Once the costume was ready we began designing the set of the killers preparation area. We wanted it to be grungy and creepy in relation to his character so we set him in front of a mirror that had been boarded over. We used a black plastic bag to cover the mirror which added to the griminess in the mise-en-scene we were looking for. Next we wanted a sort of shrine of my character, the lonely boy, who he was about to kill. This would add even more depth to the character giving audiences connotations of his insanity. We printed of some pictures of me and cut them out to stick on the covered mirror. We also thought of the Dark Knight's promotion scheme which had red graffiti covering faces. We thought this would add more detail to the setting and give the shrine an even creepier look. We then added candles to the shrine to make the setting gloomey surrounding our character.
Finally we filmed the killer walking down an alleyway. We decided on an alley near the primal location, its look went well with the mise-en-scene of the party so audiences could connote the killer's location is close to the victims. We told Alex to walk in a odd way with his feet facing inwards to make his character look more sluggish and abnormal, adding to his villainous traits. We finished the shout in around an hour and a half and got a wide variety of shots.
We have finally got all the footage ready for me to edit.
