Castle
We found out that inside the castle is open so we decided that 3 members of the group should go to the castle. While we were there we took a a lot of pictures of the castle for referencing, we also acted out the fight scene that was already written, while the rest of the group stayed behind and worked on the storyboard for the story line. As we were coming in Inside the castle we took a picture of the entrance of the castle.

The video we create is going to be presented onto the castle wall, Our group need to realize that the video needs to look good while its being projected onto the wall. The wall that our film is going to be projected on is shown underneath.

This is apparently the room that Lady Alina the (white ghost) died in, the rumor has it that she was suffering a  lot, and she asked her priest that she wants to be free from all her problems, and few days later she was found dead  in this room by the priest. 

This is the king's room
