Group Roles

Now we were fully into the planning stage, we needed to have sorted our main roles to keep ourselves organised as well as have them put on our title sequence.

Gareth was chosen to be director as he wanted to be in charge on the days of filming. He was confident that he would be best for this position.

I, Tom was put as producer so I was like project manager in a sense and made sure everything was ready for filming day.

Dom was in charge of the camera and did most of the filming. It was up to him if he was happy with the camera was positioned etc around the shot.

We all played equal roles in making sure we had the props ready for filming including fake blood, iPod and headphones.

I took charge of the music and sound because I had most experience with sound editing. I looked up and found music suitable for what we wanted. I then mixed then made them shorter so they fit properly with the film.

Storyboards

Here are the storyboards for our horror film. Our title sequence consists of shots swapping between the driver and the group of teenagers. The storyboards show how we intend to film the story. They also show how we intend to edit the clips to together and what music we are using. We have also timed the shots so we have a rough estimate of how long it will be as it needs to be below 2 minutes.

Here our first scene starts with the driver getting out of the car, we will be following these during filming as we are all happy about how the shots are going to filmed. Also these give clear instructions to the actors so they know what they are doing also.
