story board.

this is our story board that we have created. we did this to show a clear understanding on what we want to be filmed on our trailer. this gives us a clear view on the types of shots we need. when the music needs to come in, and the kind of filming effects we need. 

production schedule

This is our group production schedule. this shows us what days we will be filming and where. it also tells us as a group what type of equipment we will need and the suitable clothes we will need to wear. The schedule also shows what time we need to be meeting to film. it shows on the table different times, this allows us to film at night and day time to get a variety of shots with different lighting. Times are very important when it comes to filming because if we were to film at night time then we will need artificial lighting. This schedule gets us prepared and organised so we know what we are filming on what days. As you can see we have planned to do our filming mostly in January, this then gives us time to edit before the deadline and also allows us to re- film anything that goes wrong or doesn't work or fit in our trailer and still giving us time to edit and complete our trailer.

Narrative of our story.

For the narrative of our flim we came up with alot of diffferent ideas. as we was going through the the ideas and deciding what one would we like to choose, we had to think about a range of different factors before we put together trailer ideas for example we had to think about what are target audience would prefer watching, what ideas would challenge us as a group and what idea best fitted our genre. After thinking of a range of ideas we put them all together like you see in the blog before and started to go through them talking about which ones we liked the best and how we would produce that idea when we came to filming, in the end the idea that we went with for our trailer is:

A group of troubled teenagers witness an event that has potentially affected the way they behave from now, an incident so traumatic that the teenagers cannot shake off the feeling of permanent despair. In order to clear their minds and conscious the teens decide a camping trip is in order in the local wood that is far away from the news in the local town. The woods seem different, quieter and almost serene and dissimilar from what the group had expected as if it was already ready for them. This is the last year the groups are going to be together before they go off to university and decide to film their entire trip to create a lasting memory that they can share between them after the trip is done. The group’s arrival takes a sudden turn when one of their friends goes missing, his decision to follow another figure into the deeper woods will now determine the future of his other friends. The teens are aware that if they separate they will cover more ground and decide to partner up for protection and each will now face challenges that could make them or break them. The incident that they had decided to ignore has now consequently caught up with them and will soon destroy them in way that they believed could not be possible. Their families and friends will now be challenged and their decision to go to the woods now means they cannot warn their family or protect them either. The challenges that they will go through will determine if the families are safe or gone.

The pattern of challenges makes the friend realize that someone close to them has set them up, someone close to home. Their deepest and darkest fears are coming for them just as they thought things cannot go worse.
