Progress over the Half Term

Over the half term Manny filmed some as the footage as the setting was very near to where she lives, i offered to travel there to help her film, but she said she would be OK with filming on her own, as she said it would easier as it is going near to the forest setting as it is near where her cousins live. The character that we needed for filming was available on that day, he was the only character that we needed for that part of the trailer. According t Manny the filming went smoothly and there wasn't many problems, they changed the time of day they were filming as it wasn't appropriate to take a child out in the dark as they were getting scared. So they decided to film in the early morning instead, we may choose to play around with the lighting when editing or may keep it the same as last year we tried to change a the light so it looked like it was a night setting rather than a day setting but this didn't work very well and you could tell it was edited, so we had to change the plot slightly making it set in the day rather than the night. but in horror movies it is common for the setting to be quite dark this has been shown through our research.

 So far we have followed the plan that we created before the half term for shooting, but we may have to rearrange some of the plan as we have decided that we need more footage from the forest as some of the positioning could be a problem, we will try and edit it to make it look like the boy is sitting in the same position but this could be tricky, some it might be easier to film that bit again with the right positioning.

This week we have uploaded the footage that Manny has recorded and we are going to render it and record a commentary for it and upload it on the blog. We are also thinking about music and sound and when we are going to insert the voice over, we haven't decided if we are going to put it on when there is a black screen or at the start before the music starts, We are also looking at sounds that we could use for the trailer, in most of the trailers that we have researched there has always been some non - diegetic sound over the top of the footage as in the trailer for insidious there is a ticking noise and music that starts of quiet and builds up towards the end where the shots are cutting quickly from one to another, this could be an idea for ours.
