POST-AUDITIONS

This is the fake head, we will apply makeup to make her look more dead, and dirty and we will make her hair more messy, you won't see a lot of her face though.


During the flash back we can see a young boy and 4 young girls which we have chosen and they are all very committed to their roles. We will also have to ensure we have a picture of the 4 girls when they are younger as there will be crosses on two of the girls faces, a circle on the next victim which is who we will be filming and another girl with nothing - yet. This will show the audience that the storyline is clearly going to be about the next victim.
Below is the picture we will be using, that the victim will find next to the dead body.

After our auditions we did make a decision on who we wanted to play our characters. Below are their names and pictures so that you can know who they are;

Amber Tweddle: Playing our main girl - Jess





Brett Denton: Playing the boyfriend - Darrell and he will also play the killer as we only see his hands in gloves.

Main Title.

This is the image of my group holding auditions for the roles within my film production. As you can see, we had to interview various people for the protaganist and the 2 victims and these people were good but weren't chosen. This location was used purely for size and equipment such as the mac computers to carry out effective auditions.

The filming is still in progress as we want to make it perfect and much more effective than our preliminary and therefore using the preliminary task as a guideline of what types of c,a,p,m's work well within our film opening. We have also had difficulties with the lighting of the ending of our filming and is quite complex to keep the continuity effectively. One way in which we have tried to solve this problem is to get various flashlights/torches in order to make it much brighter but the audience can still recognise it's nighttime.

The 2nd alleyway location we will consider. Here is a vlog!

This location would be used in our filming to indicate an eerie feeling and we would also let slip that this alleyway would be the next location in which the next victim would be murdered! we also thought it was good because at night it has a scary feeling to it and was also quite local to where the rest of our filming would be.

We think this would be a good, effective location to use also because it is mostly quiet at night-time when assessing it previous to our filming and also because it has some lighting which will make our filming much more easier. Also, the surroundings such as the trees, litter and people's clothes within the film will make the audience react to this particular scene as a negative location for the victim to be in. However, one little problem is that some parts of the alleyway has uneven ground and can be quite muddy.

This location can offer many ways to create a freaky effect to our film and to have a nerve-wracking effect to the audience e.g. the scene where the actor will discover the black bag containing the dead body in and therefore creates a scary scene for the majority of the viewers.

This is one vlog we have produced showing a possible location!

This is the location that we will use in our filming as it has less negatives regarding our filming e.g. the scary surroundings, the ground is much more even and benefits us when trying to produce difficult camera shots such as the birds-eye view shot, pan etc. and gives us much more assistance as the location is very local to where me and my partner live.

One disadvantage of this location is the lack of lighting in our location as the lamppost nearby is not working and therefore will create problems however we have found a solution to this by using our own lighting to proceed with this location. Also, this location is near our previous scenes and will make our filming much easier and much more effective. 

Here is the video for our Preliminary!

We had a limited time to complete our preliminary task but we tried to construct more unique camera shots. We didn't use any diagetic sound as we didn't feel that music was relevant for our filming.

After getting feedback from our teachers, we were told of the mistakes that were made and how the filming wasn't very fluent.

The problems we had were most importantly the time scale we had to complete this as it was very limited however we managed to complete it. Another problem was trying to maintain the continuity towards the end of the clip as there were people coming in and out of the end location and therefore had to use effective, clever shots to maintain our continuity.

We intend to encounter these problems by having a good organised time scale, hard working and influential team members. Continuity can be effective by having better organised times for each stage for our filming.
