Rough edit

So far, I have managed to upload all of my footage on to a Mac in the Mac Suite and mastered the basics of Final cut pro which we are using to edit. It has been difficult and very time consuming but this week i have managed to cut up the scenes and choose the ones I wanted as well as putting them in to a sequence and adding text screens inbetween. It is still a bit too long and I haven't added the voice over or sound yet which is what I will work on this week.

construction of magazine and film poster

These video's show the construction of the magazine and film poster using photoshop. I am now looking for feedback from peers before posting the final images

Filming

Finally there has been a good day which has allowed us to start filming. We will need a few more days with the camera's to complete it but it is a start.

These first 2 images are the start of the stalker wall which feature in the film poster. The fact that there are people cut out of the picture opens up the imagination to gather why. Old friends? Boyfriends cut out? Ex-lovers?

This is a picture for evidence of the filming taking place. As you can see there is me with the camera filming an additional shot to add to the trailer of Hayley on a trampoline.

(Hayley was not impressed by the blood on her face)

These are a few of the pictures I took showing Hayley once she has been killed. It was difficult to get the blood droplets to show up on the ground which lead to me putting clumps down while still trying to make it seem like a trail.

Location scouting

Because of my trailer involving a hypo-diagetic narrative with the girls shooting a documentary, the shots and footage would need to be taken in their stereotypical surroundings such as their bedrooms, their hang out area's, their houses.
I have added some pictures which show the locations of where I intend to film;

I wanted to use the dog as another element of everyday life in the trailer. It will be difficult to judge with the weather how it is with snow but hopefully there will be a few outdoor shots.

 This is the bedroom of the girl, Hayley. The posters and paper and shoes on the floor all make it seem like a teenagers bedroom which it is. The messieness of it is ion of the typical connotations of a teenagers room.

 This is the outside of my house, I want to have a slow zoom in on the window and add a transition to where the filmer picks up the camera and runs down stairs to find Hayley dead. I think this establishing shot is essential for setting the scene and could make people think that the stalker may be around using ambient sound.

This is the other option for a location shot for the film poster before last week. Luckily we won't be using this as it is now covered in snow.
