Planning for filming

Costume:

The two main characters will be wearing normal clothing for people who are going to a rural area to film a school project, such as hoodies, shirts, jeans, perhaps boots or wellingtons.

The"antagonist" will be wearing very dark clothing and something to obscure his facial features, such as a large coat or hood.

Props:

There will very little to no props, and if we were to include any then it would only be something that the "antagonist" would have, such as a weapon for example. however i very much doubt we would include this, since we would like to have a certain air of mystery surrounding him, an therefore the inclusion of a visible weapon would be very un-subtle.


Lighting-effect + equipment-

Since the entire sequence is to be flames outdoors, there is very little we can do about our lighting conditions, though we would prefer for it to be reasonably bright, since it would not realistic if the student filmmakers chose to film a wildlife program in the dark. Since the film is in the found footage shaky cam style, we will only use the tripod in once instance, which would be for the "wildlife film" portion of the narrative.

Make up/ hair-

As Josh is playing a dark and mysterious character we have decided to darken his face to keep his identiy hidden and give a fiflthy and un groomed look so the audience belive that he has been hiding out for how every many months or years an gives a almost tramp like impression.

Times + dates you want to film, including a back up plan.

We are going to be filming on the 6th which falls on a saturday. We have allocated ourselves a 2 hour filming slot and think this will suffice to get the shots we require. If these plans dont go to plan our back plans are to film for the following day, the 7th with the same time schedule as before.

Location

We have chosen our location carefully to find an open area that would be appropriate and suited to the type of opening we will be filming. The area is a patrially wooded, partially fielded area in the small village of Little Downham. The location we have picked is also easily accesible so there will not be the problem of getting there to film.

Actors

We have chosen for Lydia to play the protangonistic character becuase conventionally women are seen to be the more vulnerable and desirable in thriller films so by making Lydia the object of the opening sequence then we are following this convention. This also sets the film up quite well to keep the viewer insterested.

Fil, will be the camera man both in real life and for the opening sequence. From previous projects we have seen that Fil is the best with the camera so he was chosen to film and therefore he fell into the role of the camera man in the sequence.

Josh will be playing the mysteroius antagonistic, cloaked character within the opening sequence and we think he will be suited to this role well as he is good at acting so can move well across the frame to create a mysterious character.
