Production Day 2



We began to film the first scene in our film where the group of friend first arrive in the Forrest. The first shot we filmed was as if the kidnapper was watching from the bushes and is a long shot followed by a tracking shot of the group of friends walking into the forest and begin to speak to each other. By the end of this session we successfully finished filming the first scene and uploaded the footage to the computer.

'Trapped' Props, Costumes and make-up SFX


This sheet includes the props that will be used in our short film 'Trapped'. the majority of the props used are equipment that are used when camping because our story is about a group of friends that go camping. the props also include junk food that the teenagers would bring.





the costumes include clothing that would be worn when going camping e.g warm clothes. i have also included the dark costume of the stranger in our film.

the make-up and SFX in our film would include make-up used to create bruises and also fake blood which are both Thriller/Horror conventions and that is the genre of our short film.

Target Audience Member

The task was to create a moodboard using different images that would relate to our 'Trapped' film target audience .
we made a spider diagram and put the images into different groups such as Tv programs, hobbies, films, food, clothing, music and computer games. My target audience member's favorite films would include thrillers, horrors and films that include killers. The brands that they would associate with  are quite expensive and very fashionable. so i have used names of popular brands and stores.

The music they would listen to would be a very large variety so i have used some well know music that includes party music and famous artists. i also used well known genres that are largely listened to. I have also used images of famous computer games and consoles that would be played by a male member of the target audience.


'Trapped' Initial Planning

 
















the task we had been set was to create a short 3-5 minute film titled 'Trapped'. in groups of four we had to think of an idea and write out a plan including the beginning, middle and end. our initial ideas for the film included a group of friends on a camping trip, someone goes missing, when searching for their missing friend they find that they are trapped in the forrest.

Beginning: A group of friends go into the middle of a forrest for a camping trip. they are having fun, laughing and enjoying themselves.

Middle: One of the friends leaves the tent to find signal on their phone. after a while the friends begin to get worried and leave the tent to search for their friend.

End: when searching for their friend in the forrest they begin to hear strange noises and suddenly find their friend dead in the middle of the forrest and then realise they are lost and trapped in the forrest.
