We are now 2/3 of the way through our filming and editing. We have filmed all of the street and inside house scenes, and some graveyard shots to intercut with the possesion scene. We have edited down all the video for these scenes to make it look snappy, professional and creepy. We have also edited the audio so it flows well, and avoids it sounding like the audio is coming from different directions. We have added some royalty free music to enhance the scenes, 'The House of Leaves' and 'Tropic of Capri'. The former is an eerie string based soundrack song, used so far as a motif when Sam answers his phone, and the latter is a fast paced dance track used when Sam is running through the streets to make the video more fast-paced and action-packed.
All we need to do now is film the opening scenes and the possesion scene and edit it down. The only problem is that it is set outside and thus we need to wait for an ideal time as the weather can be rather changeable at this time of year.

Snow
The large amounts of snow and ice around at this time of year could be used to build up an atmosphere in our movie and it could also make the filming look more interesting, artistic and visually interesting. It will also tie scenes together as many places look similar when snowy. This means that we can use different locations for different aspects of the filming and make it seem like it is set in only one place. The consistency of weather conditions will make the film flow better, and stop different scenes looking out of place.
EDIT:
Here are the scenes we had to scrap because of the snow, as explained below.

Script
Script
Scene 1
Establishing shot of scene
Background talking, 90’s music playing
Teen 1 starts playing with Ouija board
Suddenly, the teen goes rigid, eyes wild. His eyes start rolling and he starts thrashing about, screaming inhumanly. The other people around the fire back away, scared. One takes out a phone.
Teen 2: (On phone) ‘Sam! Quick, we need you!’
Sam: (On phone) ‘I’m there’
Sam starts running to the commotion, via the town centre. He takes short cuts through alleys, vaulting over walls.
Sam arrives at the scene.
Sam: ‘Back off! Stay away from him/her!’
Sam approaches the still screaming teen and places his hands on him.
He starts reciting an exorcism in Latin more and more frantically as the teen thrashes around more and more.
Scene 2
Sam wakes up suddenly, screaming.
Recovering, he gets up, dresses and makes his way downstairs
He is halfway through his breakfast when his phone rings, with the same 90’s music.
Man: (On phone, deep voice) ‘It’s Back’
The phone is dropped, falling slowly and hits the ground with an echoing bang.
