Coursework Update

Trailer
 We finished filming the final shots for our trailer 2 weeks ago and we are very happy with how our shots turned out. The only problem we came across when filming was the lighting. If we moved the camera, the lighting would be different in one shot than what it was to the previous shot. Over the past 2 weeks, we have been editing all of our shots together using iMovie. As a group, we definitely underestimated how long it would take to edit our trailer and therefore, it is taking longer than we expected. We have been spending all of our media lessons and a lot of time outside lessons editing our trailer. 

Furthermore, we also had to change the actor for Melinda as the actor that we had planned to play her was unfortunately unable to make it due to other commitments. This wasn't too much of a problem as we had a backup and Beth played Melinda. We have finished editing the entire trailer together now. However, when we get feedback, we will go over it and make changes to it. The final aspect of the trailer that we now have to complete is the sound. When doing our research, we found out that the best way to edit our sound was to use 'garage band'. We have recorded all of our sound and we now need to add the sound into the right shots. We will do this after school on Tuesday. We also feel that this sound needs to make the scary shots more 'jumpy' and therefore, we need to take this into consideration when editing our sound.

Poster
I haven't managed to finish creating my film poster yet as I have had other coursework deadlines. However, I have started to edit the picture for the poster. I have made 'Melinda' stand out from the background and I have added the title to the film poster. My development so far can be seen below. I have also been using my poster research that I previously done to help me create the poster. This will ensure that I meet the codes and conventions of horror film posters. I will finish my film poster this week and hand it in on Thursday to get feedback and make improvements. 
Magazine
Unfortunately, I haven't had time to create a magazine cover yet as I have had an ICT coursework deadline. However, I have taken all of the pictures for my magazine cover. In addition to this, I have been researching other magazine covers to see what codes and conventions I need to include in my magazine to ensure that it looks like a magazine cover. I will create my magazine cover by the end of this week.
