FX

As well as the fake blood, I tried to create fake bruises on to my dead bodies as this can help add to the effect that they have been brutally attacked by my main protagonist. In order for me to make the bruising look realistic I looked up tutorials on YouTube for how others have done it.
 

To create the fake bruising I first prepared the area where the bruise was going to go, I then added 3 eye shadow colours: a light brown shade, a dark blue shade to the part and a dark purple shade. Depending on how old I wanted the bruise to be I added more of one colour which helped to give this effect. Overall I find this to be effective enough to use in my final piece, as even though it may not look extremely realistic it will still be able to convey the idea that the person has been badly bruised.

 

 



Testing

For my opening I will be using fake blood on my 'dead bodies', I managed to order a small amount of fake blood which is used for Halloween online, however what I ordered is not enough for what is needed in my opening, so instead of buying some more I have decided to create some fake blood using golden syrup, water, red food colouring and some blue food colouring.

The ingredients used to make the fake blood and the blood itself

Here are some images of me practicing on how it will look in the bathroom as well as on the dead bodies.

 From my first testing of making the fake blood I realized that the colour of the blood is too light  (looks more pink then dark red) for the effect which I want, so when I create my blood for the production I will add more red food colouring to make it more darker. The fake blood which I have also created is really helpful as one of my actors is allergic to the fake blood which I purchased and the blood I have created does not cause my actor an allergic reaction.

Permission

For my opening I decided to have one of the locations based at my local park, and I am planning on using a fake knife during my filming at this location in order to be able to film there I notified my local police on the location on where the recording will be taking place and the day and time frame in which I will be there, the people who will be there and that I will not be filming the actual 'stabbing'.

This is the Email which I sent them:

Script

Although none of my characters will be speaking during the filming of my opening, there will be a voice over used during shots 1 - 3 and 17-21 to help give the audience a small idea for as to what is going on and small hints for as to why she may be doing all these killings but also if i decide during editing that my opening will be better without the voice over then i can easily get rid of it.

A death of a loved one is hard to cope with even more so when they killed themselves because of someone.. someone who has nothing better to do than make somebodies life any worse then what it may have already be, but as many people say the soul still lives on {evil laugh} and boy! aren't they right, as often, if someone was the cause of their death their souls seek out for revenge by any means necessary [end of part] (fades out in shot 4).


Opening shots play with no voiceover (shots 5-18)


(Voiceover begins from shot 19-21)

... And man when they do the killers better watch their backs because there is nothing which you can do to stop them. [end of voiceover]

Storyboard

Below you will see my storyboard for the opening of my film. This will be used as a rough guideline to determine what my production will look like and can be subject to change slightly depending on what I think will be best for my production.

 Synopsis

My film follows the story of Amelia Coughlin as she tries to seek revenge for those who caused her sister, Eva, to commit suicide which was caused from the constant bullying from other students at her college. Amelia believed that on the anniversary of her sisters death she saw Eva's spirit and finds herself becoming possesd by Eva's spirit to seek revenge for her death from those who were the cause of it. Slowly one by one those who caused the bullying disappeared. The film will be based in the modern day with the idea of Amelia's psychological state after her sisters death and is based around depression and ADHD. The film will include the stereotypical eerie music which is used in the majority of horror films. The costumes used will represent the disorientation which Amelia is feeling as she will mainly be only suited in her pyjamas as well as through the state of her house.
