Diary Post

Some filming has been done over the weekend, I decided to get what I think to be the hardest part to the trailer out of the way, which is the rave. We set up the location at my sister's house by clearing the room so the scenery doesn't look like a room in a house and we used strobe lighting and disco lights to create the scene. I got some nice shots of my actress using one of our props, a bottle of vodka and close up shots of her character. I continue to film this week and obviously be more adventurous with the location, so we're planning a trip to Putney and hopefully capturing footage of the location by Putney Bridge, train station and Doverhouse Estate. I want this in my trailer to show that this set in London. However as my genre is historical drama and my time period is the 90's I must ensure that I don't film things that don't fit into the time period.

Planning/ Costume

Planning my actresses's costume for filming today, I have brought along a suede brown bomber jacket, Adidas trainers, fitted black jeans and a Chocker. Costume obviously being an important factor to my genre, to just refresh my memory of what would be suitable costume I looked back at my Mood Board. This is my Actress in her costume...

Planning/ Target Audience

For my target audience research I used Pinterest as my source. I typed in tags, that were relevant to the type audience I'm aiming to draw in.  Shane Meadows was the first name I put into the search engine I found most pages on Pinterest from the search were film lovers, who had a lot of pins of movie posters and actors. The profiles mostly belonged to people within the age of 25-35 years old.

The same age group applied to my search "90's Rave" the profiles belonged to mostly men also. I think these profiles show an interest in culture and particular era's, very British images were found proving my audience would  be a national one, because it's a subculture which was more dominant in the UK and emerged from Britain.

Searching Jack O'Connell I found profiles like this one. Profiles of people who enjoy a variety of British TV as well as films which have been very successful in the box office as well as independent films. This makes me think of the audience who I want to target for my magazine cover. It will be a niche of people who love film just a bit than others do and it's seen a hobby for them.

Planning/ Preliminary Task

This is our final edit of our preliminary task. We had written down the list of shots and angles we wanted just to get us back in the hang things for filming our trailer which is why it's not as polished as we would like it to be. But we incorporated idea's from what we've seen through trailers we've analysed, therefore our soundtrack changed as the narrative developed through the trailer and we had inter titles also helping the story come together. Learning from this task we will obviously use more locations to add variety to the story line and create more depth to the characters and narratives. Also I will be using an Iphone 5S for my filming, because I believe the quality is better than the flip camera we have used here. Also if I want to do additional filming my phone will be at hand at all times.
