Hi, this is my AS Media blog. It contains research and planning for my coursework production (slasher opening) and media exam. I'm in a group with Kate and Poppy. The working title of our production is Camp Ivy. Our production is strongly influenced by films such as Friday the 13th, and its set in a rural location like in Eden Lake.

KH - Shoot 1
Shoot 1
Our shoot took place on the 17th February 2013. We filmed all of the shots for our film opening at Linton Camp. We started filming at 11AM and finished at around 4PM. The location was extremely good for getting a range of framings and shots, but we did spend a lot of the time trying to figure out what would look best. It would have been more ideal and time efficient if we had been up to the location before the shoot as a group to plan where we could shoot and how we would do it. Our actors all arrived at different times during the day, so we planned to shoot the shots in a particular order to save time.
The weather on the day was very sunny. This was a slight issue as we were hoping for a dull day which would have created a more eerie atmosphere.

- Shots of them setting up and sat round (variety of different framing options etc).
- Scream Queen separated from group - POV shots of her walking away, different angles.
- Stalking shot of Scream Queen - her realising she's being stalked leads to quick pace editing and chase shots. Lots of shot variety framed with trees and buildings.
- Back to shot of group wondering where scream queen is, close ups etc.
