Shooting Schedule

Due to struggling to find an exact time at the moment when I will be able to shoot due to my actors not being able to film I am going to have to use examples for when I will be filming. This therefore means I will not be able to use exact dates. Although, When I do end up actually filming I will make a new blog post to explain thing more thoroughly.

For the majority of my filming I am going to need to have cloudy days but also the odd day that is sunny with a bit of cloud. The cloudy days are purely so that it helps build up a bit more atmosphere to show that not everything seems all happy and cheery. The sunny days that also have a bit of cloud will be ideal for shooting the happy scene such as the very first scene when the two girls are walking down the road together. The rest of the shooting will need to be done of a night time in the dark as this is what will really help to create the spooky atmosphere that is needed.

Cloudy/Sunny with a bit of cloud scenes:
When shooting outside for the out door scenes, I personally think shooting from around 10:00am till about 13:00pm would be ideal as the weather wouldn't change a lot it would pretty much stay the same due to lighting. Also a lot can be filmed within this amount of time.

Night time scenes:
Night time scenes can simply be done whenever as long as it's dark and I have things such as outdoor lights and torches to help put a bit of light on the scene. As long as there is no rain and its not too windy out this will be perfect for the atmosphere. I could also try filming on a windy night to see which atmosphere works best out of the two. Also the scenes that need to be done indoors can be done too 


For example:


24/12/2014
Tonight would be a perfect night to film out doors as there is a very slight breeze and the lighting is perfect for the more intense scenes.

25/12/2014
Today would be a perfect day to shoot the sunny scenes due to the day being forecasted with nothing but complete sunshine.This would be a good day to do the equilibrium of the film. (Ufnrotunatley I forgot to print screen the weather forecast for that day but I did manage to get a picture of the weather itself.)


12/01/2015
Today would be a perfect day too shoot all the scenes that need to be on a cloudy day to help show the disequilibrium of the film.

Audience Feedback On Film Logo Ideas

Here I have collected some audience feedback on my film logo ideas.
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/2Z9VCXJ

I had simply advertised my survey on facebook to see what my friends opinions were. I had advertised my survey in this particular way as I know that my target audience are known for using social media an awful lot.

Risk Assessment

Risk Assessment

Company Name: PR Productions
Production Title: Best Friends
Date Of Risk Assessment: 24/12/2014
Director: Phoebe Roche
Risk Assessment Conducted By: Phoebe Roche

As you can see here I have created a risk assesment. The reason being for me creating this is purely because when it comes to filming my trailer there are a few possibilities that things could potenially go wrong and may end up causing an injury. Creating a risk assesment and forms to fill in allows my actors to understand that something could potentially happen but they are also signing to say they agree to the terms and conditions for working within my production.

Script/Stage directions for my trailer

When it comes to speech within my trailer not every scene will have speech in it.

Scene 1: 
*Sandi and Jamie will both be walking down the road just having a normal conversation and laughing* 
(This conversation can be about anything to make it more realistic as it wont be heard anyway) 

Scene 2: 
*Sandi is currently sat alone on the floor in her bedroom, she will be very sheepish and also trying to talk quietly as though she is hiding something*
Sandi: We just need to hide all of the evidence, yeah, everything needs to be removed out of the house and whatever happens, Jamie CAN NOT! find out. (Quietly, serious but also very sharp)Jamie: (Jamie is stood behind the door listening with a face of pure shock)

Scene 3: 
*Sandi and Jamie will simply be in the woods running around.  We will then see how the girls discover a box and that they struggle to open it, they then decide to get rid of it due to not being able to open it, this then leads to Jamie passing out*
Jamie: Hey, Sandi look! (Jamie says suspiciously as she picks up a box)
Sandi: Dont touch it! it doesn't look too great (She says sheepishly as she takes a step back)

Scene 4:

*Sandi simply starts to make her way into the bathroom late at night, she soon notices that the security light from the back garden has randomly come, This leads to Sandi to suddenly stop. She then decides to investigate.*
Sandi: (very slowly Sandi walks over to the bathroom window, opens the window and leans out, she speaks in a very shocked yet confused manor.) "J-Jamie, is that you?!"

Scene 5:

*Jamie will be stood over Sandi holding a knife.*
*Sandi soon wakes in shock, gasps, backs away and screams*
Sandi: Jamie what's gotten into you! 

Scene 6:

*Jamie's will have her head down to the floor and will slowly lift her head* 
Jamie: I wish I knew

Scene 7:

(The next shots will be several ones merged together)
*Sandi will be walking down the alley way in the dark when she notices the figure at the end with a knife* 
*Sandi will be looking in the mirror and Jamie will appear behind her*
*Jamie will be pulling a knife out of her jacket*
*Jamie will be knocking on the porch door in the dark*
Sandi: I don't know what's gotten into her, does she know what I've done? it's something to do with the day she found that box definitely, it's up to me to find that box and find out what's happened to her
*Sandi will be then walking back to the woods on the phone as she is having this conversation* 

Scene 8:

*Sandi will be grabbing the box that was left in the woods*

Jamie: "your no friend, I'm friends with the devil now" 
*Sandi then will be pushed down the stairs by Jamie*
*Jamie will begin to walk towards the camera, lift her head and scream at the camera.*

Soundtrack For My Trailer.

When I had very first created my media synopsis I had added a very small soundtrack which helped create the mood and tension when watching. I had also added this soundtrack again into one of my key scenes as it was really effective and I personally think it worked well. 

The song is an old famous soundtrack 'Teddy Bears picnic' although this is not the original. I decided I didn't want to use the original as it is too upbeat and doesn't fit with my genre, a horror movie. This then had led to me searching for a slowed down version on youtube. I had looked at many videos before I had come across this one and there was no sound tracks that I liked. I also struggled to find a slowed down spooky version. I knew that there was a version like this as I have heard it in videos before but I couldnt remember as to where I had heard it. After searching many things on youtube, trying to shazam the song, googling things etc on youtube I had come across this very strange video (located at the top) and decided to have a look at it. The song used within the background is exactly what I wanted to use due to it having a spooky effect on it. It also helps create the right atmosphere. Now, due to copyright laws I thought it would be best to send a message directly to the creator of this video and ask for there permission to use the audio within it. This doesn't necessarily mean I will get a reply but hopefully I will.

My storyboard

This is my first draft of my storyboard. From my research and planning I have taken things such as shot types into consideration. I have also thought about the miss-en-scene which has been listed in the comments section. I have made sure I have made my storyboard very descriptive and also added images. This is so that it will be more interesting to look at and also easier to process when it comes to recording each scene. Due to me drawing small images too this is a help as it gives me a vague idea of how I want each shot to sort of turn out.

November Feedback.
