Preparing to shoot!

As I have created my risk assessment, I have decided to arrange all acts, props and set(s) as soon as possible. I have decided to use my own home to film in (verisimilitude). The room I used had not been used in a while and became a type of storage space. I had to tidy the room quite a bit, and move larger pieces of furniture into the hall, out of sight from the camera, framed images on the wall and books that didn't bring the minimal theme I had in mind for my miss en scene. I left items that had been stored in the room such as the war time paintings and the old clock because I felt they were interesting, and would make the audience question my character: Why does she have these types of images?, Why does quite a modern, young woman have an old style clock?

I ended up using two actresses (at first, I only used one). The black and white shots are of myself whereas my coloured character, who we see more of the Mollie Greaney.

Task 12 - Audience Research

Audience Research with Fay Troote - age 17.

1. What is you favorite film?

• The Others

2. Who is your favorite actor/s?

• Keira Knightly
• Johnny Depp

3. What actors do you hate?

• Cameron Diaz
• Robert Downey Jr.

4. What are your favorite TV programs?

• The Vampire Dairies
• Awkward.
• The Carrie Diaries 

5. Who do you watch films with?

• Friends and Family

6. Whats films do you watch and when?

• Christmas films at Christmas 
• I don't watch thriller films at night because I get too scared
•  I always watch a horror/thriller film with someone 

I have come to the conclusion that people who watch thriller films are not always violent or dark people- that they can enjoy other genres of film, music or TV and still want to watch dark thrillers.
