This is the last of our ideas for our film so far. We were thinking of using this park because of the fact that a park is usually a happy and generally friendly place to be. We were thinking that we could Juxtapose this by creating a scary and frightening part of the film at the park.

This is another setting that we were thinking of using for our Horror Film. We thought that this setting would be good, as there are a lot of trees for people to hide in. There is also the fact that at this time of year, the trees seem to look dead, and in the dark they would look quite eerie.

Here is one of the settings where we are thinking of filming our Horror film. We thought that this may be a good idea as because the field is so big, it would give the audience a sense of isolation, as they are in a large field with nothing around them.

How to make a good film

These are some tips that I have written down on how to make a good film.

-Take the camera to the action

-Don't stand up when using the camera all of the time. If somebody is low down, get down on the floor to capture the action even better.

-Get the story straight first, and then think about how to improve it using camera angles.

-Make every detail easy to understand and recognisable

-Get right in the characters faces when you are trying to show emotion. This guarantees that the audience will know the emotion that the character is going through.

In the Preliminary task we need to have a person walking into a room, sitting down on a table with another person, and then exchanging a few lines of dialogue. In our Preliminary exercise we need to include:-

-The 180 Degree Rule
-A Match On Action
-A Shot Reverse Shot.
