Health and safety

Health and safety

Health and safety clearly is a big part of filming as no one wants to injure them-selves due to lack of planing. We looked at the possible problems before going to the set to film, ending up with a small list but still these would need to be taken into account to ensure everyone’s good health.

Our list contained things like falling while heading through the heavily wooded terrain, getting any fake blood in open wounds or eyes, taking care with set pieces and tent equipment such as hammers stoves etc.

All of these are quite low risk luckily so we went forward to film without any real need to change our plans however everyone was more aware of the possible risks hopefully leading to a greater professionalism during filming.

Our group, Flatline finally choose Virginia waters as it would be near empty in the morning with minimal risks and boosting an awesome woodland set. The set allowing the campsite set up to be completely believable and authentic. The vast area the land covers allows us to avoid the public however due to being nears busy roads the noise of cars is almost inescapable, we will use editing to take this out.

This is our second development piece in which we focused on the colouring of our film. in the end we choose black and white with a red filter.

Story board

Above you can see our storyboards this was a great tool to use because you get the idea of what shots and cuts to use. Organisation was also helped by the story boards so we had a good idea what we wanted in our shots providing a perfect spring board and plan to actually get filming. The storyboard has notes on sound our folley artist will add later and the type of editing and cuts required on each shot allowing us to confidently start. However these are not concrete ideas just guide lines to work with so if the location boosts extra brilliant looking shots we can simply follow our hearts with filming. Better to film to much than just enough.

This is our small development and research film to show the creation of fake blood and other effects our film uses.
