Starting to film

While David was filming the part of the film where Tom and Amy are walking down the coridoor i took the time out to take some shots of this, As I'm not in this part of the film. We used the Dolly to help make our filming look less shakey and more consistant.

Costume sheet, Prop sheet and Location shots

This lesson i made a prop sheet up showing photos of the items that are going to be used in our film most, And some will play very key parts in our film so it was tough deciding on which props to use. These are the ones we chose.

A costume sheet was also made showing what each character will be wearing in the film. This was made after we decided what outfits would look best from the clothes we have and could get hold of, And here it is.

After a few discutions we all decided as a group we would film mainly in the classroom and in the corridor. Me and amy then took all the location shots of both of these places to get a feel of what it will look like, I took all different types of shot at different angles so you can really get a feel for it.

This was a fun lesson and i enjoy taking photos of places we are planning to film etc, then editing them so they are nicely layed out on photoshop and will continue to use this skill.

For this task we had to think about the target audience for our film and the kind of products they like, places they like to eat, the websites they visit and the programs they watch. All this research is to think were we should advertise for our film ideally in the places our target audience will go, in between the programs they watch and the web sites they visit. Overall this was a enjoyable task were i learnt tips for advertising which i will then use when we do simular tasks like this or in real life situations.

This shows all of this but in a spider diagram.

Key frame grid section.

The task we each drew different key frames of what each shot would look like in out 'Trapped ' movie they are rough steches but still tell the story and shows the characters which will be in it.

We all took part in a online quiz on www.findyourtribe.co.uk to find out what 'youth tribe' you are part of, At the end of my quiz it said i was a 'Trendie' i partly agree with this outcome but at the same point don't. Im not really much of a fan of Lily allen as it states however i do enjoy shopping in Topman which it also said. All in all i don't think its totaly correct but it could of been worse are parts of it are right.

'Trapped' moodboard

Our task was to create a mood board on photoshop using images that are going to relate to our short movie we are making soon. As ours is mainly going to be based in a school i choose a pictures of  outside the school, Dark dingy looking classrooms,The locks that will move, school girls and schoolboys. But also a picture of what i think our monster/demon will be based on. I am pleased with how my mood board came out.

'Trapped' Initial planning

 

Our task was to think of our own ideas to base a short 3-5 minute film using 'Trapped' as the tittle in any any genre. BEGINNING: My initial idea was to have a young ish girl (amy) taking a stroll with here boyfriend (tom) but then suddenly remembers she's forgot something she needs from her house. MIDDLE: she then goes home to find a empty house runs up to her room to find what she forgot but the then the door  suddenly shuts behind her and locks start to turn etc. She then starts to act worried and wonder what's going on. END: The camera slowly turns to the scared girl (amy) and you see a strange scary looking monster (jake) behind her and she is non the wiser. Then the end credits will run.

These are my initial ideas written out.

Me, David and Amy then put all our ideas together and discussed them to come up with the perfect idea for our short movie. Our movie was mainly based on my ideas, But instead of the girl going for a random stroll we changed this to a girl with her boyfriend after class and she then relises she's left her phone behind in the classroom. As she walking to the class room there will be strange things happening behind her but she will be non the wiser (That is another change), multiple shadows behind her etc. Once she's in the class strange things then start happening as i planned locks start to turn, draws start to move in and out and the room gets darker. The girl then wonders what's going on scared and all shaken up banging on the door. Then to finish the camera slowly turns on the girl who seems to of given up with a Spirit ghost figure behind her starring into the camera (not a monster) and she doesent have a clue, then the film suddenly ends. The credits roll. This is what we all agreed on in group 3.



These is our group storyboard/ideas written out.
