Filming on Tuesday 1st December

We filmed on tuesday the 1st of December, the day was a very cold one, it was extremly hard to stay warm especially as we were filmin outside in a park. Our main person cast who is also our producer had the most difficult job, as she had to wear a nighty and stand in the cold weather with nohting else on. but she is a natural actor, and i am very grateful to her for being so brave and puting up with us giving her orders while she was freezing to death. =) our first location on our schedule was Tootting Bec park, before we went to the location we collected all our equipment and took them to tooting bec park in our directors car. the first scene was the policeman investigating a dead body, the dead body was actually me lieing on some white sheets on the floor and i had white sheets with blood splatered on it this is used ina lot of horror films. blood is a very big icon in the genre of horror, films such as Saw use blood. it was very cold as i lay on the floor while the group got the scene perfect. after this scene was done we carried out the jumping scene of Elizabeth who is played by our producer. we had to stop every now and then so that she could warm up as it was very cold. thankfully the scene looked good becuase the weather was not wet, it was dry and sunny. so the lighting was no problem. the actress (producer) had to put in some white contact lenses which shows that she is different, we had to do her make up aswel. we also shot a hand held camera scene of some one running through the woods it wasa point of view shot, and we had a bloody hand at the end. hand held camera shots are used alot through out horror. Clover feild inspired us to do this shot. we were finally finished with the tooting bec park scenes, therefore we could move on to the scenes in the directors house.

the next scene was the bath tub scene where the actress (producer) had to be liying in water and then she would suddenly come out of the water and be gasping for air. this was hard becuase we had to be very careful not to get the camera wet, that is why before that i got a square piece of glass to put infront of the camera so it would not get wet, but the water didnt splash much so we didnt use the glass at the end. we had a few issues to think about here, especially because the safety of our actress was invovled. the water was making her slip and we did not want her to hurt her self so one of our members was holding on to her to prevent her from slipping. this made it quiet hard to film the scene but we got there at the end. water is used very often in horror especially shower or bath tub scenes, for example Carrie has a shower scene, Psycho also has a shower scene and The Grudge to name a few. so we were inspired by the affect it gives.

after the bath scene was accomplished successfully we moved on to the knife shot, where some was holding a knife in their hands very tightly that it made it bleed. we had to think about the safety of teh actor in this. therefore we made sure that the knife was very blunt and we wraped lots of soft tissue around it where the kinfe would be in the actors hand, so that they do not cut themself. we used blood on this scene aswel to show that the cut has caused blood to come out. and finally we completed on a crab scene, this is where our actress (producer) done the crab walk and you can see her eyes, it was quiet scary. although it was a very long day we accomplished quiet a lot and we were all very happy =D.
