Sound and Light plan

We have briefly spoken about sound and lighting but we still have to actually do tests, to see what works whilst filming.
We got the idea of getting a normal light and covering it with a thin dark scarf so that we can still see what we're filming, as we're filming in the dark. We got this idea from one of our teachers.
For the fire light we will be lighting a real campfire and then testing to see if it works on a camera. I if it doesn't give a strong enough glow, we will try using a torch with a red scarf/lense.
This will take us a while to work out thr right level of lighting that enables us to film, whilst still giving the sense of pure darkness with natural light. We will use trial and error, untill it's perfect.
The sound we use is mainly ambient and dialogue. We may have to pre-record sounds and put them on the film while editing, as cars could drive past our filming area and may ruin the effect.
Our background music will come from a website that has different types of un-copywrited music.

The main tune that people are focussed on though, is the humming of 'Pop goes the weasel' from the mystery killer.
