LOCATION SURVEY

 We have have four different locations in our thriller opening, a graveyard, a beach, a small dark room and a cliff, we chose these locations as we thought they'd have great effect as an opening and create pathetic fallacy.

What technical facilities are there?

i.e. Power, storage, enough space for equipment necessary to shoot certain set ups etc.

Many of our chosen locations are outside and in public places, making it slightly harder as there are fewer facilities for us to use when setting up our equipment and doing our actresses hair and make up however we shall be creative and bring plenty of umbrellas and coats in case the weather changes, making sure we still get our great shots.

We are going to have to rely heavily on natural lighting in the outside shots as there will be no where we can use for electricity and so won't be able to make big use of any artificial lighting We shall have to carry the equipment with us but this shouldn't be too difficult as we only have a couple of props and only ever one or two characters in the shots. We shall have plenty of space for filming as most shots are outside and in rural locations.

Cast & Crew facilities:

i.e. dressing and waiting areas, catering facilities, toilet facilities etc.

Graveyard Scene: we shall use Lisa's house for changing and fixing the hair and make up, we shall also use the local deli for food for our actresses.

Beach Scene: There are public toilets only ten minutes from our location for filming so hair and make up shall be carried out in them and we shall provide our actresses and film crew with lunch and refreshments at lunch

Cliff Scene: This will probably be the hardest scene to do, as the nearest facilities are a twenty minute walk away, however we shall do the hair and make up beforehand and luckily with only one clothing change it shouldn't prove to be too hard the local animal research center has a public toilet which we shall use also.

Shed Scene: We have found a small empty room in one of our crew's house which is perfect for getting the shots for our kidnap scene, it also means we shall have dressing, catering and toilet facilities all available to use

Environmental factors that may affect the location:

Many of the locations we are filming in our outside, so if there is heavy rain on the day of filming we will wait for it to stop or post-pone filming. However the rain could help to create some pathetic fallacy in our opening so we are taking umbrella's and tarpaulin so if we want to we can experiment with the rain and get some interesting shots.

Our scene on the beach may also turn out to be difficult to film as there may be the general public around but hopefully we will be able to get a few good shots without interruptions.

Filming the scene in the graveyard may prove to a challenge as we will have to get permission to film in it and permission to film a grave if we are not able to we will have to re-think our choice of location.  

Health and safety are there any implications that may apply to this location

A couple of our shots are filmed on the edge of a cliff; this will be tricky to film especially as it is such a dangerous location but we have managed to find a way to make it look  like cliff edge where in fact our actor is a couple of metres back.

Pre-Production Planning- Ideas- Fatima

Another way we could of started the opening scene could of been with a person in a bathtub with pills next to them deciding whether or not to take the pills. A flash forward before this actually has happened. The last shot we see he/she putting themselves under the water with the pills on the floor.

We could of decided to have he/she with a knife cutting themself but we didn't want to have it to gory so pills would of been easier to do becuase you wouldn't know what the person decided. Did they take it or did they not?

Pre-Production Planning - Hair and Makeup Ideas - Dilys

In our opening we have two characters and four different locations, so there are many costume and hair and makeup changes. We have chosen specific looks to help to build context and give clues to the story plot, it also helps to convey our characters backgrounds and history.

In the first shot of Chantelle, her make up is going to be quite natural with a little bit of smudged black eyeliner to make her look sad and that she can't be bothered to look after herself anymore anymore. Her hair is going to be quite messy and wind swept to show that she is tired and depressed.

When Chantelle goes up to the cliff we want to have her hair very messy and greasy to show that she is isolated and show that she has changed and become wild.
















For our first flashback to when Chantelle and Lacey are younger and happy we want them to have very natural simple make up  to convey that they are young and innocent.














Chantelle and Lacey willl also have neat hair to show they take pride in their appearnce and have the time to beautify themselves. It also helps to create a strong contrast to the other shots of them in the future.
















The flashback to when Lacey is trapped is very important so we need her makeup to be prodominant and show her pain and suffering. We are going to use dark eye shadow and smudge it round the outer corners of her eyes to show that she has been crying and that she's been tormented.
















When Lacey is trapped we will have her hair all messed up and brushed with a back comb effect to show the struggle when she was kidnapped. It will also help to create a dark mood as it shows her desperation to escape.

Pre-Production Planning- Costume Ideas- Fatima

In our first flashback this is what the girls are wearing.

                                             Chantelle                                                                          Lacey

This is what Chantelle is wearing in the graveyard shots which is casual while Lacey is wearing this when she is trapped.
