Change of costume - NEEDS FINISHING

I will be changing my characters costumes, hair and makeup, for each separate time change. This way the audience will be able to see that days and times change throughout the trailer. At the minute the characters are wearing their moving in clothes, they need a change.
Due to the cast changing, I will only be having two characters now, this will be the main character and the victim.
The main character is Luke Bolton, his costume consists of:
- Dark jacket
- Dark trousers
- Dark shoes
- V for Vendetta mask

The victim character is India Whiteley, her costume consists of:
- Casual, everyday clothing
- T-shirt
- Hoodie
- Flat shoes

Camera Issues

Unfortunately I am unable to get a camera to use over Christmas. Instead of filming I'm going to get on with the other aspects of the task, such as my website and digipack. Over Christmas I'm going to see if I can borrow a camera from college so that I can take pictures for my digipack.

First draft which is rubbish and needs re-shooting, half the shots are missing and so are the sounds

Positives:
I love the opening shot of my trailer, because the car lights makes the house look a little spooky.
I also like the shadowing of the girl on the door in the hallway.


Negatives:
The shots are all too dark.
It's more like a short film rather than a trailer.
Sounds need putting on.
Need to shoot in the day time and edit on the edit suite to make it look like the night time.

Re-shoot

The re-shoot is taking place this week, after re-planning the shoot time, I will now be using lighting as on the previous shoot it was way too dark. Learning from my previous mistakes, the shots should now be a lot more visible. 

Update

I still need to sort out my sounds and music for my film trailer. I have been using YouTube to search for different sounds, and sounds that have been used in other film trailers. I have come across some that I may use, however I feel that I could probably find some better ones to use. I found a website called ****** this site allows you to use the sounds provide, all you have to do is download them onto your computer.

Re-shooting

After uploading my filming onto the edit suite, I have come to realise that all the shots are way too dark. When I start to re-shoot, I will definitely have to lighten up the shooting area with lights that I borrow from college.  Due to the lighting been very low, you are unable to see facial expressions clearly and what is going on. Some of my shots are too long so I will definitely be using some close ups to shorten the shots.

I will be re-shooting my footage on Wednesday 12th December

Animatic

My animatic will be uploaded once I’ve added my sounds and music.

Time table

Unfortunately my cast can only film on certain days/nights due to personal activities outside of college. So Over the weekend I asked each of them what times they were available.  Vicky can film on Tuesday’s, Wednesday’s and Thursday. Beth is available to film on a Thursday and Liv still hasn't got back to me!

Audience Feedback for Sinister

I asked some of my peers to watch the film trailer ‘Sinister’. I recorded their reactions then asked them several questions.

1) Did you like the trailer?

2) Opinions e.g. horrible, scary?

3) What genre is the trailer?

4) Would you go see it in cinema?
