This will be set in a place which looks almost empty with no people, just a temple, grass, a few trees & bushes.

For the main actor we plan on making him look scruffy with dirt on his clothes, as if he woke up from a hangover. He’ll be confused and lost with a really bad headache.

Dark clothing for the victim

Equipment:

When we using the equipments, we have to be extra careful inside and outside of college. The equipments are costly and if anything happens to the equipments, the cost will fall on our shoulders. We have been given a tutorial on how to use the equipments and how to handle them with care. The lessons learnt in tutorial will be used in action.

Software:Over the half of the course period, we have learnt on how to use Final Cut Pro. We have learnt how to edit videos, add soundtracks and make a title sequence. We also learnt how to use Soundtrack Pro in order for us to make a custom soundtrack, by mixing different sounds, for our thriller opening.

Skills audit to date

There are many risks that should be taken into factor when shooting for the movie. For example, the camera can be mishandled.

For some of our effects we have to stay cautious when we use our props for example, like the kunai. We have to make sure we don’t mishandle it.

Make sure people are aware of tripods or any other equipment so nobody falls over

Make sure health & safety forms are filled in.
