Production: Filming

Below are pictures we are using as evidence to show us filming:

Update: Filming

We were planning to film on the 10th February because we were all free and prepared, however we had to rearrange due to weather conditions. We were hoping for an overcast setting, however the snow would have made it impossible to film in and create the setting we were aiming for. So instead we arranged to film on the 16th, fully prepared and equipped.

Planning: Storyboard for opening

Below you will find the finished storyboards for our opening:

 

Planning: Mise-en-scene for our opening

As far as Mise-en-scene for our opening, we decided to have very minimal props and costume because we thought that his would be more effective for what we want in our opening. 

Props:
Candle and a lighter: We want to use these to show a mark of respect for our victim and will help the audience to get a better understanding of what is happening. 
Flowers: Again, to show respect and to help the audience get a better understanding. We aim to get red flowers to represent blood and death. 
Photo Frame: This will hold a picture of the victim, that will seem like his family have been there before to how their respects. 
Picture of victim: This will either be a school photo or we will create a picture that appears to be a school picture, to show that our victim was young. 
Group picture: This will be an ordinary picture of all of the friends sat on a sofa acting as though they are at a party or something. 
Crossed out group picture: This will be replaced when the friends go to pick up the phone and will be a sign from the killer that they are next. Their faces will be crossed out along with Deet's.
iPhone: We need an iPhone as that is one of the things that the friends pick up and watch the video.
Video: We need a video of the victim and his friends at a party, that will be playing when the friends pick up the phone. 

Costume: 
All of our costumes may be slightly changed due to weather conditions when filming
Ellie: For Ellie's costume, we wish to have in casual clothes, but have her be a bit more feminine than Lisa's character, therefore it will determine characteristics and personalities just through the costume because we don't have any dialogue in our opening. The costume will include: Top, jeans, dolly shoes and a coat, however we wish for her to wear a bit more makeup   than Lisa. Due to weather conditions, Ellie had to wear trainers.

Tom:  For Tom's costume, he will be really casual but with a slight edge, preferably dark clothes, characterising him as a more deep character. This costume will include: Jeans, black top, black coat, trainers and hat. 

Lisa: For Lisa's costume we wanted her to be more of a tomboy style, so her costume will include: Jeans, top, trainers and a hoodie. We also want her to wear less makeup than ellie to represent her being the more tomboy out of the two.
