Poster

After doing our final production shots at my house we started to think about our poster for our piece. We already noticed that thriller based posters are dark and have basic text below, usually with a caption or logline. Currently we thought our main picture, which we could blend in with a black background on photoshop, would be of the cupboard. Due to the fact it represents our film a lot and could connote mystery and danger. This is just a general and basic idea for starters.

In different camera angles:



Us Filming in Action

During all of the scenes we recorded we took photographs to show how we did some of the specific shots and how role in each. These include; running, car and dragging Hannah towards the cupboard.

Editing; Two

Update of Short Film; Twenty Three

Today when me and my team looked at the footage we conducted the previous week and realised that we missed a shot of Hannah getting up after tripping. Also, we realised that the figment of the taxis imagination was looking directly at the camera rather than the taxi driver and that some shots do not look effective with the camera lens being dirty. On top of this, we had people in the background.

This means that yet again we have to record some shots. In the mean time we continued doing some of our editing.

Update of Short Film; Twenty Two

We conducted further filming containing the running of the taxi driver, the shots of the figment of her imagination (and the shots of the car seat) and also the weapon. Due to us not being able to find a toy gun that looks like a small handgun, we decided to use a knife instead. Also, for the figment we put make-up around her eyes to enforce the idea that she is dangerous, cruel and abnormal.

After, we went to record the shots in the house which include the stairs and dragging into the cupboard. To decrease the seconds in the short film we decided to not track the taxi driver dragging Hannah and positioning her in the cupboard to a few cuts in exchange.

Update of Short Film; Twenty One

Today we looked at the forecast and it was predicted that it would have sunny outcasts. With us being available most of the day, especially during the lunch period where there would be more light, that we would record some scenes.

However, only one volunteer was available so we decided only to do the dialogue shots in the car of the taxi driver and (redo) the protagonists. We decided to do the shots of the taxi driver running and showing the gun in the car another day to us needing to receive one. After a while we decided the 26th November as another volunteer is available (even though not the original as they are not free in the near future).
