Cast Release Forms

For legal use of another persons image I require a cast release form, this is signed by the acting party stating that I have permission to use their image.

The reason why it appears that no numbers have been written on to the release forms is because in the matter of security I have edited them out so that no one on the internet could use these numbers to harass any of the actors or director. 

Shooting Scheduled

To properly manage when I require my actors for filming I, with them, have arranged appropriate times for both me and them to film the required shots. I have then placed the information into the table below for my own organisation and reference.

Robin’s availability schedule

Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday
11:30AM – 12:40PM	10:20AM – 11:30AM	Not available	1:40PM – 2:50PM	9:00AM – 10:10AM

My Shooting schedule

Date	Actor	Time	Location
Wednesday the 28th of November	John Hamlin	10:20AM – 11:30AM	Green room
Thursday the 29th of November	Robin Pawlett Howell	1:40PM – 2:50PM	Location shoot
Friday the 30th of November	Robin Pawlett Howell	9:00AM – 10:10AM	Green room
Monday the 3rd of December	Robin Pawlett Howell	11:30AM – 12:40AM	Balcony-Wyke college

by creating this schedule I now have an organised way of knowing when and where shoot, but also if necessary when I am able to use my main actor.

Test Shot analysis

To make my film trailer I need to know how to create the various parts that will make up my trailer, this will include; special effects, sound effects and the managing of sound tracks. To make sure what I plan to create is all with in my capabilities I have created a test video of various shots to test if they function as they should and where any changes should be made when it comes to creating the film trailer.

Testing	Time in test video	Did it function properly?	What should I change?
Extended sound track	00:00 - 01:41	Yes the track did perform with great precision and all changes between tracks were subtle and were not too sudden, except one.	At 01:02 the track changed to another section and the change was too sudden as it is supposed to be a subtle change at this point, so I will amend this error for the final version.
Using FX effects	00:10 – 00:12	Yes the effect did work and was fully functional with no errors.	There is nothing to change, however the effect may want to be more carefully placed on the shot/image used.
Syncing sound to FX effect	00:22 – 00:26	Yes and no, the effects and sound synced on the first effect but not the second. And the effects showed a border that made them less convincing.	I will place sound effects more carefully when using them with effects and make sure that all FX are used in the correct position and not within a border.
Green screen effect	00:28 - 00:34	Yes, there were no errors with the green screen effect.	There were no errors but the background was slightly too bright compared to the actor so a slight change in the brightness of the green screen effect would improve the effect.
Voice and sound comparison	00:28 – 00:34	No, the track was muted during the voice.	I will move the voice track further down to its own sound bar in the editing suit which should make all sounds play without error.

By completing this test of certain shots I now know to take more care when creating these effects/shots and make certain changes that will allow the trailer to perform correctly and have no issues making it appear more professional.

Fort Paull Location

These images are some of the ones I have taken from Fort Paull and have and may use for my film trailer.

This is one of the many videos I have recorded at Fort Paull and plan to edit and use in the film trailer.

Target Audience

My demographics showed that;

•     57% were from Hull
•     71% were aged 16 – 20
•     57% were male
•         33% were of social class A
•     33% were of social class E

My psycho-graphics showed;

•     85% mostly enjoyed the action adventure genre
•    100% enjoyed a fast paced trailer
•     33% preferred a narrative in the trailer

The data I have gathered shows how the target market is of a younger generation who like quick action filled trailers that detail what is happening.

Animatic

I have created a rough version of my planned trailer, I have done this so I can see how well my video performs with the music and to see how the shots fare out. One main issue I have had during the creation of this animatic is the music within it, this is because since I am creating a film trailer I had to create my own track to play to my video and this took many hours of; music research, clipping out useful parts and collating the tracks into the perfect track for my video.

as you can see in my animatic I have used many different tracks that make the music of the trailer unique, from examining my animatic I can see that i require a few more shots to make it a more appropriate length for my coursework.

over the course of creating this animatic i have enjoyed the many hours I have spent creating the track I have used in the video and have learnt how difficult it can be and now know how to face these situations in the future.

Music tracks

Since I have decided to create a film trailer whilst majority of my class have chosen a music video I had the disadvantage that I did not know what music tracks to use, with this issue I had to find useful tracks that will work with my trailer and I searched YouTube and the internet and found some interesting tracks.

This image shows I have indeed found some music tracks I will be using in my film trailer  as you can see i have noted out certain parts of each track. this is because I have singled out the parts i like the most and that are the type of music i am looking for to create the mood i am aiming to create.

The music tracks my media teacher, John Hamlin, aided me in acquiring are;
