Props and Filming

During the Easter holidays we forgot our equipment; therefore we couldn’t do any filming during the Easter holidays. However this worked well for us as it was hot and sunny during the Easter holidays and we needed it to be dull and raining when we done our filming in the cemetery. Therefore when we went back to school and the whether was raining we done our filming in the cemetery. Filming the funfair scene we needed and extra person to help us direct. We already had five characters in our thriller, which all needed to be filmed. So Alma Futu came with us why we filmed this scene to help us direct what we were doing.

The props we used included; knife, clothes/costume, and a black jacket. The knife was used for Edwin to hold to show that he was going to kill Karishma and Tobi. We thought a lot about our costume and what we were going to wear for each scene. For example for the funeral scene I was wearing black as this can be used to symbolise dark/murder/mysterious/death. And also because people wear black at funerals. Te black jacket was used to represent the villain and the murderer.

We all contributed to the work as a group. We all met up and decided on what we wanted to film, how we was going to film it and also costumes. We all came up with ideas and said what we thought would work well, and what we thought wouldn’t work well. Then we all decided how we wanted our thriller to look and what we wanted to include in it. We followed by our storyboard, apart from two scenes which we decided to take out. We took them out because there was too many scenes and they were too complex for our thriller. It also took up too much time as we already had enough footage.
