Day 2 of Filming the Final Piece

Day 2 was our planned day to use the extras, and have access to setting up all of Jake's house to make it look like a party. After getting times sorted for all of the group members, we made an 'Facebook' event private message that invited a large amount of people to Jake's house who we considered to have a good understanding of what we were trying to create, here was our invitation.

Hello people, Me, Jake Hipwell, Sam Askey and Alex Hyden need some people to be in a thriller opening we have to make for media, just to be extras at a halloween party doing party stuff, you wont need to say any lines but might need to act a tiny bit, we really need some people though so it would be great if you could help :)

If everything works out right we should be filming this saturday afternoon, at Jakes house, should take 2 or 3 hours at the most.

let me know if you can or not or have any questions, thankyou! 

However, to our disappointment, Ben didn't get many returns as the group had hoped so we all just invited friends we knew we could trust in taking it seriously and ended up with around ten extras, which worked just as well I think in the end anyway. Most of those however brought costumes, so we easily just dressed up different people in different outfits making it look like more people are at the location. 

Ultimately, I think the shoot went really well despite the loss of female extras, however we played with that and it helped us gain new ideas on the way. We got all the party shots we needed, with all the extras and did it all under three hours which was a lot less than we had expected. Because of the extra time we acquired we had time to film any ideas that our group got during the shot and one of those ideas was shots of every character flashing up on screen with a brick wall behind them, this can be seen being made here. 

I think everyone who was involved in todays work, was pleased with the outcome and can't wait to see the final product.
