Story Board

In this session our group of four was split into two pairs. In this lesson I was working with Kaylee. Our job was to do the story board. We were give post it notes to draw each key frame. First we drew them in pencil just incase we did it wrong, we then had to go over it in pen so people could see the drawings more clearly. After we finished them, we then had to write down the shot and he action of each key frame. After the whole storyboard was finished we took a picture of both pages on photo booth.

Target audience member

These are the things that I think the target audience that would come to see my film would like. Some of the films include some scary films, I included them because I think if they would see our scary film then they must like horror/thriller genres. I think that the target audience would like the brands of clothes I have chosen as they are very poplar brands and lots of people like them. Also the target audience would like the clothes because the film only has teenagers in it and the most popular clothes brands that teenagers like are the brands I have put on.

'Find your tribe' quiz

In this session we did a 20 page quiz and answered lots of different questions such as picking our favourite television programmes and your favourite drinks. Other pages had lots of shop names on them with love and hate at the bottom of each shop, I then had to choose if i loved of hated them. My 'tribe' turned out to be 'Rah'.

'Trapped' mood board

In this session we had to make a mood board with pictures that are associated with our 'trapped' story. The first picture I used was the tent in a dark forrest, this was the most important image as in the story the group of friends are camping. Other images I added was the phone with no signal and a torch that has run out of battery, theses images were also important for my mood board because without both items the group feel trapped as they have no way of getting hold of anyone.  I also added some hooded figures because it puts across a sense of danger that the group will have to face.

'Trapped' initial planning

In this session we watched a short film called 'desserts' by Jeff Stark. This short film only had one character, Ewan Mcgregor. His character was shown strolling on a deserted beach and then came across a cake that was on the beach floor. He looked around to see if anyone was looking and then he took a bite. The suddenly a hook appeared into his cheek and got dragged into the see. we then got into groups to decide what our idea for the 'trapped' sequence was going to be. We each had a piece of paper which had a beginning section a middle section and a end section so we could easily plan out our ideas. After we had finished our story ideas we each pitched our story's to the group and decided what story line was the best one. We thought the best idea was Kaylee's idea because it had a good story line and we thought it would work well with the title 'trapped' The short story we are using is that a group of friends go camping and in the pitch black the torch goes out and their phones have no signal, they have no source of light or any contacts. The friends start to hear strange sounds the suddenly one of the group members disapears and the group get very scared as they realise that they are trapped in a forest without light or signal.
