Final Filming Day in the Cemetery

Me and Ms Whipp after the filming was finished.

Today was our  final filming day for Live Evil in the cemetery. I'm sad that it's almost done since we are having so much fun filming the scenes, but I'm glad everything worked out without any problems and that I was able to quickly come up with a new ending allowing us to continue filming today as planned.
As a result of changes to the story, I had to become the villain, which was something I was a bit nervous about since my acting skills have room for improvement. But I'm glad the shots came out alright from what I saw in the camera. Overall this experience was really fun, I enjoyed playing a character which was nothing like me, it was fun pretending to drag Rebecca on the floor, hit her on the head with a flashlight and hide in the woods behind gravestones and slightly scary too.

But I have to admit that filming there for more than 1 hour caused us to stay there when it was slightly darker than planned and consequently some of the people we encountered there were slightly strange for example there was a guy that came past us three times which made our lead actress feel a little uneasy.
However the ambient sound was great, we managed to record the sounds of crows, the crushing of leaves, the wind whistling and airplanes flying.
Last but not least I'm really glad we chose Ms Whipp as our main actress, she really grasped Rebecca's character and her feelings, over all her acting was fantastic especially the scream she did during the dragging scene.

Today was probably one of the most important filming days so far since we would finally be filming the highlight of our movie, the most important and scariest scene- the dragging scene. This scene needed to work out no matter what, so we gave extra detail to props and equipment.

Preparing for the dragging scene.

One of the ways we did this was by getting me to bring black plastic bin bags to place on the floor where the actress would lie on. We did this in order to allow the actress to slide easily while I dragged her and prevent the actress's clothes from getting ruined. Judging from the footage we saw on the camera after recording, the plastic bags could be clearly seen, but since that couldn't be helped we decided that this rather than being a problem, added extra creepiness to the screen, by suggesting that those bags had been placed there by Amber because she might be using them to hide the body later on.

The final killing scene also took place today. We used fake blood in order to add realism into our film and make it look as if I really did hit Rebecca with a flashlight, since the action wasn't shown.

Propp's Character Theory

Live Evil carries two of the seven characters types identified by the Propp, the first is The Hero who in this case is Rebbeca who the story revolves around, and is the character which we as an audience know most about. She is also the only survivor who manages gets into direct conflict with the antagonist (The Villain) and at the end fulfill's her quest which in this case was to save her own life. The antagonist is always wearing darker colours and his face always remains hidden behind a mask.
However he fails to include marginal characters, which in my films case is the mother. In Live Evil the mother is almost a character however she still makes a significant contribution to the film's storyline, since she allows the story to continue when she accidently sits on top of the remote control making the film continue to play.
