Planning: Recce

Before we could start filming we went on a few location "recce" shots, in which we went to many different potential shooting locations, took pictures, went home and evaluated which location would be the best to use. Here are some of the shots we got with an explanation on why we did and didn't choose to use each area

Whilst looking for a suitable forest location, we found a small marsh type area, and whilst it definitely looked like it would fit a horror film well, it was not what we were looking for and would not be very practical to film in (e.g slipping and damaging equipment).

We decided to film some shots at our school as that would fit the narrative and would make the film not only seem more realistic, but be even scarier to our target audience who all still attend school. 

Planning: Shooting Script

Planning: Call Sheet

Call sheets are very beneficial when we wanted to film, we gave out the call sheets to each of our group member as it helps you stay organised and on task, something that can be difficult when doing something such as filming. the call sheet informed about any necessary infomation and updates about the production of the film. My group in particular found using call sheets helpful as it allowed us to know exactly what to do and when to do it. It also helped us stay in contact with anyone if we needed to contact someone during a shoot.if an accident was to occur , the call sheet would be helpfull , if there was an accident to occur, we have the details of the members and any near hospitals where we are shooting.


 

Planning: Risk Assessment

Planning: Special Effect Preparation

We wanted to include gore in our ancillary products, so we decided to use fake blood to convey the sense of a horror genre. We used Tomato Ketchup to represent this.
