Photographs| Behind The Scenes Shots Costume and Make-up


Here, Jocelyn was helping Stacey prepare for the scene in which she is placed in the closet to look dead. We gave her the effect of ripping and tearing her clothes to give her a distorted look.














To give our actor a dead look we used powders to make her look her pale as dead people usually look. We also used tones of ashy cold colours such as grey and blues to give her that grim and gloomy apperance. The eyeshadows were used around the eye and lip area.


To make sure make up wasnt being too overdone, we used wet wipes and blusher brushes to dush off the excess powder and eyeshadows.


With the hair we wet her her completely so than we could back comb it and make it look rough an coarse.

Test Shots: Unknown Tapping By Closet







The video above contains the test shots for one of the scenes which we shot in the production of our trailer. We shot the scene a various number of times so that we could have a variety of shots to pick from some shots of high-quality and some shots were not up to standard. The video shows a few of these shots, and the shot which we chose to use.



Test Shot One
· This shot was not up standard for our trailer because of the eye-level it did not create the right atmosphere we wished for it to bring across to the audiences. One of the advantages of this shot that we noticed after we had shot it was the depth of field this allowed us to create a shot where the main focus was on the glove and not the face of the protagonist character.



Test Shot Two
· This shot compared to shot one is wider the audience are able to see the protagonist character, but the disadvantage of this shot is this depth of field is affected because the audience can see more the characters face this means the shot looks like it is at disequilibrium because the shot is more out of focus then in.



Final Shot
· The final shot we filmed I believe was the best shot, I find the depth of field, colouring and shot type made the shot best capture the moment we wished to capture. The only disadvantage are the posters on the door on the left of the shot.

Weekly Update

Wednesday 13th October Today we filmed Stacey being tapped on the shoulder and looking around, which is one our ending shots in the trailer. This took less time to film, as Stacey was not required to have any special effects make-up on and was filmed in a compact corridor. For the tap, we used a member of the group, as we know better than anyone outside of the group how we want the shot to look. The main prop used in the shot was a leather glove on the hand that taps Stacey's shoulder. The black leather glove was used as it creates a sense of mystery and fear, the person is unseen and their identity is unknown, and is intended to make audiences wonder who this is.

Shooting Script




Updated Storyboard Using Photographs

** NEEDS NEW STORYBOARD FROM STACEY FOR SHOT NUMBERS ** Updated Storyboard Using Photographs
Below are the storyboards for the teaser trailer, using real life photographs. The group chose to make a second storyboard using photographs so that we could use this as a test for the type of shots first picked, by doing this we were able to check if the chosen shots from the hand drawn storyboard would work when we had an actual camera being used to create the shots. Also this helped our location recess because we were able to see if the location picked helped create the right atmosphere needed for the different scenes of the trailer.
