Shooting Schedule

The shooting schedule is one of the most important documents you need on the day of your shoot because it keeps everyone organized and you know how long you have to be to take a certain number of shots. The shooting schedule always tells you when you need the cast and how many people of the cast you need.
Our shooting schedule for Mute was very simple,
In the morning:
1) We had to get all the cast members in hair, makeup and costume.
2) We needed to organize the set
3) We filmed the main shots with all the "dead" bodies, close ups of the dead bodies
4) We then filmed the start of the main protagonist in the first room

In the Afternoon:
1) We finished filming the main protagonist in room 1
2) We then filmed establishing shots, pan and over the head
3) We then filmed close ups of the light bulb
4) Then we recorded sound effects like glass breaking and the table being pushed over

Account Of Props and Costume

It was my job to create this props list and to give each one of the group memebers a prop. For payment, over the holidays the group memebers will buy there props bring back the bill and we will devide the total of the bills by 4 (which is the number of group memebers)

Cast and Cast Contract

This is our Cast list, as our Main Protagonist:
-Rory Skeoch
We have used rory because he was easy to ruff up and to make it look like he had been abducted. He is also relatively attractive wich would attract a larger audience making our thriller more main stream by attracting a secondary audience which would be females.

Victims:
-Elly Sams
-Gabby Meech
-Lottie Tolhurst
-Lukas Dressler
-Oscar Mitchell-Heggs
-Cate Hoare
-Bea Campbell
-Gemma Dyer
-Lainy Black
-Jamie Hajigeorgiou

All our cast memeber needed to sign a contract:

I ……………………………,

Accept to take part in the Thriller Mute which will be filmed on the 20th of January 2010 between the times of 8:30am and 6:00pm. Exact times to be agreed nearer to shoot date. Directed by Tom Warhurst, Editors JJ Benzimra, Alex Roberts and Produced by Tamara Middleton. I accept my role as a dead body in a scene. I agree to have fake blood in and around my mouth (cherry flavoured if the blood is inside the mouth) and to have my lips taped together.

Location Requirements and How they were found



For our thrilller we are going to film it in the studio because it would be simpler to manipulate the lighting, build the set and get all the props.


What institutions would produce my film?

I believe our thriller would be produced by a film company such a Lionsgate which is the studio with a key presence in the production of films and television programs. Lionsgate made the saw franchise this showed me that the firm had links to the horror industry and was experienced in producing them. I believe that lionsgate would produce my film because it is very much like saw for example in the first saw the two main characters wake up in an abandoned and grotty bathroom and in my thriller we had the idea of our main protagonist waking up in an abandoned bedroom.

Our Production Logo- Redrum Productions

We have called ourselves Redrum productions because Redrum spells murdeR back wards. We thought this would be a good idea due to the fact that the genre we are doing is Thriller.
