COSTUME IDEA AND PLAN

COSTUME 

We are going to be using an old white dress that I will try and make more authentic, and make it obvious that the character wearing the dress has been through torture. 

i plan on covering the dress in mud, and ripping the sleeves and neckline. 

LOCATION

We decided that the perfect place to shoot our movie would be the rural location of 'Bloody Bridge' just outside of Newcastle, County Down. This is an area that i am quite familair with, and a place where Anna goes camping every summer. Anna was aware of the forest and ruins and this really helped us in the planning aspect of our film.

We have decided this would be the perfect location as it will be practically empty as while it is a popular tourist destination, most people visit in the summer as a pose to March, which is when we are filming. The location also has a lot of history, and this adds to the haunting aspect of our movie.

In his 1898 `Guide to County Down and the Mourne Mountains', Robert Lloyd Praegar writes, 'It derives its gruesome name from the massacre of a number of protestants of Newry, including their minister, in the troubled year of 1641 at the instigation of Sir Conn Magennis.'
Other accounts of this have been recorded by Harris, who wrote what he heard over the truth and for this reason he is not sure whether 24 people or 50 people die. Either way, the people were barbarically killed hence the name Bloody Bridge.

FILMING SCHEDULE - NEWCASTLE

FILMING DAY - 16TH MARCH 2017.



On Thursday 16th March, we will go down to Newcastle to film our main task. A lot of planning is involved in this day as we only have one day to shoot. We started by looking at bus timetables taking us from Belfast to Newcastle. We want to get up as early as possible, so we plan on getting the 8:05am bus which means we should arrive in Newcastle at roughly 9:40am, ensuring we had lots of filming time.

Since our film includes Meabh jumping into the freezing cold water, we want to make sure we film this scene last to ensure meabh is not cold for too long. To do this, we plan on heading to the forest location first. We have decided it will be the easiest and most time efficient to get the  taxi to the forest location. This journey should take around 15-20 minutes and cost us around £3.00 each.









We have checked the weather for our filming day before hand. Although the conditions are not ideal, we have decided to go ahead with filming anyway.

We have a lot of possible bus times to get back to Belfast, incase filming took more/less time than expected.

RISK ASSESMENT

Risk - Meabh could become very cold and sick if she spends too much time in the water due to the time of year we will be filming. (March)

Fix - We need to plan out our day and shots extremely well and know exactly how long we want them to be, angles, shot types, monologue etc. This will hopefully cut down on the amount of time Meabh will be spending in the water, and prevent her from getting too cold.

Risk - Any of us could slip on the rocks surrounding the water and could injury ourselves badly.

Fix - To prevent this from happening, all of us will wear sensible shoes to stop us from slipping. 

Risk - We could damage our equipment such as cameras and tripods.

Fix - We will keep them in padded bags and rucksacks. We will also bring umbrellas to shield the equipment in rainy conditions. 

Risk - Long skirt as part of Meath's costume. This coupled with the fact it will be wet from the water will make it more difficult for her to run. 

Fix - Meabh will have to hold up the skirt when she is running to stop herself from tripping and falling.
