First Day Of Filming: 1st December.2009

Me and my group all set out to go to shoot at Tooting Bec Park in the morning at approximately 9:30am. It was a very cold day and proved winter has officially arrived. Once we reached the park we set up all our equipment and started to choose where about in the park we wanted to shoot. We found a scene which was sounded by a lot of trees. We thought this would be a good setting to shoot. The establishing shot that we did first was of a dead body being examined/ photographed by a police detective. We used a plain white sheet to cover the body and sprinkled fake blood on top. The dead body was acted by one of my group members (Mariam) and the detective was a media teacher in our school. We made sure when setting up our shooting equipment that it was also in a well lit area which would look best when shooting and give a better quality.

After this scene was shoot our actress girl who was, Jasmine (The Producer) and another group member of mine. Before jasmine got changed into her costume we went to one of my group member car and doe her make up, we made sure that Jasmine (actress)had a light colour foundation on, white contacts and blood running down the right side of her face. We did this to make her look frightening. Once the make-up was done the actress got changed into a white nighty which she was very cold in… as it was very cold me and Jasmine went to the car to warm up. Whilst we were doing that my group were shooting a hand held camera shot and added a bloody hand at the end of the scene, we used a panicking voice to promote fright and panic. After this was done me and Jasmine returned and started getting jasmine into her position, she was going to be coming closer and closer to the camera in single shots. I was filming this and was happy with how it turned out.

Once we were out of the cold and back into the warmth we headed to Sufia’s (group member) house and started to get ready to shoot the bath tub scene. This scene was slightly difficult as the actress’s nose kept on getting water up her nose when she went under the water. The actress struggled to push her self up from the water quick which we wanted to aim for. So to resolve this I held down the actresses feet whilst the shot was being taken. This helped and the actress, she was then able to push herself up a little better.

The final shoot of the day that we was going to do was the crab/crawling scene. We got this idea from the exorcist and thought it would be scary. This scene was simple as all the actress did was push her self up in a crap position on the floor. This worked really well and did give a spooky effect.
