Start of music process

We have added a heart beat from the sound effects and hope to create a whisper sound effect of our own which we will most probably record ourselves. We hope that this will create a tense atmosphere which will increase in tempo and volume until the door in the clubhouse slams stopping all sounds and beginning silence.

Film Outline



We did a film outline so we have a basic outline of what is going to happen at each point in our film. It allows us to see what type of shot we will use, what angle and a brief outline to what occurs at each point. This is a simple and quick way of understanding what we need to do in order to successfully do our film, with everything we need and want to be included, being so. 

Step Outline - Sound


A sound outline allows to know what sound we are going to be having at particular points in our film. 
It helps us to find the exact music we want, plan where it is going to be in our film and how long it will be on for. 
Our sound outline makes it a lot simpler, as we have a step by step guide. 

Story Board





These are the storyboards for our film.
The purpose of doing storyboards is to see what will be included in each shot, which shot flows on from one another, the angle, the shot type and the length of each shot.
It makes it a lot simpler and easier when it comes to filming as we know exactly what we are doing, what needs to be included and what is coming next.
From our storyboards we now have a clear outline of our film.

Make-up Design Sheet

Although we are not making drastic changes to our actress' appearance, there are several important features that we feel will work well.
With the make up design sheet we can anaylse a shot from a film to see what we want our victim to use in our film, to make it more believable and realistic.
We are not focusing on make up or costume to form our victim, instead focusing on facial expressions (as above) and body language to portray it as this emphasises that our victim is a 'normal' girl/

Recee Sheet - The Clubhouse



This is the recee sheet for our location of "the clubhouse" It is situated within wollaton park which is also taken into account for this piece.
We did a recee sheet to check our location is suitable for our film, to be sure it would be possible to have the light and sound we need and for us to check the health and safety of our location.
Location photographs also let us see what areas we can incorporate in our film, how we can frame our shots and the composition.

LIGHTING DESIGN

In this shot we used a fill light a back light and a key light. We used all three because it's quite a long shot from the person so we had to fill in more shadows.
In this shot we used a fill light, a back light and a key light. We used all three because there were still some shadows that needed to be filled in and the background was quite dark.
This shot was pretty similar to the first one it was quite far away so we had to fill in more shadows and dark places by using all the lights.

Test Shot

This shows the transformation of our actor to our character, we did the test shot to see what our actress would look like as the victim and whether the look works for our film. We could see from the two pictures that she does look like a victim in the second photograph, through the use of costume and body language/facial expression.

The Script























The purpose of doing a script is to get an in-depth knowledge as to exactly what happens in every point of the film, to what is happening, to what is being said, to the light, to the sound etc. 
If someone were to read the script they would understand what happens in our film, but in great detail - which the film outline and storyboard do not necessarily show. 

Film Outline

This is our film outline giving a brief description of things such as the timings and structure of our piece.
Using a film outline allows to know the exact timing of each shot, the length of each section, the angle, shot type, a brief description of what is happening and finally we can calculate the total length of our film.
