Planning Blog: Location, Schedule, Participants, Health and Safety

 

I had to work my schedule out according to my mom's work. On March 10th, I will be traveling to a different state for my mom's work. We will be in upstate New York, and there are a lot of woods out there. So I figured that up North would be a good place to shoot the scenes with the killer. And I could film the scenes of my mom and I at our apartment in Florida. My mom, sister, and I will take turns filming, depending on who is not in the scene at that time. For example, my sister would film the first few scenes with the mom and Allison (the victim). I would shoot the scenes that star just the killer. My mom would shoot the scenes with the killer and Allison. The schedule may change, as well as locations, if something changes. If it does, I will shoot the killer scenes in the park across the street from my apartment. I only have 3 actors, which should be enough, but I might add extras if I find someone else. My mom will be present throughout the filming to make sure we are being safe. She will have a first aid kit and have access to 911 if something happens. My mom is a medical professional, as well, so she is reliable. We will be using a fake knife for the killer. It will be just a prop, but my mom will be present just in case. The editing will start right after we are done filming. It probably will take only a few days. Just to get all the music and sound effects will be a separate day. After that, I will work on piecing it together and timing everything.
