Evaluation Of Our Filming & Locations

Our group has started some of our filming and there were many good things aswell as improvements which need to be made.

Our trailer is based outside of school therefore there were some complications however we decided to make full use of our time and film some footage in school such as close ups. This was effective because there is less focus on the background when the shot is a close up so our audience will not recognise that it was filmed in school. We filmed shots of Waseem - our main character , in many angles such as establishing shots and close ups. We used close up shots because it allows our audience to see the facial expressions clearer and this will emphasise the fear. We used an establishing shot because it allows our audience to see the costumes clearly.

This costume was effective because it was simple which makes it more realistic and scary. We used a mask because it is part of the generic convention of a slasher movie and we wanted to follow these convention. We used a several sounds during our trailer such as dialogue and diegetic sound.

Majority of our footage will be filmed outside of school hours which was inconvenient because we did not have much to do during lesson times. However, this extra time allowed us to work on our blogs and coursework to improve it. In addition, this has also allowed us to be more independant and complete work outside of school.

We filmed at Russel Square Park because it is a popular location for our target audience according to our questionnaire and it is a well known landmark in London so our audience will be familiar with the location.

We filmed at a block in the Brunswick Centre, London. We chose this location because teenagers often hang out in blocks and live there therefore it will add to the fear if things are happening in places that they are familiar with.

Another location we filmed at was a block in Russel Square. We chose this location because it is often where teenagers hang out therefore they will empathise more.
