Tests Shot

For our test shots we experimented with different filming techniques to create a fast moving and busy effect to the shots. With this particular shot we used a slowly panning out mid-shot using a tripod to film our subject, with many other people moving around her while she stands still. We feel it was successful and gave the effect we wanted to create.

We also experimented with these shots but found they didn't work as well at the previous ones we filmed. As they were more bland and didn't run as smoothly. But of the two in this video we felt the second clip was more successful than the first.

Casting Of Finlay McGow

We decided to cast Finlay McGow because he best fit the character of Robert our main character. he has a very scruffy and very manly which is perfect for the character Robert. he is very enthusiastic about the role and seems to be very reliable. 

Production Compnay Logo Design Mock up

I decided to start to explore the idea of our production company, starting with our logo. I wanted to represent a professional feel with the logo, using calm colours and a formal bold font. I created this with Adobe Illustrator I created a 3D effect to the shapes and letters using the 3D effect tools.

Casting For Trailer

For our main role we started a casting process, taking images of possible candidates and analysing them firstly with appearance. All of the Candidates fit the general profile of our main character, young adult and male. But they all differ considerably with looks so we need to decide what features we want, to represent the identity/image of the main role.

Music Research

 

Our target audience prefer POP music,
so we are looking for music that would best suite our trailer and also interest our target audiences preferences.

we also will be playing around with garage-band
and testing the voice over. so that we have a
combination of dialogue and a sound track.

Student Media Conference

On the 4th November 2011, some year 12's and year 13s got the chance to go to a conference that explored in detail the exam from different exam boards and the ways in which students can improve their production coursework. Majority of the conference was spent on the production coursework, we looked at different advanced portfolio's that were marked badly and some that were given a good mark. Students thought that this conference was worth it, and thought that it was helpful when Pete Fraser gave us tips to improve our advanced portfolio.

Pete Fraser gave us 9 Key words that we should go in detail in our advanced portfolio, this included:
