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.

PP- Shoot Planning

We are planning to do a shoot for our production on Sunday 17th Feb. Here is a list of shots we plan to film:
(everything will be filmed from a variety of angles with different shot types.)

• Take a variety of establishing shots of the surrounding area.
• Establishing shots of the area from behind trees (POV of killer).
• Group shot of them walking to the camp.
• 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.
• They hear scream.
• Scream Queen killed.

HORIZONTAL Intergration: Is when different subsidiaries of a conglomerate company work together for mutual gain. Not necessarily subsidiarys from the same conglomerate.

Assessing Past Coursework

Titles have intertextuality with Scream (Wes Craven, 1996). Long drawn out notes,
Framing of the branches, signifies someone hiding. Shot is not steady, again reinforcing the fact that someone is watching the girl.
False scare used early on, also intertextuality with the name 'Damien', from the film The Omen (Richard Donner, 1976)
Mise en scene (the wall colouring, posters and bedding) are all signifiers of a girl.
Dialogue is good for exposition, but if too much is used it can look and sound very staged.
Elipsis - moves on time.
Throwing clothes and a cut away shot - signifies sexual activity without actually showing anything.
Female gaze
Camera in cupboard - good way to break up shots
could have used a whip-tilt (moving the camera up quickly) to show the reaction to the loud noise
could have used different shots instead of a two shot
Fast paced editing could have been used at the end



Titles - white font on black background signifies realism
Straight away the bottle of alcohol signifies that the character is going to die
Point of view shot, signifies drunk
Framing signifies someone is watching
No diagetic sound
No violence shown
Narrative enigma used for the killer -  only shows the killers feet when dragging the body,  so the audience has no clue about gender, age etc
Effect used to signify CCTV
Diagetic sound - victim moaning
Faster paced editing could have been used to increase tension
Mise en scene works well, can clearly see and hear that the victim is chained up
Intertextuality with Psycho's shower scene - blood going down the drain, and on the wall



Titles - Font is thought through, animations and transitions
Lack of verisimilitude is lost because there is no diagetic sound
Point of view shot,
use of mise en scene and props - kettle boiling, creates tension (heat rising)
