Diary of filming and editing

Filming
we started filming on Monday 1st of December 2014 and it took us about two weeks to complete the filming. we filmed in a woods near our school.
Monday 1st 
The first day we went out to film we went to the back of the school field by the woods, we had to find a suitable place to film which we found.
Tuesday 2nd
The next day we went to Ashtead common to find a place to film, but we couldn't find a suitable place so we decided that we were going to film in the woods at the back of the school.
Wednesday 3rd
The third day is when we first time we shot a scene. Using the camera took some time to get used to but we eventually got the hang of it.
Thursday 4th
On Thursday we were not able to film due to the weather conditions.

On Monday we all got together and discussed how we were going to go about filming the scenes we need. we filmed the part where the campers realise that they are being watched. The campers then see the killer. Filming on this day went well as we got all the shots and scenes.

Targets

Add your animatic storyboard to your blog page.  Comment on what you thought was effective about it and what you wanted to change/improve.

Insidious

The opening credits first appear in red on a plain black background, this is stereotypical in the horror genre. The credits continue in both red and white whilst panning across a child's room, it is dark and the child is sleeping. This continues for a while before focusing on the face of someone holding a candle. The title of the film 'Insidious' is then presented on the screen in large red font. The tuitles then continue over different black and white shots throughout the same building.

Technical Equipment

GE DV1 video recorder.

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. 

Costume research

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.
