Nathan's Mask


Story Board










This is my Story Board for my film trailer. It has all the duration times of each shot so it gives us a rough idea of how long the trailer is going to be. I've used existing film trailers to help me with mine, i've used trailers such as 'Cabin in the Woods' and 'Devils Due' as i think these are the best and most relevant trailers to help with mine. The music in the trailers have helped me with my trailer. Having happier music at the beginning when everything seems to be alright and then after the Film Production Company Logo  comes up, it changes to darker, sinister music.

Appropriate Audience Slide


This is the first thing that will be scene when we show our trailer. It is our own version of the green american version that is shown before most trailers on Youtube. This helps make our trailer look like a real production and adds to the development to the overall trailer and my coursework

ü  Key scene 3 shows real strength: you begin to experiment with editing; exploring more interesting narrative perspective/ audience positioning.
ü  Well done for conducting some independent and innovative additions to the spreadsheet to develop your research and planning.
ü  You have started to take photos and add them to some posts to enhance your ideas and demonstrate technical skill.
ü  You are continuing to use a range of technologies on your blog.

EBI:

·       Add a description or brief explanation to each blog post – eventually this will be seen by an external moderator will a close up of Jack under a subheading make sense to them? They won’t know you, your group or your circumstances so you need to make this explicit.
·       Key scene 1 and 2 don’t appear to be key at the moment. Are these scenes really the most important/ captivating narrative that your film offers? You need to develop/ improve these. (Why are these different on Max’s blog? Can you share these?)
·       Work needs to be done on your shot list for your trailer – just 10 shots?
·       Try to proof read blog posts to correct basic SPaG errors

Pupil Comment:
To make my work at least a B standard, I will need to do all the EBI. I will need to make sure that I keep my work consistent. I need to make my key scenes better as I thought they were only for my trailer, I will now take one of the key scenes out and replace it with a murder scene. This will make my key scenes an excellent hopefully.

Key Scenes









These are the three 'Key' scenes that I first thought were the most important but after recording them and editing them, I realised that not all of them were the most important to my movie, They can be scene as the key scenes to my trailer but they don't seem that important to what happened in the full movie. I will be recording 2 more scenes which will end up being my keys scenes to my movie and keeping one of the above scenes.

First Key Scene Attempt



This is my first key scenes attempt. After filming this scene, we have changed our actors for the main characters, so we decided to re-record this clip and make it better.

New actor- Scott


This is the new actor we will have playing the character Scott, our previous actor is no longer able to be a part of our production due to personal reasons, out new actor is able to be part of the production for the full time and will be part of the work for the remaining duration of the course. I've posted this on the blog that it makes sense when looking back at previous character profiles as the previous actor is featured earlier on in my blog on the character profiles. The character has stayed exactly the same however so no other disruption has come to the performance.
