Music research
To help make the genre thriller clear, we have to make sure that the music we use creates a suspense or an eerie feel. After typing into youtube 'Eerie music' and 'Music with suspense' we even researched music that was used in the TV program homeland. We came across these four that we felt would fit into our opening scene perfectly.
Once each shot is lined up correctly, we will then decide which one has the most effect.

Lake shot
To achieve the shot of a girl dead in a lake, we filled a bath with leaves and water. Megan layed in the water as we postioned the leaves to cover any evidence of being in a bath. We used an extreme close up so you could just see the water, leaves and her face.
We used pale make up to show the fact that she is dead, and may have been there for quite some time.
Images of the group working
Here is Dom playing around with the typography for 'Divided', exploring which one fits the genre the most.
Here I am on Photoshop working on the poster to advertise 'Divided'.

Risk Assessment
Our Risk Assessment
This is our risk assessment sheet that we filled in before shooting at Galleywood Common as this area has a lot of lakes and uneven ground, and may be a slip hazard.. We also identified the dangers of using the ladder, the bath and the hammer/axe. We can avoid accidents by using the equipment safely and responsibly.
