RE-CASTING

Due to further difficulties with actors we have had to recast the role of Emma
We will now be using Milly Clark for Emma, we have decided to use a group member as she knows the importance of filming and keeping to schedule. This also makes filming dates easier to plan and carry out.

ANIMATIC

CHEST CAM

Today we experimented with a shot we are planning to use at the party scene with Will. Below is a preliminary clip to test out it's effectiveness. 

HOT FUZZ

After watching 'Hot Fuzz' I noticed a lot of editing techniques and devices that we can look at for our own trailer.

This is an example of parallel action that has been used but is also in a way graphic match as the frame cuts to a similar thing happening in each shot.

In action scenes there is a lot of camera work that swings from different parts of the action which eliminated using cuts during theses scenes other than when cutting to parallel action.

This use camera work makes showing the action less violent and a lot easier to show.

As we want to include slight violence in our film but do not want to get overly graphic, we can use this technique in our trailer.

Different red foods are used throughout the film instead of blood, not only does this add to the comedic value of the film, but it also minimises the violence, although we are not filming a comedy and would not necessarily use this particular, it is a good way of avoiding over the top and cliche violence, which we also want to make sure of.

Throughout the film there was a lot of sound use to emphasise actions, as sound is going to be very important in our trailer, this is something that we can look into and use to develop our piece. sound is used in so many different ways throughout the film; to show things about characters, give away things in the plot and foreshadow action. one example of this is in this scene where the chief inspectors lip twitches and a sound is used at the same time as this to emphasise the action and back up the dialogue.

the film refers to things that have already happened, in a way the first events foreshadows what comes laters such as 'The Andy's' talking about Arron A Arronson in the phone book and him later being introduced as a character as well as the way skinner kills messenger by pushing part of the church on his head is reflected by the way skinner lands on and gets impaled by the model church. We are planning on using this same device in our trailer by showing the brother drinking from a bottle and then later mirroring this action with his sister.

CAR CRASH SCENE

For the car crash scene we want to be able to create a realistic car crash but obviously not damage the car we are using.

Issues we may encounter with this are;

• smashing windows
• debris
• smoke 
• air bags

We have decide to try and make some sugar glass to smash around the tyres and the car to make it look like the windows have smashed. We have also purchased some smoke bombs to put under the car to look like steam and smoke from the engine. 

To make the crash look realistic we have planned various shots such as doing an emergency stop and letting a phone held by someone in the back seat fly forwards, and close ups of the casualty to avoid showing too much of the car.

SHOT INSPIRATION

For shots of the party we really liked the way that this music video was shown and really showed the way she was being affected by drink. This shot is really effective in the way it tracks the main character and I feel that we would be able to replicate something in homage to this sort of shot

We have used copyright free music over this video [(C) 2014 Universal Music AB] to further show the sort of shot we want to create, this music and the video really show the juxtaposition and binary opposition we hope to create.

LOCATION

PROPS

We have complied a list of props that we need to film these include;

• Empty beer bottles
• Fire pit
• Out door chairs and table
• Spare tyre
• Smoke bombs
• Picture frame
• Tissues
• Crime scene tape
• Flowers
• Strobe light

JUXTAPOSITION AND INSPIRATION

For part of our final film trailer we wanted to have a shot of Jack's (Will's) face walking through the party to show how intoxicated he is. We looked for some exemplar clips that demonstrated this look. After watching an example from Movern Callar we decided to fix a clip of classical music to a similar shot from Mean Streets.

3 KEY SHOTS

These are the first three shots that we have story boarded to get the feel and look of our film decided.
