Planning for Shooting (completed with George Ring 9658)

Hair and Make Up 

Our main character is a girl and is performing her bedtime routine. She will be natural and neutral make up to make her appear innocent and vulnerable which we want. This will be done by herself. There will also be a part in the flash back where she is covered in blood and looks like she has been beaten. This will be done with make up and other effects, which will be carried out by someone we know who is studying media makeup as a degree. Her costume will be ripped up clothing covered in blood, suggesting something has happened. We struggled finding images of what we want, but reading the article below we would aspire for it too look like this:

Costumes

In terms of the flashbacks, the girls clothing will be ripped up as if she has just escaped something and been in a horrific situation. At the beginning of the film opening she will be wearing a night gown, and be removing her make up, therefore in the flashbacks this will subvert what we have previously seen and shown her in a horrific light. 

Lighting

As it is set at night, there will be low level soft lighting in the bathroom and in her bedroom with most of it being lamps and creating a calm atmosphere. When she goes to sleep it'll be dark other than moonlight shining on her face, this will create a spooky atmosphere on the audience as most horror films are set around the dark. Stereotypically, at night, the worst crimes happen as people are asleep, it is dark and oblivious.

Props

In our film, we will be using day to day props such as:

A mirror - the mirror is relevance to the opening as it is the disruption of the equilibrium

Locations

We will be filming in a house using the bathroom and a bedroom. We will try to recreate the atmosphere in the lighting section above. When the flashbacks go on, it will be set in a wooded area which show they are unaware of their surrounds and conform to the fact how big the forest is, it conforms to the horror movie stereotype. We also want to film in an abandoned house as it leads the questions as to why it is abandoned.
