Hanging can be implied. A rope could be used for implication prop purposes exclusively. (we will never actually wrap it around someone's neck - even loosely) To add to a hanging effect, we could just show a chair topple over. Something like this just feels to dangerous especially in the hands of amateurs.
Knives will never be needed. It can be implied the killer has one, but we will never need one.

I know, I love my titles too.
Hindsights a bastard and forgot to tell me that I probably should have filmed a bit more zoomed out to utilise the "cinematic" effect properly.
Shadows and crinkles may provide slight problems. Rectifiable to an extent. Green screen is a success!
Sunday 19 August
Compile case files for both dead and missing victims. Prep camera angles and location possibilities. Monday 20 August Filming the Detective Meeting. Also filming deranged detectives. If all goes well, will have finished a major part of the film. Prep for next day's filming. Tuesday 21 August If possible, usage of staff room and Miss Richardson's office during Media Studies. Possible to grab students out of class momentarily? If not, then... Dunno. Wednesday 22 August Seeing that we have History last on this day, we can film another detective scene here. If Tuesday didn't work out, we can also use this day. Thursday 23 August Chapel scene after school. Hopefully by now we'd have sorted out Liam's killer costume and identity so that during lunchtime we can film a key killer scene. Friday 24 August We'll try to clear as many minor killer scenes as possible after school. Unsure, but we can also film the major victim nightmare sequence here. HANGMAN
----- Scene is of the killer and a victim. For every letter the victim gets wrong, one of her fingers are cut off. Killer: (patronising) That’s 4 letters wrong now… You sure you’re trying? Victim: Please no more… It hurts. Killer: (Turns around) Oh, I’m sure it does. Just remember one thing – I’ve only hurt you because of your stupidity. And I’d be more than happy to deliver more. Now then, guess. Victim: Please, I-- Killer: (Mocking) “Please, I” she says… Guess. Victim: (Crying) F… F! Killer: Come again? Victim: F! Killer: Ah, F? F for freedom, fabulous, fantastic? Victim: Yes! Killer: Frantic, fable, family-- Victim: Yes, just please-- Killer: Failure. Victim: … No, please I-- Killer: What a shame. That’s one more finger milady. Now be a dear and ah, smile for the camera. Knife comes down. Fade to white. High pitched scream. ----- Montage of deaths with reporter’s voice-overs. Reporter 1: Local authorities have discovered yet another woman-- Reporter 2: The situation continues to escalate-- Reporter 3: Medical Examiners have ruled the hanging to be post-mortem-- All 3: They have identified this to be the work of the Hangman Killer. ----- Scene is at a detective meeting. The killer has sent another challenge to them to try and catch him. Detective 1: Our list of victims continues to grow. Detective 2: This guy has to have powerful friends, there’s no way he could have escaped us for so long without someone on the inside. Detective 3: Or maybe he’s just that good. Head Detective: We’ve received another envelope from the killer. He’s asking for another contender… (Pounds table) We can’t afford to lose any more people, but we can’t let any more innocent women die! Who here is willing to go against this man? Who here believes that they can take him down? Main Detective: (Hesitates) I will. ----- Initial conversation on phone between M.D and Killer. The killer is sitting down with two dead bodies surrounding him. Killer: Ah, Mr Freshman. Tell me, what makes you different from the others? Main Detective: I guess you’ll find out. Killer: Oho! Good answer. ----- Meeting in Head Detective’s office. Head Detective: Mentally, this man is unbeatable. We’ve sent the best against him and the best in turn have failed. He completely destroyed their minds. Main Detective: It won’t happen to me. Head Detective: I hope not. All the past detectives, they… They hanged themselves… I’ve buried too many good men already. ----- Phone conversation. During this conversation, the killer is strangling a now dead victim. Killer: And thus the Juliet’s have found their Romeo! Though for their sakes detective, I hope thou aren’t as stupid as thee. Main Detective: You’re insane. Killer: Why thank you. Main Detective: It wasn’t a compliment. Killer: (Cold laugh, releases grip on victim) That’s what makes it sweeter. ----- Home, Fiancé of M.D has discovered a dead body with flowers in her hand. Fiancé: (Pale) There’s a bouquet for you. Main Detective: Is there a note? Fiancé: Yeah… “Flowers for your grave.” ----- National Television. Killer is using a handycam. Killer: An open challenge for Mister Detective! You see little Mandy here? You see, she’s quite the singer, and did I ever tell you how much I love to hear a girl sing? (Brandishes knife) Killer: Every time you guess a letter wrong detective, I’ll make her sing, so that the whole nation can indulge in her voice. ----- Voice over. Main Detective: This man, he wants to be caught. These clues, these words… They’re all connected. ----- Main Detective: Why do you do what you do? Killer: There are fools in the world… They know nothing about true horror. These films with their trashy effects, their bland storylines… You pay to see what is fake and are protected from seeing what is real! And I… I intend to change that. Main Detective: But why girls? Killer: Because in a sea of mediocrity, they managed to get one thing right. ----- Main Detective: “Seraphic”. Killer: That I am. Main Detective: I’m guessing you have an ego? Killer: Don’t all arch villains need one? ----- Killer: (Mockingly) And as you sleep tonight detective, I want you to think. Think, that today you could have saved little Brittany… Or was it Whitney? It doesn’t matter; she’s dead all the same… ----- Main Detective: R. Killer: Correct. Main Detective: B. Killer: Definitely not. Main Detective: N. Killer: Ooh, correct. Main Detective: “Moronic.” Killer: (Laughs) That you are. ----- In a nightmare, the M.D sees a dead detective hanging from the rafters. The “dead detective” comes alive and starts to strangle the M.D. Dead Detective: He’s unbeatable. Give up. Keel over. Die. ----- In another nightmare sequence, the detective is surrounded by all the past dead victims closing around him. Dead Victims: Help me. Save us. Save me. ----- In the chapel, the M.D has withdrawn there to calm himself down. The fiancé is comforting him. Main Detective: I’m not sure if I can do this. Fiancé: But you have to. You’ve come to closest out of all of them to this man. Main Detective: (Looks at her) That’s why I’m afraid. ----- Montage of what will transpire. Sequence will end with a close-up on the killer. Killer: When will you realise detective, that it is futile? From the moment you have entered this game, I have been its one and only master. This is my world now. And in this world, I rule you! ----- HANGMAN Killer: Do I have your attention now? ----- Killer: Death isn’t patient. If you don’t seek it, it seeks you. Main Detective: So, are you death? Killer: No… I’m its harbinger. Costume will be done in a scrap book as drawing costumes is easier than writing about them.
The props we will be needing are wide and varied. The only ones that we know we will need specifically are as follows: Knife or meat cleaver Rope (noose) Flowers Gun(possibly) Case files Photos Chair Chalkboard Detectives office should be furnished with mugs etc. We have not thought further on this however Laurence and I will probably decided closer too the time. Other men are Daniel.
It may just be because of the colour of our school uniform, but the green screen emulation turned out far better than the blue screen. As expected, a blue screen has limited usage in comparison to a green one. The effect is far from perfect as a whole, but considering the cheapness of our method the turnout is above the par we had set for ourselves.
It should be noted that effect wise, tinkering with Chroma Keyer in regards to the green screen emulation was a lot easier than the blue screen. Again, it may just be due to the uniform. The cheapness of the effect can be slightly blurred out by using a soft contrast (see 3rd row) but only slightly. Again, the green screen looks more natural. If I am successful in getting the correct colour correction mixed with the right effects, everything will go smoothly and we will be left with a professional look. I have considered attempting garbage masking, but it's much too tedious for its own good. --Laurence. Courtesy of Mr Gyde, these words were acquired. Currently unsure on how much of a difficulty spike is necessary.
