Risk Assessment Forms

Before starting the filming process we first formed a list of potential risks that could be encountered when filming, gave them a low, medium or high rating, and came up with solutions to how these could be avoided.

This meant that we were aware of risks that could possibly encountered on set and knew how to avoid them to make our production a success.

Venue release forms

Before filming in the house location we first had the owner sign a venue release form (above) to make sure we had their consent for their house appearing in the trailer and on the internet, on Youtube.

Costumes

The costumes for the main character 'Sophie' were contemporary clothing typical to the age and sex of the character, as well as the region in which it was based (Liverpool.)

We opted for a more natural approach when it came to make-up. As in many horror/thriller genres actors are not overly done up.
Using a foundation to match actors skintone, a light lipstick and brown mascara. 

                                                      The ghost character wore an old-fashioned,
                                                       loose cotton nightdress.

The ghost's make up was an exaggerated white foundation to make the character ghostliness more obvious.

Props

An entire list of the props and equipment we needed for the whole production process was;

• Camera
• Tripod
• Batteries
• Torch
• Doll
• Chair
• Mirror
• Mug
• Magazine

Actors

Our first actor was the film's main character; 'Sophie.' This was played by Victoria Elliott.

The next actor was the ghost character. This was played by Christy Grady.

The final character was the main character's friend, 'Sarah'. This was played by myself.
