Hello and welcome to my blog, where you will find a record of the background research and planning of my slasher film opening, High Royds. Here you will also find my colleagues work as well as i worked with several others over the past six months. The film which inspired our film opening is Madhouse (2004, William Butler).

The Asylum Re-Shoot

Our Re-Shoot 

After shooting our first rough cut, we decided we needed more footage to make our final piece great. so in school we arranged to meet at my house for the shoot, with the following characters:

Psycho shower scene


Heather: scream queen
Jake: The Dr
Curtis: The killer
George:Camera Man/Director

We arranged the first murder scene in the bathroom, using a kitchen knife and ketchup as blood. We used strategies that many films use, probably the most famous, the Psycho shower scene, where they used fast pace editing.






Like the attic stairs we used


We did our shoot after school, planning our shoot within my house. Preparing the scenes we had to do during the week. We had 2 Killing scenes, one of the final girl and one of the Dr.

to make it look much more realistic when special effects aren't available.

The second murder Took place in my bedroom which is up some stairs in the attic. we thought it would be very effective to us this as the stairs are very effective. We did one continuous take with a false scare and a real scare leading up to the death Jake at the end which then goes straight onto the Titles after

  1. all too typical george: messy, and laziness evident in that you don't even bother to tidy up a single sentence you've pasted in

    once more, needs tidying up
    there's not really much detail either: storyboards? shotlist?
