Actor Changes

Due to the unavailability of Gavin Bruce (Dad) and Thierry Zimmerman (Emily) we had to adjust our story and make changes to the actors. Colette Redgrave (Mum) is now a single mum and that was the reason for the move. Our group thinks this is a better decision anyway because it makes the actress more vulnerable to what is going to happen later on in the film. Our new actress for Emily is called Abigail Hulme, a student from Weald who fits the character description perfectly!

Filming Equipment

For filming we chose to use a Cannon DSLR this was down to many reason which I will now explain: the canon has a swivelling vari-angle LCD screens make it easier to compose shots at awkward angles and improves handling when shooting movies. it’s with movie recording that this system excels, offering smooth, continuous autofocus. 

Opening Inspiration

These are a few of the many film examples that carry the same theme and atmosphere that we are intending to create in our opening scene of Hextall Court.

Clown Mask

We wanted to record our own version of Venetian Gondola by Ignaz Friedman, which is our chosen piece of music in our opening scene, to abide by the copyright rules. We asked the music teacher at our school, Miss Lonnborg, and she played the song on piano whilst we recorded it. We are looking to use it within the beginning of our film to juxa-position the erry opening, the panning shots of the house and the hanging of the girl.
