are. Gives the movie a sense of
realism, how it can happen to
them.
Popular scores used in movies

Ideas Group Discussion:

Trailer Ideas Mind Map
Ideas relating to someone being
stabbed, in a party. Blood
everywhere linking to the common
conventions of horror.
Bloody knife and body, we can use
fake blood to show danger, this
creates a sense of fear which
creates suspense.
Doing makeup - as part of the sleepover, and
getting ready for the halloween party
Watching a scene from
euphoria which is a show, the
scene will pause on someone
face as someone tries to
replicate the makeup look.
Looking at more ideas, we can note that in a party
environment they will be taking pictures of each-
other, this could potentially be faded into a police
environment. This advocates to the audience
members that something must have gone wrong
however we do not reveal too much creating
anticipation for audience members to want to watch
out movie.
A shot of someone’s back
(they would be wearing a
black hoodie with the hoodie
pulled up so the audience
don't know who) holding the
bloody knife while looking
down at the back of a dead
body so its doesn't spoil who
dies but builds anticipation
Our theatrical trailer will follow the three-act
structure. This means that it will start off with an
establishment shot, this can show their
environment then we will carry on with a
disturbance and furthermore end our theatrical
trailer with a montage and the trailer will be 2:30
seconds long. The teaser trailer will be 30
seconds to a minute therefore it gives us room to
decide and analyse what we can add to the trailer
to make it appealing to our target market.
A close up shot of a
hand holding the bloody
knife
Doing a line a of powdered drug (using flour) (we are not
glorifying it) then the scene cuts before its sniffed this could be a
way that someone is killed, the drug affects the person's body,
making them do things they're not suppose to (killing their friend).
There will also be someone who takes another prescribed drug
for their mental illness, these two drugs being together in their
body will have harmful side effects such as hallucinations ,the
prescribed drug is a new type of drug on the market.
Bloody knife
Walking out of the
party with music in
the background to
show the party is
going on (diegetic
music) - not too loud
so you can hear us
talking
Another aspect we could interpret
into our final piece is the non
glorification of drug use, this can
also be added with peer-pressure
as we can target issues in relation.
Another thing we could think about
is adding a blue to the camera, this
means it can create a sense of
hallucination etc.
The group taking pictures all together then there will be a flash as they
take the picture which might be the transition to another shot of the flash
ending and we can see that its the police taking pictures of a dead body.
The ending of the establishing part can be of the taking pictures then
the transition is the flash and the start of the start of the disturbance is
the police taking pictures
Looking at the costumes used, and the common
conventions of a subgenre the clothing used for when
there is stabbing would be tatted, damaged clothes,
this shows how they are vulnerable and accentuated
on their weakness, making the audience connect more
with the character, creating a larger urge to want to
watch the movie.
Looking at the common
conventions of a drama, for our
final piece we will try to promote an
emotional connection with the
characters and the audience to
create more tension in the trailer to
make them feel more sympathy
etc.
Them playing a board
game such as ouija but we
will have our own version
of it but in a way that the
audience know what it is,
one of the friends in the
group will say how this is a
bad idea, then we will see
them dead a but later.
We will try to add popular soundtracks
such as popular artists, this will help
show our target market who are
teenagers more about and relate more
to the situation making our final piece
more contemporary.

Mise-en scene Sound
Editing Shots
For our mise-en
scene, we will look
into creating our final
piece relatable to the
common conventions
of horror and some
of drama, this can
help make our genre
more understandable
and help create a
more scary and sets
the tone, we took
inspiration:
For our sound, we will try to add
in popular soundtracks, this is
because it will make our final
piece more contemporary and
more in date with our audience
members, furthermore from our
survey we gained information to
add scores which are
screeching noises etc to create
suspension and bring a new
sense of fear to audience
members.
For the editing of our final
piece, we will try to incorporate
features such as adding blurs to
create an effect of hallucination,
we will also add features such
as fast invisible cuts to keep a
high sense of continuity
furthermore we will add things
such as fade however we will
add inspiration to further
promote ideas / features we
could potentially add to make
our final piece aesthetically
pleasing.
Looking at the common conventions of
horror / drama films we can denote
that they tend to not reveal a lot about
the surroundings. From our survey
conducted, we could see that people's
favourite horror movies were movies
like the conjuring and shining which
tend to not reveal too much to create
passive audiences into more active
audiences to create a sense of fear.
Furthermore, we can see in drama
movies such as love island to keep a
sense of reality to keep the audience
member interested.

Inspiration page
(mise-en-scene)
costumes
props
MAKEUP
SETTING
For the makeup we were inspired by the
show euphoria, they tend to use glitter and a
lot of gems mainly around their eyes. They
also tend to use purple, blue and pink for
their eyeshadow. We thought that this could
be interpreted into our halloween costumes
in the beginning of the trailer, showing us
Most teen dramas show
typical teenage parties,
however we will
transform it into a
halloween party to add
the horror to the drama
since that's our genre.
Our our party scene
inspiration comes from
movies such as mean
girls where they hosted a
halloween party and the
show euphoria color
themes with the lighting
as well inspired us.
For our sleepover (ouija board
scene) and getting ready scene,
it will be based in the bedroom
and again inspired by euphoria
we will transform the room to
look like a typical teenage room,
with fairy lights, many throw
pillows, decor etc. For the
getting ready scene girls usually
have a chaotic messy room
when getting ready as you can
see in the picture on the left.
As i mentioned before our makeup is inspired by the
show euphoria which we will interpret into our
halloween costumes, this will be the same for our
outfits. As you can see in the pictures below these are
characters in euphorias outfits, which we will try and
recreate. The type of outfit depends on the character
and their personality, as you can see the outfit of each
character depends on their personality, some are girly
and others are more tomboy and one is even goth.
This helps portray the characters personality and
understand them more in the trailer without the
audience watching the movie.
For the props we will be using drugs which is also inspired by the show
euphoria where drugs are used by teenagers to educate how bad it can
affect your life, therefore you should never use them. The way we will
interpret this into our own trailer and teaser is through the idea of
encouragement by friends to take drugs which will lead to consequences
such as hallucinations and accidental events. Moreover, us using the ouija
board at the sleepover scene is inspired from many horror movies
specifically the movie ‘Ouija’ where this board is said to bring bad spirits
and possess, which will help create horror in our trailer and teaser.
Furthermore, as i mentioned in the settings probs like fairy ad LED lights
will be added to the bedroom in the sleepover scenes to create a more
realistic teenager room inspired by euphoria.

Our first draft of the story board

During the planning stage of our storyboard, we decided
that we wanted to ensure that we follow the three act
structure, meaning that the end of our trailer would need to
have a fast moving montage. Therefore we took our
previous five shots of the slow dance movement and the
characters sleeping in a room, to meet more of the
common codes and conventions of a horror movie by
adding five completely different and scary scenes such as
banging on a door, showing how scared the character is.
The killers point of view of watching one of their victims
sleeping which immediately foreshadow danger. Moreover
we can see that there is a demeted body reflecting back in
the mirror, which creates tension and brings fear to the
audience members, fast car chases which brings an
adrenaline rush and the last shot of a screaming character,
we decided to make it more chaotic as this will ensure that
we can bring fear but also make it more clear as to the
storyline.
Storyboard planning (2)

THEATRICAL TRAILER
A theatrical trailer which is also known as a preview of coming attraction is a commercial
advertisement for a feature film that will be exhibited by potential audience members. This trailer is a
long version of a trailer as they can range from 2-3 minutes long. Moreover we have to follow the
three-act structure of establishment, disturbance and montage in order to make out piece more clear
to audience members and to ensure that we can portray the highest quality trailer to attract
audiences. It is important that we follow the structure and keep to a clear and consistent layout in
order to make it clearer for us as the producers in the filming stage.
THEATRICAL TRAILER IS ON THE NEXT SLIDES:

Storyboard THEATRICAL Mise en scene- Makeup products will be used in this first shot as a close up - this is a typical code and convention of
drama movies where girls usually like to get ready and play around with makeup with their friends, this also lets the
audience get to know the characters personalities because often makeup can show they are “girly”. We added makeup
as we know this will automatically attract teenage audiences, which are our target demographic, moreover male
audiences may be confused as to why there is makeup, making them want to watch on.
Lighting - high key lighting coming from the lights in her room - evening time.
Shot - A close up shot will be used - close ups are used to show importance of the props and in this case it's the
makeup. Close up allows us to immediately show the audience that our characters are female, this is because looking at
common stereotypes, females tend to wear more makeup. Therefore adding a close up does not reveal too much at the
beginning to expose any form of the storyline.
Editing - It will start as a close up then it will zoom out to show more makeup products scattered on the table because
the girl is getting ready, a pan movement allows the audience to explore more of the establishing environment without
revealing too much, making them want to watch on.
Sound - non diegetic sound track - a typical modern day song playing from her phone as she gets ready, this is because
it is associated with teenagers and moreover teenage audience members will be able to relate, making them watch on.
What is happening: the shot changes from the makeup to the main character being introduced to doing her makeup,
foreshadowing future events to the audience.
Mise-en scene- This scene is showing her in her room applying makeup. There will also be a container of prescribed lithium pills
for her mental illness, she will will look at it and pushes it away into the trash.
Shot- medium shot
Lighting: normal white bathroom lights to represent to the audience that is so danger.
Sound: diegetic recorded sound track of a modern day popular song playing in the background to show that she is listening to
music while applying makeup which is what a normal person does, it also offers a sense of relatibillity to the audience as the
song will be known and the action of listening to music while listening to music is relatable.
Editing : when it moves from shot one to shot two there is no cut it's a continuous edit, this is to show that this is from the same
scene and that.
What's happening: She’ll be putting make up as she looks in the mirror (same as the scene before) but here it's now a medium shot
showing her clothing and room and her face is different..
Mise en scene - Again the makeup will be the props used here to signify her girly personality and show the drama side of our genre but
this time she is holding it and using it - It will be euphoria inspired makeup for the halloween party she's about to attend.
Shot - This shot will be a medium shot to show her what she's wearing and her room
Lighting - high key lighting - good lighting is needed for this scene because we are still introducing the character so details of her outfit
and makeup needs to be shown in good lighting
Editing - An invisible cut will be used to switch from the close up to medium long shot.
Sound - the same diegetic song will be playing from her phone (same as shot 1 and 2) - again to show hr personality through the typical
modern day music she listens to

establishment

Mise en scene - Here we can see the introduction of another character, this is during the establishment phase as it shows
who the characters are and makes it clear as to them being teenagers, going to a party therefore setting the overall theme
and tone for the trailer. We can see that they will be in a bedroom, with the girl doing her makeup and getting up and the
entrance of the new character breaks away from the isolation that was presented in the first few shots. The mise-en scene
will show calm and excited body-language to somewhat foreshadow future events which creates confusion within the
audience.
Shot - The shot is a medium close up, we decided to choose this shot as it can correctly denote the characters facial
expressions with also including the background, this can help create the mood for the environment. We decided to choose
this shot as it can denote not only their expressions but help create more of a character relationship with the audience as
they begin to understand their personalities etc.
Lighting - The lighting will be normal bedroom lighting, this is because it can help create a warm mood for the characters,
so that when the trailer moves forward, when negative things happen it can create sympathy for them.
Editing - For the editing, it will be a fast invisible cut, this is so that it can cut fastly and keep a sense of continuity
throughout the establishment of the trailer.
Sound - The sound for this shot will be a diegetic dialogue of the second character saying ‘’are you ready’’, this creates
confusion within the audience as they want to know what it is that they are getting ready for, it also foreshadows danger as
something is going to happen, yet as it is a trailer and we cannot reveal too much.
Mise en scene - For this shot, the mise-en scene is that we are trying to create a very shallow tone and scary tone, in a
teenage bedroom, in order to create more of the common conventions of a horror. Adding a split into the main character
looking into the mirror and editing it to create a sad look looking back at the character creates a sense of fear, this is to
again emphasise and foreshadow the dangers that lie ahead in the movie, yet we are trying to show that this character may
be the victim within the movie, making it more understandable for the audience members.
Shot - this shot will be a medium long shot to show both her from the waist up and the reflection in the mirror, this is to put
emphasis on the difference in the expression, the shot will denote her side profile on both sides to show a change in
expression from happy to sad, to show deep down she is not happy, to create a sense of curiosity within the audience.
Lighting - The lighting within this will be slightly more gloomy than the previous one, this is because it can help to convey
the saddened mood which we are intending to portray.
Editing - this will be an invisible cut then it will fade to black to set the tone of the trailer and to add mystery to it, we chose
the colour black as this is the most common colour used in movies with the similar common conventions of horror and
drama.
Sound - The sound for this shot will be a diegetic sound where it goes from silence where she replies to the previous
dialogue to say ‘’i am’’ insinuating that she is ready.

Mise en scene - For this title, we can see that it will fade to black, this is because looking at rick altman colour representation we
can see that the colour black can represent fear, danger etc therefore this colour would be most suitable for the background for our
titles, Here we can add a title such as a small quote along the lines of ‘’ would you trust your friends?’’ or some short quote along
these lines to create suspense and fear within the audience.
Shot - this will simply be a fade to black with a title.
Lighting - Dark lighting as the colour black will create a sense of fear.
Editing - a fade to black so that the movie title will make a stark obvious difference against the black background, the fade from the
previous shot it will be a fast fade, therefore it will somewhat pop up and create a small jumpscare which is what we intend.
Sound - The sound for this will be a non-diegetic cinematic effect, this is because it can ensure there is no silence, with more
research as to which sounds will fit appropriately.
Mise en scene - For this title, we can see that it will fade to black, this is because looking at rick altman colour representation we
can see that the colour black can represent fear, danger etc therefore this colour would be most suitable for the background for our
titles, for this one we will add a production title, this is so that audience members who are familiar with out production titles will be
excited, it also allows us to create a strong sense of branding.
Shot - this will simply be a fade to black with a production title.
Lighting - Dark lighting as this connotes to death and danger therefore meets the common conventions of a horror movie, this can
help make our genre more understandable and those audience members who take interest into the horror genre will be more
persuaded to want to watch the movie, bringing in a larger potential audience.
Editing - for this, the editing will be a fade in for the title, similar to the previous one so it is smoother on the audiences eye and
slowly brings up tension, which slowly moves from the establishment into the disturbance in relation to the three act structure
moreover advocating and foreshadowing a potential danger.
Sound - The sound for this will be a non-diegetic cinematic effect, this is because it can ensure there is no silence, with more
research as to which sounds will fit appropriately.

What's happening: in this shot/scene the camera will do a 360 degree pan around a circle around the group of girls sitting in a circle at a
party taking drugs- during this pan they will be passing around drugs and convincing the main character (showcased in shot 1,2 and 3 and
shot 10) to join them in taking drugs.
Mise en scene - the drug used in this shot is for educational purpose showing that its a usual thing that tennagers do but this shouldnt be a
usual thing .Further into the shots we will show the effects it can have on them to educate the audience on why it's bad to participate in drug
use and how friends can influence you to do so, moreover the mise-en scene depicts a party environment to create a sense of excitement
which again is foreshadowing danger by the use of drugs.
Shot - A medium shot showing half their body and up - the importance of this is to showcase their outfits and not only their faces, we decided
to choose this shot as it reveals some of the background and some information, but not too much therefore keeping tension high
Lighting - The lighting is party lights, colourful to help denote a party environment, typical teenage syntactics.
Editing - the continuous editing of the pan is to showcase and introduce more of the main characters of the movie, this is an invisible cut from
the previous shot however to forward into the next shot, it will be a continuous shot, to keep a sense of continuity to pan around the room.
Sound - The sound for this shot will be a diegetic sound of people pressuring someone to take drugs ‘’just do it’’ peer pressuring the victim
into taking drugs with background non-diegetic music to show danger.

8
Mise en scene - The mise-en scene for this scene will be blurry, this is to allow the audience to understand that the character is under the
influence of drugs therefore foreshadowing danger, that she is the victim and main character and making it more understandable for the
audience, therefore making them want to watch on.
Shot - The shot for this is a point of view, this is so that we can correctly denote her emotions of being scared, this can also help the audience
understand the effects of drug use, ensuring that we do not glorify it and portray it in a negative manor.
Editing - The editing for this shot will be that we will edit the shot to be blurry, this can help denote the feelings of being drugged and under the
influence. Furthermore we will edit this shot so that it is an invisible cut shot, to enforce the audience to focus more on the content rather than
the editing and it can help keep a sense of continuity throughout the trailer.
Sound - The sound for this shot will be a diegetic sound of people pressuring someone to take drugs ‘’just do it’’ peer pressuring the victim into
taking drugs with background non-diegetic music to show danger and music.

Mise en scene - This shots mise-en scene is a teenage party aesthetic, we will add colourful strobe lights to symbolise they are in
a party, this may be relatable for some teenagers who have been in parties similar to this therefore grabbing their attention and
making them move on, the actors body language will be tired, dizzy which can create a form of sympathy towards the character.
Shot - This is a medium long shot, this is because it can help bring attention to the character whilst also revealing some of the
background with the lights etc yet without revealing too much which may spoil the movie itself.
Lighting - The lighting for this shot are party lights, colourful to help denote a party environment, typical teenage syntactics, we will
ensure to bring a spotlight to the main character to somewhat emphasise on the sweat, dizziness etc.

We are now moving into the disturbance of the trailer, showing the audience that there is a problem;
Mise en scene - This next shot is where the main character has been taken into a picture, this is so that it can somewhat freeze
time and make the audience understand what the victim of drug abuse was going through. The fade to white also connotes to
heaven, somewhat advocating that this character may be dead. We added this section of the trailer which is similar to the three-act
structure and it is the disturbance this is because the audience are alerted that there is an immediate problem.
Shot - The shot for this is a camera shot of a medium close up of the main character ( victim ) this is so that we can focus on the
character without revealing too much in the background.
Lighting - The lighting for this shot are party lights, colourful to help denote a party environment, typical teenage syntactics, we will
Editing - The editing will be a fade from a white flash this is so that it can slowly show the audience there is a problem.
Sound - The sound will be non-diegetic camera noises, this is to ensure that the audience understand that a photo has been
taken, we can also see that the diegetic party noises and muffled sounds will fade out, to bring silence which can create a sense of
feat which links well to the common conventions of a horror trailer, as it can create a form of tension within the audience.
Mise en scene - This next shot is similar to the previous one, however the picture taken will zoom out to a detective / police officer
examining the room, this changes the tone completely from a party environment to complete silence, and gloom, linking to the
common codes and conventions of a horror. This can help the audience to understand that there has been a problem as the
picture will be laid on the floor, which means that something has happened to this girl, creating a sense of fear.

danger, making them want to watch on.
Disturbance

18
17
16
In in this scene we are now introduced to the disruption part of the 3 act structure
Mise en scene - In this shot the policeman is shown taking a picture of the crime scene, the camera is a key prop in this scene and the
previous one because they are both used for different purposes, in this shots case it's being used in a negative way but the audience is
still not familiar with why it’s being used and making them question what just happened? why is the police here? what crime was just
committed? Making them engaged to persuade them to watch the movie and fins out.
Shot - A medium close up shot will be used again to similarly replicate the previous one as well as to focus on the camera but the
uniform to make sure they are familiar that his is a policeman.
Lighting - Low-key lighting since it will now be late at night after the party and this will also help make it more of a horror scene since
bright high-key lighting make not give the audience a sense of fear
Editing - Again its started of as a a fade from a white flash this is so that it can slowly show the audience there is a problem.
Sound - The same camera snap sound (non-diegetic) will be used as the previous but now a non-diegetic sound track of dramatic music
will start to intensify the disruption scene.
Mise en scene - In this shot we are now shown more or the crime scene still in the same room but a more key part - which is the body
being zipped up in the background. The zipped body bag brings many thoughts to the audience since they are now aware that someone
has died - making them question who is in the body bag? Which is why we will only be showing the feet of the body since this is a trailer
and we can't reveal too much but also this will attract them to watch our movie so that they can find out.
Shot - A Long shot will be used in this shot to familiarize the audience with the new atmosphere of the room that this crime scene has
created and the state it left the room in. It's also used to show the relationship between characters and their environment.
Lighting - Again low-key gloomy lighting is used to create a horror scene as well as the fact that it's late at night.
Editing - Invisible cut used from this shot to the next one (18) to show a sense of continuity.
Sound - A non-diegetic sound track from the previous scene will continue to play of dramatic intense music to add a sense of fear for the
audience making them intrigued and engaged.
Mise en scene - In this scene the blood is shown dripping from the body bag, blood is a key code and convention of a typical horror
movie used to make these scenes look realistic and gruesome. In this scene the blood shown is the blood of the dead body and it could
also show and give the audience a sneak peak on the way the dead body was killed??
Shot - Extreme close up - to show importance of the blood making it more glorifying and gruesome
Lighting - Low-key lighting since the room is still dark but there will still be some lighting to showcase the blood and its detail
Editing - Again an invisible cut used to give the audience a sense of continuity
Sound - The sound will increase but still the same soundtrack of non-diegetic intense dramatic music will be playing from the two scenes
before.

20
19
Mise en scene - This shot is of another title page which helps separate the location scene change. It will be a dark title to bring
a sense of fear towards the audience again looking at rick altman colour representation we can see that the colour black can
represent fear, danger etc therefore this colour would be most suitable for the background for our titles. This title will be another
quote along the lines of “your next” to keep suspense throughout the trailer helping stay engaged. The text font will be
researched more deeply which you can see in out font research however we are sure that it will contain dark colors with either
our choice of a dark background or dark text writing.
Shot - the shot will simply just be a fade to a dark title shot with the title covering most of the screen.
Lighting - Dark lighting will be used for this because we want to create fear with low key lighting since our genre also falls under
horror.
Editing - It will fast fade to black from the scene before to help create a intense dramatic change to scare the audience.
Sound - The sound for this will be a non-diegetic cinematic effect of intense loud music for the short amount th
Mise en scene - This shot will show one of the girls being questioned but the camera quality will be through a cctv camera the
reason behind this is because we want the audience to experience what it's like though the point of view of the police statin
watching the girl being questioned, and it gives the audience a sense of belonging as if they are there seeing what it's like from
the polices point of view as well and it makes it more realistic again making sure the audience are always engaged with our
unique trailer because It also makes the audience question what is she doing here and what is she being questioned for.
Shot - It will be a medium shot this is because it helps show the girls emotions but also her body language as she is being
questioned to show her response to being in this situation. As researched before i know that you body language and All of your
nonverbal behavior, the gestures you make, your posture, your tone of voice, how much eye contact you make, send strong
messages.
Lighting - lighting is low key the lighting will be coming from a bright lamp that shines directly on her face used typically in
questioning rooms to scare the suspect.
Editing - An invisible cut will be used this is because we want don't want a clear visible transformation between the scene before
and this one and instead create a sense on continuity.
Sound - diegetic sound of the girl speaking saying “I didn't do it” again making the audience question “what is it that she did”
which will make them want to watch the full movie.

Mise en scene - Again through this scene will be shown through the CCTV camera to give a CCTV camera a different girl is now shown to a
different angle this is to show that
Shot - This shot is a high angle long shot used because we want to familiarize the audience with the new setting of the entire room which the
girls are being questioned in.
Lighting - The lighting here again will be low-key lighting with a bright lamp shined on their faces to integrate them when being questioned again
this method is usually used by police men to typically in questioning rooms to scare the suspect.
Editing - The editing of this shot will be an invisible cut, this method will be used because we don't want a clear visible transformation between
the scene before and this one and instead create a sense on continuity between all the girls being questioned.
Sound - diegetic sound of the girl saying “I don't even know her well” a low volume suspense non-diegetic soundtrack still be playing in the
background of this to make sure the audience sense of fear is still present.
Mise en scene - In this scene we are now brought closer to the character in the questioning room to introduce the audience to their identities
and facial expressions not through the CCTV this time.
Shot - This shot will be a medium close up, used commonly to show the emotions on a characters facial expression. Facial expressions are also
very important because It may also tells the audience something about that situation, for example if the character is very shocked and we can
see it in their face, this probably means something unexpected just happened, and in this case we are shown that the girls face is terrified and
frightened from being in this situation.
Lighting - The lighting in this room will be lowkey but their will be a bright lamp in the questioners face to make it seem more realistic (as this is a
typical practice done of suspects in questioning rooms) when they are being questioned in the room and giving them a sense of pressure and
fear as their being questioned.
Editing - Again an invisible cut will be used because we don't want a clear visible transformation between the scene before and this one and
instead create a sense on continuity between all the girls being questioned.
Sound - The volume will now increase as this shot starts and there will only be the non-diegetic dramatic soundtrack still playing in the
background. Diegetic sound of police man integrating her “do you recognise these drugs?”
Mise en scene - In this scene we are now shown a different character sat in the same location, in the same seat also being questioned again not
shown through the CCTV camera anymore but it's close to show their facial expressions. The purpose of this is to show how many different
people were being questioned that night, which emphasises on the crime committed was a serious one.
Shot - Again, it's similar to the shot before only the character is changing so it is also a medium close up, used commonly to show emotions.
Lighting - The lighting in this room will be the same as the shot before, which is dull and lowkey which is common on questioning rooms to give
the suspect a sense of pressure and fear.
Editing - Again an invisible cut will be used to change smoothly from character to character and giving it a sense of continuity.
Sound - In this she will be asked a different question compared to the other character so that the audience can build up some information about
what the police may be talking about, giving them clues so in this one the police asks her “were you aware she had this mental illness”

24
Mise en scene - this continues on from the previous shot and it is showing the front of her face as she gets
interrogated, her face would look pale and shocked, we would show this by having mascara smeared under her
eyes, she would be slightly trembling. This all to make the audience realize that this matter is serious and that
she is terrified. The girl would also be wearing oversized clothes and sunglasses showing that they are gulty
and are trying to cover up.
Shot - this will be a medium close up shot so the audience can clearly see her face.
Lighting - Dark, gloomy lighting to bring the tone down, this is to create tension to the audience so they feel
anxious and edgy towards the outcome, which will make them want to view the movie.
Editing - this will be a continuous shot continuing on from the previous shot.
Sound - there will be suspentional soundtrack, this to make the audience feel jumpy. Diegetic sound of girl
saying “it wasn't her/our fault”
Mise en scene - this is another shot that will include another title, it will also help the audience members to
recognise the transition from the disruption bit to the montage. The reading it is a black background is so that it
will put emphasis on the dark notes of the trailer.
Shot - the shot will be a white title with a complete black background to show the strk difference between the
two.
Lighting - the lighting will be dark to show emphasis on the fact that the trailer is not happy and cheerful but
darkl and horor
Editing - it will simply be a fade to black from the scene before
Sound - non diegetic; a creepy version of the song ring around the rosie will start to fade in softly from the
background.

Treatment (roba)
Disruption: when the flash goes out we will then see a police officer is the one taking the picture of a dead person that is covered with the dead body bag we
can see a hand poking out that is wearing the same dark red nail polish that the girl was wearing indicating that that's the same girl, we also see blood all over
the floor. This scene then ends and moves onto a scene in which the police are interrogating those who are at the party. We can see that they all look tired and
bloody but they give vague answers to the police officers who are trying to find out what happened during the party. There will then be another title shot.
Establishment: this part is at the start and it sets the scenery and introduces us to the main characters. In our trailer we have the establishment as an ordinary
girl in her room getting ready to go out applying dark red nail varnish, we can also then see her staring at her prescribed lithium pills indicating she has a mental
illness, she will then look at them open them then choose not to take them and throw them away in the trash. her friend will then come in to the room and ask
her if she's ready to go indicating they are going to a party by their choice of makeup and outfits. Her friend then leaves and the girl looks in the mirror and sees
the reflection staring back as her is different (dark sinister expression). Two titles then appear on the screen. We then move onto the group of friends sitting in
a circle together doing drugs and they appear to pressuring the girl to do the same which she refuses but they keep peer pressuring her to do it as well, she will
then succumb to the pressure and do it. Afterwards she will walk in the party blurry eyed and stumbling due to the drugs effect on her. The ones at the party will
then continue to say statements that will indicate to us that they are not her true friends but they are pretending to be so they can laugh at her, one of them will
then take a picture of her in a bad way, the flash will be on.
Montage: during the montage there will be five main shots; the first shot shows character #1being in a room and the room door slamming shut, then it will be
of her jiggligging the door knob trying to open the door, the lights will also be flickering on and off. For the second shot character #2 will be seen looking
outside her window at someone who is staring at her from the streets. For the third shot it will show character #3 in her bathroom in front of her bathroom
mirror and sink,there will be no one behind her as she looks in the mirror. she will then proceed to open the water to wash her face and she will lean and tilt her
head down to, the camera angle will be angled down too so the mirror won’t be seen. When she stops leaning down and looks up the camera angle will go up
too showing the mirror and that there is someone behind her in the mirror, she will then proceed to look behind her but won’t find anything. For the fourth shot
character #4 will be seen jogging at night but will stop to walk. She will spot a black car that is following her which makes her quicken her pace and run yelling
help. For the fifth shot character #5 will be seen in the dark with only her face that can be seen clearly due to direct light on it which emphasis on her haggard
appearance, she will also be surrounded by darkness to put emphasis on the evil that is surrounding her. She will also scream at the end in a terrified way and
there will be high pitched laughter in the background as well. This will leave the audience unsettled as thathe trailer ends.

TEASER TRAILER:
For the teaser trailer, this is a trailer which is also known as a pre- launch campaign, it is an
advertising campaign which consists of a much faster version of the theatrical trailer. This is
because it will be much more attention grabbing therefore looking at the theatrical trailer,
this means that we will need to take the montage in relation to the three act structure and
we will place this directly into the middle in order to increase the attention of the users.
Moreover as the teaser trailer is a shorter version, this means it will have less shots as it will
range from 45 seconds to 1 minute therefore we can incorporate shots from the theatrical
trailer into the teaser trailer in order to keep a sense of branding and understanding. To also
ensure that the audience are not exposed to too much information.
THE STORYBOARD FOR OUR TEASER TRAILER IS BELOW:

1
2
Mise en scene - Here we can see the introduction of another character, this is during the establishment phase as it shows
who the characters are and makes it clear as to them being teenagers, going to a party therefore setting the overall theme
and tone for the trailer. We can see that they will be in a bedroom, with the girl doing her makeup and getting up and the
entrance of the new character breaks away from the isolation that was presented in the first few shots. The mise-en scene
will show calm and excited body-language to somewhat foreshadow future events which creates confusion within the
audience.
Shot - The shot is a medium close up, we decided to choose this shot as it can correctly denote the characters facial
expressions with also including the background, this can help create the mood for the environment. We decided to choose
this shot as it can denote not only their expressions but help create more of a character relationship with the audience as
they begin to understand their personalities etc.
Lighting - The lighting will be normal bedroom lighting, this is because it can help create a warm mood for the characters,
so that when the trailer moves forward, when negative things happen it can create sympathy for them.
Editing - For the editing, it will be a fast invisible cut, this is so that it can cut fastly and keep a sense of continuity
throughout the establishment of the trailer.
Sound - The sound for this shot will be a diegetic dialogue of the second character saying ‘’are you ready’’, this creates
confusion within the audience as they want to know what it is that they are getting ready for, it also foreshadows danger as
something is going to happen, yet as it is a trailer and we cannot reveal too much.
Mise en scene - For this shot, the mise-en scene is that we are trying to create a very shallow tone and scary tone, in a
teenage bedroom, in order to create more of the common conventions of a horror. Adding a split into the main character
looking into the mirror and editing it to create a sad look looking back at the character creates a sense of fear, this is to
again emphasise and foreshadow the dangers that lie ahead in the movie, yet we are trying to show that this character may
be the victim within the movie, making it more understandable for the audience members.
Shot - this shot will be a medium long shot to show both her from the waist up and the reflection in the mirror, this is to put
emphasis on the difference in the expression, the shot will denote her side profile on both sides to show a change in
expression from happy to sad, to show deep down she is not happy, to create a sense of curiosity within the audience.
Lighting - The lighting within this will be slightly more gloomy than the previous one, this is because it can help to convey
the saddened mood which we are intending to portray.

the colour black as this is the most common colour used in movies with the similar common conventions of horror and

Film name (sarah: description
WE ALL DECIDED NAMES (ALL)
On this page we'll be
finding the film name. I
decided to conduct a form
of primary research survey
of 10 people to which 6/10
people decided that the
name Ephemeral was the
most appropriate name with
context of the storyboard.
This is because ‘’it creates
the strongest idea of
confusion which would
make me want to watch on
and watch the movie’’.
Therefore from this
feedback it allowed me to
understand that this name
for our trailer ensures that
we do not reveal too much

Font research:
Dana
A survey was taken in order for us as a group to understand what our focus group prefer for our fonts, the final font chosen will be used in the
trailer teaser and poster. Putting out a survey for our focus group is really important as our focus group research is to draw upon respondents'
attitudes, feelings, beliefs, experiences and reactions in a way where other methods are not applicable. A Focus Group allows the us (the
researchers) to gather more information in a shorter period of time in a matter of hours. They are who the movie is going to be viewed by and
their opinions will really effect on the popularity of our trailer die to the fact that their ideas were inputted. After research we had chosen the
three below to ask out focus group about and below shows how many votes each got and out final decision.
This got a vote of 6/15. This was also taken
from dafont.com and was also very popular
with votes although it did not win. This was
chosen as one of our choices because not
also does it give a horror effect which is
what we are going for but out movie is
about the main character getting revenge
which is the name of this font, so it went
well with our idea and is something we
definitely wanted to consider.
This font idea got a vote 7/15. This idea is our
titles written with lipstick on a mirror this shows
out teen drame side of the movie but there will
be blood dripping down the mirror which will
also show our horror side of the movie. The
feedback from our focus group was mainly the
fact that it was a very unique idea which they
wanted to see come to life and that have
haven't seen an idea like this before. This is
what lead us to choosing this as out final font.
This font got a vote of 2/15. This font
idea was taken from dafont.com and
we mainly picked it because it looked
like a very creepy and scary font that
will attract those audiences who enjoy
a good horror movie. However the
feedback from out focus group was that
it didn't catch there eye and was a very
basic font used by many horror films
which is why we did not choose it as
our final one.

Shot list ( theatrical ) 1 Sarah
This is our shot list, this is very important for our final piece as it will make filming much more time efficient therefore it
allows us to find a clear distinction between the establishment, disturbance and montage in relation to the three act
structure.
There are several different black out titles and shots, this will not be filmed but we added it in to understand the structure of
our trailer (theatrical ), instead they will be edited into our final piece during editing.
Moreover, the shot list helps with ensuring out final piece flows smoothly with a strong sense of continuity, we hope to
achieve a strong sense of understanding in order for our potential target market to want to watch our movie.

Shot list for TEASER TRAILER Sarah
This is our shot list, this is very important for our final piece as it will make filming much more
time efficient therefore the shot list will help us to determine the type of shot, and how many
types of different shots we need in order to ensure that our final piece is of the highest
potential quality it can be .Moreover, the shot list helps with ensuring out final piece flows
smoothly with a strong sense of continuity, we hope to achieve a strong sense of
understanding in order for our potential target market to want to watch our movie.

Props and equipment (sarah) EQUIPMENT:
The props and equipment are
the physical materials in which
we need to create our final
piece. When creating a final
piece, there is a need for an
equipment and prop list in order
to be organised when it comes
to filming. This helps us to
develop a stronger sense of
commercialism as behind the
production of our trailers and
posters, we need to look into
the lights, cameras, props and
materials. I creates a table
requiring the specific materials
we need to use in order to film
our piece. Below shows who in
the group well being each piece
of equipment
This is a tripod, this will help
us when filming as we can
look into the scene where
they sit in a circle, this will
help make it much smoother
therefore making it easier to
watch with less of a
disturbance or shake in the
camera which would degrade
the quality. It will also help
keep the camera straight
during the filming of other
features such as the blood
when it is zoomed in.
This is a plug in lighting
system, this is necessary for
out final piece as it helps to
create the tone and mise-en
scene of it being a party
environment. This helps to
make it much more easier for
the audience to understand
the typical codes and
conventions of horror/ teen
drama, and helps to convey
the tone.
This is a camera, in our case
we can choose to use out
IPHONE 11 and Pro max in
order to keep our quality
high. Choosing to keep our
quality to a high standard will
ensure we can convey the
correct tone for our final
piece and ensures our trailer
does not degrade.
This is final cut pro, we also
have Imovie which are both
editing softwares which will
help us to make different
edits such as the blue effect,
and fast invisible cute to keep
a strong sense of continuity
furthermore making out final
piece look more aesthetically
pleasing and making our
target audience feel more
inclined to want to watch it.
This is a ring-light, this is to
help with our lighting and we
are choosing to use a product
like this to ensure that we can
portray the characters main
emotions such as fear when
they are being interviewed for
CCTV. This can help convey
their emotions of the common
codes and conventions of a
horror and drama film.

Props and equipment (sarah) PROPS ( clothes)
For the props, looking at the fashion, we will
add typical teenage clothes which are worn in
parties, such as colourful dresses. We took
inspiration from the show ‘ euphoria’ this is
because they have typical teenage clothing yet
with an edge of the idea of drug use. The
different colours used can represent different
meanings for example the colour purple can
represent pain and therefore shit represents
who the character is. Moreover the character
who wears a tight black dress will be the
victim, this is because looking at rick altman
colour representation the colour black
represents death therefore the main character
will be wearing a black dress, the other
teenage characters will be wearing typical
teenage clothes. Such as dresses.
Furthermore, the clothes used will be a
detective and police outfit, this is
because during the disturbance it will
change to show a police man and a
crime scene therefore we will need to
get a police outfit to clearly show the
audience that there has been an
accident / danger therefore creating a
sense of confusion which will make the
audience want to watch on and watch
the movie.
For more for the costume,
we need a different outfit
for the disturbance when
the teenagers from the
party are being
interviewed, we chose to
get oversized hoodies, big
sunglasses etc this will
help create a sense of
discreteness. Someone
knows they are guilty and
are choosing to somewhat
hide behind clothes and
glasses. This also
ensures that the audience
cannot see specifically
who it is to keep us from
revealing too much.

Props and equipment (sarah) PROPS
This prop used is a camera, this is
because it will be used by the teenage
character when they take a picture of
the victim which will transition into the
detective taking a picture of the crime
scene, this is a vital prop in our final
piece.
This is an unorganised messy desk-
space, we decided to keep this in our
props because it shows the typical
products which teenagers use, making
it more relatable to the target
demographic. We also chose to use
makeup during the establishment as it
can also be used in the crime scene to
create a sense of continuity throughout
our trailer.
This prop used is a body-bag, this is
going to be used in the disturbance of
the trailer where the detective is in the
room, we will not show who has been
killed, this will help keep confusion
which will create a need to fill in the
curiosity to the audience therefore
making them want to watch on and
want to watch our movie. The body
bag will be executed to make it look
like a real body, with blood dripping.
This is fake blood, this will be
dripping off the body-bag and will
also be placed around the room in
order to link to the common
conventions of horror which can help
to create fear amongst audience
members.
This other prop which we will add to
our final piece are fake drugs, this is
so that we can convey the non-
glorification of drug use. This will be
given around in the party
environment to show the dangers
and to some audience members who
have knowledge on what drugs do
foreshadows danger.
Furthermore, the final prop which we
will add to our trailer are plastic cups
to symbolise that the teenagers are
underage drinking. This immediately
foreshadows danger and enforces
the idea that the characters will be
under the influence which means that
there will be danger.
In conclusion the knowledge and
understanding of which props to use
will ensure that we are more
organised in being time efficient for
our final piece.

The ring light serves two
purposes the first being that it
illuminates the room further so
its better for filming and that it's
more fitting for the makeup
scene as lots of people use it
so that they are able to apply
makeup properly which will fit in
with the stereotypical teenage
girl theme
The colours of the
wall appear to be
grey which
represents dullness
and depressing
which sets the mood
for the rest of the
trailer as the
audience will see that
it is dark movie and it
also reflects the main
character's
personality.
The ‘hamsa’ which is known as
the evil eye and it is said to ward
off evil also creates a
foreshadowing sense to the
audience if hey look at it as it
does not fit in with the room
which create a sense of
foreshadowing that there is a
sense of evil.
Shots: 1,2,3,4,5
Location Recce (roba)

Again more
greys as it sets
the tone and the
horror theme
representing
lifelessness and
dullness.
The ‘love’ that is hung up
on the bed is seen a lot in
teenage girls room that is it
a stereotype so it is added
to fit the teen genre so that
it is attractive to the as they
will develop a personal
connection to the trailer
which will then might draw
them in into watching the
movie
There is a forever 21
shopping bag on the
bed which is in the
colour yellow which
represents caution
which would again
set the tone for the
rest of the trailer.
Shots: 2.3,4,5,26

The colours in this
arena also symbolise
both horror and drama
which will give the
audience an
understanding of what
had occurred.
The dead leaves on the
ground give a
foreshadowing
foreboding effect on
what will occur next
which might cause the
audience to feel
unsettled, especially as
they are seeing dead
leaves while seeing the
dead body of a girl.
Which will fit into both
drama and horror
codes of convention.
This bench was perfect
to convey rick Altmans
genre theory as it has
the semantics/
syntactics of both
horror and drama
movie, for semantics it
has the old creepy.
Shots : 17,18

For the ‘party scene’
we went to a place
called the youth hub in
which they had areas
such as this studio that
we are able to film in.
The colours of this area are very simple
and light which is beneficial as we turned
off the light and used tv to have party
lights by searching it up in youtube this
then set the tone that this is a party that
the individuals are partaking in, the light
colours was reflective enough that the
whole area had strobe party lights .
We placed the two chairs in the middle
aside so that the individuals who will
be acting are able to sit in the middle
in a circle together
shots:
8,9,10,11,12,13,14

We also decided to
crop the filming as you
can see that the walls
are made of glass and
you can see the outside
so while editing we will
make sure to not show
the glass walls.
This area was perfect
for a questioning scene
as it had plain white
tables and chairs which
is a common thing to
see at questioning
areas, this will then tell
the audience that the
killer is unknown.
For the ‘questioning
shots’ we went to a
place called the youth
hub in which they had
areas such as this
studying room that we
were are able to film in.
shots:
20,21,22,23,24

This fits the horror
movies conventions
as it will be dark,
which will then give
the audience a sense
of foreboding as to
what the girl is doing
there
For this shot we had
to think of a new
location that would
be entirely dark and
with no background,
so we chose this
area as it fits our
criteria as it will be
dark as there are no
light sources that
can enter the area.
shots: 30

Risk Assessment
Perspective
Risks?
Who is affected
by this risk?
Risk rating
/10 for
danger?
On hand control
measures?
What we can do
to fix it?
Who is
responsible?
The car in shot 6 of the
teaser and 29 in the
theatrical trailer may run
out of petrol while driving.
The main character
driving the car could be
injured if the petrol runs
out while shes driving.
8/10 - depending
on how serious
the injures are
Make sure her seat belt is
on at all times, and full tank
of petrol is filled prior to
filming the scene.
To fix this situation if it
happens we will have to
stop filming and depending
on how serious the injuries
are we may have to call the
ambulance.
The owner of the car is
responsible for filming the
tank.
In shot 17 and 18 there is
a large amount of fake
blood on the floor which
could maybe be a hazard
because someone might
Slip on the fake blood.
Who ever is in the set of
this scene, so the main
character, the policeman,
the investigator or the
camera crew (sarah or
roba).
6/10 - Someone on stand by
always watching and
warning people who walk
past the fake blood on the
floor, if this isn't possible
then a yellow caution sign
next to it is necessary.
A first aid kit will be in the
house incase someone
trips and injuries
themselves and in the
worst case scenario if the
injury is really bad (eg.
head is hit on hard floor)
then the ambulance will be
called.
All of us our responsible for
this situation since it was a
group decision to use fake
blood on the floor, however
if we will use a watch person
instead of a caution sign
then they are responsible for
this situation.
During shot 29 on the
theatrical trailer and 6 on
the teaser, the main
character will be driving a
car on the road. This
maybe a hazard because
trying to act while driving
could lead to a car
accident.
The main character will
be at risk since she is the
one in the car as well as
the person she may be in
an accident with (so any
other cars on the road
during this time).
9/10 The main character driving
needs to make sure her
seatbelt is on to prevent her
from having serious injuries
and she needs to make
sure she have 100% focus
and control while driving
and acting.
o fix this situation if it
happens we will have to
stop filming and depending
on how serious the injuries
are we may have to call the
ambulance.
The person driving is
responsible (the main
character) because she
needs to focus at all times
while driving and to be
cautious of other cars on the
road. Also they will have to
pay for the damages made
to the car.
Dana

In shot 20 character 3 will
be screaming extremely
loud. This may be a risk
because people in the area
may think something bad
has happened to her and
may not be aware that we
are acting. This may lead to
them having a panic attack
or calling the police.
The public is
affected by this
(anyone in the area
at the time).
5/10 To prevent this from
happening we will try either
go to the desert of an
extremely abandoned
location where there is no
one around.
Warn anyone who will
potentially call the police or
have a panic attack that we
are just filming and show
them our scrip for
evidence.
We are all responsible for this as
it was a group decision to have
the character scream.
In shot 8 and 9 we will be
showing the characters
using fake drugs eg. flour
or panadol to represent the
drugs. This could be a risk
because as the characters
are fake sniffing the flour it
may go up there nose or
characters fake swallowing
pills make choke on them.
The main character
and characters 2,3,4
and 5 in shots 8 and
9 of the theatrical
trailer from the
storyboard will be at
risk since they are
the ones fake using
drugs.
9/10 To prevent any choking of
flour sniffed we will practice
prior to the filming to make
sure we know the characters
are built to do this scene
without accidentally snorting
or choking on the drugs.
Ensure that if the flour goes
up there nose that there is
no harm (research).
Each character is responsible for
this as they should be very careful
when using the fake drugs.
In shot 4 and 27 (4 in the
teaser and 27 in the
theatrical trailer) the main
character will be watching
the girl through her window
whilst standing on the road.
This needs to be done to
show the main characters
personality is fearless.
However this has a high
risk of getting hit if by a car
coming past as the main
character is on the road.
Strangers walking
by, driver, anyone in
area
10/10 - Getting
hit by a car is
extremely risky
since it could
lead to serious
injuries and
worst case
death.
To prevent this from
happening we will have a
person standing a couple
miles further from the main
character to warn her if any
cars are coming to get of the
road. We will also be doing
this at a late time where there
will be barely any cars on the
road.
Go to an empty road We are all responsible for this
situation

Shooting schedule/contingency plan (dana)

Day Equipment needed What we plan to get done Who is needed Constituency plan
1 - Makeup bag
- Makeup products
- Costumes (outfits)
- Camera
- Spare Batteries for camera
- Portable Charger
- bracelet
In day one we plan to go to our first location which will be
located in a house and we will film the first five shots of our
storyboard (shot 1-5) where the girl is getting ready for the
party by putting her makeup on as she is looking into the
mirror. This should approximately take around 1 hour and a
half to film since there will be a lot of time taken for the
makeup artist to do the main characters makeup, costumes
to be put on, and time taken to prepare the scene behind
the scenes even though the shots will only be 20 seconds
long. As well as the fact that it may take a lot of tries to get
the perfect shots.
The main character is needed as well
and character 2 which will intrude into
the room as the main character is
putting her makeup on (shown in shot
4). As well as he makeup artist which
will be doing the main character
makeup for this scene since the trailer
does show the main character half-
way through doing her makeup but
behind the scene the makeup artist
will actually be doing this makeup
look for the party for her as the main
character is incapable of this skill. We
will also need the camera crew which
will be Sarah and Roba due to their
prior knowledge of shots and the way
we want the film to look.
In case the character 2 is unavailable
we will have a back up character one
call away to fill in for character 2 and in
the worst case scenario we will get our
camera crew to fill in and put on
character 2s costume.
2 - Fake drugs
- Costumes
- Camera
- Extra batteries for camera
- Tripod with wheels (for pan
movements)
- Party lights
- Cups (filled with fake alcohol)
- Water (to replace alcohol)
- Phone (prop used to take a
picture of girl)
- Portable charger
In day 2 we plan to film the next 8 shots so shot 8-15 from
the storyboard which will be the actual party scenes
showcasing the usage of drugs and effects it has on the
main character afterwards. The location for this scene will
be the same as day 1 we are still be in the house and we
will be filming in the living room and bedroom. It will
approximately take around 4 hours just because we are
filming more shots in this day and there are many
characters in these 8 shots and it will also it take many
shots and tries to the perfect one since we want to achieve
our highest potential, as well as the make-up artists having
to do each of the 6 characters makeup and preparing the
setting for the scenes. The reason we want to film all 8
shots in one day to prevent us having to continuously
change costumes and prepare the setting in each day so
its better to do these 8 shot that don't need any costume
change. T
In this scene we will need the main
character and characters 2,3,4 and 5
who aren't main character but more
so her friends that are in the party
with her and background characters.
We will also need the camera crew
which are Sarah and Roba and the
make-up artist.
To prepare for these characters being
unavailable at the time we will have
backup characters just a call away just
incase to make sure that we can still
have people to film with. In the worst
case scenario we will have to get our
camera crew or main character to
change into different costumes and act
as the friends. Another worst case
scenario is that if the camera crew are
sick or unable to make it we will
change the date.

3 - Camera
- Spare batteries for camera
- Camera prop
- Tripod
- Tripod with wheels
- Costumes
- Police costume
- Body bag
- Fake blood
- Pills
- Gloves
- Bracelet
On day 3 we plan to start the disruption part of our trailer it
will have a more short day of filming where we will only film
3 shot, which are 16-18 from the storyboard. W plan for it
to that take approximately 1 hour and 30 mins, the reason
we will only film 3 shots is because a lot of detail and time
goes into setting the crime scene up ready for filming. Not
only this but we feel it’s more efficient if we film all the
scenes with the same costumes and setting on the same
day to avoid extra time wasted changing into costumes on
the same day. This will also be filmed in the house same
location as the party.
A police man and investigator will
be needed on this day as well as a
character which will be in the body
bag and our camera crew which is
sarah and roba.
To prepare for these characters being
unavailable at the time we will have
backup characters just a call away
just incase to make sure that we can
still have people to film with. In the
worst case scenario we will have to
get our camera crew or main
character to change into different
costumes and act as the friends.
Another worst case scenario is that if
the camera crew are sick or unable to
make it we will change the date.
4 - Camera
- Spare batteries for camera
- Tripod
- Costumes
- Lamp
- Police costume
- Large table
- Two chairs
On day 4 we plan to shoot the different shots of the
questioning room from shot 20 to 24 on the storyboard
continuing and filming the disruption part of our trailer. This
will take us approximately 2 and a half hours to since we
need many different characters for these 4 shots.
In these scenes we will need a
police woman and character 2,3
and 4 as well as our camera crew
sarah and roba.
Worst case scenario we will have
to get our camera crew to act but
we will alway have backup actors
in case.
5 - Camera
- Spare batteries
- Costumes
- Tripod
- Portable charger
- car
On day 5 we will film shots 26-30 the last 4 shots of our
thaterial trailer. This will be the start of our montage and it
should take approximately 5 hours since it will take many
tries to get the perfect shot and we will have to go to many
different locations for shot 29 and 30. This is because shot
29 will be on a road and 30 will be in abandoned area so
the character is able to scream.
The main character, character
2,3,4 and 5 and the camera crew
(Roba and Sarah) will also be
needed. As well as the makeup
artists that will be working on trying
to get the main character to look as
scary as possible for shot 28 and
30.
In case of missing characters we
will have backup character just a
call away. We also will have a
backup car incase this one runs
out of petro or breaks down. In the
worst case scenario we will have to
get sarah and roba to change into
the different characters costumes.
6 - Camera
- Costumes
- Spare batteries
- Tripod
- Portable charger
On our final day we will start our teaser, we will only need
to film is shot 2 and 5 from our teaser storyboard because
we are using the same montage we filmed for our
theatrical trailer in our teaser. It should only take 2 hours.
We will also use this say to re-film any changes we have
made after editing and realising we might need to re-film
some shot that may have not turned out perfectly.
The main character and character
2 will be needed for these shot as
well as our camera crew and make
up artist to do the makeup of shot
5.
Just in case character 2 is
unavailable we will have backup
character just a call away if need
and in the worst case scenario the
main character or camera crew can
change into costume and replace
them.

Poster mockup first idea -sketch/idea (all)description (sarah)
For this poster mockup, I decided to add a title in
the top, this is because this is where the eye
naturally looks, to the top right corner. Moreover
the mise-en scene is that the character is using
lipstick to write the name, this is because looking
at our trailer storyboard, the establishment has
makeup therefore to incorporate this into our
poster means that we have a stronger sense of
brand recognition through makeup. We can see
that the lipstick used is the colour red as looking
at rick altman colour representation the colour red
symbolises anger, which the main character is (
she is angry ) therefore it gives the audience a
larger potential to understand the concept that she
may be the killer. LIPSTICK = TEEN more
relatable
We can also see blood stains smeared ( the title is
also smeared ) this is to link more to the common
conventions of horror. Having blood on the wall
also makes the audience understand that the
movie will involve some form of gory.
Moreover looking at the composition of
the movie poster, we have a dark
background, with a mirror on top, the
choice of the dark background again
links to colour representation and
symbolises death and sadness. We
chose to have a mirror as there will be a
reflection of the characters face in the
mirror, and the lipstick on the mirror is
very relatable to a teenager therefore
grabbing more of the audience's
attention.
We chose for the character who is the
main character to have an over the
shoulder shot, this is so that we can see
the character, but looking at the rule of
thirds, the character will be pushed to
the right side, this is so that the
audience can pay attention to the title to
make it more memorable.
Finally, looking at the bottom left, as the
audience move their eyes down the
poster, we can see that it will say
produced by and our production name
and the release date, this is informative
information which will help ensure the
success of the movie.
For this movie poster, we aim to have a
very shallow tone and depressing
aesthetic to help portray our final piece.
