Technical Research - Filming Schedule and Locations

Filming Schedule

 

This is our filming schedule which shows all the dates in which we filmed all the scenes and all that would be involved during these shoots.

 

Locations

This picture shows the different locations which we filmed in and who we would then need permission from and when we would be filming each of the scenes.



Technical Research - Costume

Costume

For the costume, we chose to have Emily look like a traditional bride and wear a white dress, we made her look as if she was a pure character as she is wearing white.

 

However, her costume changes during the film as she is killed and has been dead for five years and has now come back to haunt two people who were around at the time of her death. With her costume, we used make-up to make her look dead and we also dirtied her dress to make her look like she had been in the ground for a long time.

 

 

We also used fake blood to make Emily's wound on her neck look even more real and then allowed the blood to trickle down her neck onto her dress before we then filmed any of the scenes with her in.

Technical Planning - Font Research

This font would be good in horror film which is less scary and has both the genre of horror and comedy. However, you could also use this font in a horror film as it could still work as you could have the dripping down parts as blood which would be quite scary and could potentially make people feel uncomfortable.

This font would be quite good for a horror film because, where it has the cuts in the font, it makes it look like it has blood spatters (the white parts of the font) which would reflect the thought of death and the horror genre as death is a re-occurring convention in the horror genre. In addition, the broken text also reflects on the word 'Imsomnia' as when someone has imsonia they cannot sleep a full cycle and therefore have a broken cycle and therefore feel broken, similar to the font.

Institution Research - 20th Century Fox

 

What do 20th Century Fox specialise in?

20th Century Fox specialise in the genres of Action, Animated, Comedy, Crime and Gangster, Family, Fantasy and Thriller/Suspense, Sci-Fi. 20th Century Fox has distributed some of the most famous films including Avatar, the two Star Wars trilogies, Ice Age, Night at the Museum, Taken, Fantastic Four and many more.  

Their ideology/mission statement:

20th Century Fox have said that as their mission statement is still the same as it was a century ago when they first started producing films, which was "Give people the simple pleasure of being transported by a story on screen".

Does this fit with your ideas?

Our ideas for our film do kind of fit with 20th Century Fox because we do want to give people the pleasure of watching and enjoying our film as it is quite a unique storyline and is not something you always see in a film.

Is your film institution mainstream or indie?

20th Century Fox are a mainstream institution as they produce many films in various different genres - for example, they have made films like Star Wars, Despicable Me, Snow White and the Huntsman etc.

Institution Research - Hammer Horror

Hammer films were founded in November 1934, Hammer is also one of the oldest film companies in the world and celebrates 80th anniversary this year.
 

What do Hammer films specialise in?

Hammer is synonymous with Horror, after defining the genre in Britain with classics such as 'Dracula', 'The Curse of Frankenstein' and 'The Mummy' which then spawned numerous sequels. However, only 1/3 of Hammer films were horror. Other than horror, Hammer also did films in the genre of Psychological Thrillers, Sci-Fi, Noir and Historical Epic. Hammer also had a worldwide box office smash with 'The Woman in Black' along with 'Let Me In' and 'The Quiet Ones' in 2014.

Their ideology/mission statement:

Hammer Studios were seen as the 'major force' within British cinema industry during the 1950's. Hammer Horror also represented alternative strategies which were different to the tendencies of the British Cinema. When Hammer was revitalized, the tradition of British Gothic Horror was marked with national cultural identity, which effectively enabled ideological opposition.

Does this fit with your ideas?

Hammer Horrors partly fits in with our idea because we are trying to do a traditional Gothic Horror with most of the things involved in that i.e. camera shots - and the other general stuff which comes in with Horror, for example, the really 'bloody' costumes that would be needed for characters that would die and then the other types of costume that would be needed - especially for a character who is about to become the killer.

Is your film institution mainstream or indie?

Hammer films is mainstream institution and is based in London, however, they are not as well known because they specialise in Horror and that is not always a popular genre with an audience.













20th Century Fox is an American Film Studio, distributor and one of the six major American film studios which was founded in May 1935 by Joseph M. Schenck and Darryl F. Zanuck.
