These are images from making the model of the dolls house, we used simple materials and hand made the object.
We used a simple cardboard box and made the model to match the description of the building we filmed in.

Filming

We have now finished all of ourfilming and have started to edit the title sequence. We intend to experiment with the effects and audio sounds. Our main idea for the title sequence is to give it an old fashioned look.

The firts place we filmed was located at Samuel Montagu centre. We used an old and Isolated rugby shower room, in order to create the effect needed we covered the windows and deliberatly placed the fake blood to give it a horror effect.

The next place was a dark corridor.We used set up lighting to place the lighting in the right position, it turned out exactly as we planned because we intended the corridor to have very little light just enough to make out very fine and little detail of the scene.

Next we used a dark room with black walls. This was to film the scene with the jewellery box and the scene with the killer present and making the model of the "dolls house". We used little light because out main aim of that scene was to make the camera focus on either the jewellery box or the killer making the model of the murder victims.

Next to film was the sink scene this was our final scene to film. we filled a plain white sink with water and fake blood and had fake blood slowly dribbling in to the sink from above.

Camera shots

Extreme Wide Shot (EWS)..

The extreme wide shot is to show the surroundings of the Locations. The EWS is often used as an "establishing shot" - Which is normally the first shot of a new scene, they do this normally to introduce the location and the surroundings in which the characters are in.


Mid Shot...
The mid shot is normally introduced as the story line progresses giving the audience a chance to connect with the characters. This shot doesn't show the complete surroundings but goes into more detail.


Close up...

This on either a face, or a detail of mise en scene. Its created to show more detail, for example expressions on a characters face or important features that need to be deliberately highlighted and noticed but the audience.

Making fake blood for the title sequence

Title

As a group we decided on the title "Dolls House". We chose this title because we intend to have a model of the location in which the murderer keeps their victims.

We had an idea of making the murderer female. Possibly because we wanted to try and connect the storyline with feminism and the novel "A dolls house by Ibsen". We intended for the storyline to have a strong meaning behind it.
