Health and Safety Issues After Filming

I did not encounter any problems regarding health and safety in the woods. However I did have to clear an area with twigs and plants with thorns on them, where for one scene my actor had to fall onto (She was not harmed throughout the filming).

Costumes





















The costume that the killer will be wearing will be a black hoodie, grey tracksuit bottoms,black gloves and a black mask. This gives the killer a fairly modern day look and also looks very intimidating.


I have been advised not to use music from artists due to copyright. I have heard from friends and other people in my class that the music from the well known game, Call of Duty Black Ops, that the music they use in their game is very good and would suit my opening scene well.

Background Story of My Film

The background story of my film is that a teenager goes out to hunt down his cousin who framed him for a murder he didnt commit and now he is out for revenge. He finds his cousin and kills her in the local wood with a gun. But then he wakes up completley unaware of what he did, it turns out that he has a split personality and then there will be a cliff hanger, which then leads onto the rest of the story


This is the mask I am going to use in my film but I am going to spray it black and arrange my hoody to show no skin and just the black mask. This gives it a menacing look and also threatning to the viewer.

Sound Effects
















This is a very good sound as it is very clear and has the echo which I want to put into my film. This sound is originally from a sniper, but it can be used as a pistol sound instead.


Again this is originally a sniper sound effect but I think it can be used as a pistol. One good thing about this particular sound effect is that it has the shell of the round hitting the ground which is also a very good effect.

This is the type of scene I will be shooting in the blood dripping into the sick scene. I will try to put it in slow motion as I think that that kind of motion suits that situation well.

Latest Idea for movie

I have decided to do a opening scene with alot of suspense without much action and is relativley slow. It is going to involve clues to what the main movie is about and encourages the viewer to potentially take a greater interest in the plot of the movie. One idea is the dropping of (fake) blood into a bathroom sink and then some sort of weapon is then cleaned off blood within the sink and again more blood is falling into the sink. Then another idea is quick shots of photos of people then the next quick picture the picture burning. Also, one key bit which is going to be the end of the movie is, a slow motion shot of a white mask and then there is another shot of a man with the mask on, looking directly into the camera.

Types of Shots and Angles



This is a low angle shot of which I am planning to use a couple of times. One time close to the beginning of the movie will shows the victim walking. This is just to diversify the type of shots, and the other time I am going to use it is when the killer is approaching the victim. This gives the image that the killer is bigger, more powerful and more dominant than the victim.


Another shot is one where a boy looks into a mirror bends down and when he looks back up there is a different person. An example would be in the movie Jarhead where a soldier looks in the mirror, looks down and when he comes back up he sees his girlfriend.

Target Audience

My target audience will be aimed at people who are 15 - 35 years of age. This is because of the type of film it is and what it contains. The minimum is a 15 because firstly the film contains scenes of violence and use of personal weapons so legally it is a 15 but also, I think that most people under the age of 15 would not enjoy it. It can be seen by both male and female, but it is more of a male film as it has the use of personal weapons and not much of a female movie.
