Clothing, properties and location

By Nicole McClelland

We have decided to go for the killer in traditional chef whites. This is because its unusual and goes well with the make up of the clown/ joker, white has connotations purity, innocence and life which is great in challenging conventions, it is also very ambiguous it could represent insanity. It looks almost like a straight jacket making it more creepy. Plain black trainers are going to be used just as casual, being in a field you’ll need just casual trainers you

can get mucky. Properties include: knife with fake blood, a fake hand, fake fingers, police tape and a bin bag.

Clothing for killer

Again this clothing is casual and goes with the typical plain teenager look as well as being effective for the outdoors and camping. All dark clothing is often associated with males so fits nicely with the stereotypical representation. The representation of this casual clothing shows the innocence and vulnerability of the victims

Clothing for victims- Males

Clothing for victims- Women

For the female actors I believe being in the location of a woods/ camping area, the need for casual ware is essential. Sensible clothing is a must and must looks realistic to the environment in which being filmed. Due to the age range of being around 17-18 years of age this is very effective clothing. The representation of this casual clothing shows the innocence and vunrability of the victims

Properties-In relation to the killer

For the killer a prosthetic arm is to be used for effect of a body scene in trailer, the hand is very authentic and realistic. The fingers are to be used again to represent a dead body in the woods again having a very good, realistic effect on the trailer. Knife is needed for the killers weapon oppose to a gun, the knife seems to more so suit the role. Plastic bag related to the hand, looking like a dumped body bag again to create suspense within the audience and again is very stereotypical of a horror movie. Fake blood to add to the scary killing scenes to create a realistic more intense scene. All these properties should bring about realism making the trailer as a whole more effective and seem more upbudget, it also shows that as a group we are dedicated to making are trailer as good as possible by spending our own money to create a better effect on the trailer.

Properties in relationto the victims

all these properties to do with the victims are stereotypical to that of camping. We also have got a police tape to again, add to the realistic side of the killing in a take. Already test filming this it looks fantastic. Flash light in relation to the night creates great suspense to the audience. The tents and sleeping bags all have a direct link within camping, the essentials of camping.

Perfect location for the main scene, great for the camping. Extremely scary in the dark and has a section perfect for filming, surrounded with trees and small rivers. Location thought out very well, testing film has been done.

Locations- Coundon ParkFor • Scary

surroundings• Key for camping

or filming paranormal

• Natural sound effects

Against• Could be

interrupted by members of the public.

• Have to make sure you'll be able to get permission to film.

Locations- Coundon Wedge

Again another possible location is the Coundon wedge, very big with acres of public land, with enclosed areas. Very good location, but slightly out of each of our range and takes longer to get too.

• More enclosed than Coundon park

• Further to get too with all the equipment

Locations-The Old Hall

Place is perfect for a former mental institution, its all bill boarded up and fits the idea perfectly. The only limitation is that you cannot actually go within the premises so we can only film outside the premises. We decided that this would be perfect inserts.

For Against

• Great in relation to a possible old asylum

• Abandoned as such

• Run down setting

• Dangerously run down • Have to get permission

to step on and film on the premises

Location- Tamworth Road

Perfect location for a death, action scene. Lots of trees and graves, the church is very old in style. It has the mould and old infastructure makes it very effective. It is also extremely creepy in the dark with a lot of natural creepy noises.

For • Creepy• Old styled

Against• Busy Traffic due to

it being a main road

• Busy with school kids due to being near a primary, secondary school as well as a hotel.
