- 1. Pre-production: This involves reading and rehearsing the script getting to know your character and getting to know the casts while practising and practising their lines, witch was written by Neil Marshall the director of this film. Story boarding where the director and the producer sit down to discus the film and place sections of the scenes carefully in there right place this takes a lot of time because the more time is put in the more informed you are about what you want to do. Casting is part of this section where they look for actors via auditions, girls who would fill/suit the characters of the story. They also do scouting for a location (places to do some filming): interior the set and exterior, the exterior was the forest; the interior is the cave as it was man made moulded clay. Production: This is the filming process and here we see the director (Neil Marshall) do something clever to get realistic emotions out of the characters, as he gets the crawlers and the six actresses to rehearse in a different space and when they’re brought together during the filming we get a genuine reaction out of the characters. We start acting and positioning the camera to get the best out of a scene. There’s a part where Sarah is stuck in a cave and they place the camera at an angle where we can see her escape before the rocks tumble onto her. Stunts are being perfected at this stage to make them more energetic and fun to view while keeping the element of safety intact. This is the time when Prosthetic make up is made for the crawlers, the broken leg and ripped throat with fake blood, which is used in all the gory scenes to frighten the audience. We Start use of green screen for the set to make the cave look more realistic. Post-production: Here its mostly Editing which takes three times as longer then filming, this is because its done section by section. Filtering unwanted shots and adding the necessary ones and adding colour grade to add emotion. Example the scene when Juno sparks a red flair this indicates us as the readers as what their feelings. Music and sound effect is also edited here to give more of a climax to the film in general. The sound effects are used mostly in the fighting scenes so we feel the tension in the action. The music is sometimes composed directly as the filming is taking place in the CGI moments. CGI (computer generated images) is key in this part as its used 3 times in the first part of the film: the raft course the metal poles that go through Pauls head and the blood that comes out of Pauls head while in the car.
