Plan for the next few weeks for our teaser 'Stalked'

The deadline for our teasers is getting closer and closer, therefore it is of paramount importance that my group and I are very organised.

Firstly on Monday I hope to finish my poster and website. I have finished them both on Photoshop, I just need to upload them both to my blog, and then embed the teaser to my Photoshop website.

Following this, on Wednesday we are re-filming at Highgate woods (our original location) we need to re-film Seth approaching Maya and Amy again, followed by more shots of the three together, so that the audience gain more insight to the teaser, and are generally more scared.

My group and I will then book the muse for editing, as the deadline is vastly approaching. After this we hope our teaser will be even better, and hope to get more feedback.

I will also be editing my poster and website throughout the week and the following week, to ensure that it is up to a high standard.

Stalked - Feeback

On the whole our first teaser draft was well received,

Positive feedback:

Music was very good.
There was a clear narrative and people understood the storyline
There were nice quick cuts, and good camera shots.

Constructive feedback,

More scary camera shots
Change some of editing as it didn't look very scary or authentic and real.
Make the teaser a bit longer, meaning more filming.

Synopsis of my Teaser

Amy Cotter and Maya Ellis, are like any other 18 year olds. They love to see their friends, struggle at school, party and generally have fun. However, after 'partying' too hard one night, their world is completely turned upside down. They wake up in an cold isolated woods, with a bad hangover and an disorientated mind.

They soon realise that they are not alone, in fact they are being stalked. It is now a case of run or die. Will they survive and find out why they have ended up in the woods, or will they perish and die a cold and isolated death, and merely become ashes floating over stalks.

More filming...

Our group realised that we have to film more for our teaser.

This weekend Seth ( The killer) will come to my house, and i will film him across the canal wiping of the blood from the knife. I hope to create a sense of foreboding and ominous feel for my audience, alongside evoking deep and meaningful questions.

Shot ideas:

Long shot, Establishing shot, close ups, mid shots, high angle shot and low angle shot.

Time of the day:

We will film around 2 or 4 o clock. It could be filmed at 2 o clock, as we can edit the film to make the time of day darker. Or we could film at 4 0 clock, so that is more dusk/darker, to create a dark and sinister feeling.]

I will also be filing at my friends 18th on Saturday, for more party scenes, so that the teaser looks more realistic and authentic.

Location:

Canal Side and the Adelaide Pub.

Actor

Seth Tonkin/and extras for the party scene.

Clothing:

Same as before, for continuity. And Party clothing.

I will also be making fake blood, so that the shot looks realistic and authentic.

Editing process.

Due to my broken leg - I have missed a lot of editing. However, today i made a solid start with editing and contributed a lot. I helped log an capture all the footage, and edited it with my group.

What we edited:

Party scene 1
Party scene 2
Party Scene 3
Party Scene 4
Party Scene 5

What needs to be edited:

Need to edit the party scenes, so that it looks like night and not broad-daylight.
Also, the rest of our final scenes.

I will continue to edit tommorrow with my group.

First draft for Media Poster


I used the website 'Picnik' to edit my poster. For instance, i used the text from Picnik' to create the film title of my film ' STALKED'. I then saved the image as a JPEG, and edited it in photoshop.
