Shooting schedule

3rd October
Coffin scenes at Georgies house
Main shots

Need:

• Coffin
• Costume
• Equipment (camera, tripod, tape, batteries)
• Actress
• Crew

Problems that arose:

• Trains weren't working properly so Jenny was 2 hours late.
•  But we allowed plenty of time for filming and were controlling the light anyway so it didn't set us back much.
• Didn't sand down lid properly
• There were splinters that fell on Jenny so we had to stop filming to them clean up

24th October
Woods,  "chase" scenes
Last shots

Need:

• The appropriate location
• Costume
• Equipment (camera, tripod, tape, batteries)
• Actress
• Crew

Problems that arose:

• Georgie couldn't make it
• But we had the plan so we could just follow it
• The chase scenes looked bad on the Mac so we couldn't use most of them

21st November
Last minute decision end shot replacements
Photographs for the website and poster

Need:

• Coffin
• Make-up
• Costume
• Equipment (camera, tripod, tape, batteries)
• Actress
• Crew

Problems that arose:

• Some photos looked too posed
• Jenny got cold so we couldn't film outside for too long because she shivered in the shots

More filming, more photography

We have successfully done more filming and photography for our posters :) yay! So a BIG thank you to our actress Jenny, who once again had to clamber into a damp coffin, and cover her beautiful face in "dead" make up. Thanks :)



The following images have been slightly edited to contrast the light to create a more cinematic effect. For the make up we darkend around the eyes, paled up the skin and lips, and back combed the hair. We attempted to create the "gothic" look.   

Filming Day 2

Today, we went to some woods to film "chase" scenes. It was a lovely sunny day and although we weren't there for many, many hours, we still got all our footage and hopefully won't have to re-film.

Here are some pictures:

Consulting the ACTION PLAN!

Getting acquainted with the tree she was about to hide behind.

Going to another part of the woods to film more.

Thank you Jenny, for laying in leaves and repeatedly running down hills!

Filming =D

Well I personally thought this was a jolly good days filming. Thanks to Jenny again for being our brilliant actress, who is willing to do absolutely anything, even lie in a coffin for hours while we threw dirt at her. Love you Jenny =D
