Filming Day 2

Friday 14th November
This day all group members were available for 2 hours so we intended to film more scenes. However, we didn't pre plan this film day so unfortunately the weather had turned with a horrid down poor so we are now unable to film which is a set back to the rate at which we were getting things done. Also, we now need to plan forward on the weather forecasts for the days we need to film and also work around actors and actresses. So we need to film after 2:30 pm through the week and maybe the weekends. For today the two group members which are here are continuing with blog work and planning.

Filming Day 1

Thursday 13th November

We had progressed to the stage where we began filming. We set up location with props and got the actor ready to start filming with costume and hair e.t.c. Initially we set up first shots starting in the living room where we also had another camera filming behind the scenes for how we set up shots. Using the focus on the camera we created a point of view shot of the characters eyes opening and closing to show him waking up.  Due to the actress being at school we had to film the beginning scenes which didn't involve her. It was a productive first day of filming as we managed to film up to the character leaving the house.

Issues with Filming

• Actress was at school so we had limited parts to film.
• Most props weren't available as some were left behind.
• Some shots were challenging as we didn't have the correct equipment so we had to improvise and try create the shot we wanted which was time consuming.

Viral Advertising

Viral advertising is the use of using social media and the internet to promote a new product. This is a very cheap way to promote the new release as it does not cost anything to make social media account such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Youtube etc.

  A successful way of promoting new releases can   be in different ways such as online videos, hunts in set locations of the film.

Batman the Dark Knight Rises used a viral advertising method of a hunt in a city. They used clues around the city and at the end of the hunt they saw a billboard with the date of release.

Credits Research

Credits are mainly used at the end of a film to show everyone who is involved in the film from the production to music e.t.c. Character names and the actor playing them will be shown also. Some credits involve just a black screen with scrolling white text where as others tend to be more adventurous with moving images and in some cases bloopers often used in comedies.

An example of a simple set of credits would be 'Remember Me' which is a Romantic film has just a black screen and white scrolling text. Accompanying this is a slow quite emotional sound track as the credits are shown.




Comedies use credits accompanied by bloopers to add to the humour of the film for example shown in Talladega Nights. Credits are shown along the bottom of the clips to make the credits less boring and people tend to pay more attention to the end credits.
