Changes to the Plot

The plot of our story had slowly been altered; throughout the time which we have been filming, these are the alterations and the new scenes which we are going to film:

·         Drawing the pentagram onto the tree ( this will show the start of the  demon possession)

·         Shaking the trees – this will show the demonic power surrounding the location, and with the creature’s power rising

·         Sammy (aka Roxie) runs and hides under some plant life – trying to get away from the creature.

o   Then gets dragged away from hiding spot

·         Second sacrifice (Roxie) is seen lying on a pentagram and is still alive …. You then see something in the background which is the creature/ demon

·         Have more different angles of running

·         Story telling scene + dare to put the blood on the tree trunk (also a couple of reaction shots during the story of Roxie and Lizzie)

·         Re-shoot the sacrifice clip ( this is a new scene with a pictogram at the base of the tree)

·         Re-shoot entering the forest (diff angle to intersect an original shot)

·         shots of different characters with blood on them – they could be seen running

·         Lizzie finds Claire with blood on her hands tries to comfort her; looks at the camera and the audience sees Claire smiles creepily – this could show the demonic possession

·         Home scene- this could be used to show that they thought that they were safe, have one of the characters answer a parent when they say something like “Be safe” and the character responds to “what could happen … there’s nothing in the woods” or something similar.

Case Study - Quentin Tarantino

When deciding about our trailer; you could suggests that our plot line is slightly controversial ( with the thought of Religion) about the satanic rituals.

In a case study done for my Regulation of the Media lessons; I created a case study on the work of Quentin Tarantino; many of his work is controversial, but his are more about racism and violence, were ours is more religion based.

Scripted Story Idea - Start of the Demonic Scene

This is written evidence of the only speaking part of the trailer; this tells the audience the background information about the woods and about what happened, this then gives information to the audience about what has happened and this gives them a reason to give an explanation as to why this is happening, in a modern day scenario:

Filming Schedule

November

Sunday 13th - Here we filmed the scene were you see the characters entering the woods; also today we filmed the picnic scenes and some of the running scenes.
Tuesday 15th - We will edit the filming which we got on the 13^th and then plan on what we need to film for the 20^th

Sunday 20th - We filmed the sacrifice scene but we changed are original plan and drew a pentagram on the ground; as the fake blood was not thick enough and the colour was not as prominent, so it did not show on the trunk.

Tuesday 22th - We will edit the filming and decide if we need to do re-film any of the shots filmed earlier; but also we then decided (after viewing our work) that we needed some different shots and came up with different ideas; that we decided will shoot on the 22th to help to give more variety to our trailer.

Sunday 27th - We will film the new shots that we will add to give the trailer more variety; this consists of 12 new scenes/ or add-ons to the older clips (to segment in) or the clips that we could not do last week (the blood on the trunk).

 

Tuesday 29th - We will the edit the new clips and add this to the trailer; we will then start to think about the music that will accompany the trailer, as by now we will have more of an idea about the length of our trailer; we will also then decide whether we need to re-film any old clips, and also if we can come up with any other ideas that can be imputed into the trailer.

Wednesday 30th – We will use this unexpected time ( because of a teachers strike) to do any last filming of any new ideas; or if we over ran on time on the 27^th then we will film any scenes not done in this time.

December

Thursday 1st – we will edit the clips all together to create our final trailer; also we will develop the music for the trailer and aim to have it completed by the end of the day.
