Call sheet

This shows the schedules of days of filming. I have included print screens of the call sheet handed on each day of filming. Although I am not including a call sheet for photo-shoots. Because a lot of the locations are the same or close I planned to do all the filming In a close span of time.

Trailer shooting schedule

Shooting schedule from katieniz

Shooting schedule magazine + poster

For the trailer i am having a separate schedule as there is a larger cast and it is filming. For the magazine and the poster i will do a couple photo shoots and i will try and get the photos for both done in these. To achieve this i will try and find a central location which has a good amount of settings to try so both are different plus , the two actresses can access and can get changed in so costume can be different.

Photoshoot- magazine and posters
Tester photoshoot 12th July 2017
At a moment me and the people where free we went into the schools media room and did some practice shots. This was so i could grasp and idea of what i want it to show and symbolise and what the capabilities where. Although there is a separate blog post here is some snaps from the shoot.

I have these ideas however from this i have been able to relate it to the flat plan , decide on more images and way and how to make both different. 

I like the style of the second image for the poster as in a way it matches the triangle lay out which is common with many posters. 

Photoshoot 1 : 29th September 2017

• Magazine and poster photography linked to practice shoot which was done on the 12 of July. 
• Try different locations ( so they can be used or retaken at) 
• Green screen ( bring props to have effect) 
• Class room ( has relevance as the cast is teenagers)
• grass ( as it has a link to summer) 
• Walls ( as a simple yet detailed background ) 
• Note : also good as there are props that can be used and things available like the art room and media suit  

Photoshoot 2: 13th October 2017 

• Any retakes that must be done or change of location ( these change of location shoots may be done during filming as the location will be the same as it is in the film) 
• Minor changes can be made from looking and using the first images. 
• Add or minus characters in the shoots 
• change of weather or conditions 

Photoshoot 3: 20th October 2017 

• The last photos or changes ( however there is a chance of retaking when filming ) 
• Have a teacher or guider to help to make sure we achieve the same 
• Try not to change locations. 
• Use this to make sure there is material for both the magazine and the poster , with outfit , props and location changes to make sure that it is unique however it is still consistent through the product. 

filming stills

Over the course of filming i have taken photos, this is so i can document what the scenes are meant to represent. And discus there purpose and what part of the trailer they are from. Below is some shots from the filming i did ( day 2 and 3 ).

                                                

 This image shows a funeral program this is a key part of the trailer/ film. Death is a realistic part of life which everyone goes through from loved ones to them selves. Many drama films do link to topics such as this. It stems emotion and adds to the plot of the character. Showing this in the trailer is an indication of loss to the audience. It doesn't tell to much about the death but that someone has been lost which is the reason for the behaviour of the main character.

 The flowers can be used to represent death as its what people lay on graves, but also it can represent love as it is a gift people give to loved ones , plus bright colours to represent life and the characters personality

This image if from filming. It is a picture of the secondary character on the phone. She is trying to contact the main character. Her speech and body langue is meant to expresses her displeasure and frustration with her friend. This is why a close up shot is used. The close up gives information but also holds some mystery.

The image shows a sink. This is used to resemble the morning routine and daily life on the main character. Although bad things happen life must go on. She carries on with the normal stuff. Plus in this part we see medication which she doesn't take , resembling a problem. This is going to run behind the narration

This links to the above clip , this is the opening and establishing part of a normal routine. However the clips expresses it not going how it would do for someone else this shows us that she is changing or something has changed her. Instead of eating breakfast she plays with it storming off. She washes her hands and doesn't take her medication


This is after the getting ready and school part ( which is yet to be filmed ). And she goes home and doesn't do anything and lays in bed, ignoring her friends cool. Although you don't know the character you can tell from her passive aggressiveness and actions that something isn't right. Making the viewers begin to ask questions about the character. What happened ? why isn't she coping ? how is it going to get resolved? meaning people want to find out more and will finish the trailer and even watch the movie.

Filming day 3

On filming day three I had the secondary character in , i have to find a way to establish the character in the beginning of the trailer so we can know that they have an importance in the trailer. In this filming out fit and expressing personality was key. As of conflicting time tables and other , we could only do filming in small chunks. The summer filming which was scheduled for every Friday didn't seem to go to plan  and does match the shooting schedule which is posted .


On this day we got some shots of the secondary character and this works well. Below are some shots from the day of filming.


***

I would have liked to have got more done however the uncertainty of the weather and the shooting times meant limited bits could be done in the future I plan on rounding them actors at the same time to have a longer bit of filming. At the current moment planning of how to film at specific locations is under way and how everyone will make the schedule. However production should still be on track.

Below is the script form the scene we recorded. This was the original idea however it was changed slightly on the day. 

magazine institutional research

I have done institutional research for the trailers but I am also going to research into magazines and there production. Magazines need distributors as well as films. Magazine distribuotrs have a simailr job but with  Differeent kind of media.

There are many benefits of magazine distributors, they can provide money for advertisement , radio and tv deals with there companys conections as well as websites. Sucessful distributors can build up good reputations which means people will link the quailty of the magzine with the success of the distributor.

An example would be bauer media ; the company has many brands ranging from cars to music , they also have enteratinemnt including empire which is a very popular enteratinemnt and movie magazine. This means the company would know about effective ways of making an enterianment magazine. This is the kind of magazine that i would want for the article about the film. However as its a very successful and professinal magazine it may not want to.

Magazine distribtion is a large part as this is how it reaches the auidence for this to be efficent and successful the magazine which is promoting the film would need to be ditrbuted well. This could be a major part of how succesful the magazine could be.

 Frontline is a magazine sales and distribution company, which has links to Bauer media , immediate media company , H Bauer and Haymarket. All of these are very good company's which work well together . These company's would help with advertisement and be effective. This would help the promotion of the film.

Skill development

For this work I will be having to film a film trailer , however I don't have much personal experience with camera work. Because of this I have looked deeply into cinematography and editing and did some practice filming to develop my skill.

I made a short clip, in the short clip we a girl in a room and then a man enters they have a brief conversation. I have done this so that I can practice using and setting up a camera and get used to editing software I will do this for premier pro and after effects.

I Had my friend Maria and James be in it but James also helped me with the camera work and giving me advice on what to do , for the clip I used a camera and a tripod to try and get my shots.

The small clip has some of the techniques I'm trying to learn and execute properly. Like shot reverse shots , eye line matches , panning and close up. I practiced trying to film these all though they are not in the clip. I also focused on keeping continuity and using the 180 degree rule

Bellow is the clip I made together. I made a simple name using the title part and used basic transactions between clips. I snipped them to gain what I wanted to and didn't change the sound. I researched how to make clips longer from the first opening shot of a clock so we see it for a longer period of time . This was less of practice using the software as it was more my camera skill which I will work on over the upcoming weeks to get better at.
