Sorry I haven't been on in a while but it has been completely crazy. We have been having some of our basement walls replaced since filming began. So our house is on stilts until they get the new walls in. They already have one side but they are now crashing in the other ones this week. They will probably be done the end of this week or the beginning of next week.
The setup days consisted of arranging hay bales, laying down fake plastic limbs, stringing up party-like lights, party stuff. They were also setting up their sound stuff and camera stuff...it was cool! I will maybe post pictures once the movie comes out in April 2011...don't want to get the production company mad by releasing stuff before the date.
Our property had many semi-trucks and equipment on it during filming, but most of that stuff's gone now because they are taking a break filming in our barn for a week. Then they are going to come back and film for as much as five more days! Cool!! I am going to ask if I can meet some of the actors...not counting on a 'yes' but its worth a try.
There is a tent with AWESOME food that we can eat at dinner time! I had salmon the first night, flank steak the second, and a thick steak the third. There is also a truck and we can go and get snacks throughout the night. They usually only let crew (not extras) but since we are the homeowners, we can get the food too. It has ice cream, chips, fruit, candy, etc. The truck that makes the meals has a full kitchen inside with refrigerators and stoves! Cool huh?
So for filming: They started filming last Wednesday night (July 21) at night and they continued on Thursday night and Friday night. I stayed up all the nights and went to bed at 5AM each time. Only Wednesday I slept a little in the middle when nothing was going on.
On Wed. night, my cousin Caroline and her mom (my aunt) came over to spend the night and watch the filming. They filmed some extras going into the barn for a party, some scenes with Courtney Cox hiding in her car about to go in disguise into the party, and some running scenes in the basement of the barn. The mosquitos were really bad and I got a zillion bites.
On Thursday night, they filmed some scenes where the extras are dancing and whatnot at the party in the main floor of the barn. Then they filmed a scene where Courtney goes into the barn disguised as ghostface like the other kids. She plants a few cameras. They she goes into the loft and is attacked by the real ghostface. They did a few of the shots different ways to experiment which one they liked best.
On Friday night my best friend Evelyn came, and David Arquette came and did some scenes where he runs into the barn and tries to save Courtney who had just been stabbed. Oh yeah! I met Courtney's stunt double who fell off the loft into some hay for one scene and did some fighting scenes for another. I also met the stunt guy who plays the ghostface killer. He is a very nice person...which makes the movies a bit less scary.
So that's the news for now! I'm sure there's more from last week I'm forgetting, but I will add later if I remember. I promise I will keep posted on the other filming nights! An all around cool time!
Over and out!
