Risk Assesment

Walking down the stairs with the camera while shooting the father: I could fall and break the camera, to reduce this risk I will watch where I stand and I will walk down the stairs slowly.

Taking tripod outside: I could drop or break the tripod as I am walking out the doors, to reduce this risk I will adjust the tripod outside with assistance.

Recording the MM on the pavement: The camera person might get hit by a car, to reduce this risk we will all have to cross the road carefully and not rush ourselves.

Recording in the bathroom: A friend of mine has given me the idea of spreading some fake blood on the floor with some bloody footprints from the MM, while recording there is the risk of accidentally standing on the fake blood and slipping and probably damage the camera. To reduce this risk the camera person will have to take particular caution while recording the footprints leading to the dead body in the bath tub.

Filming schedule

I am planning on asking my teacher if I can book a Tripod and a Camera to be used from the 27th Nov till the 30th Nov.
I will spend the afternoon of the 27th to prepare rooms that I will be using and to familiarize myself to the equipment ready to be used the next day.

The 28th I will need to have Adel who is playing the role of the victim's father, because I will need to shoot his scenes. I am going to be shooting the close ups of the father doing up his laces on both feet, The scene where he walks down the stairs and shouts that he is leaving, close up of him unlocking the door, longshot of the father leaving the house and walking to his car and the close up of the facial reaction when he sees the MM. 
I am also planning to shoot the scene where the MM is seen standing across the road.
I want to shoot the Victim's scene as well which is played by myself, the pan right and left of the bedroom, the close up of her checking her phone. However I might not be able to shoot that scene on that day so my plan B is to shoot that scene on the 29th which I will definitely be able to shoot.

On the 29th I am planning to shoot the scene where there is a long shot of the victim laying dead for that scene I will again play the role of the victim, I also think that I won't be able to film the victim's scenes the day before so I would probably be shooting all those scenes on the 29th instead.

On the 30th I will be returning all the equipment that I have used to my teachers before 9AM.

AFRAID

I have made up ALL the names on my titles except from my own.

Fonts:

This is the font that I'm going to use for my title for my opening scene. I have downloaded this font from Dafomt.com this font is called Blood Lust. I have chosen this font because I think it goes with the thriller genre.

I will be using this font for this title and the one above it, it is also from Dafont.com and it is called Lemon Milk. I chose this font because it is quiet simple and I wanted these two titles to look a bit simple as well.

I am going to use this font for all the other titles, I have downloaded it from Dafont.com it is called True Lies.I thought this font would look great with the other titles because it suits the thriller genre well.

I am hoping that my titles will last between 40 to 60 seconds. I am planning on playing these title during the opening scene a part from the last title "Afraid" which will have a black background and it will be in red. All the other titles will be in white, the first two titles "C.E.E productions" and "Patra Films" will fade in and out and the rest will just appear on the screen.

Location Reece shots

The driveway where the father comes out of the house, I have decided to use this location because it is outside and it is where the MM would be seen as well.

The pavement (near the bin) is where the MM will be standing, I have used this location because it is across the road from the driveway.

Bed that victim will be laying on, I have used this location because it is the biggest room that I can find to film and the victim is supposed to be sleeping.

Storyboard

Actors, Props and Costumes

Mysterious murdered/MM

Actor:  Marie is playing the role of the MM, the reason that I have chosen to do this is because there will only be a 5 or 10 second close up of the MM's legs and she is available to do the short scene.
Costume: Will be dressed in black, black trousers and black shoes, because I think that black would suit well for a murderer because it could add suspense.
Props: The MM will not need to have any props for the opening scene.

Victim

Actor: I will be playing the victim as well because she has a short scene and I have written in my narrative that the victim is a teenage girl so I thought that I might as well play the part of the victim.
Costume: The victim will be dressed in a Pyjama because she is meant to be sleeping in the opening scene. At the end of the scene the shirt of the pyjama will be covered in fake blood to show that she has been murdered.
Props: Probably her mobile phone because as she is trying to wake up she checks the time.

Victim's father

Actor: Adel is going to be playing the role of the father's victim, because the father has to be a slightly older person so I thought that Adel will probably be the best actor for that role.
Costume: Smart clothing such as a smart shirt, smart trousers and smart shoes because the father is getting ready for work in this opening scene.
Props: His car, to show that he has car for transport to work. A briefcase will be used to symbolize that he is going to work.

The Narrative

My opening scene is inspired by the opening scene for the film "Where Birds Don't Fly" it is inspired by having an unknown murderer who is killing young children, teenagers and families and the shocking way that this murderer leaves his/her victims dead for the police to find.

The father shouts from the bottom of the stairs " I'm going, have a great day" as he leaves the house he notices this strange looking person from across the road but the father doesn't have time to stare at the suspicious person across the road, so he continues to make his way to his car. There will be a close up of the MM's legs and there will be a flickering effect between the MM's legs and the victim laying dead in the bath tub. Then the titles will come in. 

Brainstorm

As a final decision I have chosen the title "Afraid" as the title for my opening scene.
