Health and Safety Considerations

When filming we had to think of multiple health and safety considerations that we will come across when we are filming our trailer, we also had to think of ways to resolve them.

Alcohol:-

We will be using alcohol bottles throughout our film trailer, but as we are under the legal age limit (18) we will be using empty bottles and will be using them with water instead of the alcohol that comes with it. This is because alcohol has some serious side effects that could be life threatening if abusing, it could cause harm to our actor as he will be unaware of his surroundings and could result in him injuring himself or others.

Broken Glass:-

To the left, I have created a video explaining all the ways we protected ourselves when we had to smash a glass bottle. It includes an explanation of what we did and also live scenes of us explaining to the camera of how we did it.

I have added a link that everyone has to follow by law. http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/law.pdf

Film and social media

Films often create awareness through advertising the company or the film on social network websites. Using social network is a form of below the line advertising which is cheap, quick and easy to use. It has been used for both large production and individually made films.

How awareness is made

- Following/subscribing - people who like the content will sign up to the account to see all posts as they are sent

- Liking - people show the account owners what they like/ want to see more of by liking the photo/post

- Commenting - allows the account holder to receive feedback from anyone on the website, both positive and negative, as this is received directly from members of the target market it can help improve the film especially if it is from a smaller production company

- Sharing/reblogging - followers and people who see your account share it with others who don't, therefore creating a wider audience (allowing the posts to be seen worldwide)

- Key words - especially used on Twitter with the use of a # these can create trends which are seen worldwide and are often popular discussion topics

Three of the most popular social media websites of 2013 include Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. 

Filming Complications

Over the Christmas holidays we had scheduled to film on the 2nd and 3rd January, but unfortunately we were unable to film. This is because we had complications with our actress as she become unavailable at the time we needed her to film. We then cast a new actress, but at the last minute she cancelled as she became very ill. To resolve this we have created a new film schedule with a new actress who is available on the day that we want to film.

We were also unable to film during the days that we wanted to, because all trains in and out of London were cancelled due to severe weather storms and flooding. We have included a print screen of one of the news articles written about the storms:

Make Up Ideas

In our film trailer, we are having a detective who is struggling to work out what happened from the case that he was assigned to solve, because of this he has developed a alcohol problem and has become very tired and stressed, this resulting in him looking very worn out.

To achieve the look that we require for our actor, we will be using dark make up around the eyes and underneath, with a hint of purple in the corner and under to show the bags under his eyes, which has resulted in the lack of sleep and stress, we will blend this in with a thin make up brush so it doesn't look as if we have put make up on. We will also "colour in" the actors wrinkles/ lines on his face to make them more exaggerated, as many people get wrinkles from the lack of sleep and stress.
As our actor has a pale complexion we are going to use a foundation that is lighter than his skin or a concealer on our actor to make him look very pale and worn out.

For the girls make up, we will be using two very different styles as we are having a personality change for the girl. The first style is sweet, natural and girly and the second style is Gothic/grunge. To portray this using make up we will use natural looking make up, with light pinks and rose colours to show her soft feminine side for the first style, to thick black eye liner and smoky eye make up for the second.

To achieve these looks I needed to research into the different styles, so that I could get an idea of what the make up would look like and how I would do it. below I have added a mood board that I created:

Mood Board - Costumes

The first mood board that I have created is showing the contrasting fashion that is commonly worn by girly girls and grunge/gothic girls. We have chosen to do this because our characters personality changes throughout the trailer from good to bad, so we want the clothes to reflect how she is feeling.

From this research we can see that girls with a girly/flirty personality would normally wear light pastel pinks/whites and converse.

The second mood board is showing all the different items of clothes that a police decetive would wear. We have included the sterotypical long brown trench coat with glasses and a hat. 

Dates available for filming 1 - Nicole, Kira and Chloe

I have created a filming schedule for when Kira, Chloe and I are able to film, we will then create another schedule that will include our actors and the dates that they are able to film for us. From this schedule we can see that the only three days that we are all free together is the 2nd/3rd January. We are all also free on Friday 10th January and Friday 17th January, however we all have school that day and will be unable to film during the day, also we want to try and finish filming over the Christmas holidays.
