I have created a Facebook page promoting The Playhouse film, I will now regularly post on it to attract and engage potential audiences and consumers. I have begun by offering a link to our Twitter site too, by having this convergence it should appeal to a wider scale of people. Another thing i did straight away was add some pictures of the cast members and locations used. This was done to provide a interest for viewers to look at and comment on and share as its exclusive snippets they won't have seen anywhere else- this should gain more publicity for the upcoming movie and get people talking about it. To create a further interest to the page i will invite friends, as it says in the top left corner and kindly ask people to share it and comment, so i can spread the word and get a real buzz of excitement for the trailer.

2nd Day of filming!

Nicoles flowing top worked great to help enhance the feel of freedom, I aim to speed up some of these clips when i start editing them too make them look like she is running and spinning faster and build the feeling of confusion and dizziness. I was glad in this filming session to have the risk assessment because we encountered 2 cars; which we probably wouldn't have expected had it not been considered before hand. I will be putting these clips onto Adobe Premire to experiemnt with speeding up and slowing down the clips, I think i can make an effect montage out of them.

Progress Log

Having reviewed and being happy with my filming footage from the weekend, I will begin to crop and trim my video clips in order to put them into iMovie and Adobe premier; the programmes i will be using to produce and edit my trailer. 

There is a chance i will need to record some extra footage, this is because i would like to get some more close ups of the house, to set the mise-en-scene as i feel its important for the purpose of establishing the narrative and also I would like to define an equilibrium  at the beginning of my trailer. 

I am undecided whether this should be based on Adams equilibrium, settling into the new town and starting a 'normal' life or whether to do it from the perspective of Nicole and Sams happy relationship. I think i might prefer to do it based on Adam so its not as typical as the other 'lovey' relationships films tend to present in there equilibriums. 

I have also had an idea to do a Audio commentary rather than a graphic commentary, this is because i had the idea to add in another character who will be a narrator. It will be from the point of view of a Doctor, someone who has been monitoring Adam from a young age and knows everything about his life up till now. This is more creepy as i feel it connects his past story to his present life. This means i would sway more to setting Adams equilibrium because as the Doctor introduces to the audience, things from his past can be coming up; birth certificate, baby pictures, photo albums etc. I will be mocking up a script for this to see if i feel its something that would work with my trailer. 

Despite having not strictly followed my script plan and scenes, I feel I'm happy with the outcome and it was well considered and thought out during filming. I felt by improvising more and not being set the vivid ideas in my head, my actors came across more genuine and therefore more realistic and believable to an audience. It also meant I came across other things i preferred over my original ideas, overall adding to my narrative and miss en scene. 

Planning Consideration, what to include and where

Having done the majority of my filming for my trailer, I have decided to give myself a brief plan as to how I want my trailer to flow so i know where to start and what to include when producing it: 

A consideration for the order of my film clips...

1st day of filming!

The first day of filming is complete, it went successfully and i got the main scenes of my trailer filmed so feel like I have made good progress. Having reviewed footage and happy with the outcome, I'm going to upload them to my Mac so i can start to trim and crop the videos. I am particularly happy with the mise-en-scene which is sets the atmosphere of my trailer, i feel the building was an effective place to film and the harsh lighting from the torch was as dramatic and intense as i had hoped. 

Final Stage of Planning

FINAL DRAFT OF SCRIPT:

Shot Type Checklist:

I have printed this out to use each time I film because i know it will remind me to use a variety of shots, angles and camera movements. This sheet is very useful as it shows an example with the name of the shot type. Some ones I will definitely be using are; Birds eye, High angle, Close ups, Establishing shots, Pans and Mediums shots. I think the wider the variety of shot types i can get, the more enticing i can make my trailer through editing.
