Research and Planning: 2nd draft scan

This is the location and angle of my picture, as you can see its a close up of his face and he is holding a camera, ans sophie will be viewed in the camera lens looking scared.

I also need to take two other pictures to create another story at the bottom of my magazine.

Research and Planning: 2nd draft of film magazine

This is the second draft of my film magazine, as you can see I have changed the font and the colors of my text, I have also changed the location of my film title and sub stories, and I have made a banner at the top and bottom of the page. I have used boxes with text in and lines to separate the different stories. I have changed the location of my barcode and date/price.

I now need my picture and a background for my magazine and two small pictures for another story to complete it.

feedback would be appreciated :) thanks

Research and Planning: Audiance feedback

In class each group shew a rough cut of their Teaser Trailer to the class in order to get feedback on what they have done and to improve their work. Here is the feedback we got:
-Too many scenes showing walking
-Good plot
-Needs more action
-Show him more
-Too lengthy

As a result of our feedback, we have cut bits out and edited lots to make it shorter, we still have two more scenes to film outside college and some inside to add in, then we can put in our subtitles and our music.

Research and Planning: The strangers

The Strangers teaser trailer shows the different qualities of a house, before the scenes from the actual film are shown. I think this looks quite effective because it shows something different other than the film but it still relates to the films storyline and this way the audiance will get more of a feel for the film.

In our teaser trailer 'obsession' we are going to do a similar thing with ours. We are going to film three break up scenes before the scenes from the actual film takes place, to give the audience more of an idea on what our ideas are.

Planning and Research: Actor release form

Research and Planning: SLR cameras

Today we took pictures in and around college using first SLR cameras and then digital cameras to compare the quality. We found that the SLR cameras had much better quality than digital ones have when they take pictures.

Digital cameras: blurry shots, red eye, out of focus, poor quality.
SLR cameras: no red eye, in focus, better quality and the pictures aren't blurred and you can clearly see more detail in the shots.

When taking our pictures for our magazine and film poster we will use the SLR cameras to take a better quality pictures.

Research and Planning: Film Magazine

This is my first draft production of my film magazine, i first choose the font I wanted to use on Da Font, then I wrote my film name and used a different simple font for my 2. I choose this because it highlights that its a film magazine because iv used the same connotations as what film magazines include. Then I thought of a slugline for my Magazine to locate under my title to hook the reader in and to match ot to actual film magazines, I modeled my magazine of 'Total Film' and used some of their ideas in my own work. I then finally included some sub stories like would be found on a magazine.

Next I am going to take my pictures and add the final touches and put my picture on!

Research and planning: Film poster title

This is the style of my poster title it is a typewriter style so it looks as if hes wrote it and it looks more like a stalker style and people will be able to know more about the film form the style of the title. The tag line is quick and eye catching and also says a little more about the film.

Research and Planning: Christmas holidays

Over the two week course myself and jessica took a visit to hyde train station to film more, we filmed sophie walking under the bridge and up the stairs looking over her shoulder as id she is being followed. We faced problems such as people passing by and the train coming in so on a few occasions we had to wait whilst they had gone to continue filming.

We also filmed sophie whilst a train was passing for the end scene in our teaser trailer and once again we had to wait for people to pass by, it was also a little tricky to set the camera and to hold it steady whilst filming her. We still need to film the break up scenes and some more outside college, which we have been unable to do because of the snow.
