LO3 - Rushes from 17/3/15


1.)Using because it works well with the feel of the trailer

2.) Not using because hannah starts laughing

3.)Using the first part of the video because I think that it will work well in the trailer.

4.)Using because I think that parts of this scene would work if they were edited into the faster part of the trailer.

5.)Using because the way that he is silhouetted would work well as a clip that only lasts a few seconds (6 seconds - 8 seconds)

6.)Not using because you cannot tell what is happening.

7.)Not using because barely anything happens in it

8.)Using because it works well in the fast edited part of the trailer.

9.)Not using because it's the same as clip 8.

10.)Not using because it's a test version of clip 8

11.)Not using it goes on for too long and doesn't look convincing

12.)Not using/ re filming when the actor doesn't turn around

13.)Not using because there is no reason for it to be in the trailer

LO1-Desolation Treatment


TREATMENT
DESOLATION

THE BRIEF -
We have been asked to make a film trailer in the style of warp films, we will not have a budget and have to get the resources and write it all ourselves.

TARGET AUDIENCE -
The target audience would be rated a 15+ according to the BBFC because of the jump scares and violence intended in the film trailer with dangerous props being used by a character as weapons in order to try and get rid of characters in the film.



SEGMENT SYNOPSIS AND HOW IT RELATES TO THE BRIEF

There is an outbreak of a disease called MOSC, which has spread, around the country, There are few survivors who have stumbled upon an abandoned house where they’re trying to keep away from people with the disease and away from populated places. Unknowingly a scary character with a mask stumbles upon the house and tries to kill the survivors inside by trying to get rid of them one by one. We see the characters having to leave the house in order to run through the woods and get away from the murderer with an axe in order to survive.

KEY MILESTONES

1. Planning - (Narrative, permissions, treatment,  location, risk assessment, role deciding, documentation.) = 27th October pre-production planning
2. Filming - (Party scene, horror scenes, dream scenes, arranging of cast/lighting.) 10TH November – 12th December: Filming
3. Editing - ( SFX etc) 19th December on wards: Editing
30th March – Final submission
Launch date 13th April


EQUIPMENT

We will be using a camera and tripod for the majority of our filming.
We will need custom lighting as we will be filming in the dark and it will be hard to see unless we have a good, bright light.

PROPS AND MODELS
Clown like mask with makeup running down the characters face with an axe
A crowbar is also used as a prop
HEALTH AND SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS.
For each location that we film in as part of this production we will complete a recce form and a risk assessment.
When we are out filming we will be considering the following -

The emergency contact number for when we are out filming will be for the college (0114 260 3970)

The safety of the equipment will be taken in to consideration and in order to avoid overheating we will be turning them off periodically to ensure safety.

The cast will not be required to do anything dangerous, however first-aid will be easily accessible.

No equipment will be left out in the open, the environment for filming will be secure to avoid injury.




LEGAL AND ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS.
The narrative of the trailer contains both psychological horror and jump scares and as a result it presents the categories of Violence and Threat and as a result will be rated by the BBFC as a 15.
It is important to follow the BBFC regulations as they are a way for all films to be judged fairly and universally so that the intended audience are aware of what will be included. The way that we have introduced threat into this trailer is through the use of suspense and music, there is no representation of sexual or sadistic threat in order to adhere to the guidelines.
When we have violence shown in the trailer it is quickly moved on and has no focus on any gore or blood.
The trailer would have to be on post-watershed, this is because there will be violence and also hints at sexual content and use of alcohol. It will be a 15+ rating for this film trailer. Reference - http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/broadcasting/broadcast-codes/broadcast-code/protecting-under-18s/
We will not be using any copyrighted music and instead we will be using free music from creative commons and Incompetech.
We will be getting permission for every actor and location used throughout the entire filming period, this falls unded the Data protection law of 1998.





LO1- You're Next Treatment (Contingency treatment)


TREATMENT
You’re Next

THE BRIEF -
We have been asked to make a film trailer in the style of warp films, we will not have a budget and have to get the resources and write it all ourselves.

TARGET AUDIENCE -
The target audience is 15+, this is because it will have disturbing themes. 



SEGMENT SYNOPSIS AND HOW IT RELATES TO THE BRIEF

Main character 'Neil' is hosting a house party, he goes upstairs with a female acquaintance and as they are alone in the room the music cuts out and there is a knock on the window, the window is placed 3 stories up in the house. Curious Neil slowly opens the curtain to see a clown across the road under a single street lamp on the road. He blinks and the words 'You're next' is written on the road next to the clown, he calls the girl over and as she approaches the window the camera points back and everyone has vanished from beneath the light. He backs away from the window  and we start an ellipsis with a dream sequence showing the clown visiting Neil in his dreams, keep getting closer and closer making the pace of the trailer more and more rapid. The clown rings the doorbell in the dream, Neil wakes up and the doorbell is ringing again. The door is opened and the clown jumps at the camera and it goes to black with the title.

LO2-Contingency

Upon evaluation we have decided that we will be altering our trailers storyline. The storyline instead will be a post-apocalyptic situation where a bunch of refugees are stuck inside a house and the antagonist breaks in to the house and starts harassing the survivors.
The new trailer will feature a lot of voice overs to hint at the storyline with clips jumping from calm to action to show what will be happening.

Lesson Review

In today's lesson I have uploaded and evaluated all the clips that were filmed on the 4th of February 2015. we still need to go and film the scenes we need. This achieves LO4.

LO3: Rushes from 4/2/15



1.) We will be using this clip because it gives the idea that the character is being chased by the antagonist.
2.)I don't think we will be using this clip because you can see his neck under the mask
3.)I think we will be using this clip because all you can really see is the mask and it looks creepy and could be used after a white flash.
4.)I don't think we will be using this clip because his face is out of focus.
5.)We are not using this clip because it is irrelevant to the rest of the trailer
6.)we are also not using this clip because it is not relevant to the rest of the trailer.
