Preproduction: Production Design

          Production design is what makes up the visual concept of a film. Production designers are the people who are responsible for creating and managing aspects of the film's look such as sets, graphics, props, lighting, and costumes. For Look Who’s Stalking? Josie and I are going to start the film off in a school setting. This set is popular among teen slasher films, and we wanted to use our high school campus to connect with young viewers. We are actually really lucky to have this set available to us, it saves us a lot of time and money that would have to be spent if we filmed in an actual studio.

I thought that this image was really cool, as it shows how influential lighting is




          Currently, we do not have plans to include any graphics apart from the credits and title reveal (this is subject to change). Pasco High (PHS) also has everything we need prop wise to show the audience where the film takes place, although we might have to find a book bag and some textbooks for this scene’s characters. These items will be quite easy to obtain since Josie and I have these on hand during the week. As far as lighting my group wants to use the never ending Florida sunshine to our advantage by incorporating natural light during the shooting process. In the woods, we want to have the setting look darker to create a scarier tone. This way, it will be easier to form jump scares for the audience. Having a darker scenery pays homage to many horror films and represents a classic horror trope of fear of the dark.

This filming locations was used for "Edward Scissorhands", it's actually located in Lakeland!
