Filming Begins!

Filming the trailer begins!

Before we stated any filming we knew we had to create a time schedule to make sure the locations were free and that everyone in our group knew where to go and what we were doing.



Even having such a schedule we still came across some problems. As most filming was in our school there were many things preventing us from filming wherever we wanted. When starting our first day of filming, we needed to use a classroom but found it was in use and we needed to request permission from our teacher to use it. So, we went in search of another free classroom and luckily found one in which we were given a key to use.

Secondly, for a scene in our trailer we needed to have a shot of the school database system when our teacher, 'joel' is looking for the students details. Because only the teachers can access this, it would have been a violation for us to use it and so we had to overcome this problem by making our own one. It may not have the same effect but it still fulfilled the function and conveyed the same message to the audience.

Furthermore, we encountered another problem when wanting to use the school library which we needed for the computer use. We overcame this by writing a letter to one of the members of staff explaining we would cause little disturbance. Hoping to get an instant response, luckily we were allowed that day and managed to complete the scene.


Filming shots on the Heath

To get the full experience & creepy atmosphere we had to arrange to meet up at 5pm. By this time it would be dark but not so dark that we couldn’t see anything. We needed a shot which would finish our trailer when Evee would be walking home and Mr Lynch following her. We recorded a scream as well which would be used at the end when our Title would be played and took some stills from our filming.
