Authorization for soundtrack

Here I have shown that the record company for 'chase and status' (who is the artist of the song 'pieces' that we hope to use as our soundtrack.) This shows we have done as much as possible to encounter copyright infringements and to gain a legal right to feature this song on our teaser trailer.

Film poster analysis

Here I have analysised some film posters so I can have an idea how my film poster should look

First Scene Edited

This shows us extracting audio form one of our clips, we had to do this to edit the audio on the original track, it was too long and the audio we are extracting here was replaced. Whilst editing this scene we ensured the cuts matched the music (which was the BBC news theme tune at the time

First Scenes Filmed

Here is the raw footage of us shooting out first scene, they are panning shots as this is our establishing scene

Compressing Movie

Here we have shown the process of compressing our movie, this enables us a lot more options in terms of posting as we no longer have to work with a .imovieproject. Using the 'Share' option from imovie compresses the file into a more diverse format, such as .mp4 or .m4v.
This is the process we will use to host the video on sites such as youtube or blogger

Prop planning

The hardest part of constructing our film trailer is props. We need make up to make me look zoned out, paint and make up to make me look like I've just been beaten up, along with props that mean the misenscene would like like a normal drug abusers life style.

We have decided that the most realistic looking herb is oregano, this is easily accessible and creates a good misencene.

This is a perfect example of the kind of paint pallette that we will use to give the impression that I have been beaten up. I believe it will give a rougher look than make up and will fit our genre better.

Narrative Planning

We decided the easiest genre to fulfill was social realism so we have brainstormed some ideas about drug abuse, here is the narrative that followed:

James is a heavy drug abuser, he sits around in a cramped, messy apartment not realising when days pass or whats going on around him. The aim of our movie is to suggest the bad sides of drug abuse without becoming too much like a documentary. For this reason James has severe paranoia, he always envisages people watching him or following him. He even believes news reporters speak of him and talk about him. He is in deep trouble with his dealer, who is always on the hunt for his money or James' life. James must get off drugs, get a job, some money together and pay off the debt he owes before the consequences start coming around.

Narrative planning

The hardest thing for me and Chloe is finding a narrative for our film trailer, so we are currently looking for novels that haven't had a film adaptation. Here are some possibilities we found:

- The Boy who kicked pigs
- The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time

The list is short at the moment as it's difficult to find novels that haven't already been made to film and that will be easy and realistic to shoot, we are currently working on changing the narratives of these books to suit our trailer better. We will upload a narrative when we have one developed
