Production Schedule

For our horror film trailer, we have decided to film it at a friends' house in Widley. There are two of us in our group and a minimum of 3 main characters featured in the trailer, as well as a few others playing different family members.

When: November - December, evenings starting 4pm onwards - this to achieve the best possible effect for our trailer making it dark and mysterious to fulfil the stereotypical horror film setting.

Where: Gundymoor Wood, Durlock House and gardens (friends' house) and 'The Heath'.

Who: Jo - director/ producer/ camera work/ editing

          Kate - director/ producer/ camera work/ editing/ Elsie Durlock (hauntee) 

          Ellie - Anna Paige (main character)

          Alex - Alex Paige (Anna's little brother)

Dates of Filming: 16/10/13 - went to Gundymoor Wood and took a few photos and filmed a few shots     around the wood with the wind and rain to create the typical horror scenic atmosphere.

                             15/11/13 - went to Durlock House and created the character Elsie through dressing Kate up in an old fashioned costume and took some photos up in the attic, which is where the hauntings will occur. We also recorded some footage whilst taking photos which creates a good effect amongst the darkness. 

                            7/12/13 - we will film up in the attic again to complete the filming up there whilst it is dark to set the mood as well as take pictures and record footage outdoors to capture the house in the moonlight and make it took scary. 

                           11/12/13 - we plan to get together and organise what we need for each filming session, including a tripod, video camera, camera phone, and to find a date when we are all suited to film.

                            17/1/14 - went to Ellie's and got some footage of Durlock House in the dark from different angles and positions for trailer

                            1/2/14 - today we returned to the attic and recorded some footage as well as created sound affects that we could use to create suspense throughout the trailer

                            15/2/14 - we tried to create the creaky door opening and closing without anybody being there scene today and it worked reasonably well. After a few failed attempts we managed to succeed in shooting the footage and aim to add it to our progressing trailer during our next lesson

                            27/2/14 - today we went to Ellie's and recorded her brother in the role of Alex Paige for a clip in our trailer, as well as the character of Anna Paige exploring her house after hearing unexplainable noises

                            

Over the next few days Kate and I will finish up our posters, magazine covers and finalise our trailer, as well as make sure that everything on the blog is finished.
