Milhan unit 3 and 22: May 2023

Thursday, 25 May 2023

It's be easy to film in since it's accessible. It's something where all of us will be able to go to. The lighting is great because it can be dark swell because of the shadows. When we go in a gloomy scene we can use the shadows for help to set the scene. This is great since we will have a variety of lighting. There is also so much space in the forest with some greenery. This location is creative since not many horror films have a forest as their main source of location. It matches well since it's eery and you don't know whats out there. This shows us that in the film you don't know what will happen next so this will contrast to that. The place where will be filming will be fine. Since it's free to go to and we're allowed to film. We have free access to this place. As a backup option we will go to Fairlop waters, this is because it's similar to Hainult forest. They both have trees, and it's easy accessible.

House:

A house is very easy to film in since it's available to use at anytime. Since it's one of the persons group house, it'll always be available. We are able to use any equipment in the house as well, so we wouldn't have to waste that much money. Also we have curtains to make the lighting more or less. This is creative since we are able to add stuff and use our creative minds to make things work out. Since a household has many items, we can use the items to change how the location looks. It has multiple items which we are able to use as props. As the backup location we can use either Harleen or Yunus's house which is similar to Milhan's house. This is because the location also has curtains, props and rooms.

School:

School is very easy to film in since it's available to use at anytime. Anything we want we are able to use it. We are accessed with any options whether to go outside or stay inside. We can change the lighting how ever we want, because we are accessed to redhead lights. This means that we are able to change how the lighting looks. The location is creative since we are able to make the room look like other locations. E.g the media room we can act like that's a jail room and an office. Backup location is someones house since we can manipulate the rooms to look like something else. By using the school we are able to manipulate it to make the room look like something else. We can get props for our house and make it look like a office etc. As a backup location we can use Yunus's house since it's a similar location since he has a office.

Outside:

Since we will be going outside, we can film in front of the police station. Or anywhere, we are able to go too. The outside area will be here in chadwell heath since there is loads of locations which will be situable for our film. This means that we can change locations in the area and find a suitable place for each of the different scenes. This is creative since it's close by and we can change locations as Ive pointed out before. Also we are able to see the weather on the weather app and use it to determine whether it want it to be gloomy or sunny. As a backup location we will use a outside but a different location outside. Such as the area Barkingside since they have similar places like Chadwell heath. A police station, park and much more.

Sound Effects Board Blog

Breathing/panting

For the beginning of our movie, there will be two FBI's running/chasing an escaped convict. This sound effect goes perfectly well with this scene as we will be running and it will show us breathing and panting heavily, which helps make it look more realistic.

Wind

This sound effect will be used quite a bit in the movie. This indicates that we are outside and will help give a more realistic setting. This effect will also give an eerie feeling towards the audience as wind can sometimes feel unsettling.

Gun shots

Gun shot sounds will be used maybe once or twice by one of the FBI's who spots the convict. Using this sound will help make the scene feel more real and thrilling, as the audience will be left wondering whether the convict was shot or not.

Heart beating

The heart beat sound effect will be used for when one of the FBI's sense something is wrong around them. In this part of the scene, the Skin-walker is close and the FBI senses them close by. Their heart pace starts to quicken until suddenly their vision goes blurry then all dark.

Crows

Crows in general symbolise 'Transformation' and 'Change'. The crows sound effect will start to surround the FBI and Skin-walker as the Skin-walker slowly starts to take over the FBI's mind. This will later be understood as we see a change in the FBI who has a spell on them.

Baby cry/baby rattle

The baby sounds and baby rattle will be used to lure the FBI to the Skin-walker once the FBI and their team mate get separated. It is then when the FBI starts to feel something is off and unsettling. This also leaves the audience feeling creeped out and confused as to why there would be a baby in a forest in the first place.

Giggling

Giggling will be heard from a distance at different times of the beginning to give a creepy feeling towards the audience. This sound also indicates that the Skin-walker is near by, so in simpler words its more of a warning sound to alert those who are in danger.
