Week 5

On October the 7th Lucy (a fellow group member) and I decided to go to Hunstanton, our film location and take initial scene shots of surrounding areas. The reason for this was to decipher the main parts of the trailer that we will be focusing on.



Begins with a woman lying flowers near the shore- Girl meets boy on beach- Visits boy on beach daily- Falls in love- Walk on beach- Romantic scenes- Tells friends about him, she doesn’t want to introduce him.- Bumps into ill looking person – grabs her, says they shouldn’t be together- She ignores her, goes back to boyfriend.- Hold hands- Buy food- Walk towards sea- She turns to look at him – he’s gone- Looks round frantically, can’t see him anywhere- Asks friends, they haven’t even met him.- Friends joke about him running away while he still can.- Girl breaks down & runs up & down beach/promenade – gets stared at- Bumps into same ill looking person as before – announces revelation he’s dead.- She thinks they’re crazy, runs away, crying.- She sits on the beach crying, drinking vodka, and thinking that maybe he did leave her.- She runs into ocean, drunk – screen goes dark.- Next day body washes up on shore.- Boy kneels down touches body, stands up holds hands with same girl, walk off into ocean, and fade into distance

We decided to take shots of the Hunstanton beach where we would potentially be filming our trailer. As the weather in these pictures were ideal for our filming ... we chose a day where the weather would potentially be the same. Therefore we made sure we tracked the weather forecast. So if it were to rain we would make sure we wern't going on those days.

This is the final film trailer script, however we are allowing room for interpretation and improvisation depending on the scene and whether it looks right or not.

Techincalities that we wished to be included in our trailer, included a wider range of camera shots, angles and compositions in comparison to our ameteur preliminary tasks from AS media.
These included...
Another thing we needed to address was mise en scene and non deigetic sounds from our trailer.
Firstly, our budget is extremely low therefore our costume and props would need to be produced from items we had at home or could buy from shops at a low cost. We are aware that when we do film, it is in a public place therefore cannot predict how much background noise will be created by others nearby. We could avoide the unwanted noise by shooting as many takes for ample editing material. Through the editing process we could remove unwanted sounds or record over them.
