Script for 'bottled up'

Research for filming our trailer

Timing - 
As we are filming in the evening we needed to research the time that the sun sets. We do not want to film at night as it would be too dark and we wouldn't be able to film anything as it would be too dark to see our footage. Therefore, we have chose to film our footage at sunset time as this will be when it starts to get dark and it will still be dark enough to set the atmosphere for our trailer but it will not be too dark that you won't be able to see our footage. We will also be filming in the daytime around lunchtime as this will be when young Eden will be playing in the park with her parents, it will be set in the daytime as this is when children normally go to the park to play.

Planning for filming - 

We have uploaded screenshots and voice recordings to show how we planned to film. Our screenshots and voice recordings show us arranging with our actors when and where to film.

  

Makeup -

For 'normal' Eden, we will be using makeup that teenage girls would wear daily but with a darker twist as Eden likes darker things. For example we would have Eden's character wearing foundation, mascara and lipstick. However, we will also add eyeliner and a dark shade of eye shadow to make Eden's look darker as she likes dark things.

For 'Evil' Eden, we will also be using the same makeup look that teenage girls would wear daily however, we would make the look a lot more gothic and darker than 'normal' Eden's look. To complete the look, we will complete 'evil' Eden's look by making evil Eden wear a very dark eye shadow shade such as black or dark grey, we will also have Eden wearing a lot of eyeliner to make her eyes look even darker. We will also have Eden wearing a dark shade of lipstick. We will also use special FX makeup by gluing pieces of thread across Eden's mouth to look as if her mouth is sewed together. We will use smudges makeup underneath Eden's eyes to make it look like she has been crying, this is a connotation to show that Eden is upset or depressed. We will use a dark red lipstick for evil Eden's character to wear as dark red lipstick  is dark enough to give Eden a gothic look however, it is light enough to show the special FX makeup of Eden's sewn up lips.


 

The makeup we will use for the group of teenage girls and Tiffany will be a makeup look that most teenage girls would wear daily however, these girls will have a more 'girly' look than Eden therefore, instead of wearing dark shades of makeup the girls will be wearing lighter shades such as pink lipstick and eye shadow. The girls and Tiffany will also be wearing eyeliner.





The makeup we will use for Eden's mum Tracy will be a makeup look that an older female may wear such as a lighter style of makeup and maybe not a full face of makeup. Eden's mums character will be wearing mascara, eye shadow and lipstick and maybe a little bit of foundation.











We will not use any makeup for young Eden as this character is a child and children don't usually wear makeup.

Hairstyles - 
'Evil' Eden and 'normal' Eden's hairstyles will be a natural hairstyle without being styled. Therefore, Eden's character will have the same hairstyle as our actor for Eden which is a short, curly hairstyle.



However, we will we make 'evil' Eden's hair messier by backcombing it, we are using evil Eden's messy hair as a connotation for a struggle to show Eden's struggle with her self.



The hairstyles the teenage girls will be wearing will be a mix of their natural hairstyles and styled hairstyles. Some of the girls may have styled hair such as straightened hair and some will have their  natural hairstyle.

     styled                        natural

Tiffany will have a styled hairstyle, she will have a hairstyle of long, straight blonde hair.



The hairstyle that Tracy will have will be a short, straight hairstyle that curls into her face. This will be a 1950's style hairstyle which will match her look as she dresses in 1950's style clothes.


The hairstyle that Jonathan will have will be short, greying, black hair. His haircut will resemble a haircut of which an average middle aged man would have.

The hairstyle young Eden will be wearing will be her hair will be in two low ponytails, her hair will be curly and the ponytails will be tied up in ribbons that will be matching the colour of her dress,

Location for 'Bottled Up'

For our trailer for 'Bottled Up' we will be using several different locations. One of the locations we will be using for our trailer will be a forest. We will be using a forest for one of our locations as a forest is remote, isolated and usually dark. A forest may be a semantic element of horror films as its conventions fit in with a horror film and this location is used a lot in horror films. As a forest is dark or usually dimly lit, this will help give our trailer a scary atmosphere. We will use a modern looking house to film the sleepover and the film where Eden is told about her fathers death. We will be using a modern looking house as the trailer is set in present times so we will use a house which looks like a typical house that people may own or live in now. We have also used a house as a setting to create a sense of realism to the audience. We will use low key lighting in the house to create an eerie and dramatic effect. Although the house setting will be modern, we will use an old fashioned creepy looking bathroom for the scene of 'normal' Eden changing into 'Evil' Eden. We will also then use flashing lights to create a dramatic and effective scene for our audience. Our last location will be a school. We will use a school to create a sense of realism to our audience. We will also use the school location to show how Eden is a normal teenager who is a student who has to go to school and get on with everyday life despite her troubles. This helps the audience relate with Eden.
