Changes to Cast

After ensuring that everyone could attend the filming session, we came across some difficulties. As a result of the location we are filming in, being in Roydon, it proved difficult for Owen to get there, so because of this, we have had to remove his part from the trailer. As this would then make James the only other boy in our trailer, we realised that this may be slightly unbalanced regarding the people in the cast list, so we have also removed James.

We have replaced James' bedroom scene, by making Lizzie Marsh a new character within the story. If this does not seem to fit our narrative then we may choose to change this scene into something entirely different, which we will decide on the day, after testing out a couple of scenarios.

Also, Lauren is unable to make the day of filming, so we have unfortunately had to replace her part. We decided that instead of Lois' original scene where she is hiding behind a tree, we are going to take this out and instead, make her do the part that Lauren was originally supposed to do.

Schedule for Filming

The day we have chosen to film our movie trailer is 17/11/2013.

How to make wounds using make up


Research into 'Bloody Marvellous' Make-Up

bloodymarvellous™ is a professional range of artificial, fake blood and special effects, prosthetic make up, featured across an extensive portfolio of stage and screen productions including Hollywood blockbusters, UK network TV drama, US sitcoms and prestigious Opera and Theatre companies worldwide.
 
Created by leading film and television make up artist Claire Williams whose 20 years' industry experience led her to develop rigorously camera tested products that withstand the closest range HD shots while being uniquely non-toxic; containing food grade ingredients that are stain-free and safe to swallow.
 
Famed for their ultra-realistic qualities and easy-to-apply formulations, the products are also widely used for casualty simulation in tactical medical, firearms and first aid training and by those wishing to add a professional finishing touch to fancy dress or Halloween costumes.
 
As this brand of special effects make-up is so widely known, we have decided to look at videos of how they apply the make-up to create wounds. There are various tutorials which they provide on YouTube or on their website : http://www.bloodymarvellous.tv/
