Picture credit

I am making this post to give picture credit to Google images, as this is where I found almost all of my images to support my blogs. In addition to this, I want to give video and picture credit to Bobby Jones (bobbyjonesasmedia), this is because I used his editing pictures, also, I would like to give him credit for uploading our main horror task called 'escape'. Here is a link to his YouTube channel- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC08zoJt9e-JYCaTi0Ot83zQ

Media Filming Planning

In January 2017, we decided to plan locations and dates to begin our filming for our short horror film. We arranged where the filming would be, at a local woods where it would be fairly accessible to the whole group. Eastham woods was the final location that we agreed on. Once the location was agreed on, we had to find a date and time that was suitable for everyone in the group, Monday 6th February at 5PM was the date that we all agreed on.



Once Monday 6th February came, we all decided to meet at Christ The King primary school at 5PM, the rain was teeming down, but we still continued and took our equipment into the woods. Once our location was reached, we began to get into place and start filming. After taking some scene setting shots, it became apparent that the environment was far too dark, the people participating in the clip could barely be seen on the camera.


Monday 6th February 5:30PM: Once that we had realised that the area was far too dark to begin filming, we decided to reschedule and go to bidston woods a week later during the daytime.

Monday 13th February: We had now reached bidston woods, the weather was perfect for filming in the woods, it wasn't too dark, but still had a nice shadow from the trees. Once we had all of our clips, we decided to edit the film through adobe after effects to make it appear slightly darker.

Overall, we learned that not everything will go to plan when filming, and that you have to be able to adapt and adjust to any unexpected changes that may take place.

Second Possible Media Audience

Introducing Our Horror Film main Characters...

In our short horror film, we have decided to have two main characters. One of the characters in an innocent teenage boy who is walking through the forest minding his own business. This charter lives a normal life, he goes to school like any other boy and enjoys going out and socialising with his friends. The reason that we have decided to make our main character as 'normal' as possible is because it gives the audience a better chance of making a connection  with the charter, because he can be related to.


The second main character is the killer. The killer is the character who will be hunting down the teenage boy and chasing him through the forest. The main characteristic of the killer is that it wears a mask, the reason behind this is because it makes the character look more intimidating and it also creates a sense of mystery about who the killer is. In terms of personality, there really isn't a lot to say about the killer apart from the fact that it is a deranged psychopath.
