semiotic Elements

Semiotic Elements:

We need to consider many things before we can film. These are elements such as props, makeup, costume,set and equipment.

To produce the film we will need a
- camcorder
- tripod

Below is a list of props that we need to produce the film. We looked at the storyboard and the plot synopsis and decided form this what we would need to help us create the opening scene that we wanted. All of the props and equiptment have come under our budget, the things we havent paid for are borrowed from either the school or each others houses. However the fake blood was bought for £5.95 from a shop in Peterborough City Centre called Harlequin

-Fake Blood
-Kitchen Knife
-Oil/Petrol Can
-Water
-Rope
-A Chair

However we had to go out and buy fake the blood from a shop called; 'Harlequins' so that our opening scene would be more visually believable.

Some of the scenes that our main actress will be shooting involves getting incredibly dirty. This is because a lot of dirt, water, fake blood and even the possibility of tearing some of her clothes will be used in our shots to create a more visually effective opening scene. We understood that it was too much to ask our actress to supply these clothes that we are intentionally going to ruin and therefore we measured Vicky, taking down all her sizes, went to a cheap clothes shop called; 'George' and bought some plain tops and a pair of trousers for Vicky to wear during filming.

The Make Up will be applied by a professional/qualified media make up artist, who happened to be a member of our group, Hayden Simmons' mother. His mother happily volunteered to do all the media makeup, consisting of; scars, cuts, burns, bruises and wounds. We felt this was a huge advantage for our group because we don't have the funds or technology available in order to produce the special effects that we needed in order to compare with existing media products out there with the same genre. Therefore this will visually improve our shots, creating a more realistic, believable opening scene for an audience that we will be able to relate to existing media products out there.
