Shooting Schedule

Since having finished my final shot list, I am going to plan where/when the filming is going to be taking place. In order to do this as efficiently as possible, whilst also taking my actors into consideration, I have created a shooting schedule which groups different parts of my shot list together. I have not filmed shots in the same order as my shots will appear in my trailer. This is because I thought about which actors I needed for certain parts and the location/setting it would be taking place in. I have also ensured that I leave five seconds before and after each shot, to help me with editing as well as shooting each shot from a series of different angles and distances. 
First day of filming - Film section of trailer which involve only my female actor of her alone inside the house; evidencing she knows about stalker 

 Downstairs:
-Creepy letter coming through the letter box (film all distances and angles)
-Different distances and angles of her facial expressions
-Film back door being open 

Upstairs:
-Waking up alone scene (change of clothes to pajamas) 
-Walking down the stairs 
-Change of clothes (wearing a towel)
-Bathroom scene 
-Telephone scene 
-Include close up of her answering phone 
-Use a sinister voice over of ex-boyfriend on the phone
-Include dialogue of female actress speaking; make sure she sounds terrified

 Second day of filming: Shots for the montage 

 -Spare change of clothes for couple
-All actors are needed for shooting 
-Ensure stalker is wearing all black and has a hoodie on
-Have other two actors wearing 'normal' casual clothing 
-Include a range of different locations
-Inside the house where girlfriend tells boyfriend about stalker
-Stalker filming couple as they walk down the street
-Stalker filming couple from inside his car
-Stalker down by the side of the house 
-Stalker looking through the letter box; this shot will not be going in the montage 

Third day of filming 

-Use all actors 
-New location
-Film establishing shots in the park 
-Ensure female actor has 2 changes of clothes
-Ensure male actor who plays the boyfriend has 3 changes of clothes 
-Boyfriend proposes to girlfriend

-Couple change clothes
-Few shots of them walking through a different park
-Boyfriend changes clothes 
-Shot of conflict between boyfriend and stalker

Poster analysis introduction

I am going to conduct research and analysis towards the conventions of film posters. I have looked at five different posters from a variety of genres, in order to see if there are similarities within the conventions. This will help my understanding of the depth in film posters, thus benefitting me when I am making my own.  Below are the five posters, each of different genres, which I chose to analyse the conventions of: 1) La La Land  2) Spider Man  3) Insidious 2  4) Hangover 2  5) The Notebook
