pre-production work !!!

As a group we have all taken are roles that where given to us. i took the roles of writing the custome for each character adn there make-up needed, this was done by me researching outfits and make-up ideas on the internet. The biggest part i played was writing the script this had taken me up to 2 hours as it was hard to have each character with different personalities and take on there roles in different ways. I also had taken part in the story board howver me and a member in my group have done half each as it had taken me quites a while to get through the first section.

My input to My pre-production!!

Here are the task that i have currently taken part in our per-production group: -

• My first task i carried out was the costumes, props and make-up this was set for each individual character as they have different personalities and emotions to carry out in the film.
• My second task was the story board this was showing each take we are hoping to do during the filming process.
• the script was my main priotity throughout my work as i wanted to make each characters personality fit with there speech adn i had to think about the emotions that each characters where taking one whilst the scene they where in.

The film is set in California and has them driving through a dark isolated road at the beginning this make you film nervous as you know something is going to happen as they are alone on the road. About 4 minutes into the film they turn up at an isolated gas station and motel this instantly makes you wonder what is going on. In the first 5 minutes of the film you are introduced to 3 characters a husband and wife who`s relationship looks very tense and unhappy this is due to the loss of there little boy "Charlie", the other character is a mechanic all in black he looks fairly specious as he is wearing all black and just suddenly appears from no where, but he acts the good guy and help the strained couple out , but to me there is something about him they the viewers should look out for. The narrative of the film really helps set the mood for the film, as at the opening titles all the titles are in red and some of the letters drip with blood this sets you up to know that to expect something bad to happen to a character. Also throughout the scene with the couple in the car there is a repeat of the husband rubbing his eyes over and over again is this due to him taking some pills or does this show us he is tired of his relationship with his wife.
