Group Planning - ISO

Media Studies A2 A member of my group also looked into ISO which is sensitivity of the camera , this information will come in useful for all members of my group when filming our trailer.

Group Planning - Trailer Structure

Our group has had a discussion about what shots and footage that will be in our trailer and we have followed the trailer structure;

Opening - Starts with the killers backstory --> His parents teaching him not to sin

Build up - In school  at the back of a classroom , in lesson. - Montage of him in school being ignored and unnoticed.

Problem - Carves attention because he never gets any - Popular girl its all the attention and he looks over and is ticking people off a list, who gets the most attention and planning to kill them.

Events - Begins next victim is restricted, with dead classmates around him. As the camera pans closer to the victim, the victim will look up and gasp - it then finishes with the title and credits.

Group Planning - Depth of Field

Media Studies A2: Depth of Field A member of my group has done research into depth of field, this will be beneficial to our group when we each have a turn in recoding our trailer.

Film Title Survey

Had a discussion with my group and we were not able to settle on a film title that we all liked so I therefore put all our ideas into a survey and letting the respondants rank the titles from 1 being their favourite and 11 being their least favourite. To do this I have used a survey software called Survey Monkey. This software will allow our results to be collected into a graph, making it easy to understand and present our in a clear matter. Film Titles Survey

Film Title BrainStorm

I read our film synopsis thouroughly and had a go at brainstorming some Film Title Ideas. From research, I have learnt that most horror film titles are a maximum of four words and they relate to a specific time of year or date. I decide to reinforce the convention of using a maximum of four words and decided against the time titles because our film is not based of around a significant time to the killer also including titles that other memebers of my group came up with.
