As we learnt from our AS project, we do not want to go back and refilm after we have already finished the majority of our project. Even though we still have our original plot for our trailer, we have still not fully decided on one ending yet. We are going to choose from either. also, from previous expierence, we have also already planned 2 backup actors, one female and male, just in case of furthur problems.
1. The girl is chased by bullies and she falls down the mine and breaks her ankle and is unable to get out
2. Or she decides to hide and becomes trapped
Shooting these will not be a long process, so we have decided to shoot both, as it would be easier when it comes to editing plus it would mean we don’t have to go back, where conformity would be an issue. We have told our actor this and she agrees it would be a good move. We have around 3 hours to film our footage before its get too dark to film. As it is becoming darker, we need to get down there around 3 or 4 and leave at 7pm. We have 2 cars that we are using as transport for our actors, cameras, tripod, food etc.
Different eye-catching shots for our trailer
We have already found the plot of where we plan to place our tent which is inside a circle of 5 trees which looks incredibly scary

At the moment, as you might expect, your blog is not really working as well is it might. There is a lack of detail, both in terms of planning and to a certain extent research. You need to really up the workload in both areas, since otherwise you will be lucky to get a mark beyond L2. Crucially, I need a lot more in terms of how your work links to the research you've done (and for that, I need to see more research, particularly analyses of trailers). You need to deconstruct many more trailers from the genre in which you're working, to really get to grips with what you are producing. You need to consider narrative and how this functions in trailers. What are the codes and conventions?
ReplyDeleteI also need to see a lot more planning. I know you've been working on scripts and storyboards, but I really need to see this on your blog. Otherwise it's impossible to really understand what your trailer will look like. You also need to make sure that you have production documentation - call sheets, schedule etc.
It is concerning that you are due to start shooting very soon, but have not really uploaded the range of stuff you really need to. This is particularly the case considering you are shooting out in the forest.
