Hello,
This is my A2 Media Blog that I documented my work on when making my film trailer, poster and magazine. I started my research and planning in June 2012 and I continued this throughout the production of my products which I began in November 2012.
I hope you enjoy looking through my blog, thank you :)

Research and Planning: Audition 4

This piece of acting seems quite forced, there wasn't much emotion. I think Tamsyn would suit a different role better, maybe one of the stalkers or a member of the victim's group of friends.

Research and Planning: Audition 3

Rebecca didn't portray the role how we intend it to be however she does show very good acting potential which means that we would cast her for a different role or maybe audition her again and giver her clearer instructions on how to play the role how we want.

Research And Planning: Audition 2

We asked Dan to audition for the role of the stalker, he took on the role very well as we want the stalker to stay calm and collected as they will believe that they are doing nothing wrong. I would happily cast Dan in the trailer as he takes on the role very well and he is also tall which can come across as intimedating.

Research and Planning: Shot Lists






Alice, who is incharge of cinematography, made a shot list for each of the locations we planned to shoot on. This will keep us organised and we know exactly what shot to use and when so it will make filming run a lot smoother. The shot lists also put into perseptive how much work needs to be done to create the trailer which has made me more motivated.

Research and Planning: Audition 1

This actor did not show the emotion that we need the victim to have. Although she is acting as though she is scared, at this point in the trailer the stalker issue is not as a big deal at the beginning of the trailer, so therefore the actor needs to show concern and confusion rather than fear.
