Production Company Clip

Here is the clip we chose to do for our production Company. Our production company is called 'BCDM' Which stands for Beth, Cristi, Dan and Mollie.

Planning Our Filming:

Our team are all doing different A levels so by planning our days when we are all able to do the filming will help us get organised.

Thursday 29th November

• Cristi - She is making sure that all the costumes are together for the first shot of filming. This includes: Jogging shorts, Jogging top. She will also make sure that we have the appropriate props such as: Water bottle and iPod.
• Dan - He is making sure that we are able to record the dialogue and sound effects for the shot we will be filming on thursday.
• Mollie (Myself) - I will be filming the actual shot of the girl jogging a long the river making sure i get as many shots as possible so that we hae a variety to choose form and making sure we can get get the best to our achievment.
• Beth - She will be acting in the shot as the girl who is jogging so she is going to make sure she is in the right costume and she will be listening to what we will say to make sure the shot is how we want it and like our story board.

Thursdays filming will be the last part of our film as its the most easiest part and will take the quickest. The last part consists of a girl jogging and the crazy man is following her, this part will be what the actual film is about.

Friday 30th November 

Friday we will be filming the main part of our film where it is taking place in the house. This will take up a huge ammount of time which means we might not be able to get it all done on that day as we can only film it at night time as that is when it is set. So if we cant film it all that night we will arrange another night when all of our group is available to film.

Anamatic

Here is the video of our animatic of our storyboard:

Outfits, Hair & Make Up

For our opening we need to think of the outfits we are going to put each character in and also the hair and make up which will be styled for them. This is important to the mise en scene section of media, as it will show that we have thought about what the characters will look like and how we are going to represent the activity they are doing or the kind of person they are. Instead of uploading images of the exact outfits each character is going to wear, we can use images of the internet which show the look which we will be going for, the we will base our own outfits around the images we looked at.
There are 7 characters in our opening, some who are more prominent than others.

Casual look for babysitter

The main characters who we will be introduced to is the first girl who is babysitting, the killer and the final girl who goes on her run. Alongside these there is also the younger sibling being babysat, the parents of the girl who dies to begin with and the news reporter.

Girl babysitting at beginning
This girl is babysitting at home, so she is very casual and not in the slightest dressed up. Her hair will be put up to show that she is relaxed and comfortable, and her make up will be minimal, so again she is looking natural. To represent her being casual in her clothing we are going to have her in possibly pajamas to show she' simply lounging around, or loose, baggy clothes e.g. loose-fitting jumper to again emphasize the fact she is comfortable etc. We can combine the two of these ideas to create the best look her her. On the right is an image showing the casual look we could go for, though not identical, the baggy top with leggings shows her not paying too much attention to what she is wearing.


Girl on Run

 
Girl on a run
The girl who goes on a run will of course be wearing running gear, but taking into consideration the temperature we will be filming in we will decide carefully what the character will be wearing. Firstly, the girl will either be in running shorts/skirt or leggings with a loose fitting top as these will combine to show she is simply just going on a run. We will have a choice of giving her a jacket to wear also which of course will depend on the weather. She will also be wearing normal running shoes so that she simply looks like a girl going on a run.

Story Board

Here is our story board, out of our group Myself and Dan did the story board, i drew half of the pictures of the story board and drew the other half, I added the notes and information underneath each shot to give a little information on what we need to do when filming. In these descriptions box includes: What type of shot it is, What sound is in the shot and how long the shot is, this is because we need to make sure our work is exactly two minutes long and by doing this story board allows us to be organised.

Possible Locations For Our Sequence

Here are some possible locations and shot ideas for our sequence:

Location 1 - My House

The first location we need for our opening is a house which will be where the daughter is babysitting, this is a large part of our opening scene so we need to make sure that we choose a location where we will be able to capture all the right angles, it also needs to have a good filming space around the house as there will be several shots as we see the killer looking into her house from the outside  We have decided to use my house for this part of our opening as mu house has good angles from which we can see into her house and also her front door opens easily without a key, so this is a good way of the killer accessing her house. She also has good views from each room which enable us to film from the angles we wanted to.

The top right image is a shot from the staircase up to my second floor, this is a shot which we will see the killer going up, this works for our opening because the room on the back wall is the bathroom which the girl will be killed in, which can forebode what is going to happen as we will be able to hear the bath water running and possible see the girl moving about in the bathroom. This show also works well as it shows the closeness of the rooms which is needed when we see the killer walk from one room the other, this will build tension as we will see how close he is to the girl. The image on the left is from my younger sisters room, this will be useful for when the girl goes to check on her younger sister who is asleep in bed and goes over to the window to shut the blind while the mysterious man is watching her, the view from this window gives a good shot of the area where we will have POV shots of the killer coming towards the house. This shot will be earlier on in our opening and before this there will be POV shots of the killer walking towards the house The last shot is of the bathroom where the girl is going to be killed. The angle we will be using this room for is the POV shot of the dead girl where we are looking up at the dad who finds her body hanging over the bath. This room has a good space on the floor for the girls body to be slumped so it we'll look mor realistic rather than a little cramped space. Also the bath is in good line with the doorway so that when the POV shot is looking up towards her dad, it is at a good angle, and the dad doesn't haven't to walk any further around etc. to get the shot we want.

Location 2 - Beth's House

For the second section of our opening we needed a second house as we watched our next character get ready to go on her run. For this house we needed a shot where we could film by the front door and see a TV in the background as a news report on the attack of the first girl would be playing. The best house for this is Beth's as when you film from her front door you can see into her living area and the TV is at a diagnanol, this will allow for us to be filming the girl but with the TV running in the background which links together the first section to the current section.

Location 3 - The River

After we have filmed the girl leaving her house we need to film her running along the river, this is the next important part of our opening as we are re-introduced to the killer as her is watching her from inside the bushes. We decided to use the river which runs along Ware, but we are using the section of the river behind the library as there is a bridge which we want to use for the girl to run over and a bush opposite where the killer will be hiding.

Our Name Of Our Film

We wanted a plain and simple name but we wanted it to be effective and have a hidden meaning to give a mysterious kind of effect. We wanted something that has to do with revenge so the name we decided to come up with is Reprisal. Its another word that could mean revenge. We think this is plain and simple and effect, the next task we will be doing is a title picture that could be used for posters to advertise our film.
