Hey everyone! If you saw my last blog, I constructed a storyboard to visualize what my film could be like. Today, I want to share my film plan for my short horror film. Here is everything I need to make this happen.
1. Actors
I only need one person for this film which is me. Since the story is about being alone late at night, having just one actor makes perfect sense. I will be playing the character who discovers they might be the last person awake.
2. Costumes
I'm keeping it simple:
- Comfy hoodies or sweatshirts
- Pajama pants or sweatpants
- Maybe messy bed hair, will make it realistic
3. Props
Here is what I will need for props:
- Phone (main prop)
- Laptop
- Empty drink cans
- Snack wrappers
- Notebook with writing/scribblings
- Phone charger
- Anything that shows late-night study/work
4. Locations
I'm filming everything in my bedroom, living room and neighborhood (will have to film when it is dark).
5. Dates and times
I am planning to film everything on Saturday night. If there is anything wrong on that day, then I will have a backup shooting day which is Sunday. I will need to film at night for real darkness and it should take about 4 hours at most.
6. Film equipment
Here is my gear:
- My phone for filming (iPhone 15 pro)
- Second phone as a prop (iPhone 8)
- Small desk lamp for lighting
- Tripod/stabilizer
- Ring light
- Power bank
- I can film multiple takes easily
- No need for complicated lighting
- One location
- Can film scenes in any order
- Don't need many props
Difficult Things to Consider:
- Getting the right darkness level
- Making sure the phone has enough battery
- Keeping shots the way I want it
- Sound might be tricky at night
- Making empty streets look creepy
I will be acting and doing most of the filming. My brother with help with some camera work. I will also be doing all of the editing since I pretty much know how to edit well as I have experience doing so. Lastly, my mom will help me with setting up the props and snacks to make it realistic.
