Diary Entry #7

On the 2nd of December I went out filming following my plan of filming certain shots, most of the shots I wanted to film I managed to film. However I didn't film the last shot of Alba walking down the road lit up by streetlights as it began to rain and ended up being too late to.This means that I have rearranged another day to film this and so we will go out on the 13th of December.

Diary Entry #6 - Music Planning

Today I went back to garage band to play around with the sounds, I put together a small piece of music that I think resembles my genre and could possibly be used in my trailer. I will focus more on the soundtrack later on in the process of producing my trailer so that I can get timings right and use sounds that relate to the mood at certain times.

Missing Poster For Trailer

In my trailer the main character 'Isabelle' goes missing, one of the shots is going to be an over the shoulder shot of Theo looking at a missing poster he will have made. This is the missing poster created for that shot:

Diary Entry #5

After beginning to plan my trailer and have drawn out the start of my storyboard, I decided to go out and try to film a few shots for my trailer. This helped me to think about certain aspects of the filming process that I hadn't thought about e.g. the sun goes down about 4:30 PM. This did stop me from continuing to film as I needed the daylight to film some of the shots as they were dark and unclear.

Audience Feedback Of Magazine Designs

I posted my design for my magazine onto Instagram so that I could receive some feedback for my ideas. These comments will help when producing my magazine as I am going to be able to change aspects to create a professional looking magazine. 

From the comments I have been thinking about changing my magazine from Empire to Sight & Sound magazine to make it more realistic as my film is more likely to be featured in this magazine. After the first draft I will ask for more feedback and see whether changing the magazine would be the best idea. I am going to change the picture based on the comments so it's more of a close up/mid shot rather than having a full body picture.

Magazine Layout

I have now made a digital version of my design so that I know where each aspect of the magazine cover is going to be. This gives me a better idea of the layout when it comes to making the final magazine cover and I can follow this design. 

Magazine Design

Here is my poster design, I have chosen to use Empire magazine to feature my film because they have a large following which would attract a larger audience for my film. I decided to have the main female character on the front dressed similar to as she appears in the trailer, this will then allow the audience to link both the trailer and magazine together creating recognition for the campaign. There will be smaller stories about similar films to the left and right of the actor overlaying the picture. I will use a dark colour scheme that matches both my trailer and poster.
