I would change given a larger budget was a more intricate support system for the camera as the shot slightly shaky using a tripod without moving support.
