pre production

This was our armature film, My task in the group was lighting and location manager. I was responsible for finding a secure location for the film to take place which was a good location for the equipment, the actors and a safe environment also something suitable for what the director wanted. For this I decided that the villain can walk down a long creepy alley way with the bag which was perfect for a phsyco who had two personality's. For the affair to be happening House was the most suitable place so we decided to make this happen in Karina's house.


Karina was responsible for props and make up. She done the victims make up and used fake blood. Her responsibility was to make sure we had all the props we needed and the actors make ups were perfect. As she brought in fake blood, ring, costume and done our actres's make up and hair.
Lyden was responsible for camera and sounds. Hes responsibility was that the equipment was safe and that chose the shots that were perfect for the film and suitable ones. He chose the camera angles, movements and shots. He was also responsible for the sound that was played for the film and were the tension was built how the rhythm, the beat and were silence and were the breathing sound should be put in.

Michael was responsible for the directing and how the actors where acting, what kind of location he wanted, what kind of sound , which props were needed and he had the last say even thoe everyone was responsible of their own roles.

For our thriller film I got inspired by a true story of a boy who murders his girl friend and stuffs her in a bag then throws her away. Our whole idea of the play was from this incident, but we decided to change the story line. The man had a wife and kids, he also had another personality, he was mentally disturbed and his behaviours change. We decide to make this man a murderer and kill the girl then get rid of her body. Through out the story we can see the man having his flashbacks. This was a reason why we named our film 2Faced it was most suitable because the killer was mentally disturbed in out story line and the name of the film helped us follow the generic conventions, it added suspense of why and who is two faced.

  1. Cansu I would suggest you remove the clip of your final production from this post. As lighting and location manager you need to show your initial ideas for suitable locations and lighting you intended to use in your production. You should also discuss any research you conducted into your role.
