Location and props

We chose the bedroom location in our film opening, based on the main character - the blonde scream queen. We needed the bedroom to emphasise the stereotype behind her character, by using a pink, teenage, girly room. The room is almost entirely pink, however the bedding was not pink before so we changed it to a pink duvet. The room was also quite cluttered with school work before hand, so we tidied these away as they would not of worked well in the mis-en-scene, as it did not fit with the representation of our character- as she is not perceived as studious, but a more "dumb blonde" character.

Bedroom before, light duvet and cluttered.

Bedroom after, tidied and changed duvet.

Practice Shoot

This is our practice shoot of our horror genre film opening. We have involved the main actress so that we could get some sense of positioning of character, character actions and timing. We had a go at some general continuaty editing, and how we can fill in certain elipses. Rather than having the CCTV footage of the murderer playing on the television we have edited the clip onto the television, just to get some idea of what it will look like when the character is watching it in the real shoot. We have not included any diegetic audio for the practice shoot, but only a non- diegetic phone sound.
