Blurb

Hello, this blog covers all the research and planning into our slasher film opening, Camp Ivy. Co-produced with Kate and Millie, and influenced from films such as Friday the 13th and set in a rural location inspired by Eden Lake.

Micro drama Planning

Our Micro drama task was to use the key narrative theories to help us create a mini drama based on the
horror genre. We split into two groups so it was easier and more people were involved. There were 5 people in our group: Me, Hannah, Tilly, Millie and Kate.

We started planning by getting together and discussing some basic plot lines from what everyone had pitched to the whole class. Whilst we started to improve and develop the idea though it did totally change from the original idea. This didn't matter but it did make the planning process a lot longer. We then decided on the place to shoot the micro drama and decided that the park would be a good idea as it would be quite creepy at night and very easily accessible.

We then started to story board the basic plot and the different shots that would be necessary. When doing this we had to keep in mind where in the park this could be filmed to look most effective. This will come in very handy when shooting as we know exactly what to film and wont have to rethink things whilst on the shoot wasting time. We then planned the time and date of filming. At this point it became very clear that it would cause a lot of complications to film in the dark so we planned to go a little earlier in the day also due to some of the scenes needing to be in daylight. We hope to make the rest of the scenes seem a lot darker when editing.
