This video is yet another example of my group members and I determining who to designate as the actors for our presentation and whether the scenes that we picked are good enough to include in our overall introduction scene. My group members and I are glad we used these short excerpts as practice to determine what errors we would make because we discerned that using family members is not necessarily the best method for picking actors. After taking this into account my group and I have discerned that we may need to change the actors for our presentati on.

The video above is just a brief excerpt from a draft shoot that my group and I held throughout the week. This was meant mainly for the actors to get comfortable with the camera and their roles in the opening scene. We also used the draft film to determine if the props and people/actors we mentioned in last week's post were actually going to work when trying to create something presentable for Cambridge. We are glad we practiced our opening scene to determine any issues with the film. One issue that stood out to me was the fact that a real cleaver was used to film the portion of, which could result in a safety hazard.

actors: Protagonist-son (Andrew) Antagonist- mother (Annie) Others- father (Richard) costumes: Our costumes will more so be normal apparel. Nothing extravagant. The only thing that will be different will be when Annie is in her terrorized state, where she will be dressed in ripped clothing and added special effects. props: No props will be needed except for the special effects scenes. We will then dim the light and add spooky elements. locations: Whitney house/ neighborhood dates and times: Both daylight and nighttime scripts: the intro will have no script or speaking parts and film equipment: All video will be shot on Whitney's phone
