IMAGES OF THE NUN'S BEDROOM

NUN BEDROOM IMAGES

COSTUME ORDER

I've tried to look through different ways of finding a reasonable price for our actress (NUN). We didn't want to spend a lot of money just for our actress as we have a list of things that still needs to be included into our trailer for example; We need to print off posters, make a wooden cross that will be placed/hanged onto the nuns bedroom door and many other things that needs to be done before filming. 

I went on AMAZON to see what comes up on the search button when i searched; 'NUN COSTUMES'.

POSTERS FOR THE NUN BEDROOM

The images that are presented on this post has been thought carefully about including into the Nuns bedroom as we have be on a journey into finding the best suitable room to use for the Nun's room to film in. We had noticed that the room was bare and had a few plain boards that were empty as i thought of an idea to add holy posters/images to make the feel of the atmosphere calm and peaceful and PURE. 

Our idea for these posters were to print them out A3 size to stick onto each of those empty board into the bedroom ready to film for our trailer. 

Virgin Mary is what the Nuns connect/respect but as a group we wanted to use Jesus because his the son of God and his experience with evil is well known over many other religions. 

TEST SHOT - NUN BEDROOM - NUNNERY

This video is a short discussion about the room we had found that best suited to be the nun characters room to film. We thought about what we needed to take out from the room and what is in need for adding inside the room to make it look like a nun's bedroom; plain but not full of posters and lots of colours as the room is mostly white. The things we need to include inside the room are;

• bed sheets
• cushion
• table cover
• cross hanged onto the door
• symbol of cross on her table
• long mirror

clock, ball and wallpaper

TEST SHOT - DOOR HANDLE

As a group we had a discussion on what is the first test shot we should focuss on. We looked back at out storyboards and thought of the 'shot 22' of the door handle moving up and down as someone is trying to get in. Doing test shots was one of the main key discussions to consider trying out before hand. It was important that we moved onto doing our test shots for out trailer, ready to shoot our final scenes that would end up to become the final trailer once each scene is put together. Not only it will show us how each scene will look like, it also will allow the group to look back at the test shots to see if anything can be developed further to be better quality. We may be able to change small parts of the scenes from the lack of the quality of acting or how the shot came out to be.

I'LL HAUNT YOU WHEN I'M DEAD

Finding an effective, personal reaction which i gave while watching this YouTube documentary. Watching this made me realize the differences between the real and the unreal. Linking back to my on going Horror trailer which is still in making, i can say that the real life experiences can match to this video!

2ND PRELIM TASK

As a group when chose to watch our first Prelim Task which didn't last long as we expected it to. We watched the short scene we re-created from The 'Devil' and discussed about re-making another scene from another film, as we learnt our lesson to make sure we took as many videos possible so if we ended up not having enough of the right shots, we would be able to look back at what we filmed so far and consider including some or parts of it into the scene.

We re-created the scene from the movie 'Creatures.'

HERE ARE THE SCENES WE TOOK BEFORE WE PUT TOGETHER AND EDITED THE SCENE TO LOOK SIMILAR TO THE SCENE WE WAS INFLUENCED BY:

NUN OUTIFT

As i was looking at the website AMAZON i thought of looking for some Nun Outfits, i also wanted to look for a Priest outfit to get both outfits a rough estimate as a group we don't want to spend a lot of money as a group we want to be flexible with money and not spend on something we can create our , to be able to rely on each other. 

For the Nun Outfits the rough cost starting from was about: £9.00 - £16.99

For the Priest Outfits roughly costs from: £9.90 - £18.00

As a group we haven't come up with a final discussion if we want to go ahead to order the outfits just yet although we have to think fast if we should as we wouldn't want to lose time on filming as the outfits are the most important part to create the feel of the character.

PENTAGRAM

What is a Pentagram?
The Pentagram means different things to different people. Some argue against different meanings to what it really is. The right side up represents the Divine God ruling over the world of matter. The 5 Points represent the 5 places that Christ was wounded. Traditionally they say that Demons are afraid of it. This is another belief of the Pentagram from others point of view but there are many definitions that people believe in.

The Pentagram also represents the elements; Spirit, Water, Air, Earth and Fire. You can see this from the diagram below... This image as you can see is also known for being used by most people in Witchcraft soon as people recognize this image.
                                              

.................................................................................................................................................................

CHRISTIANITY: The Pentagram was apparently used in ancient times as 'The Christian Symbol' for the five senses. In the Medieval time the Christians believed that the "Pentalpha" symbolizes the five wounds of Christ. This was believed for the people to be protected against the Demons. 

.................................................................................................................................................................

THE HUMAN STARS: The saying 'Every man and every women is a star' We can juxtapose Man on a Pentagram with head and four limbs at the points and the genitalia exactly central. This is a Man in microcosm, Symbolizing our place in the Macrocosm or universe and the Hermetic/Tantric philosophy of associativity as above, so below. 

As a group while coming up with the narrative, we thought of an idea including the Pentagram into our trailer but when we looked into the meaning of the Pentagram, we had a discussion about:

• Would we allow the demon to attach itself onto us even though we are producing a trailer?
• Would it be a typical idea which most horror trailers/films include and would we want to copy it?
• Could we link candles to the Pentagram and create our own version of the Pentagram?

PLANNING of 'PROPS'

In the group i started to keep a list of possible things/objects/Props my group might need to help produce the trailer. The important part of having a list is to make sure we include everything we will need beforehand so the group doesn't end up falling behind e.g. (If we don't have the costume for the 'nun' then we can not film without the full look of the character). In the group i am aiming to keep a note pad which will allow the group to add into anytime they feel an idea occurs to them, this will also allow each group member to read through all the notes we came up with as a group. We want to make sure all the ideas are discussed and thought clearly about whats most effective to be included into our trailer. 

Here are some of the Props we may need to complete the trailer:

• Blood
• Chair
• Salt
• Candles
• Wallpaper
• Scratched Walls
• Book (Holly/Dictionary)
• Demon Script
• Nun outfit/'s 
• Mirror
• Cross 
• Symbols 
• Bed
• Cushion
