UPDATING MY TRELLO

I have updated my Trello so that I stay up to date with what I have done and what I still need to do. I have managed to move across five things since I have created my Trello which shows that I am up to date with my work and what needs to be done.

CONSTRUCTION: ADDING A SCENE

After watching our film over we felt that it may not be clear to the audience that the protagonist is a war photographer, therefore we have filmed additional footage which makes her profession clear. 

We felt that this filming went well and really brings our film opening together.

I took an image showing the props that we used to film this scene so that it suggests to the audience Susan March's job. The camera suggests that she is a photographer, when we see the label on the folder it becomes clear she is some sort of war photographer working on a documentary for the BBC. All the images inside the folder also suggest this.

CONSTRUCTION: RE FILMING THE GIRL AND HER TOY

Today I filmed an additional scene of the young girl and her toy. We needed to add this footage in as the audience needs to see an instant link between the girl holding the toy and the toy being on barbed wire. Therefore this shows a code of danger, as the little girl seems inseparable from her toy yet they are now separated. The visual code of barbed wire is also very starling for the viewer as this image is usually seen as dangerous and something to be cautious of.

CONSTRUCTION: RECORDING THE LULLABY

Today in our lesson we have recorded the lullaby of Hush Little Baby which will go on top of our instrumental soundtrack. We went into the schools recording studio which meant that we had a quiet surrounding and it also meant there was an echo. This gave an atmospheric noise to the voice which we though was necessary to create a thriller effect.

Georgina sang the song multiple times to make sure that we had the best one to go onto our film.

CONSTRUCTION: CREATING OUR IDENT

Today we made our ident using stop frame animation. It consisted of us taking a photo and then moving the hot air balloons up and down as real hot air balloons would. We have finished this part however we will add a title on iMovie, which will be HOT AIR PRODUCTIONS, as we feel this would be more effective. 

I created an Animoto with all the images taken of us whilst we were creating the animation.

Creating our Ident

UPDATING TWITTER AND FACEBOOK

We have updated our Twitter and Facebook with more tweets and status'. This is so that we keep our followers up to date and promote our own film. We have made status' to create a buzz by doing a countdown. We also added a gallery to show our fans and followers "sneak peek" images of our opening.

We have also written tweets to do the same thing and created a #HushLittleBaby which means that our film can be found by many people and can trend therefore getting us more support. This is a successful way to attract our target audience as they are likely to use Facebook and Twitter regularly. 

CONSTRUCTION: MAKING A TRELLO

In class today I made a Trello to organise all of the tasks that we still need to do to complete our film.

I will move each thing across once it has been completed, into the done column. This will allow me to monitor the work I still need to do and see the achievements I have already made.
