Problems with filming

the last couple of weeks we have struggled with filming. Weather has limited us to filming as we cant have different weathers in different scenes of our film. Different lighitng will not give a good effect to the horror film. Also we had not realised that lighting could be such a problem. As our setting is in the woods, lighing is darker so we have to film before sun light goes. This coming week, we are planning on makign sure we have done all the filming to make sure we can edit before half term.

Our first film

The Strangers Video

This is a film that we have looked at and could possibly use some shots,angles and get a few ideas from.

Sound

We like the sound of Muse, Hysteria we think if we slowed it down a bit it could be a good piece of music to use for our film.

Review of The Strangers

In our lesson we tried looking for some music, we looked at sound effects, movie trailers and music videos.
We looked at a band called black emporor, we thought that there music was heavy metal so it would not sort our film.
We looked at a heart beat for a sound effect, we are debating weather to use this or not yet.
Finally we watched a few trailers e.g Doom, 28weeks later and the Strangers.
We found that the strangers really suited our film as this is like our film.
We could possibly use the music and we also have some good ideas for some shots. Here is the clip.

Script

This is the first part of our script. It is as much as we have filmed.


Script


Two girls walk out a house.
Girl 1: Bye dad
Girl 2: Bye!
Dad: Have fun and don’t go through the woods.

The two girls stumble round to the side of the house.
Girl 2: We are really late let’s take a short cut through the woods
Girl 1: No! You have heard the stories my dad told us
Girl 2: There all rubbish
Girl 1: Okay but just this once

They walk through the side gate towards the end of the garden and towards the woods.

Girl 1: I’m really not sure about this!
Girl 2: What’s the worst that could happen?

Girls walk through the gate which creaks and off into the woods. Over to the left you see a creature in the woods. The girls walk off into the distance and you see the creature following them.

Starting our film

We started to film our two minute opening of our film last night. We went to John's house as out the back of his house is the woods. We started about four but we finished about 4:45 as it got dark really quickly and we couldn't see anything in the camera. We managed to film different shots and we have enough work to start editing some today in our lesson. We will need to go back to John's house so we can film the rest of our opening, but will make sure we leave enough time to film enough of it.
