Permission form

Getting the cast and crew to sign the permission form was easily as nobody was reluctant and the 3 actors we needed permission from were all in my ICT lesson.

Horror soundtrack 1


Here is a soundtrack i found that could be used in our project. It is very eery sounding and can add effect to the film.

Film length

Over the weeks a lot of work has been put into the filming and ideas of the project to make it a decent length. We were told at the beginning of the year that the project should be at least 2-3 minutes and a maximum of 5-6. This week we were pleased to see that our film had come to a length of 4 minutes after editing until being told that the project must be a maximum length of 2 minutes. I find this very unfair as the projects made by previous years are all above 2 or 3 minutes. I don't want to cut the film down to 2 minutes as a lot of hard work will be lost and the film won't make much sense.  

Second Day of Editing

Today a lot of work has been done. All of the clips have been put together except for the final scene which can be done quite quickly. We still need to add music and title credits to our film for it to be complete. I feel as though i won't get the grade i deserve for doing around 85% of the groups work.
The only costume item we chose to use was the black zip up hoodie as this would make the killer more mysterious. The rest of the costumes used in 'The Woods' are the casual clothes the actors decided to wear on the day of filming.

Props used

The only prop we used for our project was an old worn hammer we found in kirsty's (friend) garage. The hammer did break during the filming of the production but we quickly solved this problem.
