Ideas and Planning, in 1 big chunk (To be Continued)




The Images featured here were taken by me as a 'Reccie' so our group could get an idea of the film locations, they feature Coity Church and a Main Road street in Coychurch , the idea of filming in Coychurch was dropped on the grounds that it was awkward for certain members to get there, we are also filming in Pencoed Common but sadly I haven't had the chance to go there to take a photo yet with rain and other problems.












For our film we felt we should be using examples of other peoples work to use as ideas and to provide us with an idea as to how we would go about filming different parts (such as the car scene) e.g. we used the various THINK! adverts as a basis on how to go about filming a car hit and run and also how to make a ghost seem particularly frightening.
    we have produced a list of shots we are going to shoot to make our film scenes.
They are as follows.,-


Scene 1 - Church


- Aaron Needed
- Church Grounds


Establishing shot of church/ dark figure. (Aaron.)


Panning or side of Aaron on bench somewhere.


Over the shoulder shot of flowers in his hands.


Ripping up of petals. (Close up.)


Panning or close up of his face (with tears)  multiple shots.


Aaron looking distressed, running his hands through his hair. (Low angle shot.)


Scene 2- Flash back (car crash)
-       Car driving down a road. – long shot – from front on.
-       Side shot car driving past- mid close up
-       Shot of girl
-       Over the shoulder the shot of person texting in car- medium close up.
-       Panning of girl walking across the road.
-        Close up of what they are texting.
-       Shot of girl startled in head lights – mid shot from infront of car.
-       * Screech of brakes.
-       Mid close up of car door opening
-       Close up of phone falling to the floor. 
-       Hand held camera movement to girl lying on floor. (checking pulse)- just hands.
-       Low angle shot if boy running away. – girls outline visible in shot + headlights.

Scene 3 – Haunted- church/ castle grounds

-       Quick cuts from photo/petals/girls face etc.
-       Quick cut to mid close up- dead girl sitting next to him on bench.
-       Boy falls to the floor from angle of ghost
-       From angle of boy looking up at bench, nothing there.
-       Long shot of boy running way.

- High angle shot of Aaron running into church grounds.
- Stops, close up of face-   shows fear.
- Hand held camera approach him from behind. – quick.

- Moves, phone falls from pocket- close up.
- Runs into staircase.. high angle from the stairs.

This is our Thriller Mood-Board we created it using Photoshop,
 rather than Olio Board as we found the latter rather temperamental.
- extreme long shot, low angle looking up at castle tower (candles go out) – scream.














Advert we used to help us with our ghost
We used the film above as we thought the idea of having a ghost that only appeared to 1 person like an hallucination that followed you around everywhere you went, very spooky and quite sinister so we decided to incorporate those characteristics into our film.


We also looked at other films which featured similar themes and happenings (an accident (preferably a car accident) with a ghost returning to haunt the perpetrator )

Such films that we used other than the various THINK! road safety adverts included 'Hit and Run' and 'Soul Survivors' because the main idea of those films is very similar to ours.
