3. Stage One: Pre Production/Task Six: Art Department.

Props Required:
  • Tomato Sauce - I will provide this prop.
  • A Kitchen Knife - I will provide this prop.
  • A Water Bottle - I will provide this prop.
  • A Water Dispenser - I will provide this prop.
Costumes Required:

I told Ashleigh Hamilton (The Woman) and Kristyan Evans (The Murderer) that they could wear whatever they desired, as my film is set in the present day and I wanted my characters to wear casual clothing. Also, Ashleigh Hamilton is out on a relaxed outing, so I wanted her clothing to reflect this idea. I told William Thomsom (The Man) to wear an item of clothing that was old, so I could create the effect that I desired - the ripped shirt and the 'blood' pouring from the wound.

3. Stage One: Pre Production/Task Four: Crew & Talent.

The Cast:
Ashleigh Hamilton - The Woman.
Kristyan Evans - The Murderer.
William Thomsom - The Man.

3. Stage One: Pre Production/Peer Review

My friend Siani Wyatt read through my concept and treatment, and then gave me positive feedback, constructive criticism and asked me questions about ideas that she was uncertain about.

Positive Feedback:
Siani liked the idea of a romantic/horror as my genre breaks the typical stereotype/gnere. She said my storyline seemed like a good one - not too difficult to film and it "ropes in the viewers". She could also picture my opening already, "it sounds great".
Constructive Criticism:
Siani had no constructive criticism for my film opening.

Questions:
- How are you going to show the man dying?
- Are you still going to have the "passionate kiss"?
