We began to plan out our ancillary tasks which were to create a magazine front cover and a film poster. We wrote down possible locations where we could take the pictures and discussed the possible locations before agreeing on a specific location: Warley Woods. We then arranged a date and time that we could meet up to go and take the pictures.
22/10/2010 – 25/10/2010
During this period of time, we took a number of different photographs and experimented with different angle shots. Once we had a selection of pictures, we sat down as a group and went through a selection process where we chose the best pictures for both the magazine front cover and the poster.
We identified the best possible pictures for the magazine front cover and the film poster and then began to experiment and create a number of draft designs in Adobe Photoshop. Over a period of 2 weeks, we used our research to create the two media products.

Today we went to Warley woods to film with a video camera to try out different shots for the teaser trailer. After, watching the footage that we had recorded throughout the day, we came to decision that the lighting on the video camera was too dark. So we arranged to get a Hd camera to film our final teaser trailer.

We started to film parts for our teaser trailer today using a HD camera in Warely Woods. We chose this location because we wanted to base it in a woodland area and there was also a set of swings in this creepy location. We used this location ro record many different scenes including the swing scenes and the 'girl running in the forest' scene. By using a HD camera, we were successfully able to record the clips in high quality and resolution. We told the actors before hand to wear the required clothing which relates to our horror genre. The clothing we used to create the hooded figure was a long black coat with a hood, black jeans and black shoes. The costume we used for the girl was simple to create a child like character. The clothing includes a simple brown jumper, leggings and trainers. The prop we used for the girl was a teddy bear to make her look innocent.

Over a period of two months, we worked together as a group and arranged several different meetings whereby we went to our specified locations to film and recorded the rest of the footage for our trailer.

By this time we had recorded all the footage that we had needed which gave us approximately 2 months to edit the clips using Final Cut Pro. Once we had edited our clips, we merged them togather to form the final trailer which we then uploaded onto our blogs. we merged them together using different types of tools such as video filters called colour corrector and video transitions called dip to colour dissolve and fades. We also used the cutting tool to trim clips, add music, text and change the speed of scenes to form the final trailer which we then uploaded onto our blogs.
