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 filmingFilm 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

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 

SFX front cover analysis

This is one of the front covers from SFX magazine. SFX is a British magazine, which covers topics in the genres of popular science fictions, fantasy and horror, in different types of medias such as films, video games, comics and literature. The magazine was founded in 1995 and gets published every 4 weeks for Future PLC. The genre of the magazine can be told immediately by the 3D, silver masthead in bold. This futuristic tone has also been accompanied by a visionary dominant central image. The cover lines mention films; 'Dawn of the Apes' as well as tv shows such as 'Walking Dead', 'Super Natural' and 'Doctor Who'. All of these productions fit in with the Sci-fi genre, which SFX promotes. 

Poster analysis 1

The first film poster I am going to be analysing is La La Land as has been classified as the musical genre.  The poster conventions I found for this film were smaller images, reviews, reference to awards, film title, name of stars and star ratings. I suspect the rest of the posters I analyse to include the same conventions, despite the differing genres.
