Planning

18th January - Continue to film sequence if unfinished then re film scenes and frames that need alterations.

Prop list:

Mood ring

Bench

Costume:

Gemma - daisy dress, black tights, green parka, black Doc Martens and silver sparkly scrunchie

Rachel - acid wash jeans, green/brown jumper, black Doc Martens and blue scrunchie

Possessed girl - white night dress, wellington boots

Although Rachel is the weaker and more scared character we have dressed her as if she is the stronger and less afraid than Gemma is dressed. We chose to do this to juxtapose the audience; they will be expecting Rachel to be the strong one.

Casting:

Ellen Holmes as Gemma

Freya Blake as Rachel

Annabel Harris as Possessed girl

We have chosen the two teenage girls as victims as this is a usual convention of a horror film - they are seen as most vulnerable. The little is a good antagonist as at first she seems innocent and vulnerable but the fact that she's the murderer contrasts with first impressions. This will leave a lasting effect on the audience. 

How this will help me to create my thriller opening:

Having a detailed plan has allowed me to know what needs to be done and when it needs to be done. Taking pictures of the cast in their costumes means that we can make sure they are wearing the exact same each time we film.
