PLANS

Before we film...

  • Find a secure location where we are able to film, and that the surroundings link with our film genre, horror. 
  • Make sure everything is in place, and that costume, props such as, a baseball bat and other subject matters are organised such as the script.
  • Fully check equipment and complete risk assessment to ensure the place is safe.
  • Make sure we have access to contacts of people within our group. Therefore, to ensure that members of the group can participate on that specific day. 
  •  Follow the plot to ensure that the film is finished to a high standard.

 Setting/Dates & Times...

  • Setting: Located on a quiet road on the borough of Stocksbrigde, Sheffield. Although, the road is situated near Mallards Equestrain Centre. Perhaps, we thought of this area due to the fact that, it would be an interesting and effective place due to the quiet surrounding, following horror conventions of isolation. Furthermore, here it creates a dark, dull grey atmosphere therefore, creating tension upon the audience and conveying a frightening visual image. 
  • Times/Dates: We often film at night throughout the week or on weekends from around 7:30pm onwards therefore, it portrays the dark setting that creates a sinister atmosphere.

On the day... 

  • The group will travel to the specific location stated above, in order to meet inbetween 7:30 - 8:00 therefore, the surrounding is dark therefore, we can use low key lighting to create an uncomfortable setting. As we arrive, we will carefully set up the provided equpiment such as, the camera and tripod to make sure eveything is secure before we begin to film. On the first day filming, within the group we will swap roles of either being a director or an actor therefore, we will film a couple of scenes consisting each character. We will mainly film the scenes where each of the characters consist of a monologue to portray their social group such as, being male or female also, their reactions and emotions upon the subject focus within our horror film. As we film these certain scenes, it will relate them to the horrific images within our scene. 
  • Each day we film we will focus upon different aspects within. Therefore, separating the film in to different secttions making it manageable and effective. 

What to buy... 

  • Clown mask therefore, the actor playing the role of the clown composes their sense of personality and identity.
  • Clown outfit such as, a tracksuit in order to show that he is casual and portray they are not from a similar background as of the other characters. As they are typically represented as informal and folksy. We thought of this idea as it is original, differentiating other horror films such as, IT as they tend to appear wearing a colourful and vivid costume therefore, this explores aspects of mise - en - scene. 
  • Baseball bat in order to use as a prop to show the clown's sense of power and authority over the other characters within the film.
