Filming and Editing
Filming Saturday 10th November
13, 2012 (Heidi Stevenson)
The
horror trailer was filmed at my house, to prepare for filming I rearranged 3
rooms to film scenes in. Changing the layout
of the bedroom to fit the brief of a little girl’s room. I had to dress the scenes, my adding dolls,
toys and boxes to make it look realistic and fit to the storyboard.
I set up the mise-en scene for filming by choosing
location, props and costume. We had
arranged to use a vicar costume, however we could not get hold of this
therefore I made a vicar costume using a black shirt and paper as a neck
collar. A range of props were also required for the making of our product, we
collected some old dolls and pulled them apart, I then painted the dolls with
red and brown paint to make them look like they were covered in blood. We also
used fake blood in the vicar scene in which I placed my foot in a mixture and
printed it onto the floor, making it look like bloody footsteps.
I arranged the actors, location, time and
date of filming, as I knew all actors used. I arranged the costume and props
needed for each actor, including Sarah who had 3 costume changes and a range of
props during filming. As I was
responsible for costume, I firstly chose a white dress during the first scene
whilst she was dancing along to the television. This connotes innocence and
purity during the scenes before ‘Sarah’ became possessed. I also had a small acting role myself
featuring me in the window of the house, playing the role of an evil presence.
Along with prop and costume and setting the scene I took on the role of hair
and makeup, backcombing the actresses hair and adding dark makeup under the
eyes to create a spooky setting conventional of a horror trailer.
I also took care of aspects of
mise-en-scene through technical effects, such as flicking the lights, thinking
of ways to slam the door closed, and move the blind up and down to create a spooky
effect. My role also involved talking through camera shots, movement and angles
with Aston, making sure the actors were clear on the role and scene we was
filming, and making sure the scenes shot were of a high quality.
