Planning/making our swede.

To plan our swede, we discussed as a group which films we all knew of and could use. We came to the agreement on 'Scream'. We then watched clips from the film and decided that we thought the opening scene would work best. We then watched the clip again and focused on the dialogue so we could ensure that we included all the main lines between ghost face and Casey Becker.

For props we agreed that the popcorn would be an imortant part and would help to set the scene. We brought this ourselfs and used a cardboard box as a frying pan. We made the scream mask ourself with paper and maker pens using images from google as a guideline of how it should look. We also drew a paper knife. For ghost face's custome, we used plastic bin liners and added wholes for Dionne's arms. Finally we used our own mobile phones for the converstation between Dionne and Layla.

Our actors for the swede were Layla and Dionne and me and Yasser were the directors, Yasser also was the voice of ghost face. We came to this agreement as we thought that Layla could fulfil the stereotypical role of a blonde and Dionne was happy to be ghost face, although there was some difficulty while running with the mask on so we had to be aware of health and safety issues.

Fortunately, we had the opportunity to use the lower ground kitchen in college for our swede, this was perfect as the opening scene to Scream was in the kitchen of a house. We used the corridors for the running scene and had to inform the nearby teachers that Layla would be screaming, this ensured we did not disrupt their classes.

We had to be aware of the fact that we only had one lesson to complete the filming, we worked well as a team as we managed to get all the shots we needed. Although our timekeeping skills were good, we could have added a few more shots at the end of the scene if we had more time.
