Makeup
For the makeup, i am going to use face paint by 'Snazeroo' and also makeup cosmetics. I also have 3D wax to create a gunshot on Sarah Smiths head to show where the bullet hit and killed her, the 3D wax looks very realistic, making it look like there is a real hole in her skull. The face paint can be used to show blood dripping from the hole in her skull and any other places that were injured or stabbed by the intruders. The makeup will emphasis the fact that Sarah is dead by adding bags under her eyes using eye shadow and also using a contouring kit to make the characters face look really skinny and lifeless, i will also use either face paint or pale foundation to make Sarah look like the blood has been drained from her face.

key features of the film
About the key features of the film
We decided to go to Lower hailstow too film our main task; we decided to do this because the location is very old and creepy looking which links well to the theme of our film. Also next to the house there are some woods which give emphasis and make the house look even more daunting.
We decided to chose the theme of horror because, each person in our group all thoroughly enjoy watching horror films and enjoy the thrill, we know many people who also likes horror things and most student in our class like horrors too. This also links to the target audience being teenagers to young adults; we chose this as our target audience because, we know more about teenagers and young adults and would know what they enjoy and what they don’t enjoy.
The reason we decided to add a 999 call during the whole of the clip is because, t really adds a sense of thrill to the clip and a sense of dramatics. We also thought this is a new idea which is very different. This is also why we decided to choose flashbacks in the film.

Risk assessment
Risk Assessment list
We don’t need to think about that many risks in our film however there are a few being:
1. Fake blood, we need to assure we use this safely and be aware of where we are putting the blood and make sure it’s away from our eyes etc. we will also be very careful when handling the fake blood so we don’t spill any of it on the floor.
2. We also need to be careful of the shattered glass; we will place a plastic mat on the floor so no glass will go into the carpet. Also, we will handle the glass very carefully.
3. We will be using a knife as the knife is on the floor we won’t be holding it, however we will make sure we are very careful and keep aware when walking around.

Props and costumes
When filming for our main task we will need various different props and costumes. we will use props such as fake blood, synthetic cuts, knives and broken glass, when using these props we will carry out a risk assessment to ensure that all the props we used are used safely and sensibly.
The fake blood will be used to put on the carpet of the living room and other places in the house to add to the horror conventions, the blood will also be on the actor of the girl in the film during the flashbacks to show she has been killed.
synthetic cuts will also be used to add to the fact that shes been killed, there will be clues scattered around the room to add to the enigma as to how she has been killed, so broken glass will be on the floor along with a knife with fake blood on it.
A phone will be used for the girl laying on the floor with it in her hand with the 999 call up on the phone when she is laying on the floor to link in with the 999 call that will be played throughout.
The costumes used will be a casual outfit for the girl with rips in her clothes to give the idea that shes been attacked also we will back comb her hair so that it looks messy. Fake blood will be on her belly with a rip in her top and a synthetic cut showing.
For the set design during the present time the house will be bright but look quite empty and abandoned, we will do this by using old furniture and ornaments to make the house look quite mysterious and scary. Fake blood and glass will be scattered around the rooms in the house during the flashbacks with the furniture moved around and changed a little so that you can tell the difference between the present time and the flashback. low key lighting will be used in the flashbacks and high key lighting will be used in the present time to create a negative effect in the flashbacks.

Shot Schedule
The shot schedule will show the order in which we'll film each clip.
Shot number 1. Exterior-Outside the house: Wide shot of the house from far away. To do this we'll use a tripod then push in closer towards the front door.

Shot number 4. Interior- Living room: We will start by showing a wide shot of the room and then do a hand held tour of the room.
Shot number 8. Interior- Living room/corridor: The corridor is our master shot, the camera always goes back here after touring the rooms.When the camera pans back to the corridor it will go back to using the original effect to show present day.

Shot number 10. Interior- Corridor/kitchen: The camera slowly moves back up the corridor and pans left again to the kitchen. Here our 2 minute clip finishes.
Shot number 5. Interior- The flashbacks will begin the camera will push in to extreme close ups of important objects.
