Planning and Research: Micro Element

During the production of our teaser trailer I will be focusing first and foremostly on editing as that is the primary micro element I am being marked on but due to the size of our group we shall all be working together on sound to even out the workload. Aswell as sound we shall also be working together on all other micro elements such as:

• Setting
• Props
• Costumes
• Lighting
• Composition
• Colour
  

Planning & Research - Editing Ideas

When listening to music in my spare time I came across the music video for a song called "Gaia Bleeds" by a band named "Set Your Goals" and I was inspired by the editing in the video and had the idea that using a similar editing style to the one seen in the video could be highly beneficial to our trailer.

Planning and Research: Unused footage

Here is some footage that we shot and intended to use but decided against due to the poor camera quality and bad lighting.

Planning & Research - Soundtrack Ideas

Due to the dramatic factor in our trailer I was hoping to create a eerie but yet tense vibe with the music in the trailer, something similar to the introduction in the song below but with a more intense build up.

Planning & Research - Filming Update

Over the last week our group finished up on filming the footage for our teaser trailer and personally I am very happy about the way all of the shots and quality came out, I believe that this footage will contribute well to making a very high quality trailer and shall make the editing alot easier due to less need for colour correction and image sharpening.

Planning & Research - Weather

Here is a screen-grab of the weather forecast for the next 5 days, as you can see the the temperature's are very low and this week in our area we have had heavy snowfall, due to these weather complications we have been unable to film test shots as our locations would be unsafe to be used.

Planning & Research - Film Poster First Draft

Here is the first hand-drawn draft of my film poster, I have taken aspects and conventions that I felt worked well in the examples in my earlier posts and applied them to my poster in an attempt to make my film poster conventional aswell as unique. As you can see I have placed my masthead towards the bottom of the poster and all other aspects such as my main image in the expected positions to keep it conventional and to allow my previous research to feed into it.

Planning & Research - Actor Release Forms

Here are the actor release form's for the actor's Dan Malone & Harry Burgess allowing them to star in our teaser trailer.
