New Mood Board

This is the new mood board to fit to our new idea, doing this has made us think that this fits the genre of romantic drama more so as there is much more drama in the storyline which is more diverse and interesting, we think.

Changing the Trailer

We have been having difficulties with the actress and actor due to filming and time issues. This has made us re think our idea to make an all female trailer, experiencing difficulties in the modern life.  This is going to make the trailer a lot quicker to film as there will be 4 different girls therefore the filming won’t take as long as the previous idea. There will be: a woman grieving the loss of her husband-hoping to find new love, an alcoholic dealing with her issues, a single woman who has many sexual partners and falls pregnant with one of these one night stands and a female who is exploring her new homosexual life. We are still using the female we had already filmed, as this shows the woman grieving. We have organised three other actresses to play the other roles and will be done filming very shortly.

Filming

We were scheduled to film yesterday however our actress, Belle couldn't make it due to school commitments, we fear this will happen more often as the reality of her being at a boarding school could make it difficult to film fit to our schedule. So far we have done around three quarters of our orginal idea of filming, of which we are very pleased with and have started editing, we have a few gaps that we need to fill in however due to our protagonist female being at a boarding school, we are only able to film on the weekends. The footage we have of Belle could fit to a previous idea we had of having 3 women going through different problems in life, we thought Belle could be the grieving wife, from the footage we have this already shows this. Another girl will be an alcoholic, and the other a women who has many sexual parteners, for these other two characters we are going to use myself and my partner Sarah as we have free time and it makes sense to be able to use each other whenever so overall it works out easier. We will start filming in the next couple of days.

Filming Schedule

Risk Assessment

- Hazards:

·         Wet grass/leaves on ground (damp conditions) – could cause to slip

·         Sticks on the floor – could trip over

- Who could be harmed during the making of the trailer:

·         Actor/Actress – may fall over whilst performing

·         Director/Cameraman – watch where putting tripod and watch where we step

- General Safety

·         Aware of surroundings, wet ground especially.

·         Filming at night, making sure people know our whereabouts

·         Not using electrical equipment too close to water

·         Filming in the street – checking the traffic

·         Standing on a bench to film part – someone there to catch if cameraman falls

-          Dry bench before standing on it

·         If raining, make sure equipment is kept dry so it doesn’t get broken

Setting

For the location of the film trailer, ideally it would be in a romantic setting such as London or Paris, however we had to think about where would be easiest and the realistic for us to get to easily. We thought filming in Bath would be appropriate as it is a beautiful city and could be seen as quite romantic. After thinking about the filming schedule, we were planning to do some of the filming during the week, therefore it will prove to be difficult to travel to Bath and back often. This is mind, we are now going to film the Marlborough town, which will involve a park, the town-including Christmas lights and window displays, a coffee shop (need to decide which one, maybe Costa) and my house for the other shots needed. Marlborough is a old, fairly big town in Wiltshire, with the lights up it will look romantic therefore the right sort of setting for the genre of the trailer. We will take location shots to show the specific places we are filming in.
