In a horror film you would expect to see characters wearing dark clothes (e.g. black or blue). As our characters are teenagers on a camping trip we have chosen to dress them in warm, practical outdoor clothing, whilst still suiting the idea of wearing dark colours to suit the horror stereotype. One character will be wearing a black tracksuit and the other will be wearing trousers and a warm jacket. We feel that by dressing our characters in a mixture of their own clothes and clothes to suit a horror film, that audience members will be able to relate to them as they are around the same age as our target audience. We will have the characters carrying bags, as you would on your way to a camping trip, this will make the reason for our chosen setting more clear to the audience without using dialogue.
GE’s DV1 is the camera that is offered by our school, it is helpful that if anything goes wrong we can use this video recorder as our back-up. In case any problems occur to the camcorder, the company claims it’s waterproof to five metres and can survive a 1.5-metre drop. The GE DV1 is a neat soap bar design, it can hold up to 32GB. the camera is simple and easy to use as you control it through a directional touchpad and a simple menu system, and there are shortcuts for filming, playback and deleting videos. It allows you to record in 1080p, or 720p.
