Filming

Below are two action shots, which show Chloe Connell and I fulfilling our main roles.

 

 

This is an image I took of Chloe, and it shows her setting up the camera, in preparation for filming.

 

 

 

 

This second image shows me directing one of the actors of our title opening. I also starred in the opening as 'Gretchen'.

 

It was essential that Chloe and I, established who would take on what role on the day of filming. This kept us organised, and we knew where we had to be.

 



Health and safety form

 
Chloe created the health and safety form. This makes us more conscious and aware, of potential risks and dangers which may occur during filming. This allows us to know what measure to take, in certain emergencies for particular situations. By considering the well being of those involved in the filming process, their safety can be ensured.

Script

Chloe Connell created a script for our horror film opening; by using Celtx which was then presented through slideshare. This will help our actors, as they will know exactly what they have to say. This will enable the filming process to run smoothly, as the actors will feel more confident through having a set dialogue.

Shot list

Chloe Connell and I both halved the roles of completing the shot list. Chloe completed the first half, while I completed the second. This allowed us to work together as a team. A shot list would help with our organisation, it tell us what shot to film and how. This makes it easy to film, and also makes it easy for the actors. This is as they would know what action to fulfil, as well as what particular part of the dialogue to say.

Storyboard

Chloe Connell took the role of drawing out the storyboard for our horror title opening. Once having done this she uploaded it through SlideShare. Although we may not stick to the storyboard completely (due to changes), it tells us exactly what, who and where to film. This allows us to work through the filming process quickly and smoothly, as it is easy to follow. We ensured the use of shot reverse shot, 180 degree rule and match on action. Shot reverse shot was used in a brief discussion between 'Tiffany' and 'Gretchen'. This made their conversation flow effortlessly, as well as seem more realistic.

Costume list

I conducted a costume list using polyvore. We have intended our victims to dress in clothing, which connotes their young (teenage) age. Our first victim will be in a large coat, leggings, fur hat, boots and a creme side bag. This connotes that the victim is fashion conciousness, as well as being fashionable. This is typical of female victims in horror movies, as they are typically seen as 'pretty' and self conscious of their appearance. This will be for our character of 'Tiffany'.

Our second victim will be dressed in a parker coat, dark jeans and dark vans (shoes). Vans are a popular chose of footwear amongst teenagers. This makes our victim seem like an ordinary teenager. The dark choice of dark colours make our victim seem conservative, which may not make them stand out. This is typical of horror movies, as it is usually those who are least expected to be attacked, that are sought out by the villain.
