Filming journey

How we got to our location?

We first waited for the bus to arrive at 10:30 but we had to wait an extra 10 minutes as the bus was late, the bus journey took us 10 minutes to arrive at the oxshott bus stop and then we took 7 minutes to arrive to oxshott woods

Friends in the group came to the location a week later to check out the location they took some pictures, in the pictures it looks very gloomy and dark which will suit our film genre

This is a google map of the location oxshott, Leon and I arrived by bus and kieran arrived by train, we can see the train station and we Leon and I met him at the station.

Learning on how to edit a video

Edits for our video

In adobe premiere pro i can use an effected called clone effect which makes the moving object or character to look like we can see and after image this can also tell the audience the moving character is extremely fast.

third horror idea

3.Three teens are walking, on the way to the party on the cold night one of the teens decides to make the group take a short cut but threw a contaminated zone as the walk through the short cut the stumble across a man that is struggling by holding his head and is barely walking what we know is that is the start of the apocalypse) then teens think it is someone going to the party as he is dressed in a weird outfit and they try to help them as soon as they ask any questions the man turns into a zombie and suddenly the teens are attacked by the man that is now a zombie but before he is questioning and explain what’s going on but in a struggling manor then the next scene would be the teens being chased by the zombie and the girl falls over and because both boys are potential  love interest it’s a competition to win her over but only one of the boys makes it out of the attack alive, then the opening will end and cut to the title.

second horror film idea

2.We will have a blank screen and then it blurs into a phone ringing, the phone go to voicemail the wife says "hey honey hope your okay haven't hear from you all day love you lots"... and then it jumps to the man clutching his head in the corner turning into the zombie with his phone on the floor saying "one miss call from..." this makes the audience feel intense and worried because they don't know what just happened or why it happened

Props for our Working in progress film

Props for our short film

The props we are going to use will be zombie make up kit this is because we will be having a scene when a man gets bit by a random person who attacked the man, he loses his sanity and starts screaming then the zombie chases the main character in the film

We are using amazon to buy our props for our horror inspired film

Props

The zombie make up kit will cost us at least £6 and will be a big help in making our film more realistic and might make our audience believe its real

Blinded Eye Sockets Latex Scar Application will also help us make the short film because it will make it more creepy and scary this will cost us £10

Fake blood will help as we can make it look like someone is bleeding and we looked up some pictures of people using fake blood and it looks very realistic, it will cost us £2.28 which is very good price and we will receive two tubes of fake blood

first horror film idea

Horror film idea

1.At the start of the film we will have a person on the phone talking to someone, then intensive music starts playing the background the camera changes rapidly to a window everything becomes silence we start hearing foot steps with each step you could hear the wood give way, the door squeaks open and a man looking down a knife on his right hand he moves his head up and the woman starts screaming because the man doesn't have any eyes he starts to charge at her but the camera stays fixed in one location and we see blood flying across the room and the lady screening in pain and terror
then we cut into another scene if zombies chasing out of a building and we will put some exploding effects to show that the source of the zombies come

Preliminary task

Preliminary task

In the preliminary task we had three tasks to complete, the first task was to get a camera shot of the door opening and then zooming in to the persons hand opening the door, this camera shot was very smoothly edited when we see the scene change and see the door close at the same time as the door opened, when editing the short videos we add some special effects like bits of the video fading to black and fading to another part of the video, The second task was to capture shot reverse shot where we record two people talking and having the camera change to the other person each time they talk.
