RESEARCH: Make-up & Effects

I had an oppotunity to speak to an industry professional about make-up and special effects.
She showed us

Using a volunteer she showed us how to create the illusion of a cut/slash on someone using make up. She also showed us how dummies and prosthetics are used to create more effects. She told us that the makeup used on the character must reflect their personality, dislikes interests and more.

PLANNING: Inital Ideas

After thinking about making our movie realistic by using hand-held camera movement I watch a horror film that does just that called Quarantine, about people who are purposely trapped by a higher authority into a building where there us a vicious disease which turns people into zombie like creatures and one by one everyone is turned into the Zombie like creature.

PLANNING: Inital Ideas

This is a spider diagram of the ideas we first came up with as a group

PLANNING: Synopsis

This a short and quick paragraph about our plans for our synopsis:

5 friends are having and laugh and getting drunk on heath and then decide to break into their school on the weekend and get up to mischief. As they as there they begin to lose each other and one by one slowly die. The killer is a crazy man who was obsessed with toys and children, especially her. After stalking her as a small child he was sentenced and put in prison. Now he has escaped from prison and is back. He goes back to the school in an attempt to get alone time with her he kills all of her friends one by one. Believes he is doing no wrong as because she is over 16 she is now legal.

PLANNING: Settings

Today me and my group found a place within our school that we could use to film. It is dark, dirty and looks very scary and is a perfect setting for our movie that we could use. It has red writing on the walls and looks deserted. It is very simular to the settings of the saw movie.

PLANNING: Initial Ideas

I think that in our trailer we could use a scene similar to the first scene of this trailer where the man is looking around in his apartment and he is jumped by something/one. It builds anxiousness and tension.

Research: Stock Characters

These are conventional characters that seem to pop up  frequently in horror films that I may be able to use in my own
