Pre-Production
In order to get everything ready for the filming day we needed to organise a date and time, a camera, props, travel to the location, etc. Originally we'd set a date to film on the 5th of March; we'd secured a camera (provided by the school) and but due to weather conditions and illness we had to cancel. This made later filming difficult because we needed a camera but the school's ones were booked.
We changed the filming date to the 19th of March; we would leave at 1:20pm (beginning of lunch time) to give us enough time to get to the location. Louise had secured travel to the car park of Hutton Country Park where we then walked across extremely muddy and boggy fields to get to the house. Because we needed a camera we all had a look to see who had the best one; Sean finally found one.
The next thing we needed were props; we went on a Monday searching everywhere to find everything we needed. In the end we got face paint from The Factory Shop in Basildon; fake blood and liquid latex in Props and Frocks in South Woodham and black paint from Asda in Basildon. Sean also got hold of a tripod from the school so that it would help keep the shots level and it would be easier to take establishing shots.
We had to organise the costume, we knew it was going to be muddy so boots, trainers, wellies were needed and to dress warm because it was in the middle of a field and it would surely get a lot colder filming late afternoon.
In order to film there we needed to fill out a risk assessment so we knew it would be safe to film; there was glass on the floor near broken windows, bricks, wood and debree everywhere which made it dangerous to walk around. I went to the location before hand to check it out and see for myself the risks but it turned out to be okay and we knew exactly where to go and where not to and also told everyone before we went in/around the house to watch our step.
