planning for preliminary task - location shots

-

 

At first when I had the idea to shoot my film based of a dream I immediately knew I was gonna need a bed to shoot so me and Mr Armstrong went to look around the school and he gave me his opinion of the place and how I could create effect and suspense in the film 


I choose this room in Boarding House at Ellesmere College as it had only 2 windows which was gonna be useful for me as I dint want much light 





I then wanted to play around with my camera angles at the sink which I was able to pull off by some miracle but I did get a shot of the character looking at the mirror and the camera captured it but I didn't use it in my film as I thought it had no meaning behind it and would be pointless 













I then came to the thought of the antagonist who needed a weapon and handily the golf club was just standing there to be picked so we looked at the corridor and saw where we could place the camera and how we could be able to get enough lighting for the audience to be able to see anything 





finally this was a location shot we took but never used but I thought I would just drop it anyway. We could not use this as it would not be possible to get it dark enough and empty as students and staff were walking past all day 









REFLECTION : 

this us where I went around and looked to find the best location to shoot , this helped me look at different areas and how I can create effect and implement all the codes and conventions of a horror film into my shots

My product upheld some of the codes and conventions of documentary like vox pops and interview with participants (gives us a peek into the mind of the subject whilst also seeking the perspective of others - entertainment, personal identity and education - uses and Grats). I was really inspired by Netflix’s ‘Drive to Survive’ (2019), where we have a subject walking in and talking to the director while being captured, but there are no breaks in the interview and it just looks like a conversation that is clipped to add to the film, hand held camera(where i used it to make the audience feel like they were on the court with the subject where the excitement or the share power of the dunk ) ,emotive music and voiceover(use in the montage scene to help inspire ) The docuseries “The Last Dance”  (2020) which was produced by Ja...

  lighting in horror  low-key lighting  Horror movies frequently employ low-key lighting because of the effects it produces. The dark tone and shadows created by this lighting are appropriate for a horror movie; they increase anxiety because of the film's eerie, enigmatic mood and limit how much of the setting and people are revealed. Through the use of shadows and muted colours, it establishes the tenor, the mood, and a perilous relationship with mystery. (an example of low key lighting used in a film) high-key lighting  apart from low-key lighting horror producers can also use high key lighting , this helps to :  - The lights utilised produce a light hue and are particularly bright.  - To illuminate the entire scene, the lights are frequently placed high above.  - Because the lights are placed high above, they don't need to be changed, making it simple to film continuously.  - Makes use of several hot light sources (fluorescent soft lights)....
