- Shir decorated the set the night before, so we had a clear idea of what we had and what was needed.
- We gathered supplies separately before meeting- I got wooden clippings (for the polaroids) and Shir bought a cake (for the tea party), the little details make the set a lot more believable and brings the character of the murderer to life.
- I arrived at Shir's house (where the set is) and we made sure everything was ready for when the actors came- Shir added more items such as barbie dolls and candles which gave the set made the set look definitely more eerie. Since I was the one who bought most of the blythe dolls, we also dressed them up and placed them all over the room.
- The actors arrived shortly after, for the killer's desk (where he hangs up photos of his victims), we photographed Tanya, April and Gale in their normal clothing around the house doing mundane things such as going to the car, walking, sitting, talking with friends and creepier shots such as sleeping and looking worried/paranoid, pointing at the camera or looking directly into the camera.
- While Shir dealt with printing out the photos we took and cutting them out, I got the actors ready. We needed fake blood so I made a concoction of corn starch, water, and red food colouring (goes on their dresses and face). I used makeup to give the actors the appearance of being dead for a while (pale face/ hollow cheeks/ bruises).
- We then filmed from about 1-2pm to around 6pm, since we already had the storyboard, the process of filming went by quite fast and it really helped us out with the organising which scene came up first. We changed a few things from our storyboard if it didn't fit or if an alternative way looked better.
- Right after everyone else left, Shir and I immediately started the editing process.
Here's a video I made of the BTS of filming Project AM.
