Reflection: We plan to shoot on saturday, all scenes will be in one location and be filmed in one day. I doubt that it'll be enough time however if we need an extra day to shoot for more scenes or retake scenes, we plan to go together on monday after school.

Location Scout+ Risk Assessment

This is the Location Scout and Risk assessment for this term's project. The location scout is done by me and Risk assessment is done by me and shannon



Location

Address:

Taman Festival Bali, Padang Galak No.3

Scene:

All scenes (camp, chasing, etc)

Advantages of location:

It's abandoned and can give the scary atmosphere that we are looking for. It is close to school

Disadvantages of Location:

May rain, may have bugs or snakes, no roof. May have to work around tourists

Alternatives:

one of our houses

Risk Assessment

Risk:

Who is at risk:

How to avoid risk:

High, Medium, Low risk:

1. dangerous animals

everyone involvedassess surroundings firstlow

2. Rain

everyone involved, equipmentCheck the weather app before we actually go there,  determining what date we are going to film in. 
Use a cover for the equipment that is not in use, take an umbrella 
Medium

3. Rocks and Pebbles, tripping hazard

Everyone InvolvedTo remove the rocks to decrease the risk of tripping or falling when filming the actors or when the camera person is filmingMedium

It's difficult finding a place for our filming location. 

Screen Test

 This is the screen test for my group's project. I am going to be doing the screen test.


This is the screen test. We did this as a class. We all participated to say a line from various genres.


Most people did not take it seriously and the rest are mostly too shy or nervous to act seriously. I think it's fine because it isn't that bad and i think it will be easier for them to act infront of the camera without audience.

Screenplay

 This is my group's screenplay for this term's project. I will be doing the screenplay


Scene 1

Actors: Mac, Bams, Kenneth

Characters:

Max: Max

Bams: Greg

Kenneth: Kenneth

Killer:

[In the forest, fire crackling. Shot cuts to inside the tent. 2 Teenage boys and 1 girl playing an ouija board.]

KENNETH: I'm hungry, i'm gonna get a snack real quick

[KENNETH gets up and goes to the car to grab a snack, potato chips]

[killer kills KENNETH]

MAX: its been like 10 minutes, where is he?

[BAMS gets up to go look for KENNETH, sees snack on the ground, KENNETH nowhere to be seen]

BAMS: what the-

[MAX's scream can be heard from the distance, cuts to black and title]


(if need extra scene)

[scene cuts to intense music, atmosphere, shaky camera, dim lighting, and running, MAX hiding from killer from behind the pillar]

MAX: (heavy breaths, pov shot with shakey camera and flashlight.)

[killer suddenly grabs MAX from behind, camera falls to the ground facing to the right of them, allowing just a limited distance for the killer to be seen dragging MAX]

MAX: yells are muffled with cloth on mouth


[Although the information is good, it does not look like a screenplay so our teacher helped us fix the script and now it looks more like a professional screenplay]

Screenplay

I hope the screenplay that I'm going to make will be clear enough. We have good ideas yay.

Storyboard

 This is the storyboard for this term's project; horror film introduction. Shannon will be doing the storyboard. I did the rough sketch

This  is our rough sketch of the plans for our storyboard. It was then developed and made in detail by shannon. when doing the detailed storyboard there are also details that we as a group changed to different things because we find it fitting. For example we initially planned to shoot in a forest and have the story be about camping. However due to difficulties finding a good filming camping spot that is not time costly, we changed the place to an abandoned place, where its much closer and can still being the scary atmosphere that we are looking for.

rough sketch:

This is important because we needed to visualize each scene on paper and this rough storyboard help guide the storyboard bellow.

detailed sketch:

These first few scenes we did it in detail so we can get a better idea of the overall scene which was useful. However, it was time consuming to do both so we simplified it for the next few scenes.

After some discussion with the group, we decided that we wanted to make scene 6 longer and add another scene before the title screen, so shannon did shannon shot 6, 7 and 7a. Then there will be scene 7


The storyboard was nicely done by shannon. This way we can plan things more effectively and have a clear guidance when doing the shoot.
