Certification
These are the specific catagories of certification that a film must be classed in before being released to show which ages are allowed to leagally watch it.
We will make our film a 15, however the trailer is avaliable to most audiences (PG) as this is conventional of a trailer with a higher certification.
This then means that no-one under 15 is allowed to watch the full-length film
Our own test shots for subsidary tasks
These are some of the ideas we had about one of our subsidiary tasks. We decided to produce a poster as an advertisement for the film to accompany our trailer. The Single White Female poster is our inspiration for this as it is of a similar style.
Unlike Single White Female, we have decided to include the boyfriend character in the shot, at least as an initial idea. We also have our inspiration from the poster of Obsessed as this is more to do with the relationship of the character and her boyfriend and the psychopathic's obsession over the man unlike ours how this simply slots in due to the obsession with the girl character who happens to have a boyfriend who she gives more attention to.
We are trying to portray Summer as a happy and content character, as well as Sam in some of the shots, whereas Charlotte looks obsessed and interested in finding out what Summer/Sam are doing a lot of the time. Of course these are simply test shots and the proper poster will look a lot more professional with a proper costume list, editing to make the lighting appropriate and many takes so that we get the sure one.
As you can see, they are either separated by a wall or some form of blockage from seeing each other. This is so that Charlotte looks psychopathic and creepy as Summer does not necessarily know she is there. In the full version, Charlotte will most likely look fairly normal however, there will be a look in her eye to make her clearly look psychopathic, but in consideration for it to look conventional and fit to our trailer, she will be dressed in fairly plain but modern clothes. We may put make up on her to make her eyes look darker to make her look as if she has a certain darkness about her.
Summer will be in bright clothes and look quite girly and pretty and content with Sam, if he is used. She will most likely have a look on her face which suggests she is entirely happy with her life so it shows the irony of the film.
Our other subsidiary task is a magazine cover which we have been researching, such as GORE ZONE magazine editor coming in and talking to us about it. We will start with it's production soon. These are simply test shots but just a general idea of what we are expecting
Single White Female Poster
This poster from the film Single White Female shows exactly what our film is trying to portray. Next blog tells all about our own shots.

Music for the montage
We are finding it difficult to find some music for the montage. We want a stereotypical style of music used in montages within trailers, i.e strings or something along these lines growing in intensity. We are trying to find an actual track that has music we can use however we may need to use Garageband to compose a track. This may be problematic as it may sound too simple or not fit the style totally but we will just see how things will pan out.

Analysis of use of camera shots within our media text
Camera shots can make a big difference in a trailer as it shows a variety of angles which can subsequently change the audiences perspective on what is trying to be shown.
Within our trailer we have a range of different shots. From the beginning :-
-Charlotte looking into the classroom, based on the 180 degree rule, and opening the door. This shows her nervousness and lack of eagerness towards going in and meeting her new classmates.
-The establishing shot of Charlotte walking into the room with Summer and her friends. This shot shows that Summer has friends and is originally popular before Charlotte is even introduced.
-The low angle shot of Charlotte and Summer shaking hands shows that they are being formally introduced, possibly an obligation on Summer's side.
-There is a two shot of Summer and Charlotte working at the table and the audience see that they are clearly close enough as friends to do some work on their own. This shot is useful as the audience see their growing relationship which means something different to both characters.
-The shot of Summer and Sam is a two-mid shot and it works effectively as Summer goes off to the right and disappears whereas Sam walks off into the background which generally shows a difference in perspective.
-We then have a title which fades in from black
-Charlotte then stands in the right corner of a mid-shot as she looks on on the couple, again simply showing a different perspective.
-Another mid-shot of Charlotte walking into the back gate.
-A low angle close up of Charlotte looking into Summer's bedroom. This works as it shows she feels like she has a power and the perspective is that the audience is looking up at her.
-A shot we are very proud of is the next one; Summer walks past her bedroom window - mid shot- as in the background there is an extreme long high angle shot of Charlotte standing in her garden. This shows how subtle she is in stalking Summer and how she does it quietly and quite eerily
-There is then a reverse shot of Charlotte looking vacantly away as the wind blows in her hair
-The title of 'that turns fatal' shoots in from both sides, which is conventional of titles in a trailer
-A two mid-shot of Summer and Sam where the audience see the growing intensity of Charlotte's character and how she is starting to worry other characters such as Sam
-There is then the montage which includes a range of different shots such as an extreme close up of Summer's eyes as she opens them, a close up of Summer looking for something, possibly Charlotte, and Charlotte is slowly shown up behind her through the darkness and a mid shot Charlotte walking past a post at her school and wiping her bloody hand against it, suggesting she has been involved with blood. The range of shots are shown to show a variety of clips showing different perspectives and angles.
-The long shot of Charlotte running towards the camera is effective as it would shock the audience and it is stereotypical of the genre.
-The close up of Summer crying in the corner is effective as the lighting works in time with the camera shot and the music. Also we filmed this handheld as it suggests Summer's vulnerable and scared emotions.
-The last shot is a reverse shot from the left however it is reflected in the mirror. This is effective as again the lighting and music works well in sync with the camera angle.

Analysis of symbolic codes within my media text
Within our trailer, there are a range of different symbolic codes throughout. Typically they can be very obvious such as a character holding bloody knife. At this point the audience can tell that this character is someone who has most probably killed someone...or seriously injured them. However these symbolic codes can be done subtly for example if pathetic fallacy was used...A person walking down the road whilst rain is pouring down - the rain expresses their mood and the audience can tell that they are feeling low. However this is not always done purposely to show an emotion or action. It simply done, because it is!
One particular part of our film that, at first was unintentional, is the use of red doors in our trailer. The audience see Charlotte looking at Summer and Sam behind a red door as she looks jealous and angry, she is then seen again going into Summer's back garden through a red door again. This works well as in the beginning,it starts out as red doors as the atmosphere is still fairly calm and then progresses to red ending up on Charlotte's hand - blood.
Another unintentional symbolic code is when there is the low angle shot of Charlotte looking into Summer's bedroom; the wind is blowing in her hair and across her face. This could suggest the anger or need she is feeling. These kind of things cannot be done purposely as we do not have the equipment such as a wind machine to create these effects but when we can catch the chance we most certainly will!
In this scene, Charlotte is wearing dark and dull colours such as grey and black which suggest her mood or feelings are of the similar sort. Throughout the film, she wears similar colours. She tends to wear darker colours in comparison to Summer.
Summer is always wearing bright and stylish clothes which reflect her personality and popularity status at school; the fact she is happy in most of the scenes shows the audience the kind of person she is. However in the end scene as she is crying in a corner, the audience will feel empathetic towards her as it is emotional seeing her like this. The music works well to create this empathy. The audience see a side of her they hadn't before; she is vulnerable and alone, crying and it is a big difference to how happy she is when she is in the scene with Sam for example.
The scenes in the montage show blood, clearly fake blood for filming purposes, and even then we tried to make it slightly more glamorous than the typical 'full-on' gore so that it still fits the style of the characters.

Analysis of the use of audio codes within my media text
We use all different types of audio codes within our trailer such as music, dialogue from the camera footage, voiceovers and non-diegetic sounds.
Our music is very important to us. At this point in time we have used 3 different tracks, two of which are the same track however one has been remixed into a more upbeat and 'ravey' version of the original acoustic version we have used. ('Uninvited') We use the acousic version at the start to keep the mood calm as in the film the mood is calm and nothing is going wrong. However we have edited in the more upbeat remixed version to fit the realisation of Charlotte not being a normal girl. The audience see her change into a more obsessive girl as the music changes. This was done by editing and merging the two tracks together in Garageband. Our song at the end of the trailer 'White Blank Page' by Mumford and Sons is used as it is slow and gives an odd sense of happiness and dullness at the same time. This works well in opposition of the clips being shown while it is being played, for example, Charlotte running wildly down a coridor whilst happy gituar music is beoing played.
Our voiceovers have so far been successful as they work well in the trailer. Our first one at the beginning of the trailer when Charlotte introduces herself 'Hi, i'm new here?', 'Name?', 'Uhh...Charlotte Westbridge'. This works well as we are not using filmed footage in order to do this so it is playing over another clip therefore getting more information in within the time-span of a conventional trailer. Our second voiceover at the moment is of Summer saying 'So why did you move here in the first place?' This was done simply because when it was filmed it was not loud enough and when we made the volume louder it sounded grainy and distorted. This way it is a more clearer sound and makes the trailer look more professional. More voiceovers will be done and will work in the similar ways of the above.
At the very beginning of the clip, the audience can subtely hear the students in the classroom Charlotte is about to walk into talking. The audience wouldn't be able to make it out but it adds to the atmosphere of the situation she is in. It suggests that the people in the room are already comfortable talking with the people in there and do not want change, i.e Charlotte walking in and trying to become friends.

Analysis of last uploaded clip and review of audience feedback
This is it so far; as you can see it is looking more like a trailer now thankfully, however still needs work. Music in particularly has not been either touched up enough by either making it louder or softer in places and the montage needs some music. We were thinking the conventional style of music which included strings getting higher suggesting a growing in intense atmosphere; we still need to make this music and it can be problematic as the programme we use, Garageband, is not entirely user friendly. The montage is the main part that has been added since our last upload. At the moment, it is a rough sketch of the particular bits of footage we will use hoever we still need to vary the speeds of the clips to make it look more like a conventional montage and to match with the music when it is eventually done. This means that the clips will most likely start off being fairly slowly changing and by the end the clips will be less than half a second between them. We have added a transition of 'fade-to-white' in between them which is looking effective but, personally sometimes doesn't look quite right so, we will see about that. We have the titles fairly spread out from each other which isn't typically conventional but the scenes that are inbetween need to be kept as a group or they will not make sense. This lesson we had some audience feedback which helped us as she could tell us what needed to be done. This recording will be uploaded at a later date. These are the types of queries she brought up:-
The handshake between Charlotte and Summer at the beginning is apparently shown as the veiwer not knowing who the characters were and so she said we needed to make this clear. However, we feel that a trailer is there to give you a glimpse of what the film is, would it give too much away if we played the film out scene for scene in the trailer? Of course it would. This means that we have purposely missed out particular scenes that would be in the film as conventionally this is what would be done for an actual film trailer.The next scene is of the two girls sitting at a table together so we would assume that the audience would put two and two together and realise it is the same people. Plus the fact you can see the red hair in the shot of the shaking of the hand helps just in case.
The scene where Summer and Sam kiss and Charlotte is looking in on them, we may edit this as our volunteer, and Calry and I agree, that it is not totally clear if she is spying on them as a title 'An obsession' separates the two clips. Like i said earlier, We need this sequence kept together so that it makes sense to the audience even though we are breaking the rules slightly by having the titles so far apart, time-wise.
Coming back to the music side of things, we need to add a voiceover or two in as I feel it needs more speech in the trailer. Probably one from Charlotte just as she enters the back gate. We did attempt this, and it failed as it really just didn't fit, but we may have another go because, although we want to keep some mystery, we're not telling them much at all at this point so we still need to keep our audience interested.
We are particularly happy with the choice of music at the end of the clip and so we are definately keeping this. It is perfect for our trailer as it is almost happy music, but has a certain eerieness to it and the lyrics are 'Can you lie next to her, and give her your heart?' suggesting a 'stalky-ish' theme and it works in opposition with the scene of Charlotte running towards the camera in a manic fashion screaming 'DON'T RUN AWAY FROM ME!' when the music is very calm in comparison.
Overall, as it is coming together, particularly the montage, we are happy with our progress.

Montage Scene Footage
Here is our footage we got from filming particular scenes to use for quick shots for the montage
Monday 22 November 2010
Last lesson
I was quite proud of what we achieved in the last lesson as we got a fair bit of footage filmed that can be used for our montage.
We filmed a variety of shots based around a gory theme, for example:-
We have a shot of Summer looking through a dark area with blood dripping down her face, out of her nose, suggesting she has already been attacked or hurt in some way. We used fake blood and it actually looked very realistic and thankfully, came off nice and easily. Charlotte the appears out of the darkness which shows the creepiness of Charlottes character.
Another shot was of Charlotte scraping a knife across a wall suggesting that she was going to use it due to the fact that it didn't actually have any blood on it. We still need to do some shots of Summer's boyfriend, Sam, and Charlotte attacking him in a provocative way. Although it's not very professional to start editing before we have finished filming, we want to keep up to date how it will come together so by editing the footage we do have together, it means that we know the precision of the shots that are needed to be filmed.
We also have a shot of grace scraping her hand across a wall with blood on her hand to create an eerie suggestion that she has already hurt someone; this would most probably be at the middle-end of the montage as the audience then sees that she is a harmful character.
Another shot we got was of Charlotte looking at her hand in a psychotic way, dripping with blood.

Extra filming, more footage.
Today we did some shots of Summer and Sam (Summer's boyfriend) to show scenes of them being a couple so it is clear to the audience they are together. We also did some shots of Charlotte and Sam together showing Charlottes intense need to want Sam due to the fact he is Summers boyfriend. This worked really well as it was the first time we were filming Mark (Sam) and he played the part very well alongside Grace (Charlotte). We still need more shots of the two of them and a few more of Summer and Sam, however most of the shots from now on will be short clips to put together into a montage that grows in intensity throughout. It is now a case of getting the music to work in time with the footage and the speech in the clips as we may need to do voiceovers to make it more pronounced and hearable as the technology of the cameras is not great so the sound in the clips are rather terrible.
It's all coming together now!

More Editing, Music
This shows what we've done so far. We have filmed more scenes such as the beginning one, the establishing shot of Charlotte entering a classroom full of Summer and her friends. We have used a voice over of Charlotte saying 'Hi, I'm new here' to which an office lady replies 'Name?' and she answers 'Charlotte Westbridge'. As the trailer develops we may change the position of the trailer if any shots are needed to be added or taken away. We have come very far with our music; we have made it into a track that can be used throughout the entire trailer by using an acoustic version of the song 'Uninvited' and link it into the Freemason's club edit version which helps as at the start the scene seems innocent and unclear whereas the music begins to become more uptempo as you see Charlotte's true intentions and actions towards Summer, such as her opening her back gate. We still need to work on the music as somehow the volume keeps changing. This is probably due to the fact we have hushed the sound in the clips and it is therefore changing the volume of the complimentary track but we will sort it out. As not all of our filming is done and we are not sure how much time will be taken up of the track we are not yet merging the two tracks together due to the uncertainty of how long the trailer will be in the end. We feel like we still need to edit some of the clips already involved in this version as some may be a tad too long to work in time with the music. We have added some transitions, subtle ones as we run the risk of making it look too cheesy if the transitions are hugely noticeable. We have titles now, and we will most probably add more but for the moment these work well ad are in fairly secure places in the trailer as we are sticking to the conventional type of psychological thriller trailers. We have begun to add some short clips in that will eventually be part of a montage such as the 1-2 second clip of Summer crying on the phone. At the moment, it doesn't look good but it is just a small taste of what we will include when all the filming is finished. The shot of Charlotte running wildly out of a room and towards the camera is most likely to be at the end of the montage once it has intensified more gradually as at the moment it all happens fairly suddenly. It's just about doing some more filming which we plan to do in this next week and it will start to really take form.
First Edit
Here is our first edit. It needs a lot of work but just shows what we are developing upon. It shows we have put together a few clips of footage and started thinking about music at the beginning of the clip. We have chosen another piece of music to have at the end of the clip which works well as there is variation, whether or not we will keep it is another story. Right now, continuity is not great as we have literally put which clips we want together is a rough guide of the order we would eventually put them in surrounded by other clips we yet have to film. In some clips we need to sort out the diegetic and non-diegetic sounds, by either adding in certain noises, for example the part where the gate shuts we might add an artificial slam, or by taking away the original background noise such as the wind or myself and Carly discussing filming ideas whilst actually filming (not very professional, whoops). We have however sorted some of the sound out as we dubbed a part of the scene where Summer is doing her hair and Charlotte is looking in her window from her garden; we split the clip after the hairspray noise and muted the sound after as it was the sound of Summer sitting on the bed when she is meant to walk past, but we wanted to keep the sound of the hairspray, spraying, so we did it in this way. We still need to add transitions between clips as at the moment it is looking rather jumpy but in time we will make this flow.

Initial filming
Here is some of our first filming that we did and some of the shots we will use in our
actual film because some are quite effective.
For example, the one where Charlotte is standing in the garden and Summer
Walks passed oblivious to her while she is doing her hair. This is quite a conventional
scene, e.g in films where there is an obsessed person they are often there when the other
person is unaware.
Currently there is no music and this will obviously be added for affect. This post also
acts like a test shot as it gives us an overall idea of what we need to do in order to make the trailer effective and also to give us an idea of what it may look like.
