2nd Rough Cut

Here is my second rough cut for my Film Opening:

Rough Cut

On Sunday the 8th of January 2017, I filmed my Horror Film Opening. I felt it went really well and chose great actors who suited their roles perfectly and were co-operative. My Filming took roughly 5 hours to complete and I am now about half way through the editing stage of my Film Opening. I also feel like the rooms I used and the layout they were in were perfect as it looked realistic like a normal house would do. 

Here is a rough outline of what my Film Opening is going to look like, I picked up a few suggestions from a focus group along the way. These suggestions will help my Film Opening to work more and fit together. I intend to now cut some of the clips shorter, change some clips speed, add voice overs, add sound effects and possibly add some music.

Here is my rough cut:

Actors Make-up

Here are pictures of how the actress playing the ghost and the actor playing the little boy were made-up for filming my Film Opening:

Risk Assessment

For my Filming I had to do a risk assessment to ensure I knew all of the risks that could affect my actors and my Filming. Therefore, I could show what I would do to minimise the risks of the stunts and other factors in my filming. 

Filming Timetable

Here is my timetable for my Filming Day on the 8th of January. This timetable will help me to stick to a certain amount of time for each set of shots. It will also help me keep track of what shots I have done and not done.
