Pre-Production - Hospital Research
To create an authentic hospital scenes I have looked into several hospital dramas such as Holby City, Casualty and ER. Here are some photographs of scenes from these drama's. I hope to create similar sets for my short film.
Pre-Production - Locations
I am currently in the process of contacting several different hospitals over London asking them whether they would allow me to use one of their rooms to film in. Here are the hospitals I have contacted...
Pre-Production - Lighting
For my short film 'The Window' I plan to use bright lighting to create the bright white effect of hospital rooms. To create this effect I have bought a floodlight on a stand to enhance the lighting on set. Here is a photo of what I have bought.
Pre-Production - Costume
Here is a sample of the costumes I am hoping to hire for my three actors. I will be needing two patient costumes and one nurse costume.
Pre-Production - Props
This is the website in which I am trying to hire props from for my short film 'The Window'. Props that I will be needing are...
.dripstands
.heart monitors
.nurse costume
.patient costumes
.medical bedside tables
.face tubes
.stethoscopes
I am expecting an email from this website within the next few days.
Pre-Production - Casting
These are just a few of the responses my partner and I recieved after sending out an email to a handful of actors who we thought were suitable for our project. We were suprised with the interest people seemed to have in our film. Many of these people were sent the script and everyone had very positive reviews of the story. Eventually we chose two actor's who we thought would fit our character descriptions and could be creative. We met with one of our male actor's before hand as well as our female actress who volenteered to participate in our project several weeks before the shoot. Here are some photographs of our final cast.

Pre-Production - Change of story
I have now decided to change my short story from 'Ghost-Like' to 'The Window' as I felt that I did not have enough time to create the special effects and shoot the complicated scenes. Therefore I have chosen to film the short story 'The Window' as only one location is needed and the effects can be simple yet effective. Also have gained much audience feedback on my two stories it has become clear that people are more interested in seeing my interpretation of 'The Window' rather than 'Ghost-Like' as many said that the story is more powerful and meaningful. I look forward to working on my new project.
