Location Stills

We visited the location where we plan to film all of our exteriour footage, ad took still images of different positions and angles so that we can put together a detailed story board of all of the exteriour sequences.

Ghost Hunting Documentaries

I have chosen to make a documentary on a ghost hunting theme, creating similar settings and effects to current documentaries such as 'Ghost Hunters' 'Most Haunted' and 'The Othersiders'. I am also using Paranormal horror/ thriller and documentary style films such as 'Paranormal Activity' to gather ideas of locations, characters, camera angles and Mise-en-scene.

I have included some examplesand clips below:

The Othersiders




Ghost Hunters




Most Haunted



Paranormal activity

A2 Practical Production

For my A2 practical production i have chosen to make an extract from a new documentary. I am planning to make a 'mockumentary' style ghost hunt / paranormal documantary. I have chosen this because I am interested in moving image media and I enjoy editing moving image. I also think that making a documentary of this theme would be interesting and present many challenges which I will be able to overcome, such as capturing footage in one single take with the use of multiple cameras and creating a 'haunted' and 'dark' atmosphere in the post production.

Preliminary Task: video editing

For a preliminary task, using film equipment and editing software I created a small montage of footage showing characters walk through doors. I edited the footage so that different doors in reality, lead to different rooms in the footage.
