I created this health and safety form, to make our group consider the dangers of filming on an unknown outdoor location. It was neccersary to consider all the aspects above to ensure that our group would be safe while filming and we would be aware of what dangers could occur and we was ready to react responsibly to them.

Storyboard

 

Shot list:

Costume

For our costumes we had to think about what costumes would best suit our characters and represent their personalities best so we decided for my character Kayleigh that i would wear everyday clothing to try and justify that this was a real life situation, However we had her in light clothing to give her the feel off innocents to make her seem vunerable, but also had the dog as a prop for her to almost make it seem as if she has a form of protection. We then had Georgia's charecter Clara who was the dead friend dressed all in black and a white face to emphasis that she was dead, also being dressed in all black connotes her being a dark shadow that follows Kayleigh around this contradicts Kayleigh's out fit of innocence and displays that she has a dark past that she is trying to hide.

Location Shots

Embedded below is a slideshow created using Animoto to present our location shots from Bentley Priory Location, where we filmed the main parts of our horror movie.

This location worked well for our theme of a horror film because we had the traditional eery atmosphere created from being in woods and we also found a small dark hut that we used in our movie, these where effective because it reiterates the typical conventions of horror movies where the victim is isolated with no where else to run to. Overall this location was effective for our horror movie, it gave us the outcome that we wanted which was a scary, creepy place for a young girl to be on her own, which helps to build up the tension of the opening, an area like a forrest also gives spaces for the protaganists to hide like behind trees, this could give the audience the feel that they are being watched this is the perfect feel for and opening of a horror movie.
