Mood Board of the Horror genre.

This is a mood board containing images that we have used as inspiration for our opening. 

Shots in filming.

Match on action- 

Match on action (or cutting on action) is an editing technique for continuity editing in which one shot cuts to another shot portraying the action of the subject in the first shot.

180 degrees rule- 
The 180° rule is a filming guideline that participants in a scene should have the same left-right relationship to each other, with filming only taking place within the 180° angle in which this is maintained in a conversation, for example. This allows the audience to have a greater sense of location in the scene in terms of what may be off-screen in some shots, for example in shot reverse shots.

Shot reverse shot-
 Shot reverse shot is a continuity editing technique used in conversations or simply characters looking at each other or objects. A shot showing what the character is supposedly looking at (either a point of view or over the shoulder shot) is followed by a reverse angle shot of the character themselves looking at it, or of the other character looking back at them, for example. Shot reverse shot often ties in with the 180° rule to retain continuity by not distorting the audience’s sense of location of the characters in the shots.

30 degree rule-
The 30 degree rule is a basic film editing guideline that states the camera should move at least 30 degrees between shots of the same subject occurring in the succession. If this rule isn't followed a jump cut occurs and there is a risk that the audience starts focusing on the filming technique instead of the story that is being narrated.

Rule of thirds-
The rule of thirds is a concept in video and film production in which the frame is divided into into nine imaginary sections, as illustrated on the right. This creates reference points which act as guides for framing the image.Points (or lines) of interest should occur at 1/3 or 2/3 of the way up (or across) the frame, rather than in the centre. Like many rules of framing, this is not always necessary (or desirable) but it is one of those rules you should understand well before you break it.

Street View of the Abandoned House

This is the Google street view of the house we found on Wednesday before it began to be demolished. The old hotel sits at the end of Maddox Lane in Great Bookham. These street view photos were taken in 2009, five years ago. It was originally a large hotel that looked beautiful.

Filming Attempt 1

On the third of December the three of us, accompanied by three other actors, traveled to our decided filming location. Having found out the day before that we would not be allowed to film at our original choice of location due to security changes, we had to walk two and a half miles to an abandoned house in Bookham, Surrey.

  There are a lot of risks associated with having to find a last minute location. And as far as risks go, turning up and finding the house being renovated is not one we had considered.

  Not letting this step-back stop us, we decided that in an area so densely filled with old buildings, there must be one that we can find permission to film in.

  Sadly, our search was in vein. After walking around for about four hours, we decided to throw in the towel. Our time would be better spent researching a new location and filming a different day.
