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

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

Further Poster Designs

These are refined poster ideas using Serif DrawPlus8 and our new photography!

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.

Film Production Companies

Warner Bros. Pictures produced films such as 'The Shining', 'House of Wax' and 'The Exorcist', which are highly popular horror movies. However, I feel that the use of this production company may induce preconceptions of our film being 'childlike', as the company is also well known for producing films such as 'Harry Potter' and classic Warner Bros. cartoons.

Paramount pictures distributed films such as 'Paranormal Activity', 'Rosemary's Baby' and 'Friday the 13th'. As a company they are very well known, and have produced popular horror films for decades. The same issue exists however, as the introduction may seem too upbeat for our psychological horror. The company does have associations with family films such as 'Mean Girls'. For this reason, we will probably research into more independent production companies that specialise in horror.


Twisted Pictures have produced films such as the 'Saw' series and 'Repo! The Genetic Opera', and are known for producing films that have a dark quality. I feel this production company's logo will look appropriate before our teaser trailer as it is on a black screen, which is how our teaser trailer opens. We will download this production logo and see how well they integrate together.
