Pre Production
Creating final script
Draft 1
Tom Woodcock- Teacher. Set the scene more, explain to the audience is this her home and why is she home alone. What is she doing when it happens, why is she texting her friend.
​
Lilly peers, Set the scene more because right now it jumps into it very quickly and its leaving the audience confused.
​
Mia Wibsey, include the character of Abigail more and explain what they are texting about. Why did Harriet send a picture to Abigail because right now she has just sent a random picture and the audience don't know why.
Feedback
Draft 2
Feedback
I had feedback from my supervisor Sam Gamble. He said characters coming into direct conflict with each other over their imperfections, such as a ex-college. He also said explain more about what be real is. For the 3rd draft I need to explain more why the villain is in Harriet's house and what he wants (wants and needs.
Location establishing
This is where I will be shooting my film , inside this house. The inside has got lots of room for me to carry out this film and certain aspects of the house help to bring the horror theme alive.
Giving Roles
Harriet- actor
Ella- Actor, cinematography

Cast,Crew
Back up Actors
Back up crew
I made this mini table so i know if i need to use a back up i can easily identify what days they are available and not.
Group chat
I made a group chat so we an all inform each other what's happening and fix our worry's and problems we may face. I have also informed the backups with the shooting days and they are available just in case of emergency.
I used snapchat because my crew are most likely to respond on this app than something like WhatsApp, this way we can stay in touch and work in a organised environment.
Location Recce
Rehearsals- 30/11/22
To Do list- staying organised.
So my actors felt comfortable with what we are doing i got them to help me make act 1 really briefly (not at a high standard) and this helped them understand who theory character is and what its going to be like when filming the real thing. I shot this on a i phone because its a rough draft and not supposed to look good, this was only made for directly us to see what the story looks like and get comfortable with the script.
Rough Draft, Act 1
This is obviously a draft due to the poor camera use and few scenes with poor acting. This is not something that concerns me due to the fact this was just for us to get a feel of what its like in the filming environment. This is a first time for us all.
Practicing reading scripts with actors
Risk assessment
Shot list
Actor dropping out
New Actor
Due to someone dropping out I had to change the script from the name Abigail to Ben, this wasn't a problem and I'm glad it happened earlier on in production rather than later.
Equipment
Equipment booked out
Final Script
Something that makes my script very different to others is I'm using a app during my film called Be Real, this app has not been around for long and no films/short films have been made around this app.
Consent/signatures
Taking pictures on collage camera of chose locations
This has been helpful because I can get a feel of what the scenes are going to look like on the collage camera. I'm happy with the lighting and the lights are also adjustable so I can turn them down or up if needed.
Setting up the equipment
Practise syncing audio
This is something I was very nervous about but after trying to do it and watching a video I think I have done a good job for my first time.
Clapper
To stay organised i downloaded a app on a iPad (clapper) this will help me to know what scene i'm on
Printing script
I printed off the script because when i come to film the actors can see what they need to do next, this is also because we can keep track on what scene we are on.
