Prop List

We used a number of different prop's in our filming, first some of the basics:

 Camera

The camera we used to film the footage was a panasnonic, HDC-SD90 full HD.

This was provided to us by sixth form.

Camera Tripod

The tripod we used was a tripod provided by sixth form for us to use in the production.

Lighting

To create the lighting we needed we used small handheld torches, these brought practical advantages such as being small and compact so were easy to use, and also efficiency advantages as they gave off a lot of light at great power.

I provided the torches for lighting.

These are the extra prop's we used in our production:

Tomato ketchup 

This was used in the production to represent fake blood on the girl when she falls and hits her head. We wanted to use ketchup as it was a practice alternative for fake blood and very easy to apply. I provided the ketchup.

Axe

We used the axe as a murder weapon in the final scene of our production. 

I provided the axe.

Behind The Scenes

Whilst we were filming we took some shots of the behind scenes camera work and acting.

When trying to film a tracking shot we noticed the camera was very wobbly, to create a smoother shot we decided to use  wheelbarrow as this was a practical option at the time. 

Group Chat

 In order to keep in touch, keep up to date with filming times and generally talking about our production we created a group chat on Facebook. This allowed us to all talk in one place and made planning to meet up a lot easier.

This shows a conversation during the planning stages of what day we were going to film our production.

Filming Preparations

In the process of choosing what day to film, we had to check the weather to ensure it wasn't raining on the days we wanted to film. 

We needed it to be dark for our outside film so we planned to film around 6pm, therefore we checked the weather for each day at this time of night so we could plan ahead the day we wanted to film and for how long.

Looking at the weather we decided to film on Wednesday at 6 o'clock as this was the only day that was not predicted rain at the time we wanted to film.
