in Werrington, we thought this would be the perfect location to film our opening sequence. This is becuase her room and the parts of the house we wanted to use are not overly decorated, so basically her walls weren't pink green and orange, they were all a good plain colour. Through the hallways and stair ways there was minor decoration like a mirror and a couple of hanging paintings, these were easy to remove so we could give off the abandoned house feel. Gemma's room was good to becuase if was a good plain colour and had wooden floors and a good layout by the way the bed was to the door and the windows. Everything was easy to move out of her room and furniture we couldnt move like the wardrobe and sets of draws we covered with my old sheets that are used to cover furniture when redocerated, this also adds to the abondaded house feel. The outside of the house was perfect aswell because it wasnt over fancy it just looked like a normal house, and just by chance had a creepy looking house number '337'.Props: We used quite a lot of props in this piece. Inside the house we had the old painting sheets to cover the funrniture, some alreadt came with (paint) splatters on which fitted in perfectly becuase they were brown we could hint the fact it was dried blood from previous victoms. We also had, which we show a shot of, power tools and knife and anything that looks like a physco would use to dismember a body, to give them the covered in blood, old and disgusting look, me and Gemma took outside covered them in mud (which was fun!!) then covered some in fake blood and food colouring.
Lighting: For lighting, we decided not to use any lighting boards or any extra lamps in our opening clip because we thought the natural light would look more authentic. Plus we want our clip to look as natural as possible but also slightly dark, but lucky for us Gemma has big dark curtains in her room so they worked perfectly blocking out enough light, and then when Amy opens the curtains, it looks like normal day time, that helps makes it seam freaky becuase of the state she is in.
Dialogue: For our opening clip we didnt really write a script for Amy to follow, so we just kind of gave her a quideline of what we would like to say and let her role with it. We did tell her that we would like her to swear in the clip becuase that would make it more dramatic becuase Amy shouting 'You Fucker' sounds a lot better than 'You Idiot' or something like that. There isnt a lot of key dialouge in our clip, just her talking to her self like when she says 'Come on then, COME ON THEN' we thought that was good becuase she kind of says it as a mumble to herself then screams it aloud and while saying that she is looking at the knife, this shows how mental this hole situtation has driven her. Amy also added in some dialouge her self, like the part at the end when she is at the bottom of the stairs and we thought it was soo good that we decided to go with it.
Costume:
This is the costume that Amy had to wear to make everything looks convincing. Yes you looks slighty gross and quite scary, but the hole costume looks quite realistic. First of all we started ripping apart her dress, we told her to wear a white dress becuase it adds a sense of vunrability and innocence. We made several tears and slits, broke the zip, and rip part of it off at the bottom as you can see! So make the blood looks slightly dry as if she has been there for a while we put a base of mud underneath the blood to give it that brown dry affect. We smeared it across her chest, back, arms and legs. We also splattered it across her dress and especially around the area's where the dress was cut to
make it look like he cut her while she 
wearing the dress. We will also applied the fake blood around her nose and mouth, this is to influence the fact that she has been badly beaten by this physco. To make her look more beaten we put dark make up around her eyes to look like black eyes and that she has been there for quite a while. A great idea Daisy came up with was to make her hair look greasey so we rubbed baby oil on our hands and run our hands through her hair. So over all we thought Amy looked quite convincing as a victim of a violent attack. We were quite pleased how she pulled it off, and her costume played a big part in setting the scene.
Actress: 
This is our beautiful beautiful actress, Amy Thorburn, she was also used in our preliminery video, and we thought she was sooo amazing in our first one, that we would use her in our opening clip. And we were right to choose her becuase she was fantastic, and she got totally into character and made it so believeable. She was spine tingling awsome.
