Test shots!!!

We needed to test where the dead people would be laying and whether the jump down from the ledge by our villain would dramatic enough, so we did test shots.

We decided in order have a couple dead people hanging on the brick ledge as it establishes it is a school and also has a rough and drab look as the bricks are stained and there are the wire fences behind, implying Alice is 'caged in'.

 We also wanted to use part of the playground equiptment to create a more dynamic shot of death. We tested one of our actors laying on the apparatious and it broke down the body more, so the actor has to do less acting, making it more believable when tangled on it.

We also tested how our villain would land from the ledge. The natural but dark lighting when he was standing up on the ledge makes him look more dominant and imposing, but also hides his identity from the audience more. This also allowed us the test our low angle shots in order to make him look imposing and scary toward the audience and more importantly the character 'Alice'.
