For our film magazine front cover designs we chose to have our media production advertised on the front covers of 'TOTAL FILM' and 'EMPIRE' magazine, as they are two of the most popular film magazines and are also targeted at a more younger audience (which ties in with our production being targeted at a younger adult and older teenage audience). We analysed a copy of 'TOTAL FILM' magazine and a copy of 'Empire' magazine, so we knew how to follow the conventions of both of the magazine's layouts when creating our own sketches. Here are our rough sketches of our film magazine front covers.

The Changes That Were Made To Our Original Storyboard

After me and April decided what order we wanted the following camera shots to appear in, we created a new storyboard. We did this so that we could analyse how our original order of shots had changed, and look at which camera shots we changed or removed from our production in order to allow the camera shots to 'fit' our production.

Our Institution Logo

Instead of first creating a institution logo together, me and April decided to go off and come up with various ideas of designs for our institution logo separately. We then came together to display each other's sketches of institution logo designs to see which one we liked the most, and felt would be the most effective and eye catching for our audience. We decided that we would use my institution logo design of the lighthouse, with the institution name 'Baylight Productions'.

Here are April's institution logo sketches

Here is our completed institution logo 

As April is more experienced at using Photoshop than I am, she had the most control over the editing of our institution logo. Like with the previous institution logos that I had analysed such as the 'Warner Bros' institution logo, (who manipulated their logo with the Harry Potter franchise as each of the film's narratives got more darker) we also manipulated our logo to create a black and white look so that it would fit the disequilibrium that our film trailer is centered around. As our trailer is set on the Isle Of Wight, we thought it appropriate to use an image of The Needles lighthouse as our template, which we then customised using Photoshop. April also came up with the creative idea to have a light shining out of the lighthouse to present the name of our company 'Baylight Productions'.

The Finished Editing Of Our Film Trailer And Creation Of Our Film Poster

Since my last blog post me and April have been continuing to edit our film trailer so that our media follows the codes and conventions of a Teen Drama film trailer, and represents a clear demonstration of a Teen Drama film trailer. After being inspired by the various editing techniques from a selection of Teen Drama film trailers that we have analysed, such as 'Cherrybomb' and 'Kidulthood', we began applying and experimenting with various editing effects. We also took note of the different soundtracks and other non diegetic sounds that were being used in the trailers, and began listening to similar music tracks that would flow with our film trailer's narrative.

In terms of creating our film poster, me and April decided to go with my first poster design of having Lewis and Nico's (Nathan and 'The Other Nathan') faces consuming the majority of the poster, with various stills taken from the film trailer placed below the character's faces. However we decided to go against this idea slightly when it came down to making the final decisions about our poster design. Instead we decided to still have Lewis and Nico's faces dominating the film poster, but chose not to include the stills taken from the film trailer. We made this decision as like my second poster design we wanted to create the 'simple yet effective' look. We also felt that with the different styles of font and the character faces, the poster would become overcrowded and wouldn't be as appealing and effective as we would want it to be for our target audience.

Consent For The Music Track That Was Used In Our Media Production

Apex Rise who produced and created the music track 'Thirsty' knows April's boyfriend on a personal level, which therefore allowed him to ask Apex Rise if it would be possible to use his music track for our production. He was more than happy to give us full permission to use the track, however the document stating that we could use the track was not presented in a more formal manner.

Choosing The Music For Our Media Production

With our media production, me and April have decided to use one royalty free piece of music that fits and emphasises the mood of the narrative and creates a sort of 'youth' feel for our target audience. To help us make a clear and positive decision, we have analysed a total of four royalty free tracks so we can then analyse them in more depth, which will help us decide on our chosen track that will be used for our production.

Track Options

  1.Dubstep Trip
  https://www.jamendo.com/en/track/1118684/dubstep-trip

The track opens with a high pitch, slightly echo sound before launching into a serious of 

sounds that have been clustered together to create a 'dubstep', rave style music track. As the first serious of sounds are blended together,  emotions and concepts such as happiness and safety are drawn from the music, as the music track creates a positive feel for the audience. At around twenty seconds, and again around 46/7 seconds into the track, more sounds are introduced into the music track. The mood slightly changes after these sounds are added by introducing the track as a happy, upbeat piece of music that allows more feelings and thoughts to flow from the audience, to becoming more specifically categorised to 'nightclub'/'rave' style music. The sudden change in the music style also suggests that this piece of music is being aimed at younger audiences. This music track would be an ideal option for the opening title sequence of our film trailer and for the earlier house party scenes.

   2. Hazardous- Jungle War
   https://www.jamendo.com/en/track/1059293/hazardous-jungle-war

The track begins almost straight away with a series of different sound effects that have quickly been introduced and applied to the music track. Like the previous music track that I have analysed this track is specifically categorised to 'nightclub' and 'rave' style music, suggesting that this track is targeting more younger audiences. The begins at a normal pace before gradually increasing to becoming more fast paced as we get further into the track. This allows the audience to be 'taken in' and be allowed to 'feed in to' the track slowly before being thrown into the sudden change in pace of the track. The sudden change in pace also takes the audience out of their place of comfort and allows feelings of tension and suspense to arise from the audience. Like the previous track, the change of pace in the music could represent the sudden changes in Nathan's mental state of mind. This music track would be ideal to use for the earlier house party scenes.

    3.   Thirsty- Apex Rise
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Kqb8ldONx4

    Unlike the previous three tracks that I have analysed, this track 'Thirsty' isn't as dark and as fast  paced, and represents a more 'youth style' sound. The track also mirrors 'nightclub' or 'rave' style music which fits well with the party scenes and the drinking scenes that feature in our trailer. The more slowed pace of the music track creates a more relaxed and calm atmosphere for the audience, and allows the audience to be more 'fed into' the shots, rather than being more 'thrown' into a scene. The use of explicit language that features in track also fits with our film trailer, as minor use of explicit language is used in our production, and is also a stereotypical key feature of teenage language. The pace only picks up towards the end of the track, suggesting that drama and mayhem is about to occur. This would also fit our production, (in terms of looking at the order of the following shots) when the disequilibrium of our trailer's narrative takes place. 

After re-listening to all three of the following tracks, me and April decided to choose 'Thirsty' by Apex Rise. We decided to use this track for our media production as we felt that this track represented the 'teenage culture' more accurately, with it's use of explicit language and 'nightclub'/'rave' feel. We also liked how the track slowly took the audience into each shot and allowed them to be introduced to each of the main characters that feature in our production. Referring to the point I made earlier about the track, we liked how the track didn't change to a more fast pace until it was nearing the end, and fits the following order of our selected camera shots. 

Poster Influences

Before creating my two film poster designs, I researched into various film and television posters that were similar to our media product in terms of genre to give us some inspiration for our own film poster. Below are a few of the film and television posters that I discovered.

Rough Sketches Of Film Poster Designs

Here are the two rough sketches of the poster designs for mine and April's media production.

1.

Our first idea was to have a close up shot of Lewis and Nico's (Nathan and 'The Other Nathan) face to take up the majority and be the main focus of the film poster, whilst having screenshots of certain shots of the other characters featuring near the bottom of the film poster. Taking on board what we found when we analysed various editing effects used in similar film trailers, we chose to use bold font for the name of the film. We also made the creative decision to have reviews of the film to be place just under the character's face, so that it would be the next thing that our target audience would notice. Our film's slogan is made to appear as a question to the audience, allowing them to question themselves and what they are seeing on the film poster. Following one of the codes and conventions of film posters, we chose to have the film's billing credits and website address at the very bottom of the poster. 

2.

Our second idea was designed to appear a lot simpler, but effective. The decision to make a brain the main focus of the film poster was made to try and represent and relate to our film's narrative (in terms of looking at how our lead male character is suffering from a mental disorder, and everything that has been going wrong from him stems from this type of mental health issue). We made the creative choice to have the name of the film appear like it was being spelt out by using various pills, which again links to the narrative of our film production, as the lead character is heavily involved in the drink and drug party scene. The film's slogan appears more as a statement, almost warning the audience of the danger that is to come. We slightly broke one of the codes and conventions with this poster design by having the name of the film placed at the top of the film poster rather than near the bottom. Like with the first film poster design, we chose to have reviews of the film placed either side of the image of the brain so that the reviews wouldn't go unnoticed by the audience.

The Progress Made In Terms Of The Editing Of Our Film Trailer

After spending the majority of the day on Thursday 9th of April editing our film trailer, we have made some changes in the order of our selected footage, and have now managed to arrange our chosen footage in the order that we want it to appear. We have also managed to cut down certain clips, so that we manage to follow one of the codes and conventions of film trailers of creating a film trailer that does not run over the time limit of 2 minutes. We have also made the creative decision to apply text to certain shots of the trailer. Before we made these creative changes we watched a series of film trailers that belonged to the same and were from similar genres to our production, to analyse the order and layout of their selected footage. We made the decision to watch various film trailers before we started our editing so that we would get a better understanding of how to mirror and follow the layout of Teen Drama trailers.

Trailer Influences:Editing Techniques

Now that me and April are at the editing stage of creating our media production, I have been looking at various other film trailers (that are similar or can relate to the narrative of our film trailer) that demonstrate a series of creative editing choices and will help to inspire our own media product. The first film trailer that I thought would give us some inspiration is the 'Cherrybomb' trailer that I have previously analysed.

The trailer has applied a series of different editing effects to the production and distribution companies involved, such as a slow 'fade in' effect, which is then followed by a much more faster 'fade in' effect. The company name 'Generator' appears three times in between a series of quick jump cuts, which allows anticipation felt by the audience to build up, due to the sudden change of pace in the trailer. There are some creative editing choices that have been made with the purpose to disorientate the audience, such as the scattering of the letters of the film title 'Cherrybomb' in the swimming pool, which could have been done to represent the disorientated state of the film's narrative as a whole. Another creative editing choice designed to disorientate the audience was the applied sepia effect to certain character driven camera shots. The pace of the film trailer is also slowed down for these shots, so that the disorientated state of the characters is emphasised to the audience and makes the character/s in the scene seem trapped in their own world and secluded from society. The creative choice of applying a black and white fuzzy line effect appears after the first showing of the 'Generator' company name, almost mirroring an old fashioned 'TV style' effect. A series of editing effects has been applied to the text that appears in the trailer, such as visible text messages from the characters, and the names of the actors starring in the production.


The second film trailer that I have looked at was for the British Action film 'Shank'.

The film trailer remains at a constant fast pace throughout, providing an unsettling and tense feel for the audience. The names of the companies involved in the production are all introduced to the audience in quite a quick pace with various effects having been applied to them. The fast pace of introduction of the company names could be used to represent the tension and action, in terms of looking at the film's narrative. The appearance of the company name 'Gunslinger' is demonstrated to represent a quick gun shot, hinting at a possible death/s in the film. Like 'Cherrybomb' the third company is introduced by using the black and white fuzzy line 'TV style' effect. The other forms of text that feature in the film such as the film's title 'Shank', the release date of the film and the film's billing credits have an old fashioned film style effect, as if it were from the early age of silent films applied to them. The font is also black and bold, and takes up the majority of the screen when first introduced to the audience, before fading back into the shot. The use of having the text enlarged on a massive scale makes the text almost intimidating and threatening to the audience. The use of having the male character directly looking at the camera as he punches the film's screen increases the fear and tense feel from the audience. Certain shots and character movements have been dramatically slowed down, so that the footage appears in slow motion. The shot of a male character jumping over a railing and scenes of conflict are slowed down to create a dramatic effect, whereas the shot of the city where the camera slowly reversing out of a scene is done to disorientate the audience. The are a lot of quick cut away and jump cuts to emphasise the tension within the film's narrative. The colours appear quite dull, in order to create that grainy, gritty, inner city image. 

The final film trailer that I have looked at was for the British Thriller film '4.3.2.1'.

Unlike the two previous film trailers that I have looked at, in terms of editing the film trailer chooses not to open with the introduction of the company names that were involved with the film's production. It is not until seventeen seconds into the trailer that we see the first company name 'Universal'. The trailer opens with a low angle shot of a plane preparing to land before a few quick jump cuts are introduced. Around fifteen seconds into the trailer, the pace and variety of quick cut away shots increase, allowing tension and suspense to build up for the audience.This also allows the audience to get a sense of the film's narrative. A black and white fuzzy line effect is applied to certain parts of the trailer, almost mirroring the 'TV style' effect that was applied to the 'Cherrybomb' trailer. The creative choice of splitting the screen into four sections (so each section of the film screen is focusing on one of the four female characters in the shot) could have been done to represent the girl's separation, as their lives are possibly heading in different directions. Panning is also used to when one of the female characters is seen running away from danger which allows the audience to follow the character's movements, and almost feel like them themselves are also in the scene. Other creative choices include a blue tint and a camera flash effect being applied to certain shots of the film trailer. Like the 'SHANK' film trailer, the font used in the trailer is black and bold, and appears slightly threatening to the audience. As certain text that features in the film trailer gets ready to fade out of a certain shot, it dramatically speeds up and is enlarged to take up the majority of the camera shot. Other text that features in the trailer seems to zoom out into a shot at quite a fast pace for dramatic effect. The use of the dramatic black out near the end of the trailer provides suspense for the audience as they wonder as to what will follow after the blackout.

After analysing the creative and effective choices each of these three trailers have chosen to make, I know have a better understanding of what makes a film trailer more eye catching and appealing to it's target audience, in terms of editing. It has also given me some creative ideas as to what I could apply and experiment with in terms of editing our own media production.

Rough Sketches Of Institution Logos

Here are some rough sketches of mine and April's designs for institution logos.

Design 1

Our first idea was based on the London Underground and tube station signs. We both agreed to consider this design as it creates a sort of 'funky' vibe to our production company, and could be used to represent that 'inner city', gritty style that we have presented through the narrative of our film trailer.





Design 2

Our second design is of a city landscape which we both thought would help to make our production appear more modern, in terms of appealing to our older teenage/young adult audience.

Our final institution logo design links to the geographical location and setting of our film trailer.

Beginning The Editing Process

On Monday 23rd March, me and April began the editing process. In the time that we were given, we managed to select the clips that we wanted to feature in our film trailer, and place them in the order that we wanted them to appear. Using Adobe Photoshop, we trimmed certain clips, either because they were too long or to cut any unnecessary footage. We had also begun to experiment with various effects to certain clips. I expected today's editing session to overrun slightly as we had to re-watch particular clips that we had filmed, in order spot the clips that contained minor errors such as misapplied blur 

Filming And Editing Control

There had been some slight changes as to who was taking control over the filming and editing process. Originally, me and April were going to control the filming and editing together, but as April had to go away during our filming schedule,  I took control of the filming process. We have now agreed that April will take control over the majority of the editing process where I will help her to make good, creative decisions in terms of editing.

Discussing The Filming Schedule With The Actors Starring In Our Media Production

This video contains sections of conversations with the actors, and the call history with the actors that would be starring in our film trailer, about the filming schedule.

Contributor's Release Forms

Before we were to begin any form of filming we had to ensure that our actos signed release forms, stating that they understood the terms and conditions of their contract.

Example of a Contributor Release Form

Filming Schedule

To help us manage our time wisely and work around each, individual actor's working hours, me and April devised a filming schedule. The filming schedule shows that there would be no more than two actors on each day of filming (with the exception of the extras), so that we would have sole focus on each of the actors/actor and would have more time to talk them through certain scenes, and discuss any queries that they may have. We also made the decision to space out our filming time so we would be able to capture the footage to our satisfaction without feeling rushed to a much more time limited schedule.

Location And Setting

Location and Setting

Our film trailer will be set in the towns of Lake, Shanklin and Newchurch, based on the Isle of Wight. Locations that I will use include 'the green', skew bridge, my house and a cottage in Newchurch that was rented for the purpose of filming for our film trailer.

.    1. The Green

One of my first location choices was the green. The reason I decided to use the green as one of our location choices is because it is quite stripped back and quite gritty and rough looking, which supports our idea of wanting to creating a gritty, British film trailer rather than use more vibrant settings that appear more Americanised. The first image of the green displays a lot of dull green, brown and grey colours which help contribute to creating this gritty image. The image also presents the green as an abandoned area, which represents the abandonment and isolation Nathan feels after being mentally cut off from his friends. The abandonment of the area also helps to create feelings of suspense and mystery for the audience, causing them to feel unsafe and wary as to what could be potentially lurking in the trees.

2. The Green 2

This second image of the green is more set near skew bridge and main road. The reason that I chose to shoot using this particular section of the green is because it appears grimy and gritty to the audience, and helps to create this rough, dirty, gritty vision that we want to be obviously displayed in our trailer.

3. Skew Bridge 

Our second location choice is Skew Bridge. The image below shows the bridge displayed in a depressing and bleak setting, which contributes to resembling Nathan's mood swings, and feelings felt by some of the other main characters. It also fits well with the nature of the film trailer narrative. I also thought that skew bridge would be an ideal place to have a stand off or a scene where conflict is involved with the main characters to appear more dramatic.

4. My House 

The third location choice is my house. This particular location is very significant in terms of the film trailer's narrative as this is where Nathan's health begins to deteriorate, and he experiences his first blackout. Filming in a character's home environment also allows them to appear more vulnerable as they are more cut off from society. This idea links to how Nathan is mentally cut off from his friends after developing a mental personality disorder. My house is also used to represent the character's home, which is one of the traditional conventions in terms of looking at locations for Teen Dramas.

5. The Cottage

The final location is the cottage that was rented purely for the purpose of filming for our film trailer. We thought that the cottage would be an ideal place to do some filming for the house party scenes as it is quite large, with enough space to shoot scenes from various types of camera angles. The cottage is also located on the outskirts of Newchurch, which also helps to create these feelings of mystery and uncertainty for the audience.

I have also created a Flickr album where a series of our location shots are contained: Location Shots

Character Hair And Makeup Ideas

Nathan

Nathan's character will wear hardly any make up with the exception of wearing a minimal amount of light foundation and concealer, to hide any prominent spots and blemishes. Nathan's hair will resume it's natural hair colour when filming, apart from Nathan's fringe which will be dyed either pink or purple to give Nathan's character a kind of edgy look.

The 'Other Nathan'

Like Nathan's character, the 'Other Nathan' will be wearing no make-up apart from a minimal amount of light foundation and concealer to hide any prominent spots or blemishes. The 'Other Nathan' will have brown hair (including the fringe), so that their is some sort of distinctive difference in terms of appearance between Nathan and the 'Other Nathan'. 

Tori

Tori's character will wear a fair amount of foundation and concealer and will have heavily made up eyes, using dark eye shadows, black eyeliner and mascara for dramatic effect. Tori will also wear a bright red lipstick which connotes the concept of danger and passion, and allows the character to seduce the audience with her appearance. Eye brow pencil will also be used to create arched eyebrows for the character. The character's hair will be a short and dark brown, and will be straightened to create a more sophisticated look for Tori's character. 

Freddie

Freddie's character will wear minimal foundation and concealer to hide any prominent spots and blemishes when on camera. His hair will remain it's natural colour (black).

Luna

Luna's character will also wear a minimal amount of foundation and concealer compared to Tori's character so that her character is presented to look more youthful and convey the idea of innocence (in terms of appearance). She will also wear less heavy eye make-up, wearing lighter shades of eyeshadow and a minimal amount of mascara. Luna's character will also wear pink/crimson blusher to create a 'rosy cheeks' effect, so that the character resembles a child-like image. Her hair will be left natural in order for the character to maintain a more youthful and innocent appearance. 

Amber

Like Tori's character Amber will wear a considerable amount of foundation and concealer. Amber's character will wear a fair amount of heavy eye make up, with a mix of dark eyeshadows, eyeliner and mascara to create a dramatic look for the character. Amber's heavily, dark made up eyes will be used to represent the mystery and dark nature of Nathan's condition. Her hair will be curled to create a more mature, adult look. A more pale pink lipstick will be used for Amber's character however, to represent and remind the audience of the character's youth.

Character Costumes

Nathan's Costume 

Costume 1

Nathan's character doesn't belong to a more stereotypical, specific social group e.g 'emos/goths' or 'hippies, which gave us more variety to make creative choices with Nathan's clothing. If we're looking at the psycho graphic scale, Nathan dresses like the majority of teenagers his age, wearing similar clothing labels which would categorise his character to the 'mainstreamers' category. Nathan's first outfit includes a white, graphic t-shirt with a checkered shirt, along with dark blue denim jeans. Wearing darker blue jeans instead of light blue jeans suggests that Nathan is try to create a more 'mature' look for himself. The darkness of the jeans could also be used to foreshadow the upcoming, dark change in Nathan's character. His clothing tells us a lot about Nathan's character, suggesting that by wearing high street, fashionable clothes, Nathan likes to follow the crowd and try to fit in by wearing similar clothing to the 'mainstreamers'.

Costume 2

Nathan's second costume choice is fairly similar to his previous outfit, though this time we decided to make the character wear a plain white t-shirt and a pink hoodie. Connotations from the white t-shirt represent the character's vulnerability and innocence as he begins to notice the disturbing changes in his character. The pink hoodie suggests that the character has a feminine side which could link to the idea that Nathan is very open and sensitive with his emotions.

The 'Other Nathan's' Costume

We made the decision to have the 'Other Nathan' wearing less graphic/printed t-shirts and other forms of 'mainstream' clothing labels, as we wanted the character to really stand out (in terms of appearance) and emphasise to the audience that the 'Other Nathan' isn't really a part of Nathan's world by presenting him in less popular clothing. Although we did make the decision to have the 'Other Nathan' wearing trainers, which are a form of shoe that characters belonging to the 'mainstreamers' category would wear. The 'Other Nathan' will be wearing an orange/red t-shirt. Connotations from the colour red include danger, which is used to represent the dangerous thoughts and nature of the 'Other Nathan'. The character will also wear dark, black jeans and a black jacket. The colour black connotes dark ideas such as angst and evilness which are ideas that are well associated with the 'Other Nathan's' character. The colour black can also represent power and dominance, which is used to represent the power and control that the 'Other Nathan' has over Nathan's character, and how he continues to dominate Nathan's mental state of mind. 

Tori's Costume

For Tori's first costume choice we decided to have the character wearing a plain, black dress, to create a kind of seductive, more mature look. This outfit also allows Tori's character to take on the 'femme fatale' role, if we are looking at Propp's character types. Tori's second costume choice includes denim jeans and a white crop top, which allows the character to appear more youthful and less 'dolled-up'. The reason we wanted to do this is to show the audience the different sides of Tori by illustrating her different personalities through her clothing. The black dress from the first outfit choice connotates mystery and feelings of importance.This links to Tori's character profile about her being mysterious and secretive about her 'other life' with her parents, and is significant in terms of importance, as Tori plays a vital role in the film's narrative. The colour black also represents power which is used to represent Tori's strong and confident character. The first outfit is quite tight fitted and suggestive, whereas the second outfit is more relaxed and less glamorous, and appears more stereotypical amongst Tori's age group. The white crop top could be used to suggest that their is light/hope at the end of the trailer and the equilibrium of the narrative will be restored. The character will also be wearing black heels.

Costume 1

Costume 2

Freddie's Costume

For Freddie's first costume choice, his clothing is made up of a mix of dark colours to represent the mood and nature in terms of the film's plot narrative. They are also very similar to Nathan's clothing but less stereotypical, as Freddie's costume ideas do not include any graphic/printed t-shirts that display any kind of brands that would be popular amongst the main streamers category. Connotations from Freddie's second outfit choice include the concept of danger (connotations drawn from Freddie's red t-shirt), with the concept of danger being essential to the plot narrative, and a concept that is associated with certain characters in the film trailer. Like the 'Other Nathan' Freddie also wears trainers. However Freddie's trainers include shades of colours (yellow and orange) which could suggest that Freddie isn't being portrayed as a 'dark' character, opposed to the 'Other Nathan'. 

Luna's Costume

In terms of colour, Luna's chosen outfits are almost identical to Tori's costume choices. With the first costume choice, we made the decision to have Luna also wearing a black dress but unlike Tori's dress isn't tight fitted and appears less suggestive. Luna still manages to carry the mood of the narrative through her clothing by wearing dark colours. However Luna's plain white t-shirt, which is seen in the second costume choice is used to represent the character's naivety and vulnerability of Nathan's condition, as she has no knowledge or understanding as to how to help Nathan's character, leaving her helpless. The white t-shirt could also be used to hint at the restoration of the equilibrium of the narrative. Like Tori, Luna will also wear heels. 

Costume 1

Costume 2

Amber's Costume 

With Amber's costume, the light hearted and dark elements of the film trailer are represented (in terms of the film trailer's narrative), with the character wearing a white t-shirt and dark blue jeans. The jeans are tight fitted, creating a sort of suggestive image for the character, but white shirt is floaty, reminding the audience of the character's youth. Like Tori and Luna's characters Amber will also wear heels.
