DW - Black Nightmare: Shoot Planning

We have started the planning off by organising and buying various different props such as a mask and some fake severed fingers online and so with these being delivered at certain dates we've had to plan our shoots around these dates so we've decided to shoot on Monday the 18th. Also we've been researching online hot to make fake blood so we'll be making this on the day of the shoot as well.


Also what we have got is a meat cleaver which we are using to indicate the butchers identity and a butchers piny or apron. Another form of costume and make up we are using is the black hooded jumper or coat which hides the identity of the killer to create some narrative enigma.

Planning to do with the mise-en-scene is the garage and transforming it into a secret massacre den of which the killer lives and we are going to cover the walls with black tarpaulin drapes so that it looks like a scary and dark and delusional so it creates an atmosphere towards the audience. Also we are putting a cork board of pictures of houses on the tarpaulin to show where the killer has been and already killed, this is a signifier of where he will strike next.

We are planning on shooting the film at a few different places, these being Ben's House, Dom's House and Dom's Road. we feel these locations will benefit our film opening due to the way we will shoot the opening with the various shot types and angles also the point of view shots will prove key for this.
