Test Footage

We were instructed to go around the college and get some test shots to try them out with the new equiptment we had been let to use. we  to the stage area and chose the rolling tripod and wide angle lense. the reason we chose the hall is because it was a wide, open space with a smooth survace to roll the tripod over.

Prop Sheet

This was one of my jobs as a task. I used google to find images of what looked closest to the props we had to use and made a moodboard type of sheet full of these images with tags to say what they are.

COSTUME SHEET

This was one of my tasks to do so I used different pictures of tops and jeans to create a person like image. we chose for brad and jackson to be dressed the same, in a red hoodie and black jeans, and for tom to be dressed in black jeams and a blue check shirt.

Location sheets

with the location sheets we just took a load of still photos of the locations we had chosen, then used photoshop to make a moodboard of the location and gave all three a title. we chose to use behind the stage for our first location because it has a lot of things to use, like lights and steps and curtains to create a dark mood when filming. The second location is the green room for the torture scene because we can use SFX to make it more dramatic. The last location was the woods which we might use but we have it down as a reserve location for the moment because the woods can be made to look creepy and missleading.

Open title planning

In this Session the group started working on a planning for our open title sequence at the start of our film, personally I quite like our title planning because it suits with the whole idea of our film. We try'd out a lot of different titles seeing what our options were and we googled images for ideas and to try and make something unique and that nobody else had done. The planning was originally made paper with pencil and color pens but will be finished in and edited in Photo Shop. This session was a lot of fun because i got to see what the groups ideas are in picture's instead of words, also i found it enjoyable because it had a good out come.

Storyboards

In our lesson we were instructed to split our 4 man group into two's the Editor and Production designer had to work together to come up with and make a Title and Credit's for the short film. Whilst in the mean time the Director and Fi;lm operator worked with the Story board to draw out the scene's and create idea's for the shots and how we were going to film themIn our lesson we were instructed to split our 4 man group into two's the Editor and Production designer had to work together to come up with and make a Title and Credit's for the short film.

"TRAPPED" target audience member

For this task I chose a BMXer for my target audience member. I chose some of the things a BMX rider would be into and some of their general interests. BMXers always use iTunes to hook up their favorite songs onto their iPod. Most BMXers like cars and like fastcar magazine. Every BMXer knows the film "How High" (the ones i know anyway) and like funny films that can be quoted a lot. All BMXers associate with the same brands because they all use the top BMX brands. Cameras and filming/photography is extreemly populay in BMX so i chose canon as my camera logo. I chose to put burger king in there because everyone eats fast food...

"trapped

Find your tribe

The "Find your tribe" task was to go onto www.findyourtribe.co.uk and answer a multiple choice survey. The questions were things to do about you and what you do in your spare time. When I finished my survey I got "Boy Racer" as my tribe. I didn't really agree to this but its what the un accurate survey told me.... at least I didn't get "Hipster"....

Trapped initial planning

In this session we watched a short film called "Deserts" by Jeff Stark. The story line of this short film is a man (Ewen Mcgregor) walking on a isolated beach and sees a chocolate desert laying on the floor. He assumes it belongs to no one and picks it up, takes a bite and a fish hook shoots out of the ocean and hooks his mouth and drags his struggling body into the sea. We looked at this short film because we have to make something similar to it. We had to have an idea that was simple and that hasn't been overplayed by other film makers. To get our idea we decided to get an A4 piece of paper each and write down our thought on the  short film idea. After we had all finished writing down our ideas we debated on what was good and what was not, then we mixed and matched the ideas until we had our final idea. Our idea goes somewhere along the lines of a man being captured for torture and not realising who the potental killer is... 

Moodboard "trapped"

For this moodboard I cehose a few images that represented what we were trying to create. I used al lot of images of alleys and men with weapons in balaclavas ect.... Our short film will probably change but this is what we are getting at for now.
