Time and Dates for filming

When it comes to filming continuity is key so we have to make sure that the lighting and scenery will remain the same. We are filming outside this meant we had to check the sunset times for each day and the weather so we know whether we can film on particular days. As the sunset time changes by three minutes everyday so each day we will have to film earlier than the last. Here we can see which day it will be the best weather and when to start filming.  

Storyboard

Me and Yasmin both started our story boards this week, we decided to split the work and do half the story board each. Once completed we will scan it into the computer so we can animate it add any sound and dialogue. 

Location shots

When deciding on a location me and Yasmin both thought somewhere secluded and open would be a good place as it set the scene for the horror film. We looked at different horror films to see their scenery and what we could do so it would fit in with our genre. Me and Yasmin decided to go into to Sandwich, where we will be filming to, to take picture so we had a general idea of how shots would look. Although these shots are in daylight we will be filming in the evening when it's darker.

Character biography

 I'm now going to make a profile for each of my characters which will show their credentials, general interests and personalities.


Nathan:

 This is what Nathan will dress like, jack wills, hollister and hoodies.  He is the leader of the group and is a typical Jack the lad, he is a joker and is the one the rest of the group turn to when planning something. He likes to watch films like pineapple express, the hangover, the inbetweeners movie and super bad. He is popular in school and is also the captain of the football team.  Nathan is seventeen years old and enjoys going out with his mates and showing off infront of them. Nathan is from an affluent background so can afford whatever he wants to and likes to show off with his affluence.




    Pete:

t

This is Pete he is Nathan's best friend he has known him for the longest. Pete is the joker of the group and enjoys making everybody laugh by pulling stupid pranks. He is from a middle class background, Pete is not very bright so is often not sure what is happening. Pete is also very immature and sometimes embarrasses his friends. Pete is also popular and known around the school as being a "laugh" he seems to get along with everyone and doesn't take anything too seriously. He is also seventeen years old and plays on the football team.

Tom:

This is Tom he is seventeen years old, he is also middle class and plays on the football team. He wants approval from Nathan and others so tends to make stories up which many people don't believe. Most people like him as he doesn't say a bad word about anyone and is harmless.  He likes to play on his xbox on such games as halo, call of duty and assassins creed.

Josh:

This is Josh he is also seventeen but is more the oddball of the group. He is the only one of the group who isn't in the football team, he likes to be more independent than the others.  He is the one out of the group who will think of the consequences before he does something.  Josh is the one who will question things more, he is the most intelligent and enjoys art. The other boys tend to play more jokes on him but he doesn't mind and likes to feel part of the group.

Initial Script

This is the initial script idea some aspects of the script may change the further we plan

We see four boys around a camp fire one of the boys is about to start telling the rest of the boys a campfire story

John: Alright I've got a good story for you all, its a true story about the boys who last camped here.

Mat: yeah alright of course it's true, go on then start

John: Well four boys named Nathan, Josh, Pete and Tom all came here camping

Ed: There the name of those boys in year 12 that went missing

John: well yeah I told you it was true, anyway they all decided to come camping...

As John starts to tell the story it cross fades into the story. Two boys have already set up camp while the other two are on their way in the car. As they get their stuff out of the car they bump into a man.

Josh: Oi watch it mate yeah?

Nathan: What a creep!

We see them walk off as they do the man looks over his shoulder. He looks sinister. Both the boys continue to walk over to the camp where the other two boys are.

Pete: What took you two so long? We've been here ages

Nathan: We were getting out the car and Josh bumped into some guy and he just stood there as if we owed him something after that, I just laughed and walked off.

Josh: He was the weirdest looking guy I have ever seen in my life. He was wearing like all black with some hat on just staring at us.

Tom: We saw a guy like that before staring at us, probably some old man who doesn't think we should be camping here or something

The two boys proceed to put there belongings in the tent all of them are talking as Josh looks over to the bench and sees the man again

Josh: Boys look there he is again what is his problem?

Pete: Where let me have a look

Josh: just over there

As the boys look to where Josh was looking the man has disappeared

Tom: what you on about mate? There's no one there your seeing things

The boys continue to sit around the camp Josh has another look but can't see anything

Nathan: Fancy a game of footie lads?

Pete: yeah alright then mate

All the boys begin to play football they are playing a match when the ball goes offside and into some bushes near a hut and old battered white sign

Josh: it's alright lads i'll get it

as he picks up the ball he looks up and sees the man again staring at him through some bushes

Josh: (whispering) come over here you have to see this, I knew I wasn't just seeing things.

As the boys come over and look the man leaves again

Nathan: Mate what's wrong with you, your going crazy there's no one there. Josh do you want to sleep with the light on tonight?

Tom: HAHAHA I should have invited my little sister down she's less of a girl than you

It cuts back to the original story

Nick: Well this is obviously bull shit, how can a man just disappear?

John: It is true, mate I'm no bullshitter

The boys continue talking we see the boys around the campfire from the perspective of somebody else, it seems very sinister.

John: Anyway as I was saying

It goes back into the story.

Josh: Shut up, I know I saw him there. Do you not thinks its weird that some creepy old guy is just following us about? You won't be taking the piss when he comes and kills us all will ya?

Pete: mate you just need to calm down a bit why don't we do something? Lets go and play some more footie

The boys walk to another field to play as they are walking the man is in the field watching them as they walk past none of the boys notice him though they go into the field and start to play football. Josh notices a figure standing up on an embankment the figure is stood staring at the boys.

Josh: look guys you can't say you can't see him now he's following us.

Nathan: it's probably just someone walking their dog your way too paranoid lets just have a nice game of footie.

They begin to play football again Josh looks over to the embankment and see that the man has now gone. He starts to believe that he is just seeing things

Josh: maybe you're right. This isn't the type of place that you see on the news because someone has been following a group and murdered them.

Pete: exactly mate, there's nothing to worry about, well only the fact that your losing and you now have to go and get the ball.

Josh proceeds to get the ball which has gone into the trees which leads to a different entrance. He is gone for a few minutes the boys start to get worried the boys go to have a look for him. They find the football but there is no sign of Josh but the football is there. One of the boys picks the football up.

Nathan: JOSH!! look mate we know we didn't believe you but you don't have to play stupid tricks on us it aint going to work so you might as well come out now.

Tom: yeah just come out so we can get on with the match, it aint even funny any more it's just annoying

The boys continue to look but can't find him anywhere

Pete: You don't think it could be true? That there was a man following us and now he has Josh?

Nathan: Nah like Josh said things like that don't happen round here does it?

Tom: But what about that story about the four boys that came camping and that man followed them and they were never seen again.

Nathan: That's just some stupid story people tell to scare people, look josh if you can hear us it's not funny any more and were going back to play footie join us once you get bored of doing this.

The boys start to walk back we see the black figure once again watching the boys.

Pete: What we gonna do if he doesn't come back? Just pretend like he was never here?

Nathan: you really think josh isn't going to come back he'll be out in a couple of minutes.

Tom: guys look at this quick can you see him?

The boys look across the field and the black figure is looking at them he is starting to walk over to them he is holding the josh's phone he rings one of the boys they soon realise its him and run

Pete: Josh wasn't even lieing, mate what we gonna do?

Out of breath the boys begin to run into a forest they all take different paths causing them to get separated. Although all three are separated they all continuously see the figure. They meet up by the lake that surrounds the forest where the figure is waiting for them.

ALL : HELP!!!!

We see the figure in full he is dressed as a clown does a clown laughIt returns to the first story

John: And they were never seen again

Nick: I don't believe a word of that mate

Mat: HAHAHA yeah as if something like that happens in a place like this

The camera pans up to the bench further away in the field where a figure is sitting zooms in it is the same man dressed as a clown does the same clown laugh

THE END
