Our Preparations for Filming!
Today, I will be planning out everything for our film, such as locations, props, actors, costumes, dates, and film equipment!
Location
We haven’t picked a spot yet, but we’ve got a potential empty house that could work for filming the opening scene of our movie at night. A house would really be the perfect backdrop for that scene, so we might also consider using Amaar’s place or my home.
Times and dates
The plan is to shoot after dark since that’s when the scenes will look best. We’re aiming to film during winter break, wanting to wrap up all the shooting before it ends. We’re thinking sometime between the first and second week of that break.
Costume
Figuring out costumes isn’t too complicated. We just need a nightgown for the actor playing our victim. For the serial killer role, which I’ll take on, we’ll go with a black suit, maybe add a mask and cap to complete the look.
Film gear
We’re planning to borrow a camera from an old friend for filming. We’ll also use a lamp to create some flickering effects, and a flashlight will help with the spotlights and shadows on close-up props.
Props
Making props might be a bit tricky. We’ll need things like blood splatters, blood-stained footprints, maybe a fake weapon, and some dolls that fit the theme. For the blood effect, we can use red food dye or paint, and we’ll put that dye or paint on the bottom of a shoe for the footprints. As for the doll, we could either buy a creepy one or take a regular-looking doll and make it look scary with some markers and artsy touches.
Actors
This part is definitely the easiest to figure out. We won’t need a lot of actors since the opening focuses more on the atmosphere and setting. We really just need one actor, who can play both the victim and the spooky serial killer. It should be easy enough for our friend to take on the victim role. I think I’ll handle the serial killer part, which might need someone with a bit more experience.
