Filming - Two

Today I finished the rest of my filming. I used the bleak looking weather outside to my advantage to make the streets seem eerie and creepy. I had my actors wear the same clothes as the first time round do that I would have no continuity issues.

I decided to add in a new location, a nearby park. I thought that it would a good opportunity to add in some different sounds such as the squeaking and creaking of the swing set.

I then decided to go with an older and calmer dog for the shot in which the second girl goes missing. I was having trouble keeping the other dog from getting too excited around the children and the cameras.

Filming - One/Bloopers

Below I have compiled a video of shots I do not like or I am unable to use for various reasons, I have explained these reasons within the video.

Text Cards

For my text cards, I used the option on iMovie for Titles. I wanted it to seem eerie and there was an option for text that appeared in a kind of ghostly way. I thought this was a good fit as it helped with the suspense of the trailer.

A2 Target Grade - A

To achieve my target my research, planning and evaluation must be detailed, effectively communicated and presented digitally, using a wide variety of formats. I need detailed
research into similar products and target audience and to show the process of planning by including excellent work on shotlists, drafts, storyboards, scripts, locations and props. I need to show full evidence of the research and planning informing the construction process. My evaluation must reflect my excellent understanding of forms and conventions, an understanding of the use of new media throughout the stages of production, the way my ancillary and primary tasks combine effectively. There will be an excellent understanding of the significance of audience feedback. My production work, across the formats, will demonstrates excellent creativity and imagination as I seek to make them as convincing as possible and it will also reflect my mastery in technical skills such as controlled use of the camera, attention to framing, variety of shot sizes, close attention to mise-en-scène, appropriate transitions and use of sound.
