Shooting Schedule

Here is our shooting schedule, to help organise ourselves and keep track of time so we know how much time we have to shoot.



As you can see, the shots will not be filmed in numerical order. This is due to our actors not being free at the same time as each other.

Storyboard - Final

This is our storyboard with images to explain each shot.

COMING THIS HALLOWEEN

Research For New Narrative

Our new narrative seemed to be a good idea however we realised in order to make our trailer realistic and believable, we decided to research by looking at real life stalker stories.

Narrative - Final

This is the final narrative for our horror film. Changed have been made including the plot/storyling and character names.

Narrative - Draft

My group and I came up with this detailed narrative. However, we changed the plot due to difficulties in filming scenes for our trailer and our new narrative seemed to fit the conventions of horror better.

This is the draft narrative including an idea for a tagline:

Horror Parody/Homage

In order to familiarise with filming and to see which skills need to develop, we created a parody/homage of horror films including Halloween, Scream, Nosferatu and Daracula.
This helped to understand the vitalness of having a planned schedule and storyboard.
