Cast and Crew

This is a picture from my upcoming website, this is our cast...


 And this is our crew.


Travel

As Producer I took it upon myself to organize everyone's travel arrangements. The crew generally met at college and since we all heavily rely on our free oyster cards we traveled mainly by bus.



Filming Part 3.

Filming today went as planned we were able to get some vital shots working as a team we were able to split up into two groups, we found some long corridors and a lift within David's halls at Kingston University... Very handy indeed.

Filming Part 2.

As a previous script showed there was just to much talking within the trailer, so the David and Hannah have been giving us feedback on hoe they would spontaneously act a particular scene (the argument). We are currently trying to look into this.





Storyboard

This is our storyboard, its our brief plan of how we look to transition from one shot to the next and it illustrates our progression of horror throughout the trailer.







Filming Part 1.

Filming did not go as planned today and therefore we are a little behind, which is unfortunate. The weather restricted use from filming outside however we were able to film scenes inside with Hannah and David. The only downfall at the moment is we still have no actress to for fill Laura's character.

Script


This is our initial script, it is only a rough idea. I'm not entirely sure how much of this we are going to use as it seems like a lot of talking for a horror trailer, but I guess we will have to see.

Health and Safety

We, as a group identified possible health and safety risks which we may encounter when filming. Considering we have identified them we hope that we can now prevent them from happening or will be able to make rearrangements so that it does not conflict with our schedule.

After much deliberation it turned out that our initial actor Joey would be unable to act outside of college on the weekends due to other college requirements and therefore, we had to replace him rather quickly, luckily by the end of the week before our shooting schedule came into affect, we managed to find David to stand in instead. David also had his halls available to shoot in to, so we're planning to add that into our shot list.
