I'm working in a group of 3 with Ben Brearley and Dom Ellis on a slasher film opening with the working title of Black Nightmare, and on this blog you'll see all the research and planning behind our production.

Set Dressing

Killer's Cellar:
After
Before
We chose to use Ben's cellar for the killer's room as it was easy to adjust it so it looked like the killer's room, for example before we touched it there wasn't much there so we just had to add to the cellar to make it look more realistic for the killer's room, and to do this we used a big black sheer that was large enough to cover the whole wall and it just needed nailing to the wall. Even though we didn't fill the whole of the cellar like this we didn't have to because we only focused the camera on this one wall.Also we had to take the car out so that we were able to film in here.

Then for the pictures on the wall we just printed out lots of pictures from Google images of houses that looked similar to the house we used in our film, this way it looked like the killer had previous victims round the same neighbourhood. Also we took pictures of our scream queen and our final girl and used these as well on the wall to try signify that the killer has stalked his victims.




Scream Queen's House:

With the house we used it didn't need much adjusting because we only showed 1 room in the house and it was a bedroom but it was only a short scene, however we did need to make it look like the scream queen's bedroom so it's realistic but we didn't have to change it round that much as it was already believable.
Then the only other thing was to remove a car from the drive so that the scream queen could drive on to the drive.
