Miniature effect


















This special effect is needed for one of the cuts in between the kitchen scene, it is designed to shock and to give a small insight into what happens in the rest of the film. First the toy car must be slightly damaged with a hammer, making it seem it has actually crashed, then it will be placed on top of a home made road. The camera is positioned on the ground, level with the car so it takes up roughly a half of the screen. Then the green screen is then placed behind the car and replaced with a road image in post-production. The total cost of this effect, including the toy car and the materials used to build the road, comes to £7.00. The sound of an ambulance siren will be added in the editing stage.


Prosthetics effect















This effect is needed to show the audience that this character is a cannibal and a killer, it uses shock factor and gore to gross out the viewer. There are two possible ways of completing this effect, the first is by making a fake hand out of papier mache and cutting the fingers off with a knife. The second method is by using someone's real hand covering it in fake blood and cropping it in post-production. The total cost of this effect including the fake hand equipment and blood is £8.50. The sound of meat being cut and sliced up will be added in post-production.

Scale model effect














This effect is another cut within the kitchen scene designed to give some insight into the movie and to scare the audience. To create the barn we will use cardboard and paint it to match an image found on the internet. Then it will be placed on a concrete slab to keep it stable with a green screen background to be replaced with a sky image in post-production. The total cost of this effect is around £1.00. A fire crackling effect will be added in the editing process.


Contingency Plan

If the miniature car doesn't look realistic, we will have several cars to choose from, also if the road does not match the background image, we will use a green screen beneath the car and add a road image in post production.

For the fake hand, if it does not work, we can use a group member's real arm, have the rest of their body out of frame, then put home-made blood on top.

If the barn does not catch fire , we can add footage of fire in the editing stage.
