Storyboard

This is our storyboard that we have created to show the storyline of our trailer. As a group we decided that putting the pictures into imovie as it would allow the audience to see how the trailer was going to flow and the different shots we choose to use. We choose to put on the storyboard the use of quicks cuts even though you cant see it on our stroyboard, the reason for these quick cuts is because we want it to look like there is so much happen and you cant really stop it. What we also decided to put on our storyboard is the sounds and noise that the audience is going to hear while the trailer is going, the reasoning behind this is we wanted the audience to get a feel of what is going to be happening and how the noises are going to add to the trailer.

Production schedule

Here is our Production schedule this is showing what we are doing for the next couple of weeks, where we will be filming and what we are going to need for each of the days. it also shows which days we will be editing and what we will be editing. As you can see most of our filming is going to be done all at the beginning of January this is manly because it will allow use to get the filming out of the way but also it will give us more time to edit the trailer and if we need to go film more footage we will have time to go out and re-film parts if we fill the need to. When you look at the dates of when we are filming you can see they have a lists of times of when we are going to be filming so are in the day time and some are later in the day, the reason why we chose this is because we felt like we should have a range of different times to show variety of different lighting within our trailer. Sometime during our filming we have decide that we wanted to film at night so we are going to need some artificial lighting and this is a important factor for use to have because if we don't have the lighting ready for use it is going to be really hard for use to film some of the scenes that we will need. When it comes to the editing of our trailer we had made sure that someone is going to be editing the footage and someone is editing the music, the reason why this is because the music is one of the most important parts to the trailer because the music it wants sets the face to the trailer but also the mood.

Film Schedule

Here is our planning schedule for the coming month of January. The boxes that are coloured blue are the days that our group is going to be blogging and editing and the squares that are purple are the days that we are going to be going out filming. As the months carrys on we will add more dates to the calendar 

Narrative

For the narrative of our flim we came up with alot of diffferent ideas. as we was going through the the ideas and deciding what one would we like to choose, we had to think about a range of different factors before we put together trailer ideas for example we had to think about what are target audience would prefer watching, what ideas would challenge us as a group and what idea best fitted our genre. After thinking of a range of ideas we put them all together like you see in the blog before and started to go through them talking about which ones we liked the best and how we would produce that idea when we came to filming, in the end the idea that we went with for our trailer is:

A group of troubled teenagers witness an event that has potentially affected the way they behave from now, an incident so traumatic that the teenagers cannot shake off the feeling of permanent despair. In order to clear their minds and conscious the teens decide a camping trip is in order in the local wood that is far away from the news in the local town. The woods seem different, quieter and almost serene and dissimilar from what the group had expected as if it was already ready for them. This is the last year the groups are going to be together before they go off to university and decide to film their entire trip to create a lasting memory that they can share between them after the trip is done. The group’s arrival takes a sudden turn when one of their friends goes missing, his decision to follow another figure into the deeper woods will now determine the future of his other friends. The teens are aware that if they separate they will cover more ground and decide to partner up for protection and each will now face challenges that could make them or break them. The incident that they had decided to ignore has now consequently caught up with them and will soon destroy them in way that they believed could not be possible. Their families and friends will now be challenged and their decision to go to the woods now means they cannot warn their family or protect them either. The challenges that they will go through will determine if the families are safe or gone.

The pattern of challenges makes the friend realize that someone close to them has set them up, someone close to home. Their deepest and darkest fears are coming for them just as they thought things cannot go worse.
