Final Costumes

                                    Final Costumes

Nick's Final Costume

Nick's outfit turned out really good because it was just as I wanted it to be. It was dark coloured, which was really good because it gave the effect that he was a villain or evil. I liked the fact that he had a top hat on because it hid some of his identity when his head was down and it fit in with the time that my opening was supposed to be set in. His whole outfit made his character look creepy and scary, which is what I wanted his costume to create for the audience.

Jodie's Final Costume

Jodie's costume worked well and I liked having the coat which she could remove because it then because an object that Nick's character could pick up and it then meant that Nick's character could have an instant connection with Jodie's character. I liked how her dress was light and dark because it represented her being innocent and also having a darker side to her too because she uses men, hence the reason that Nick's character is trying to kill her.

 



Behind the Scenes of Filming for my Horror Opening

     Behind the Scenes of Filming for my Horror Opening

Putting Nick's Make-up On

I got Jodie to film and video the process of me putting Nick's make-up on. She didn't take any pictures though, so I took a screenshot during the video so that there was a picture as well.

This was a snapshot that I took off of the video to show how I applied it in a freeze-frame, rather then it all being on the video.

This is the video of me putting the make-up on Nick before we started to film. I have speed up the video so that it isn't as long and so that there is no speaking because some of the speaking has nothing to do with what we are actually doing. However I will also upload and put below this video of the video with speaking and slowed down.

 

 

 

Videos and Pictures of Filming Jodie

Pictures

While filming Jodie I got Nick to take pictures and videos of the process on my ipod. These are the pictures that aren't blurry because some of them are so blurry that you can't see what's in it or what is happening.

 

This is a photo that also shows the setting that I chose for the end of the opening. It also shows a bit of what Jodie's costumes look like. In the opening I  made sure that the majority of the graffiti wasn't seen.

 

These are two photos of me filming Jodie in the very last clip of my horror opening. It shows how the camera was positioned and where we were when I filmed. It also shows Jodie's costume from a front and side angle.

Video of Filming Jodie

This video is only short and it shows me filming Jodie when she screamed right at the end. We only had to do this once because she did it really well and it also came through on the camera really well.

Videos and Pictures of Filming Nick

Pictures of Filming Nick In The Forest

These are two photos of me setting up the camera in the right place and it also shows the setting of where part of my opening is being filmed. It shows how high I had to have the camera stand and how the camera was positioned.

These two photos show Nick's costume that he was wearing. It shows that he had brought his documents I gave him, which benefited all of us because it therefore gave us a clearer idea of what we were doing.

Videos of Filming Nick In The Forest

 

These two videos show my process of filming Nick. These clips are for the middle of my horror opening and it is where I first introduce Nick's character. This filming went well because I only had to do them twice, due to Nick getting confused as to what he was doing.

 

Pictures of Filming Nick in the Tunnel

Jodie took these photos as I filmed Jodie and again these are the photos that aren't blurry so that everything in the photo is seen.

 

These photos show how high the camera had to be to film for Nick and it also shows a close up of what Nick is wearing as well as his facial expression that he had to pull while I was filming.

Videos of Filming Nick in the Tunnel

The majority of these films are very short but they all show the process that I had to take to film Nick. It shows Nick's costume in more detail and it shows the location as well as what he is going to be doing part of the opening.



 

Organisation For The Day I Was Filming

                  Organisation For The Day I Was Filming

This is the post that I put in the Facebook group to remind everyone that they were both expected to be at the filming the next day. I also added in the section about the kitchen knife, however, I found out afterwards while filming that it looked just as good without a knife as it would with a knife, so therefore that slight slight change to my idea didn't matter as much as I thought it would.







This is the text conversation that I had with Jodie on the day of the filming. It was very helpful to text Jodie because we had decided that I would meet Nick outside school and then we would walk up to Jodie's to collect her. This meant that we could keep in contact with her while we were walking and so that she could see where we were, so I could make sure that she was ready to go and film as soon as we got to her house. It also meant that I could remind her in the morning that she had to be ready on time to film that day, so I knew that she would be organised by the time Nick and I got to her house.







This is the inbox conversation on Facebook that I had with Nick on the day of the filming. It was great that Nick had in-boxed me to tell me when he was on his way because it meant that I knew when he was going to turn up and therefore I could let Jodie know that I would be on my way with Nick to her house soon.

Final Make-up Designs for my Actor and Actress

         Final Make-up Designs for my Actor and Actress

Jodie Coote's

 This was Jodie's final make-up design that I have used for my opening of my horror movie. I got Jodie to apply her own make-up as I feel that she would do a better job on her own face then I would have done. I really liked my final make-up design on Jodie and I felt that it looked like what I wanted it to look like. It made her look like she had been crying, which is what I wanted and I felt that it was bold enough to show up on camera, which is another thing I wanted to achieve with this make-up look.

Nick Brewer's

 This is the final make-up look for Nick. I felt that it looked like what I wanted the make-up design to look like and that it made him look more like the character that I wanted him to play. I did this look for Nick by applying darker eye shadow around his eye. This worked really well as it wasn't too dark that it didn't look realistic and it wasn't too light that it didn't show up on the camera. I also felt that it made Nick look scarier then he did without it and it made him look more like a villain.

Make-up I used For Nick

This is the make-up pack that I used for Nick's eye make-up. I used the second colour in from the left as I thought that the first colour on the left was to dark and the middle colour onwards were all too light. I am happy with the colour that I chose because I felt that it was the right one to make it look the most realistic and to make Nick look more like a villain.

Film Consent Forms Completed

                       Film Consent Forms Completed

I asked my actor and actress to sign the consent form so that I knew that they completely understood what they had to do and where the opening was going to go. I also asked them if they had any questions that they could come and ask me. Although, no one came to me with any questions on what they had to, only Nick asked me about what type of hat he needed to wear.

These are the completed forms.

Weather Forecast

                                     Weather Forecast

I decided to see what the weather forecast was for the days of my filming were in advance, so that if it was going to rain I could be prepared or I could set another day if I needed to. Luckily, on the days that I knew my actor and actresses were free, the weather was good enough to film.

29th of November

This is what the weather is supposed to be like on the 29th of November, the first day that I am supposed to be filming with just Jodie. The time frame that I am filming for is supposed to be cloudy, which would be good because it means that it should be a bit darker than usual at this time. This would mean that the lighting would be fit better for a horror movie then a sunny day.

7th of December

This is what the weather is supposed to be like on the 7th of December, the second day that I am supposed to be filming with both Jodie and Nick. This time frame that I am filming for is supposed to be misty. This will be good because it means it will be darker than usual, meaning it should be sort of the same lighting as the 29th of November.

My Institution Font Ideas

                                         My Institution Font Ideas

My institution name is 'Rigor Mortis' which means the stiffening of the joints and muscles of a body a few hours after death. I chose this name because I thought that it worked well with my horror opening and that it fit in because my horror opening is to do with death, therefore the institution name has an instant connect with my horror movie.

Idea's For My Openings.

I don't like this idea because it has the black around it and then there is white around the skull because it doesn't look good. I think it makes it look like a three year old has put it together and it doesn't look finished and professional. I also don't like where the Rigor Mortis productions is placed because I wanted it over the whole thing but the black and the white colours didn't show in both places and I didn't want the writing red, therefore I am not going to use it.



I like this idea more because it is simple and wouldn't take up much of my time in the opening. I don't know if I would use the music or if I would use different music. I like this idea more though because it's dark and would set the mood. The font is Lucinda Bright and I like this because it is quite simple as well as being very readable. If I was to use this, I would defiantly make sure that the music faded out at the end so it didn't come to a sudden stop.The font is also similar to the ones they use horror openings that are the beginning to real horror movies. I like the idea of having something simpler and without using the logo, because I think it is easier to make and it still uses my institution and still will have effect on the audience.

Making Realistic Blood

                                Making Realistic Blood


One lesson, we made different types of realistic blood. We used different types of methods to try and create it look as realistic as possible. We were trying to make it look as realistic as a real blood splatter, as shown left, or real blood on somebody's hand.

Video Of All The Blood Making Pictures

This Is The Sped Up Video Of Us Making The Blood

I made this video faster so that it was quicker to view the making of the process that we went through to make the blood.

 

Method One

This is the first method we used below. We thought that this method worked really well because it looked great on the skin. The colour was almost perfect because it wasn't too red that it looked like tomato ketchup and it wasn't too dark that it looked brown.
The thickness of it was a bit too runny at first so we added a bit more golden syrup and it got a little more thicker, looking more like blood then runny red liquid.

This is the picture of the method we used.

This is the steps that we used to make the fake blood for method one. I think that the colour looks well on a photograph too, so it would look good on a video too. At one point the method told us to add something and it turned a brown colour, so we added some more red food colouring to it and it turned back to the colour we wanted it to be.

Videos For Method One

This is what the fake blood looked like when it was dripped onto a surface. I tried to drip it more then throw it down because then I could get a variety of different looks so that if I ever wanted to have someone with a nose bleed or someone who had been stabbed I would have an idea of what it looked like.

This is what the fake blood looked like when it was on someone's hand. I thought that it looked good because it drips down so that it looked like real blood. I took a photo of this because if I ever want to use this method on the skin I know what it would look like.

 

Method Two

This method was simpler then the first but I felt that it wasn't as good as the first one because it was wetter then the first because it was only made of red food colouring and water. The thickness was a bit runnier then the first one because it was only red food colouring and water, so the water made it really runny.

 

 

Video For Method Two

This is what it looked like when it was in the pot and I thought that it looked better in the pot then it did out of the pot. It did have a very good resemble of blood while in the pot though because it didn't look as runny.














This picture showed what it looked like when I dripped it onto the paper. It shows that when it was dripped because it was so wet it didn't drip once, it all poured out onto the paper. This meant that if I wanted a fake blood that was good for dripping, I shouldn't use this one because it didn't look realistic when it was dripped.

When it was put onto the hand, it ran off almost automatically, which isn't good because if I wanted to use it for video rather than a picture it wouldn't work as well because it would be too runny it would end up all on the surface and none on the hand.

Method Three

Method three worked well because it was quite thick and looked more realistic then method two. It worked well and was relatively easy to make. For this one I didn't have to add anymore to make it thicker or runnier which was a good point too.

Method Three Video

This was what looked like when I dripped it onto the paper. I didn't think that it looked very good when it dripped down because it was too thick when it was on the paper. I thought that if I was going to use this I wouldn't use it for it dripping off of someone.

However, when we put it onto the hand, it looked really effective because it looked like someone had deeply cut them with a knife and that blood was running out of them fast. It also had a good thickness on the skin and I had some darker bits, which could look like clots and would give a more disturbing look, if that is what I wanted.

Method Four

This method looked too much like ketchup and I don't think that I'd ever use it because it looked too unrealistic and wouldn't have given the same effect as the previous methods have.




This photo is a good example as to how it looks like ketchup. In my opinion, it looks like someone has spilt ketchup and water because the two didn't mix very well together and it ended up with water on the top and ketchup on the bottom.

Video For Method Four

Method Five

This method again looked too much like ketchup. I don't think that I would use this method either because it looked to fake and like ketchup, so it wouldn't have a great effect for the audience as they would be able to tell that it was ketchup. 

These photos show the colour and what this method looks like. I can tell that this is ketchup really badly because it is the same colour as it as well as it looking like ketchup in a pot. I didn't take a picture of it on a hand because it just looked like ketchup on someone's hand.

Photo's Of All The Fake Blood And The Drips On The Paper

Organisation With my Actor and Actress

                 Organisation With my Actor and Actress

I set up a Facebook group, shown left and right, so that I can talk to my actor and actress without trying to find them at school or text them both separately. I can then have a conversation with them and they can see what the other one says, so therefore it takes up less time to sort out dates and times that we would meet to film. It also means that if either of them have any questions they can ask them on here and then if the other one had the same question they wouldn't have to ask me and they would still know the answer. There are only three members in the group and the group is private, therefore the only people that can see what we post is the three of us.

 This is the conversation that I had with my Actor, Nick Brewer. This was because I wanted to find our what dates he had free, so I could then ask Jodie. I had this conversation before I set up the Facebook group with both Jodie and Nick. I decided to keep this conversation so that I had proof that he said he could do these dates and so that when it came to writing the schedule I knew for definite what day Nick could do.

Prop List

                                         Prop List

Nick

I have one prop for Nick. This will be a kitchen knife and I will get Nick to hold it in the same hand, probably the one closest to the camera (left) but I will keep it in the same hand throughout the clips he is in. I used a kitchen knife, so that it seemed more realistic because he could have gone into the kitchen area in the asylum and stolen the knife.

Having a prop that people will recognise would mean that people can associate Nick's character with a sharp knife, like in 'A Nightmare On Elm Street', Freddy Krueger is well known for his Claw Gloves.

Although, this isn't going to be used because it could be dangerous for people to carry on them, so this is only what prop nick would have if it was a real film.

Jodie

I am not going to get Jodie's character to have a prop because I don't think that Jodie's character needs one. This is because I don't think that a victim should have a prop because they are not as important as the villain (Nick's character) because Jodie's character is going to die early on it the film, so having a prop isn't as important as Nick's character.

My Shooting Schedule

                                 My Shooting Schedule


My shooting schedule is slightly different to the ones I gave to Jodie and Nick because I added on mine the date that I need to film someone turning on the radio, which will be about three seconds long. I didn't put that on Jodie's and Nick's because I didn't want to risk them thinking that they needed to be at my house the day before we are shooting with Jodie.

 

 

Documents I Have Given my Actress and Actor

           Documents I Have Given my Actress and Actor

This is the consent form that I will give to Jodie Coote, my actress, to make sure that she understands what will happen with the horror opening that she in involved with and whether she agrees to what she has to do and where the horror opening will go.

This is the consent form that I will give to Nick Brewer, my actor, to make sure that he understands what will happen with the horror opening that he in involved with and whether he agrees to what he has to do and where the horror opening will go.

This is the costume and make-up document that I will give to Jodie. I did this so she understands clearly what her costume is like and I added a picture of the make-up so that she understands that her make-up will not be a normal everyday make-up she is used to having on her face.

This is the costume and make-up document that I will give to Nick. I did this so he understands clearly what his costume is like and I added a picture of the inspired make-up look so that he understands that he will have make-up on his face and so he gets a rough idea of what the make-up will look like.

This is the document that I will give to Jodie, so that she understands what each shot will involve and what she has to do for each individual shot on both of the days that I am filming. I have added a diagram to one of the shots so that she gets a better understanding of what location I am talking about.



This is the document that I will give to Nick, so that she understands what each shot will involve and what he has to do for each individual shot on the days that I am filming. He has a shorter list then Jodie because he appears in fewer shots than she does.

This is the shooting schedule that I will give to both Nick and Jodie so that they understand what they need to bring, when they need to be at the certain locations and where we will meet. I added Jodie's day into Nick's shooting schedule so that he knows that there is going to be another filming day that he doesn't appear in the shots, but he may come if he wants to see what Jodie's shots are.
