Research and Planning: Location Images.

Location Images. 


These are some shots of my garage which we used for filming, I cleaned out my garage with all the stuff I could possibly get out for example, I couldn't move the cabinets and the dryer. But you can see all the other stuff I moved out and I think that just the stuff left it did add to the eerie ness of the room and being locked by themselves.

Research and Planning: Progress.

Progress.
This is what I have been doing this lesson, after editing the footage and adding effects I started to take some stills and then started editing the images together into shape. 


Research and Planning: Poster Stills

Poster Stills
These are images and effects I have been creating on my footage to create the effect needed for all the stills needed to create my poster.
 This is the effect when I have been messing about and started to put different effects on such as Hard Light whilst I have been messing around with the brightness and colour cast over it, e.g. I added a green cast over it to make the nightvision effect.
 This is a different effect, Sci-Fi still with the brightness and colour cast over the top although I don't think this one works as well as the other as it doesn't have the darkest feeling to it and it seems more grey.
This is just a screenshot of the brightness and and everything I was editing to create the above effects.

Research and Planning: Unedited Footage.

Unedited Footage. 

This is the unedited footage from our filming day on Sunday. The filming actually went quite well and we managed to get quite a lot of varied footage of all the characters, the only draw back was that the weather was freezing so our characters had to keep on their coats and things to keep warm because it would have been completely unfair to ask them to do otherwise. 
The footage looks a bit average at the minute but I think when we add our effects like night vision and edited it into our trailer then it will work really well. 

Our little camera that we filmed all of this footage on died after a short while and because we were working against time, we used another camera and got some extra footage on that which will be uploaded when my partner is in and will definitely help to make the storyline clearer.

Research and Planning: Make-Up Shots Filming.

Make-Up Shots Filming. 




These are some make-up shots of the bruises that I used in my filming, I just placed bruises on my actors because the blood didn't turn out to well and it was too cold to work with my other option which would have possibly stuck to their faces but I think this probably works better with the image we are trying to create with our film.

Research and Planning: Magazine Progress.

Magazine Progress.


This is the further progress of my magazine, I have now added my image that I choose to use and decided to add the TV grain over the top so that it fits with my film and I have also added my guides to help me with arranging text.
