Thomas Purdy

Has joined our group. YAY.

We have begun work on Garageband.

Conventions of a ghost films

This is where we did a simple mind map of the conventions of a stereo typical ghost film. this was useful as   it gave us many ideas for our own film

Audience and Certification research

This is where we made research on Audience and Certification which ensured we understand what content will be included in our 15/18 horror film

Evaluation of previous students work

This is where we evaluated a past AS students work.

Evaluation of horror film introductions

This is where we evaluated over horror films introductions, this was use full as it helped us design how to decide our own film introduction.

Recee Sheets

This is our recee sheet, which has a description and illustration of one of our locations, and also includes information on the sound, lighting, health and safety and if we have permission to use the premises

Make Up Design

This shows the make-up, props and costumes we are using for one of our actors.

Storyboard input.

This is our Story board. We believe that story boards are important as they let us spend more time on decisions towards which shot angles, types and transactions too use.

Shot list

This is the shot list for our film, this indicates how long each shot should be. This was use full as it helped us keep to the guide line of 2-3 mins and will be very use full when shooting our film.

Friday, January 21st

We are now going to scan all of our coursework onto our blogs to show the work we have produced.

Finished Storyboard

Drafts are finished and Storyboard is now finished to our satisfaction. The storyboard comes to a total of 6 pages. I spent lots of time on our storyboard as I beleive it is one of the most vital parts of our coursework as it helps make decisons towards our filming, and how to earn marks with a variety of shot types and angles.

Camera keeps moving, walks upstairs, slowly, carefully, at the top of the stairs in alphabet blocks, the word; PRESENTS. The camera carries on across the landing to Dave’s bedroom door.

FADE TO BLACK

This is a rough outline we jotted down before starting on the scrpit.

• Starts off, camera moving through the house, heading upstairs. Titles show up around house.
• Get to bedroom, see dave in bed tossing and turning. Picture of him and Ellie on bedside table.
• In black and white (this a dream) Dreamdave at a gravestone lying flowes by grave. There is a picture of Ellie also by this grave.
• Dreamdave closes his eyes, and we hear a car screeching.
• Dreamdave looks up off camera. We don't see what he's looking at.
• Back in bedroom Dave tosses and turns.
• Dreamdave sees creepy Ellie standing in the distance under arch.In seconds she's gone again.
• Dreamdave gets up to go to where Creepy Ellie was, and she appears behind him. This is when the audience get a proper look at her, all straggly and creepy and dead.
• Dreamdave turns to run through the graveyard, not looking back.
• THIS SECTION IS LOTS OF FAST CUTS:
• Dave in bed tosses and turns more vigourously than before.
• We see a car zoom down a road.
• Dreamdave keeps running
• We see a ball bounce onto the road.
• Dave in bed tosses and turns.
• Dreamdave stumbles and falls over.
• We see normal Ellie, walking into the middle of the road to pick up the ball. The car is seen in the distance.
• Creepy Ellie stands over Dreamdave. Mute. Expresionless.
• We see car come closer to normal Ellie.
• As Dave jerks awake in bed, we hear the echo of a car screeching.

Thats it at the moment. We'll put up the finsished script before Friday.
