Poster Draft Feedback

I presented my poster to our target audience and this is the feedback I received.

After taking these comments into account I made some changes to the poster to the audiences preference because they are they people who's attention we want to grab through our posters. If we add everything that our audience wants to the poster then there is a better chance that they will like our poster.

This is my improved poster design.

FILMING DIARY!

FILMING DAY 1

this was the first day of filming when we shot the beginning of the scene of Lana in her bedroom getting ready for the camping trip. Filming for the first time was a definite challenge as it took some time to play around with the camera and understand how to use it properly. moreover, we experimented with lighting for the first time to see what position to keep the lighting in order for the camera to capture what was needed and make it look professional. There was many complications whilst filming for the first time as in the first run we forgot to use a mic. This wasn't good as our voices weren't as clear as we wanted it to and it needed to be projected in order for the audience to hear it properly. 


FILMING DAY 2!


This was the day we filmed the flashback of reminiscing the past of the teenage girls at school when they were younger bullying Naila who plays the villain. We had to get these external actors last minute as the year 7's in our school who were originally assigned to play the actors couldn't make it. This is why we gathered these small group of girls as quick as we could by arranging to talk to their parents. First, I didn't understand how difficult it was to film with young children as they was very giggly and kept forgetting their lines and making a fuss about everything. It also took time to clam them down as they was very jumpy and excited. However, we got the scene completed at the end and we tried various angles and different shots to see which one came out the best starting from a high angle and altering as we went on.

FILMING DAY 3!



 
 














This is the day we went out to film our establishing shot of the graveyard and film the conversation that Inaya was having over the phone to Lana. We managed to get a lot done on this day as we discovered a place in the graveyard to shoot very quickly. We played around with the camera settings and changed the colour of the picture into a more blue toned lighting to portray the vibe of a horror movie. Moreover, we managed to shoot when the sun was setting so it gave it a more creepy setting and atmosphere. On this day, we used various shots and camera movements from when Inaya  was walking towards the camera and talking on the phone to see what looked the best. We ended up using the long shot of Lana walking into the frame as we felt that the camera was too shaky as we followed her whilst she was walking in front of the camera. 

FILMING DAY 4!



 
 













Today we filmed the scene where Naila is on the swings singing her lullaby after she has murdered the girls. It emphasised how Naila has mental issues and there is something not right about her. We tried filming this in different ways such as walking towards her face with the camera as she is swinging on the swings as well as keeping the camera still and just focusing on her face as she sings the lullaby. We also shot it from behind where we could only see her back to the camera and she is swinging on the swings. Then the camera quickly cuts to a close up shot of her screaming into the camera which gives the audience a final fright. The wind in the background was perfect as it gave a good sound effect as well as moving all the park equipment making it look more freaky!

FILMING DAY 5!



 
 














This is the day we went into the graveyard to film the scene where Inaya gets taken away by the police officer. We used LED lights to get the perfect lighting as it was pitch black by the time we went out to film. We filmed the scene in different angles as we first filmed it as a mid shot, then we did a low angle canted shot so the camera was faced looking upwards towards the characters. Finally, we shot the scene from behind a tree to make it look like it was the villains Naila's point of view to show she is looking at the action.
