14:30 -  Costumes put on and camera and lighting positioning for first scene

14:45 - Film first scene in bedroom, shooting each aspect in a different angle so we have variance to play with when editing.

15:25 - Film second scene down the stairs and in the hall way, changing the position of the camera and editing the lighting to fit with our dark theme. Also filming several shots to have variance when editing as well as trying out different lighting to see what fits our theme the most appropriately.

16:00 - Film third scene in Living room, Applying all the relevant changes to a move in location such as transferring the camera and lighting equipment from upstairs to downstairs. Again filming different angles so editing becomes easier ad we are not limited to shots.

Mood Board

Creating the mood board has helped us visualise the idea as we have put down everything we visualise our film to be through images. All the main emotions and events happening because of the plot have made us visualise what we want our film to consist of. We believe that from this mood board, it is simple to see what the plot is and this has helped us to realise the colour, lighting and sound will be like on the filming day.

Props

Red Hammer on windowsill – represents that the man is a carpenter and represents that there may be violence. Red represents danger.

Ben’s room sign – represents he’s a young child as drawing is by a child

Knives on table – represent danger and violence

Alarm clock - Shows the time, and puts emphasis on the time as it's in the middle of the night and an irregular occurrence.

Fake blood - Represents danger and death

Torch - walking round with it whilst going downstairs. Used to see as room will be dark. Also adds to the suspense.

These are the main props needed in this sequence. We already have these items apart from the fake blood, which we will buy from amazon.The items we have ordered a shown below. 

Similar Film

 The Film similar to mine is Scream

http://www.

imdb.com/title/tt1262416/ 

This is similar because they are both in a dark location and based around fear of a vulnerable person. They both use props to represent danger indirectly and a range camera shots are also used to show many things including power and authority.

Scream 4 grossed $38.2 million in the United States and Canada and $59 million in other territories for a total gross of $97.1 million, against its budget of $40 million.
The film was released in 3,305 theaters on 4,400 screens and grossed over $1 million in its midnight previews. It made $8.7 million on Friday and $19.3 million in its opening weekend, finishing second at the box office. According to industry experts, the film's opening weekend was "disappointing," experiencing the second-lowest opening of the Scream franchise. In its first weekend worldwide the film took $37.3 million from 30 territories, behind only Rio which took $53.9 million from 62 territories. The film topped the box office in the UK taking over £2 million, came in second in France, third in Mexico and fourth in Australia In its second weekend in the United States, it fell to fifth place, taking in $7.2 million.

Risk Assessment

Stepping on glass - High risk as this can be dangerous due to glass being sharp. we will be careful as the actor will have slippers on and we will insure they remain on the entire time so no harm is caused during the filming of the sequence.

Wires from camera - May trip over the whilst filming and injure yourself. We will make sure this doesn't happen by constantly reminding each other throughout filming that the wires are there so no damage is done whilst filming. Low Risk

Danger from knives/hammer - Very sharp so might scratch yourself. We will make sure no damage is done by constantly holding the knife downwards in between filming scenes so no accidental accidents occur. This is very high risk and one we will constantly monitor throughout.

Falling downstairs with camera - Camera is heavy so risk of losing control of feet and falling. We will make sure this is not done by walking carefully with the camera tightly gripped to our hands. Maintaining the quality of the camera is vital as we don't want to pay for any damages. Medium Risk

Putting up tripod - Can cut yourself or hurt yourself when putting it up. We will construct the tripod slowly and carefully to ensure this doesn't happen. Low Risk.
