Possible location: Cantelupe road, ilkeston







There are plenty of different pieces of equipment that we could use in our film, the only thing that could possible be an issue is the wide spacing of the swings, slide etc.

MOVING PICTURES (STORYBOARDING) THE SIXTH SENSE



What is the purpose of story boarding?
To enhance the screenplay by adjusting the angles they are going to have in the scenes.
Since no film can be made without storyboarding, it can also give clear directions to the
cameraman of how to demonstrate the shots.
How does it show lighting, movement and angles?
-Sharpening the focus point of the scene
-Blackening to show where should be lightened and darkened, and where the characters' shadows should be placed
-Drawing arrows to direct the way the characters or camer should move
-Giving the ideas of the scene and cameraman might be able to adjust the angles they're going to take to fulfill the designed scenes.

Our chosen actors



 We chose to use Katie Bee for our female lead as she is average height therefore she could easily be made into a young girl especially as our male lead, Matt Smith, is much taller.

We have chosen Matt Smith as our male lead because he is fairly tall therefore he is expected to not be easily scared, adding more fear to our horror film as he will be frightened.

silent hill opening


This opening creates fear from the very beginning as the little girl is standing near to a waterfall edge which would lead to her death if she fell, creating tension from the start. The ritualistic and sacrificial sounds that we can hear makes us stare down into the darkness, waiting for what is coming next. The birds eye angle shot shows how vulnerable the girl is as she is tiny in comparison to her surroundings. From this it is evident that high angle shots should be used in our own film to make the protagonist seem weak and vulnerable.
