Research and Planning - Weather Research

We have checked the BBC news website and found weather reports. This will be a help to us when we are filming and taking photos as dry weather and no rain is important for the mise-en-scene, as well as technology - as we are doing the majority of our shooting outdoors.

Research and Planning - Plan For the Holidays

Over the holiday we plan to start filming our trailer so when we get back we can start editing it. We will also need to take pictures for our Magazines and Posters. I will try to do more research posts if I get time.

Research and Planning - Micro Element Role

I have the role of Editing and Sound. For this I will need to make sure that we have all the footage we need so when I edit it will all be in an order and will explain the story a little bit. I will be in charge of linking the scenes together and making it fade to black and adding any text to the screen for example the title shot and production logo. I will also have to make sure when we are recording that the digetic sound can be heard. I will also have to add any non digetic sounds over the top when editing it. This will include voiceovers which we will need to record separately.
For the editing I will use a software called iMovie which I can always use for the Voiceovers. For the soundtrack I will need to use a software called GarageBand.

Research and Planning - Audition Poster

I have created this Audition poster to inform people that we will be holding auditions for our film Warning. This will hopefully attract people to want to audition so we can select a cast.

Research and Planning - Character Description (Bad Person 2)

For the second bad person they need to be confident and do what the first bad person tells them to as they see them as their leader. They also need to have a bad attitude and be comfortable with the drug storyline and pretend to take them. They need to be able to pressure/persuade the main character.

Research and Planning - Character Description (Bad person 1)

For the first bad person we need someone who can act as a leader and be bossy and likes to take charge. They need to be able to act persuasive and be able to pressure the main character. They need to be comfortable with the storyline of drugs as they will need to pretend to be taking them. They need to have an attitude and act bad and brake laws in the trailer.

Research and Planning - Main Character Description

For the main character we are looking for someone who's confident as they are going to be the person who's in the trailer the most. They need to be able to act vulnerable and innocent and be seen as someone who doesn't like doing bad things and abides by the law.
We need them to dress accordingly so would have to be comfortable wearing clothes which they may not usually choose to wear e.g. something smart to start off with and then a tracksuit later on.

Research and Planning - Costume for Poster

The people who are a bad influence on the main character will be wearing tracksuits just like in the trailer.

The main character will wear something a bit smarter

such as a knitted jumper and some leggings

Research and Planning - Costume for Magazine

For my magazine I want my actor to be wearing leggings with a jumper
maybe something a bit like this;

I will be using similar clothing for the Magazine and the trailer.

On my magazine I might use props such as white powder for the drugs.
