Research and Planning: Problems with photographs

I took pictures last night for my film poster as the characters were dressed up, but because it was dark we had to put the flash on, as we put the flash on the pictures lighting wasn't very good. Therefore I am going to re take the pictures in the lights on Wednesday. 

Research and Planning: Photographs of filming.

Research and Planning: Plan for the week

This week we are filming so before filming I need to do the following:

  • Make scarecrows face 
  • Make up test 
  • Make sure everyone knows location 
  • Take photographs of cast for poster and magazine

Research and Planning: Making the costume


This is the final girls outfit, I did it like this so that it looked casual enough to be a camper.  To make this outfit all I used was fake blood, once we was at the setting, we rubbed mud on to it too.

Research and Planning: Production label 1

Final logo!
 
First draft

Research and Planning: weather forecast

This is the weather for Thursday 12th, even though it might be raining this might help with the pathetic fallacy to set the scene.

Research and Planning: Filming date!

Today me and Keisha have decided to set a date for filming, we have decided to film Thursday 12th. We have decided to go down to the location at dinner time and set everything up, then once the rest of the cast have finished college Adam is going to drive them to the location.  This will mean they will arrive at the location around 3:00pm.  Hopefully it will be dark enough to start filming, if not we can always start rehearsals and wait until it starts to get dark.

Research and Planning: Magazine draft 2

 
After getting audience feedback, I decided to make my 'Halloween Horror Edition' a few font sizes bigger.  I also changed the font of the 'Camping... Booze ect' to  'Trijan pro' to make it look sharper.  I also got told there was too much white space so I added on a shape too cover up some of the white space.

Research and Planning: skin test

 
This is the skin test on Emily to make sure she is not  allergic to the fake blood.

Research and Planning: News reporter 1

 

This is two takes of Mike's news read for in our trailer. After discussing with Keisha, we have decided to use the second take, as Mike is talking a bit faster which makes it more realistic.  Now we have decided this Keisha can now edit it.
