Storyboards

Here are the story boards which me and my group created on A3 paper.  These storyboards show the different stages/scenes which will take place in our trailer.  However whist we were filming we changed the storyboards slightly to suit with the enviroment around us and the lighting we had. 

Location Pictures List

The images shown below are the locations were we filmed our trailer.  These images also have a brief explanation below the image about why we used this certain location.

Entrance Bridge

This is the location of the first scenes were the teenagers enter the woods, this scene is used at the start if our trailer as it shows the teenager entering the woods.  This scene was shot from two different angles, the first angle was on the right hand side, this was so the house's and school were not in the shot, in this shot it shows the teenagers walking across the bridge from a long shot view.  The second shot was at the bottom of the hill and it shows the teenagers walking towards it.  We shot from two different views to make the trailer look faster and therefore intense.

 Pathway 

  

This location was were the teenagers are walking across a pathway which leads into the forest.  This scene was filmed from one view and the camera pans clockwise as the teenagers move along the pathway.  This shot was done to show the teenagers leaving civilisation and entering the woods.  

Campsite

This location is the campsite were the teenagers setting up their camping gear and staying the night.  This location was filmed from many different shots because it makes teenagers seem more vulnerable and it speeds up the trailer.  The shots in this scene were birds eye, long panning shot and over the shoulder shots.  This shots show more about the teenagers which will intrigue the audience.  The group set up this campsite our self's to make it look more realistic. 

Trees 

Tree's were used in are trailer for two different purposes.  One over the purposes was the birds eye shot in other scenes, the other use of tree's was to be filmed as part of the scene.  The scene this tree was filmed in was when Dave was being lunged on by the unknown figure.

Abandoned building

 

This building was used for one of the most dramatic scenes in the trailer.  This was used in the scene were the group find Steve's body.  This location was perfect for this scene because it looks abandoned (which makes it more scary), and it is overgrown which makes it look old.  This location was very dark which made it perfect for group to find Steve because it links in with horror genre conventions.  

Props List

The Images Below show the props we used in our trailer.  These props are basic equipments that is used when people go camping.  Underneath the images there is a brief paragraph which explains why the prop was necessary in our trailer.  Props are one of the most important features in filming industry due to the fact that it adds a sense of realism to the scene which makes the scene more believable.  

Alcohol

This prop most empty beer cans, these cans were scattered across the group in the camp-site.  This prop was necessary for our trailer because is adds a sense of realism as teenagers will often leave there beer cans on the floor.  

Bags/Rucksacks

   

This prop is bags and rucksacks which were used by all the characters in the trailer.  This prop adds an a sense of realism as bags and rucksacks are a must have feature in a real life camping trip.  This prop was also on the floor in the camp site as it looks like a real camp site.  

Knife 

This prop is a knife which is one of the most essential props we used.  This knife is the weapon of the unknown figure.  This prop makes the trailer more tense and dangerous as it a violent weapon.  This knife was used on many scenes with the unknown figure as it makes him look more dangerous.  This prop is also a horror convention as it adds fear and danger into the trailer.    

Camping Gear

This prop is sleeping backs and roll mats used by the actors in the trailer.  This bags were used in the starting scene and in the camp site scenes as it adds a sense of realism to the trailer as these are must have features in a camping trip.  

Fake Blood

This prop is fake blood which is used to show danger in the trailer.  The blood is used when the teenagers find Steve dead, it is on Steve's clothes in this scene.  This prop is used to establish danger in the trailer as blood marks danger and fear, this links in with the conventions of a horror genre.  

Flash Lights 

This prop is flash lights which were used dark scenes in the trailer.  The Flash Lights were used in mainly the dark scenes as it adds a sense of realism and whist watching the trailer it makes it more clear of the scene. 

Film Pitch

Me and my group had to produce and film a film pitch because in real film making the writers will produce a pitch to try and persuade investors to invest into their film.  This film pitch explains the outline of the story which investors will take to mind as they will want to know what the film is about.  This stage in the filming making process is one of the most crucial due to the fact that money pays more better equipments, effects etc.   This pitch also includes Costume list, Props list, location picture, synopsis and why investors should invest in our film.

Here is a link to are film pitch which has been uploaded to you tube

Clapper Boards

When me and my group were filming, we discovered that not everything went to plan (by the story boards), we had to change some scenes to suit the lighting and the forest surrounding us.  These clapper boards show the scenes we filmed and the problems which occurred whist filming.

Costume List

Me and my group have decided to go with a sterotypical costume style for the teenagers within our trailer.  This sterotypical style includes jackets, hoddies, T-Shirts, Jeans and trailers.  I have researched typical teenage clothing and this is the most popular and common.
