Practical Propmaking: Blood

We had a little fun trying to create realistic looking blood. We tried all sorts of mixtures, and finally ended up with a mixture of water, red food die, raspberry and strawberry jam.

Character Profile - Billy

Billy is a lost and troubled soul. His past is a blur, but only one thing remains true; His desire for power. He will stop at nothing to gain revenge on the people that double crossed him, by any means necessary.
After murdering his own brother for ratting him out to another gang, Billy is on the run.

One man's journey to seek out those who crossed him, where all he has left is his wits.



Due to our main character - Conor not turning up to our first filming session, we decided to have billy act and allow me to direct and record. We felt this went extremely wella s the small group allowed minimum arguements and more focused work.

Shot List



This is our Shot-list. It details the technical and visual elements of every single shot we intend to shoot. There is of course the possibility that we deviate slightly from this plan with a few extra shots in places.

In order to optimize our filming time, I have decided to film each clip three times, slightly differently, perhaps with alternative compositions. this allows for maximum flexibility later on in the editing stage and also reduces the chances of us needing to come out and shoot again. Additionally, by shooting extra clips that are not included in the list, we will be giving ourselves even more flexibility by having clips to 'fall back' on, should we decide not to use one of our planned shots for whatever reason.

With this plan, we intend to aim to complete most, if not all of our filming in one day. We have given ourselves time int he time plan to go back and film more, should the need arise. This also applies to editing time in order to meet the deadline.
