Research and Planning: Pitch

There seems to be an issue with this video

Research and Planning: Publication Plan (Magazine)

Research and Planning: Shot List (Poster)

Based on my drafts I will need: 

- A close up of a limp hand lying in a patch of grass, whilst holding a numbered card. Supposed to look like a dead person's hand.

or

- A Medium close up of the main actors (Protagonist and antagonist) grappling each other looking like a fight. Mainly to show a conflict.

Research and Planning: Social Networking Feedback on Trailer Ideas

Beth put picture of her makeup work on Kristian on Facebook for feedback. The feedback was she got told that it would better if only one eye was black.

Research and Planning: Film Poster (Draft 2)

This shows the killer whom is stood in the middle of the road in the rain, since this would be an iconic part of our trailer to show his freedom, since this would be an iconic part of our trailer it would be an iconic image to have on the front cover of a magazine. (Image to be added when available)

Research and Planning: Proposal 1

4^th Day:

Someone Wife / Family member being held hostage. The husband is told to rob a high amount of money from a list of banks other they will kill their loved one.

4 days to collect the money up, they have to find a way of collecting it without being caught or hurt.
Snap chats to show the condition of the family member and each banks layout, also videos on it this is to use recent technology’s in the trailer in order to keep it up to date.

Gets caught robbing the last bank on the 4^th day, this is the second plot point, where he has to escape with his money and give the money to the kidnappers, the police follow him and capture the kidnappers.

Research and Planning: Proposal 2

Ace Is High:

A detective whom bored and has no money receives an email which states “Its time you played a game” of which he ignores. Thinking it's just an advertisement off some games company.

A series of pictures start being sent to him of dead people, he quickly realises that he is in the middle of killing spree. This causes him to start investigating the murders.

  Each victim has a card on them starting from 2 of spades up to the king, each time the victim is someone closer to him. (This is to signify that each card is a higher stake of person. We thought of it this way in order to create tension in the plot.)
The murderer is a sociopath and therefore feels no empathy for those who he kills. 

After a discussion we decided that this would be the best plot to make a trailer out of due to our inexperience of making trailers and our short time frame.

Research and Planning: Costume and Props for Poster (Draft 2)

Since this is just the killer stood in the rain he would be wearing:

- A white / black shirt (Buttons opened up near the top)

- Jeans / Black Pants (Whatever we decide to use for the interview scene)

- Trainers / Shoes that you could expect someone to be able to run in effectively.

We would need:

- A hosepipe and a water supply (In case there is no rain that particular day)
- A cover to keep the camera and the cameraman dry (In an attempt to Avoid any damage to the camera)
- (Grit salt to go over the watered patch which we made, due to the cold weather at the moment this should be a concern)

Research and Planning: Costume and Props for Magazine (Draft 2)

Since this shows the struggle for justice and superiority between the main 2 characters. ( The killer and the detective). I plan to make the setting a white room, with the shadow coming in it will make it look like its more of a struggle of good and evil and will compliment the picture effectively.

The clothing and props that the detective would have would be:

- A suit Jacket

- A white shirt

- A Tie (colour subject to change)

- Smart looking shoes

- Black pants

- Possibly for props a gun which is shown under his jacket while his arms are raised

-And cuffs (Either under his jacket too or attached to both the detective and the cellars wrists)

The killer would have:

- A white / black shirt (Buttons opened up near the top)

- Jeans

- Trainers / Shoes that you could expect someone to be able to run in effectively.

- It might look effective if the killer has a blooded knife or a blooded Ace of spades visibly hanging out of his pocket in an evidence bag, looking as if he's taken back the evidence. This would also connotate that he may be caught and against a wall but he either got a plan up his sleeve or that he's not totally defenceless yet.

To be entirely honest I think this is the best draft I have so far and will look fairly effective if I create it properly with all of the props in pace in the ways I have stated above. 

(Pictures will be added soon)

Research and Planning: Film Magazine Draft 2

Detective holding up the Murder (Has shadow on his face, covering up his eyes, mainly showing his grin). Shadow comes from the corner of the page and moves from top right corner to bottom left corner.


I may go with this as the magazine rather than my first draft, this gives me the opportunity to use my first draft for the poster which I stated that it would look better for. Since this can be used for a better image and I could also use the image better to describe the headline. Which I think would be quite effective to insist on a struggle between the character and their actors would be interviewed discussing this. (I'm trying to say that the lead actors would be interviewed about their characters as the main story in the magazine)

Research and Planning: Make Up Test

Beth made Kristian look pretty. She attempted to make Kristian look like he had been beaten up.

Research and Planning: Costume and Props List For Magazine (Draft 1)

Very similar to the Costume and props for the Film poster.

Research and Planning: Costume and Props List for Film Poster (Draft 1)

Draft 1 for the film poster will be of the detective sat against a white stone wall (Essentially in the interrogation room)

He would have:


- A smart tray suit, with a white shirt and a Tie ( This will look fairly scruffy as if he's been in a fight reccently)








- Blood stained cards which would be scattered on the floor.

- The detective would be wearing cuffs on his right wrist which are to just dangle there.



- He may be holding a gun in his hand (I may be able to photoshop smoke coming from it, so it looks like he's just shot it)









- Smart shoes









- Smart pants

Research and Planning: Auditions Poster

We made an audition poster for our trailer. The main roles we are after filling are dead people, police, and the detective.
