Protagonist Photoshoot




Within this photoshoot i wanted the protagonist to turn around as though the 'monsters' where there, looking shocked and petrified at the same time.


















I wouldn't use this shot as i prefer a close up, as you can see the facial expression clearly. To me it doesnt seem like a film poster, as the composition looks boring.













I wouldn't use this shot as the hands weren't positioned the way i wanted them to. I wanted them slightly more down as though she was slowly lowering her hands after being in a frustrated mood.










I don't think she looks scared in this picture, more like a casual look over the shoulder. I was trying to have different shots of what the protagonist may be doing.
This has to be one of my favourite photos as she does look petrified, and the shot is composition well, yet i would have liked a grave stone in the background, so the audience would know where she it. I think the shot has been taken at a reasonable range so it isn't too close nor too distant.

Male Photoshoot




I like the composition of this photograph, i dont know whether to use it for a magazine cover or a film poster. Unfotuately it is slightly fuzzy to use which is a shame.











I like how each of the actors are looking in a different direction showing a difference in personality. I like how their positioned as well, suggesting carefree and relaxed. I feel this would be a great photo for a front cover magazine, as it looks like there an interview of them and their feelings towards the film they were involved in.
This is unusable as it is far too fuzzy.
I like this photo yet i wouldn't use it as the person on the far left isn't positioned the way i wanted him to, also i didn't want them to smile, just casually look at the camera.
This has to be my favourite photo as the composition is excellent and it is very clear and precise. Even though you can see the flash on the front person, i can always edit it on photoshop

Filming

I've managed to finish off all the footage involving the actors/actress. All i need to do now is set the tripod and camera up so i can film a sunset. Whilst i was filming, i managed to take some photo's for the film poster and magazine. Some of the shots are fuzzy which is a shame, but thankfully some have turned out really well.

Re-do

The Sunday before going back, I did some more shooting. I arrived an hour earlier than the first shooting and it went better than the first time; as I had learnt my lesson. Even though it didn't look like dusk, I hope I can change it with the editing suite. I also used a different camera which allowed me to change the darkness. In addition to this, one of the people that were acting for me brought a larger tripod so this meant I didn't have to hold it. This kept the camera more stable than if I had to hold it, therefore making it look more professional. I hope to film this coming Sunday to finish off the male actor parts and do a photoshoot for the film poster and magazine front cover. This then means i can concerntrate on the other half of the film trailer with the protagonist, hopefully next thursday will be the time to film and then i'll be ready to edit the footage. It will be filmed within the cemetry like the rest of the footage, i need to get the tri-pod i used last time from one of the actors, as it is taller than the one i possess.

Filming

Last Sunday i started to do some filming, but to my surprise it didnt turn out as well as i had hoped. My film is based just before it turns dark, the camera didnt pick the lighting up very well and i could hardly see a thing. This means i will have to film it when it's low cloud and in the afternoon. The shooting may have not have turned out as well as i had hoped, but this means i can learn from it, this sunday i will be doing it again. Also what i learnt was that some shots which i thought would be very easy to accomplish took longer than i thought, and which lead me to either changing the shot or positioning it differently.
