Screen Grabs of Our Project

Planning - Dates and Locations

We booked our camera for two over nights during the week in January, we filmed in the location of Ely. We used and orchard in Ely to film our digging scene in the film, this was behind Abby's house in Ely. We left college around 2 to be able to get to Ely so that it was dark enough for the outside scene, but also so that we could film the kitchen scene in natural light and some other inside lighting like lamps. We filmed the kitchen scene in Abbys house in Ely, which was good as it meant that we did not have to go far to get to our two locations making it easier for use to film and also meant we could spend more time filming rather than travelling to the location.

Psycho -Shower Scene

In Psycho by Alfred Hitchcock, the shower scene builds up suspense and fear of the unknown when the female is in the shower and a person with a weapon appears at the shower curtain, this is similar to how we wanted to get our flashback scene to look like. As in our flashback with have the female character washing up which is normal and the kitchen is a very public place as it is somewhere that everyone can relate to, then when the main male character steps into the room behind her who is also unaware like the woman in the shower in psycho, it creates that suspense for the audience as to what the person in the background is going to do.

Location Report

This is our location in Ely where we shot our entire film. In the small black circle on the left of the picture above of the orchard this is where the digging scenes in our film was shot, and to the left of that is that track where the van drove down to get there in the opening sequence.

Target Audience

Our target audience will be to 15 year old and older, anyone under this age may not understand the concept of our clip, a younger audience may not appreciate the silence, and the fact that it doesn't have much going on, whereas the older audience will appreciate the suspense created.
