The Asylum Re-Shoot

Re-Shoot 

After shooting our first rough cut, we decided we needed more footage to make our final piece great. so in school we arranged to meet at my house for the shoot, with the following characters:

Heather: scream queen
Jake: The Dr
Curtis: The killer
George:Camera Man/Director

This was a key re-shoot as all of our characters were needed and we were all available we had planned previously on what we were planning on doing and including this time round. Therefore, we would not have to come back and re-shoot for a second time

Psycho shower scene

We did our shoot after school, we planned to shoot at our second location as it was the only day when we could arrange Heather to act for us. We prepared the scenes we had to do during the week. We had 2 Killing scenes, one of the final girl and one of the Dr.

 We organised the first murder scene in the bathroom, using a kitchen knife and ketchup as blood. We used strategies that many films use, probably the most famous, the Psycho shower scene, where they used fast pace editing. Used to make it look much more realistic when special effects aren't available. 

Like the attic stairs we used

The second murder Took place in my bedroom which is up some stairs in the attic. we thought it would be very effective to us this as the stairs are very effective. We did one continuous take with a false scare and a real scare.
