Music

For the section taking part during our title sequence, i.e the actors names and film title we will be using a sound called, ghost 1.wav. The clip starts off slowly at the beginning so we would need to cut that out, this will be ok due to the clip of film we need it for is only around 30 seconds and the music is 51 seconds. For when our character is running, or for our shots in the woods we plan to use a sound called, distriff_2.wav as it is disturbing and interrupts the peacefulness. As its only 14 seconds long we will need to repeat it. For shot 1 we will have a sound called cellos down down.wav which is a slow eery sound that will gradually build up the tension. As the clip is 21 seconds we will have to extend the panning shots to make them in time with the music. This will help us to lengthen our piece out as it is slighlty short of 2 minutes.
For our party scene we will be using diegetic sound, as it will be difficult be match music to the shot as we need people to dance in unison with the music and doing this would be hard to do.

Our party scene will include a sound called Chaser RMX 2.wav as it is only 7 seconds long it may have to be repeated.

Risk Assesment.

As part of our planning for our final film piece we have taken into account some likely risks.
While filming in my bathroom we need to take into account dropping the camera in the sink, slipping over in the shower when filming. These risks can be reduced by cleaning the shower before filming in there, and not wearing socks in there. And keeping the camera on a tripod so we are unable to drop it. My bathroom is rather small, so if a lot of people are moving around tripping over peoples feet or the legs of the tripod could occur, this could be prevented by only having the people we need in the bathroom.

While filming outside in the dark, we may experience a lot more accidents, this could be wiped out due to having torches, and making sure we are aware of surroundings and be careful when we are moving around. As we plan to film near busy roads, we need to watch where we are going so we don't end up going off the path by accident. Whilst filming the knife shot, be extra careful when handling the knife and make sure no one steps on it when it's on the floor. Filming on a bike could cause a lot more accidents, so we must make sure we are familiar with the surroundings we will be riding in, be careful whilst riding the back and make sure we don't drop the camera.

While filming the swings in the park, make sure people don't walk directly in front of the swings so decreases the risk of getting hit. While Filming in the dark we may run into other members of the public, this could be wiped out by using torches while filming and being careful and stay aware of surroundings. Also hitting people, the camera, or the window whilst throwing objects out of the wardrobe is a big problem, we need to make sure we aim where we will throw the objects and practice it before using the camera. Also being chased by Dogs in Balskell Park could be a big problem, we need to make sure there aren't any dogs close by before we film.


Now we have identified the risks we can illuminate injuries to cast members or any memebers of the public.
