This presentation is to show evidence of our filming techniques and ideas that we came up with in the process.

evidence of our work
during filming

2. Here is the set up for one of our
scenes. We shot it in our editing suite
because of the low key lighting and
desk. We printed off images like ‘The
Girl with the Pearl Earring’, a map of
Brighton and a blueprint. We decided
to print these because it links with the
crime genre (the blueprint). We also
wanted to show the location of where
the film is set (a map). Then we
printed a copy of the famous painting
as it’s included in our narrative.

3. This is an idea we had for our
poster. We thought that we
should use a still image from
the trailer to represent the
genre.
A comic book effect adds an
element of postmodernism.
We’d achieve this by editing
in Photoshop and adding a
filter.
We would make it black and
white because that’s typical of
crime.

4. Here are some
bulletpoint ideas for our
soundtrack and sound
effects.
We think Untwisted Nerve
would be a complimentary
soundtrack, it goes well
with the footage at the
beginning of our trailer.
This soundtrack is a copy
from Kill Bill.
We’d add sound effects that
emphasise some of the action,
for example, footsteps, a
gunshot, door opening and
closing.

5. This is an image which
shows how we shot the
tracking shot at the end of
the trailer. We had to
reshoot this part because
our initial ideas had
changed.
We chose to film here
because of the
background of bricks.
We didn’t want any
distraction from the
main action of the
character walking.

6. Here are the props we
used for some of our
shots. We got a jiffy bag
and stuffed it with paper
to make it look like
money. Then we painted
a frame to make it look
expensive and stuck a
print out of a painting to
it.
These props allow the audience
to begin questioning the trailer.
What’s in the jiffy bag?
Why is she selling the painting?

7. This is an image which
was taken during filming.
We used a tripod to
ensure the camera was
steady. We also
rearranged the classroom
so that no posters were
visible in the shot.
We used this location because it was of
easy access. We didn’t use all the
footage filmed for our trailer because it
revealed too much of the narrative. We
decided to only use the high angle view
of the dealer passing over the money.
This enabled a sense of enigma for our
film trailer.
