music (potential choices)

Because I have edited before using music to enhance the experience of the film. I used a website called incompetech.com. This site gives royalty free music as long as you credit the man who created the site and all the music provided. His name is Kevin Mcleud.

He provides every type of music you could possibly want to use that is free. You can also buy his music that he has created but for copyright purposes we are using the link called "royalty free music". The site gives you quick and easy access to the type of music that is essential to you. There is a check list at the site of the screen which provides the user with all kinds of options. Ticking the check list and pressing search will allow you to find music that has those categories in it's description, the song may have other categories tagged to it but the more specific you make it the less variables you will get.

Because we are creating a horror thriller I used categories such as dark, unnerving and mysterious to give the audience a sense of feeling. You can use combinations such as bouncy, bright and epic to give you a much happier feeling. It all depends on what music is right for your film.

We have many candidates for our film such as penumbra, hush and evening of chaos. They all create the creepy feeling that we are striving for. There are also sound stings that are available to use but they aren't what we are looking for for our film and so they won't be used in our production.

Risk assessment

Risk	Why it was a risk	Level of risk	Precautions we took	Were there any injuries
The Tripod	One of the main one when filming in our internal location was the tripod we used. When it was used in a high angle shot it could have been dropped and possibly injured one of our group. It was also a fire hazard as it was an obstruction.	High	To make sure this did not happen we never held the tripod directly above one of our group members and when possible we had the tripod on the ground. We also never left the tripod in Any path to the exits.	No
The drawing pins	Drawing pins were used to set our scene. This could have been a hazard due to the pins being very sharp and when handled they could have pricked our fingers.	Low	To minimise the risk of this happening, we only ever picked them up by the head which was covered in plastic. We also took them one by one so that we didn’t ever have a clump in our hand which could cause injury.	No
Floor debris	There were a few pieces of debris on the floor of the room we filmed in for the antagonist scenes. Because much of our filming was in the dark the risk was a lot higher for my group and I.	Moderate	We minimised the risk of injury through never having the room in complete darkness. We also didn’t move when filming was in progress which was when the room was at its darkest.	No
Travel by train	We travelled by train which could have been very dangerous if we were not careful as we could have been hit	High	We made sure to listen to the instructor so that we were safe from harm. We also stayed behind the yellow line until the train came.	No
Filming actions (stunts)	One of most dangerous parts when we were filming was when Ruairi collapses in the lift. This is because of the danger of him hitting his head on part of the lift. He could have also slipped which would have also possibly caused an injury of some sort.	Moderate	To make sure that Ruairi wasn't in harm’s way we had him practise how he was going to fall and where the safest place for him to fall was going to be. We always kept a medical kit on standby also, minimising the risk of any serious injury.	No

Changes to our idea

Our idea original was going to be the hacker following the protagonist through his computer screen with minimal cuts in the editing. We have now decided that we will still keep the opening where we film Charlie in his room getting up; The hacker is watching him through a camera that is not visible to Charlie. What has changed however is that the main character (Charlie) is not the person who dies. Ruairi ,our other character, dies. It creates a nice twist for the viewers because Ruairi is not featured in the film right up until he is killed. As I have watched many other peoples productions I have seen that they have not used this idea. It makes the inclusion of the twist stand out more and is original.
Our main idea hasn't changed though and our locations have been finalled. We have decided to film our external scenes (scenes outside of school) at one of our houses and our other external location is going to be Lakeside. We were originally going to use a forest to film our external scenes but we thought because we are filming a sort of futuristic film then we should have a modern setting.
