potential footage for our film

here is some filming that we have done as part of our scenes for our trailer. we have filmed a wide range of shots in order to get a variety. some of the filming that we have done may be used in our trailer and others might not be useful. we are still in the process of filming but haven't got a lot to film. we chose some of these shots because we thought that it would be suitable for our trailer. as you can see in the last picture we have done a close up of the bite mark, which is on my arm. this scene is about the fact that one of the characters have been bitten but only they can see it, the rest of the group can't. this is to show the audience what they mark looks like.

actors and actress'







here are the people taking part in our trailer.

before filming we had to think about the kinds of people that we wanted in our trailer, we had to think about how our actors would reflect our narrative and also how the audience could also relate to them. for doing this we had to take into consideration the age we needed our actors to be or even look, their personality also has to fit with our genre. the actors that we need to be roughly in the same age group as our target audience. we also want the audience to have a clear understanding on what is happening to the teenagers and also understand the kind of relationship the group has with each other. we also chose to have 1 male and 3 female, this is because in a typical thriller  the male is more dominant and is the leader of the group where as the females are more helpless and weak.





check list for feb

this is our groups checklist. this shows us what we have done and the things that we need as a group still need to do, every so often we update it so therefore the red writing is the things that we have recently done. by doing this it keeps us as a group organised and aware of what we need to get done and how far into the process of making our trailer. 

this also keeps us on top of blogs, by letting us know what needs to be blogged so once we have done it we blog it. this then stops us from having to post loads of blogs at once. 

saving and uploading footage


 our group went filming last week for our trailer, this is part of what we filmed, we then saved it and uploaded it in order to get started on our trailer, we looked through all of the footage to see what we could use and to see if any shots are good enough to go in our trailer. because trailers usually have quick shots then we have loads of filming that we could use even if it is part of a whole scene.

costumes

                                                     costumes 






For this we have decided that the clothes that our actors and actress' are casual and everyday clothes, the reason for this is because our story is about a group of teenagers that have come together to talk about what plans they have for the summer.

for the girls we thought of them wearing jeans, jumpers and coats, this is because they decide to go camping so there for they have to keep warm

the boys will be the same as it will be cold so they have to keep warm. when it comes to filming the scenes in the wooded area, we talked about how the actors need to look like they are prepared for their camping trip. as the woods will be muddy wellie boots will be practical, bags will also look more realistic as they need something to carry their stuff in.

location ideas.



 

this is the location that we are planning on using for our trailer. this fits our genre really well. we chose this location because it gives the audience a mysterious and will make the audience feel uneasy. this location is also good for our trailer because our narrative is about a group of friends that go on a camping trip. we have been to check out this location to see if it is good enough and we as a group were happy with this location and it also feels and looks very mysterious.
