Filming style

The filming style of for our film will be typical of horror and most Hollywood films. This is simply done with a mixture of angles and movements.

We also decided that during the editing process we were going to darken the shots by adding filter effects from 'Final Cut Studio'.

Music

Choosing music for our film was very difficult, we needed music that fitted with the genre of horror plus was copyright free.

Tom took the lead on finding the music because he knew of some websites that are copyright free.
In the end, we used one song from "machinimasound.com" and another from "incompetech.com". The two songs worked well with each other once we had finished editing them.

Props

Group roles

I was in charge of the camera and that meant that I did most of the filming. It was up to me to make sure that camera was positioned correctly around the shot.

Gareth was chosen to be director. This meant that he was in charge on the days of filming. He was confident that he would be best for this position.

Tom was put as producer, he made sure everything was ready for filming day.
