Location

Our filming took place in three locations:


1. Abbotskerswell woods (shot from my bedroom window):



2. Ilsham woods Torquay

3. Bedroom


Feedback for practical.

In this lesson the whole class, showcased what they had so far. The feedback from the class as well as our teacher was...

Criticism 
  • Unfinished as we needed to add two more titles
  • Also the sound needed to be "more crisp"
  • Too short! only 50 seconds long
Positive
  • "Short but sweet"- The class enjoyed what we had so far despite it being short
  • The extremely quick sharp edit of the close up of the mask (along with the reinforcing high pitch noise) was "jumpy" and "exciting"
  • The hazy flashback scenes with the shadows was a "convincing reinforcement of what the story was portraying"

Production meeting two

Today we discussed the issue of slowing down the forest footage. We believe that this will increase impact in the flashback scenes and the change of pace will create enigma and tension.

Costume

The costumes we chose to use were fairly casual and simple. The killer of the film is dressed in dark clothes meeting the conventions of a stereotypical villain. The use of a white face mask helped build enigma and created tension in our opening scene.

Production meeting one

Today we finalized the times and dates for filming, we also completed the shooting guide for our film opening which provides us with a concise schedule to follow. We have arranged the shooting schedule around when our actors are available and have established a time when we are all able to film.
