We plan to film our footage for our film trailer during the February half term. We chose to film during half term as we would have longer to film and more daylight instead of filming after school where we would only have a limited amount of time. Another advantage for filming in the half term is if filming goes wrong we will have enough time to film again or add to what we already have.
We have drawn a storyboard that we are able to refer back to when filming but we haven’t yet finished the music to accompany our film trailer. Our reasoning for this is that we would like to put the trailer cuts together and then create the music around the timing and scenes that are taking place. We are going to use our storyboard as a guideline to avoid disorganization but as a group we do not think we will stick to it completely. We may add or take away certain cuts to improve the trailer. We have also put together an additional list of shots and angles we wish to include in our trailer to avoid making mistakes and ensure we are using a variety of shots.
When it came to choosing the equipment we are going to use, we all used a video camera for our AS coursework and feel that this is the best thing to use when filming our trailer and we will also be using a tripod. However we did use a flip to use our animaticsand found that this was a quick and easy way to film therefore we may be filming some scenes with the flip camera. At first we were worried that changing from the video camera to the flip may mean the footage quality may not be consistent, but I tested both the video camera quality and the HD flip quality and there was nothing in it. We are also going to use my DSLR camera to capture some shots for our magazine front cover as well as our poster as the quality of the pictures will be very sharp. We will also use the camera to capture ourselves filming as proof. We have also made a prop list towards the preparation of our filming so on the day we remember everything and stay organized.
