cast

 For our cast, we have two girls ("victims"/hunted) and two men (hunters).

The two girls will be played by Daisy and Zaza.

And the men will be played by Stu and Mike.

Stu and Mike are both media teachers at our school, therefore it will be relatively easy for them to get time out of lessons.

Zaza is a student at our school and therefore can provisionally book time off school. Although Daisy is from outside of school, therefore we have to make sure she's aware of all the details of the shoot before the day, including timings, props, and the costume she needs to bring. Despite this, we do have to tell all of our cast this information.

Prior to this moment (Monday 28th February), we had Meadow and Zaza playing the two girls, whereby Zaza was going to be the protagonist who proceeds to kill the hunter and Meadow would play the girl who gets killed at the beginning of the sequence. Although due to a change in Daisy's (our first choice for the protagonist) schedule we have cast her as the girl who kills the hunter, and we've decided to replace Meadows's role with Zaza.

Contacting our cast

It is currently Sunday and our shoot is on Thursday, therefore we thought it would be necessary to email our cast with the necessary details they need for the shoot. 

 

roles on set

I've taken on the role of creative director, whereby I'm in charge of everything creative! including set design and hair, costume, makeup, etc.

I decided to practice using makeup to make a bruise effect as well as mu stain effect on one of my peers.

For the girls, these mud stains as well as some bruises will be necessary to contribute to the tired narrative of the storyline of our opening scene. I will also use a grey tone to create eyebags under their eyes to highlight this.

Additionally, I want the girls to look as though they haven't washed in several days/weeks, and as though they have been living in the woods. Therefore, I may choose to add oils to their hair and possibly backcomb it.

For the hunters, I want them to look smart and sophisticated, no makeup should be necessary. Although blood is extremely important for 'Hunter 1' at the end of the sequence.

Call sheet

We were given the day of our shoot, which is Thursday 3rd March, which is a week away. Therefore we need all of our props and costumes sorted by then. 

We decided to make a call sheet, which includes all of the information necessary to contact our cast and crew if anything were to happen.

roles on set

 There are 3 main roles on set, 

⁃ The director 

⁃ The camera operator

⁃ The art director 

Despite this, it’s argued that despite being offset, the editor's role is the most important. Therefore, my group and I designated roles to each other, whereby:

Bea is the director, as during our trial shoot she took this role and we all agreed she really exceeded at it due to her decisive personality.

Will is going to be the editor, as during the trial shoot I took on this role, although Will clearly has a passion for editing and will do a great job at it.

Cole is the camera operator, as he had previously had covid during our test shoot, therefore this time he wants to be more hands-on with the action!

And finally, I have taken the role of the creative director, whereby I will be in charge of the set design as well as props, costume, and makeup.

Despite our set roles, we have decided as a group we would all like to contribute to every aspect of the film-making.
