Health and Safety

After visiting our first location, we have realised that we need to take into consideration the safety aspects when we are filming. 

We have decided that we need to take certain precautions whilst filming to ensure the safety of the group and the actors. 

We are going to take a full first aid kit with us which will include; 

• ibuprofen
• tweezers
• alcohol wipes
• antiseptic hand cleanser
• medical adhesive tape
• sterile gauze 
• elastic bandages
• several sizes of adhesive bandages
• bandage scissors
• triangular bandages
• instant cold packs

We will also need to make sure that we are all wrapped up warm as the set is outdoors and the weather is very cold. We will take spare blankets and warm drinks to keep the actors and the filming group warm through out the day. 

Another thing we have now added to our filming sheet is the nearest hospital and the number to call incase there is an emergency. Also we have decided while walking round the building we shall wear hardhats incase of any falling degree that we could come across. 

We will also make sure we have two fully charged and working phones incase we need to call in emergancy for any reason. 

These are all safety precautions and shouldn't have to be used but they are there incase. 

Film Schedule

To obtain the best continuity possible, we decided we wanted to film all the footage we needed in one day of filming if possible. We are going to film on Sunday 3rd February and below is our schedule containing all of the timings and equipment we need.

Photos of Make up and Costume

Hair, Make-up and Costume Video

Here is a video showing how the make up and hair will be done. I took a few pictures of Lily in the costume with the hair and makeup done which will be shown at the end of the video.

Fake Blood

We were keen to use fake blood in our film opening, we thought we could use it to creep and scare our audience, we thought we could also use it as a colour element as we wanted to experiment with having the blood as the only colourful item.

So we made different batches of fake blood and tested them. We thought the less we made the more blood like it looked, as it was darker and thicker, however didn't spread on paper well so we experimented with different thickness and came to the conclusion to use a thinker substance made it look more blood like.

Props

I wanted to show the props we thought to include in out film opening, we wanted them with the intent to scare the audience but also give the impression of victorian toys.
