Film Schedual
This is the film schedule we created, and will had to all involved before filming to let them know the timings we are following during the day of filming.
Hair, Make-up and Costume
From the voxpop that we made we dicoverd that people think that the most important convention of a period drama is the costumes that the actors wear because the audience need to believe that they are actually from that time. We also thought that we would need to research the hair and make-up of that period because they would set the scene and contribute to the victorian era.
Research of victoran hair syles:
We decided to have the girls hair tied up because we had to take into consideration that the girls actors hair is quite short.
These are some of the images that inspired us and we will try to base our actresses hair on,
Research of victorian costumes:
We decided to have the woman in a nice victorian dress and the man in a smart suit because they are both upper class.
Here are some of the images that we will try to base our actors costumes on,

Research of victoran make up:
We decided to have simple make-up, so the girl would not have dark eye make-up but a little bit to emphesise her features.

Music
In our lessons we have been researching the music that we want to include in our film opening. We have been looking for non-diagetic sound to place over the top of the original filming to create tension and make the atmosphere more dramatic. We searched on the website 'freeplaymusic.com' to find the right music that would fit in with our genre. We started searching for horror music and found a track called 'Abandoned Infirmary' we thought that this one suited the genre well because it had an eerie feel to it.
After this we searched for eerie and scary music to see if we could find better pieces of music. It was quite difficult to find the right sound because some of the music was either too dark or not scary enough and it was hard to find music that fitted in with the victorian theme.

Voxpop
We decided in our group that we wanted to create a horror/thriller. We put together a voxpop, asking questions based around the genre of horror and thriller. This voxpop has helped us with the creation of our film opening, and we have taken the answers given to us into account whilst planning the plot.

Group Idea For Film Opening
For our groups ideas we decided to make our film opening set in the victorian times so we can explore the costumes and make-up.
The setting is going to be in a Victorian era at the start on a house where a party is happening and then in the streets. The plot is about a man who as an infatuation with a woman and we capture him stalking her in the streets. We decided to make the timing at dusk because it would create moire tension and give the piece and eerie effect. The characters that we are going to use are the woman and the man. We decided to have minimal dialogue to help create tension and not cut up the eerie atmosphere that will be created by the music and the setting.
