Permission To Film

  • This document proves that all Extras and actors gave me consent to film them.It Also proves that all owners of certain property allowed us to film there land as a setting in our film.
  • It is important to consent to film someone or their property as the person may feel uncomfortable if you film them or there setting.
  • If so they may legally be able to sue us demand for the removal of the video or ask for us to blur out their face or even attempt to copyright it.

Soundt Track

Adding in Sound


  • Adding in sound was probably the lengthiest but most important as it is the vary bases of the soundtrack.It had to be appropriate to the tone that the title sequence yet constantly changing to keep the viewer entertained.
  • The sound could be divided into two sections.the beat which contained shaker reverse topper.1 and Clock sync 02.1 and The melodies which were various sounds that  depended on the atmosphere the shot was trying to create(such as the Asian Gamelan 01.1)
  • Me and my partner Tobias Berberich did this by going out and creating two individual soundtracks on separate computers.We decided that my one was the suited  the video best .We then worked to together in finishing and fine tuning it until it was perfect.

  • We dived our video into to individual halves at the beginning of the process.However we needed to make sure that soundtrack fitted into  these halves.
  • We tackled this by noting time when one half ends and the other begins.We then synced the halves of of the soundtrack with the halves of the video.
End Of Soundtrack
  • Another problem we came across was deciding on how the soundtrack would end.
  • We noted when the video ended we then filled in a sound of a piano playing  as set an appropriate atmosphere for ending as well as ending the beat which previously had constantly played in loop through out the whole sound track
  • finally we added in a sound effect in relation to the video effect which is used to end film
Sound Effects
  • After we were satisfied with the initial soundtrack we added in  sound effects
  • these were in relation to the atmosphere or tone a shot set or to amplify or highlight a video effect





Planning and securing locations



Garage 
  • This is where majority of the title sequence is filmed
  • The victim dies here
  • It was a good location as most torture sequences take place in the garage it also is dark adding an element of creepiness 
  • This was in my house so I represented my family giving permission to film here 

Dinning room
  • This is my Dinning room a couple of sequences are filmed here
  • This was a good location as it has the best lighting in the house and therefore could be used for short shots of significance such as doing drugs,spilling blood and solving puzzles
  • This was in my house so I represented my family in  giving permission to film here
Garden


  • This is my Garden
  • This is used for establishing shots and is a nice backdrop for creepy scenes as it creates a Lurid tone
  • This was in my house so I represented my family in  giving permission to film here
Living Room
  • This is my Living room
  • It is dark but allot of light enters from glass door so it is useful in creating silhouettes
  • Also the cracked glass adds an element of suggested horrorThis was in my house so I represented my family in  giving permission to film here
Arkley Lane
  • This is Arkley Lane
  • This is an almost empty road with few house making it the perfect location for a kidnaping due to the fact that it has a lack of cars lots of woodland creating the effect of an isolated location
  • Due to the fact this a public Road I did need to seek out permission 
Exterior of my house
  • This is My house
  • My house is reasonably large and old this is often associated in the horror genre with ghost often referred to as a "Haunted House" this creates a creepy atmosphere
  • This was in my house so I represented my family in  giving permission to film here
Tv room
  • This is the Tv room in kennedy's Boarding house at Aldenham school
  • The main character is supposed to be studying the media for a long time in this shot.However this can only be shown through a time lapse ,multiple people in a boarding house( which could have not done at home )moving around quickly  amplifies hows stationary the main character is.
  • Due to the fact that it was  shot on school site we had to get   permission from Kennedy's House master Mr Irish. He  kindly gave me his signature showing he gave me consent to film on school premises
