Evaluation of First Draft

Looking at my storyboard I have realised that I have left out some vital information with the shots and the transitions between, so I am going to create a second draft that will be an improvement of my first storyboard.

Storyboard

I have just finished my storyboard but looking over the final piece I think it would be sensible to make a second draft of the storyboard.

Below is a draft of my first storyboard:

Evaluation of setting

Looking at all of my possible locations shot I have taken, I think I have a good collection and am ready to start filming in some of these locations. I may have to change some of my locations due to weather conditions or flooding due to the rain.

Setting - location

Today I started to think of locations of where I could film. Some of my ideas of were I could film came from places I have previously been and others people have suggested to me.

Initial Ideas:
-wooded area
-river bank side walk
-Walk way -grass path
-empty house
-built up estate
-field

Here are some of the possible locations below of where I could be filming.

This wooded walkway is a very nice shot with the light and how in draws attention to how the path way goes all the way down the forest. I will use this shot when I film my shot of the couple walking down the walkway as it creates a peaceful atomosphere.

This is another shot of a walkway but is a bit duller but the walkway looks more attractive, I don’t think I will use this shot due to the fact that it is not long enough for my shot and also the trees are not the right distance close to each other to create a archway.


I took this shot of a meadow near my house; I chose this shot because how the forest in the background brings forth the foreground were my actors will be recorded. I will use this shot in my trailer as it will make the couple much more distinctive.


This view of an estate was taken when i was going through a town called haverhill, i was thinking of using this area to shoot






This shot of a walkway along a river would make a really good shot for my films as the light reflecting of the water makes the shot more peacful and tranquil. im not sure if I would use this shot in my traler due to the fact that the path isnt wide enough and also the tree line os to close to the river.

Storyboard Finished

I have finished my storyboard after discussing with peers and teachers of what shots would be appropriate for the film and what editing would be good between the shots. I haven’t decided on what music would go best with shots, but i will decide closer to the time of finishing my film. I will test many possible music choices to see what goes best with the whole film and certain shots.

Poster Design

I took these pictures for my poster; I got some inspirations from some of the other posters I researched in my blog.

I took two pictures just to make sure the contrast the angle of the shot and the tone was correct. My second Picture will be the one I use for my Poster I think as it has a darker contrast than the first. This would be good for my poster as it will give the effect I want.

Completed Website

I have finished my Website which has many features on it.


Below is a picture of my finished website:




Here is a link to my website in which you can view the whole site.

Videos on The Website

On my website I placed a few videos on to it; I thought this would give the affect of other websites which use multiple videos to advertise their own video. The videos I placed on my website were all thriller films but not all in the same sub genre, some were horror thrillers, others were sociological thrillers, the reasons I chose these were that as my film was a thrillers this would make my film more realistic.

Below are the videos I have placed onto my blog:

Shutter Island-I chose this as it gave a more diversity to the subgenres on my website.

Batman, The Dark Knight-This is a big film and I thought if people saw this they would be more likely to click on my film

Harry Potter-This is another large big film but is more for the younger generation and who looks for this will see my film and click that to view it.

Skyline-A brand new movie which is highly known would be a great advertisement for my website as people who are searching the film will come across my website and see my movie.

Details on The Website

On my website I have placed widgets on website which stand out from other websites. My main feature on my website is the 3D section which shows what films are showing in 3D. The photos slide across to the box it is in to reveal what new movies are coming soon. I used this widget as it looked very attractive and I have not seen any other websites use them, so this makes it unique.
Here is a view of the widget:



When I have finished my poster I would like to place this scrolling widget, I would make it stand out so people would click it to view it. Another widget I have used is to show new trailers coming out. They are hyperlinked so when you click a new video it will show the new link of the video. When I finish filming I will add my trailer as the number one film so that you will always be able to see my film, this will draw attraction to my film making people more likely to view the film. Here is a view on what this widget look like:

Another widget I used on my website that it links to many social websites, for example facebook and twitter, I thought of using this on my website as many young people use facebook and twitter and this would help with the advertising of the film and company. Here is what the like widget looks like:

Website design

From looking at the websites I have analysed I see that a lot use hyperlinks to link them to other pages such as other trailers and some websites even have games.

I will take this concept of using hyperlinks into my website as this will give diversity and I won’t have so much information onto one webpage.

Hyperlinks on my page,
as over 500million people use facebook and other social sites I saw this as a good opportunity to get my film trailer onto these social sites, below is a picture of my facebook page for my film company
