Changes made while filming.

While filming we have changed a few of the angles of the shots and who acts in what shots, as it made more sense and showed the actions that occurred in the scenes better, one particular shot that we change the angle of was shot 9 as it was originally a long shot, but while filming we realised that it was hard to make out the dialogue in the scene and the actions made, we believe these improvements will help to make our trailer more effective.

Filming

New storyboard

New film trailer lasts 1 minute 30 seconds.

New Film Trailer Plot.

·         First shot is of the mum, Jack and Emily sat around the dinner table sat around playing a game and joking around (seems to be an average single parent family)

·         Close up of Jacks saying “yes, I won a hotel!

·         Over the shoulder of the mums face as she says “Oh that reminds I’m going on a spa weekend next week, so you’ll have to stay and look after Emily.” They respond with “Ok”

·         Cut to a close-up shot of Emily’s eye looking out of the shadows, she is cowering under the stairs, her eye suggests that she is frightened.

·         Jump cuts to a shot of Jacks arm reaching round the stairs, Emily cowers further in.

·         He then jumps out saying “Found you!”

·         She leaps into his arms and clings onto him in a strange way, she sharply exhales to show that she is relieved.

·         Fades into the living room where Emily is stroking/holding Jacks jumper (leaning against each other in a comforting and protective way)

·         His girlfriend enters the living room and as Jack gets up to give her a hug, Emily grabs hold of his Jumper.

·         When he says “Let go Emily” she reluctantly releases before looking away sad.

·         Cuts to a shot of Jack stood by the door, you can hear a drunken man outside loudly, before Jack says “Not again Dad!”

·         Cuts to a shot of Emily stood in the doorway saying “Jack who’s there?”

·         The Dad recognises her voice and shots out Emily with anger laced in his tone.

·         Her face changes to frightened as Jack says “Go” she runs and hides in her usual spot under the stairs.

·         You hear shouting from the drunken dad before he screams, “I’ll be back for you two!” and smashes a bottle.

·         Emily cries under the stairs.

·         Cuts to when the mum leaves to go on the spa weekend.

·         Jack invites his friends around.

·         Emily suggests playing hide and seek.

·         As Emily is counting it cuts to a flash back where she is cowering and pleading for her dad to stop

·         Jack heroically steps in and says “Stop dad!”

·         As she is counting down there are a variety of different shots.

·         Flash shots of:

§  Emily looking around.

§  Mirror/shadows shown

§  Door slamming behind Emily, Jack is frantically trying to get in.

§  Running scene of Amy running up the stairs.

§  Lauren and Jack stood in the kitchen behind the table as the lights flicker off.

§  Lauren finds Amy strangled in a room.

§  Two shot of Jack and Tom hiding under the table, Jack says to “shh” as they hear a loud bang.

§  Dragging shot of Tom (extreme close-up of his hands)

·         Final shot is a medium close up of Emily crying as she’s rubbing her neck, she has the same strangled marks as Amy had (unclear whether it is present time or a flashback.)

 

 

 

Examples of Billing Blocks.

No.1

No.2

No.3

No.4

 

Looking at all four of these billing blocks it has given me a good idea of what I would like mine to look like, I am going to incorporate parts of each billing block and merge them into my own. I will mix both colours white and red for my text on a black background; I like the logos and companies names in no.2 and would that idea for my own. However I think I will use no.1 as a base for my structure as it is the clearest of them all and is not over complicated using specific parts of these will help to produce a realistic and conventional billing block for my specific genre.

Final notes for improvement about my film poster.

·         Create a mise-en-scene, possibly where she goes to hide for protection.

·         Complete Billing Block.

·         Change the tag-line, gives away too much of the plot: - focus more on the hide and seek element of the film.

·         Concentrate more on the website, is it to do with the production company or will it just solely be on the film. 1) www.DeprivedFilm.co.uk 2) www.SkirridCreations/Deprived.com

·         She looks to tidy, make her hair a bit ruffled and nails dirty, to show her looking more distressed.

·         Take the photo slightly of angle.

 

 

 

Textual analysis of completed film poster.

1)      The title ‘Deprived’ suggests that someone is being deprived of something either love or attention.

2)      The main image is of a young girl hiding her face with her hands; she is peaking through the one hand and in the eye you are able to make out a reflection of someone or something and the fact that her eye is widened suggests that she is scared of the person in her reflection. It leaves the mystery of who the person is and what they’ve done to make her so terrified.

3)      The poster suggests that the genre of this film is a horror/psychological thriller; this is shown by the use of colour scheme (black, red and white.) It sets up the narrative of hiding as some short of protective shelter from someone or that she is running away from the person in the reflection, the girl also looks to be the main character and victim.

4)      There are no film stars names this suggests that they are not well known, however this could work to the film maker’s advantage as it becomes less obvious who the survivors and victims will be therefore creating more suspense for the audience.

5)      The main character is shown in a close-up shot of her face, she is shown clearly and is surrounded by a background, so that she stand out more and can be seen properly, her facial features/expressions show fear, you can tell this by the petrified look spread across her eye. It is evident that she is quite young as her face remains relatively bare of make-up and her hair is style in a youthful way.

6)      The tag-line “Jealousy is the grave of attention” suggests that the attention that they crave is driven by the fact that they feel jealousy towards that person, the word ‘grave’ could show that there will be some sort of death during this film.

7)      It has a website, showing the audience that they are able to access things to do with this movie, encouraging interactivity and selling the film to their target audience, who enjoy using the internet.

8)      It offers the audience an intellectual puzzle as they are left wondering who the reflection in the eye is and why she’s afraid of it. The audience also experiences emotional pleasures toward the girl as she looks young and vulnerable and is making direct eye connect to audience making them interact with her character on a more personal level.

9)      The USP of this film poster is that there are no film stars names plastered on the cover and the main image is solely of a young girl when usually she would be accompanied by a male suggesting that she is a strong person which contradicts the way she is presented on this poster.
