Prop list

We didn't use any special effects and we didn't need too many props. We did however need a few props to make my living room appear more satanic.

Pentagram

 -We drew on an old sheet using a red marker pen.

Matches and Tea Lights

 -We just bought these and kept them stored at my house on set.

Phone

 -Everyone on set had a phone so it was easy to get a hold of one if necessary.

Logo change

A last minute adjustment was made as we were not happy with the outcome of our logo. Also, whilst editing we descovered that we needed it with a black background to keep with the dark tones and also for it to transition between shots.

Shot list

In our final piece, these were all the shot types we used:

• Establishing shot

• 2x tilt

• 4x over the shoulder

• 3x medium long shot

• 2x extreme close-up

• 360-degree camera pan

• 2x medium close-up

• 3x close up

• Pedestal

• 3x tracking

• 3x still deep shot

• 2x wide shot

Looking for music

Because our chosen film is a horror, music and sound is very important in creating the tension. Rebecca found a website called incompetech which is a library of all of Kevin MacLeod's music which is free to use as long as you include a disclaimer in the description somewhere. The music is free to download as well, so we didn't need to worry about risking a bad purchase. Luckily the website has easy to navigate categories


This is an example of what we were looking for. We couldn't use this music however as it belongs to the Insidious trademark and we would need to negotiate rights in order to use it.

Right Behind You by Kevin MacLeod was our chosen ambient music. We just needed to include the following statement in our description to use it:

"Right Behind You"

Re-shoots

Re-shoots are a used in a situation when the director is not content with the already filmed shots and wishes to go back over them to shoot them again in a different way. This can be because of issues with the original shots or due to creative reconsideration.

Whilst looking back at the already shot footage, we noticed that Rebecca had accidentally changed her costume between shots so we needed to go back and re-shoot some of the original scenes. Thankfully she was the only one on screen at the time and no hard to setup makeup was required.

13th April

Today is out final day of filming. We have everything except for the interiors shot. We left this until the last filming day as exteriors were the most risky shots to film due to all the problems that could occur: weather, other people, cars, etc.

We already had refrence video from the original bad camera that we used so we just tried to recreate those shots using the new higher quality camera which saved us plenty of time.

Location scouting

We decided to use my street as the setting for the exterior shots and used my house as the interior shots. The house that the two are seen walking into isn't actually the same house used for interior shots as we felt that the exterior shots needed to be closer to the end of the street, so instead we used Rebecca's house.
