The cast and crew arrived at the filming location at 12pm after originally planning to arrive at 11am. They spent an hour doing makeup tutorials and changing their ideas before taking a food break. Filming began around 1:30pm with close-up shots and filming around the location, which took about two hours. Additional outdoor filming took 30 minutes but was cold. Special effects makeup was applied to an actor's arm, taking 10 minutes to create a cracked effect and add fake blood, which was filmed in a cabin over 10 minutes to avoid staining. Filming finished after a long day around 6pm.
1. Shooting Day 1
The cast and crew made their way to the set at 12pm.
Originally we said 11am, but some crew were running
late. As soon as they got to the location, we began the
make up tutorial. That took us about an hour to
complete and film as we kept adding more make up
and we were changing our ideas as we went. We then
had a food break to recharge our batteries. Hash
browns, fish fingers and pasta seemed like a good mix!
We then updated our twitter account with behind
the scenes pictures and videos. Eventually we
started filming at around 1.30pm. We began
filming close up shots of Jasmine’s eyes. We then
made our way around the location and filmed all
our footage. Filming was quick but effective. We got
all our filming done in about 2 hours which we
were pleased with. The only problem we
encountered whilst filming was that we kept
getting distracted. Although we were trying to stay
focused, we did keep laughing and joking around
all day, which cost us time.
2. Shooting Day 1
After we had filmed all we needed to in the house, we
started filming in the garden and the cabin. It was
freezing! I had to wear a big fluffy coat. We had to be
careful when filming as there was hazards on the path
and in the grass like sharp stones.
It took about 30 minutes to
film all the shots outside. We
then started to create the
special effects make up on
Tom. I started by adding liquid
latex to Tom’s lower arm and
dabbed it to give a cracked
impression. It took around 10
minutes to dry fully.
I added dark eyeshadow colours (red, purple, browns
etc.) to create a bruised effect around the fake cut. I
then put fake blood on the area. We filmed in the
cabin which took about 10 minutes. The fake blood
stains so we had to be so careful not to drip it on the
white floor of the cabin. Eventually we had finished
filming after a very long day. I think the actors and
crew left at about 6pm. All we need to do now is edit!
