My group and I intended to start filming last week on Monday, however one of the members in our group was not able to attend so we made a group decision to postpone the filming. We then made a schedule of when we are filming to enable each member of the group to know exactally what the filming dates are. We decided to make this because this way, we are all much more organised and there can be no excuses for not being able to attend the filming.

For our opening sequence to a thriller, we have decided that we are going to have to film in an old wooden classic house, we will also need to film in a quiet park where there are swings and on a quiet street. Our idea is to have a girl playing with toys, focus changed to the background and we see the dad laying there dead on the floor surrounded in a pool of blood, then we see a flashback of a shadow on a plain wall of a girl being abused along with sounds of shouting and crying. ( all in shadow on the wall) Then it rewinds to the beginning shot which is a girl on a swing, quietly in a deserted park, and singing to herself with a doll in her hand. The doll then falls on the floor (match on action) in slow motion ( sound of door shutting as doll hits the floor) change scene to girl shutting door, we see the girl walking through the hall in the house, going to sit down, she sits down with the doll ,smiling and platting the dolls hair, over the shoulder shot over dad and we see the dad bringing the newspaper up after seeing her play with her doll, and making sure that she is okay by asking her 2 or 3 brief questions. The dad then proceeds to carry on reading the newspaper and lifts it back up to read.2 Seconds later, the dads newspaper being put down, then still over the shoulder, we see the girl sitting there cutting the dolls hair with a big sharp knife staring at the dad with dark thick makeup on her face and blood dripping from her. Then it ends with a loud scream of a man.

Tomorrow we are beggining to film, we are going to one of the members in our groups grandparents house. This is because they have an ideal location for what sort of place we want to film in and it is local to all of us because it is in radl

For the actors, we are using a 7 year old girl who lives in radlett, she is a cousin of one of the members in my group. For the role of the father , we are using a parent as this is very easy and practical. We have now purchased the prosthetic blood. In addition, we have also got a doll that we are going to use.
