Production Diary 10th December

On the 9th of December and tomorrow on the 11th of December I will be acting in Reagan, Bobby's and Denzil's film. I will be playing  a character who is being followed by the paranormal and doesn't feel comfortable about being at the venue in the first place, my character is always suggesting that we should leave the place and go home because the place doesn't feel right. From acting in the other groups film I have learnt that in my film I have to keep calm when acting and staying in role could  make the difference between a good film and a bad film. If I laugh/laughed when I am the character that is panicking the whole time I have learnt that it makes the film look poor. I have also picked up from acting that the person who is filming has a vital role. The movement in the camera and the zooming and panning can aid massively in making a horror film scary. I had a few tester goes on the camera with zooming at window's that were smashed from a distant to make things look scary and this helped to make their film scary in the build up.

Screening, what will it show?

In our film opening the scenes will be very dark, also there will be flashbacks and imaginations of what could happen. The character will be scared as they do not like being home alone. To make the horror opening scarier there will be a part where the character imagines what is going to happen as they fall into a short sleep, as they wake up they will go on their phone and send a snap chat back. When the phone goes down a face will appear. The idea of flashbacks in the editing process makes it scarier because it makes the audience feel scared of what's happening in the flashback but also leaving them on edge of what could happen when the character wakes up. http://www.hark.com/clips/pwqhzksgdc-scaryflashbacksting-tfx2057 A good sound for a flashback is key, it has to be quite loud and build up tension fast as they shouldn't last long.
