Filming Log

As you can see from looking at the Filming Log compared to the Production schedule you can see that there are differences and similarities. The first difference being the dates which we intended on filming on all of our group became unavailable to film on at different times. Also all of the members of our group weren't able to film on the same day but we all attended at least on of the filming days, and all did different aspects during the filming. As you can see from the final column we also didn't use all of the scenes and the ones which we did and did not use are clearly stated.

Location

We decided as a group a number of different locations to shoot for our A Level film trailer.

Grave yard

Our first location was St Andrews Church in Maghull, this was an ideal location as it is dark, erie atmosphere fitted in with the theme of out trailer 'Psychological Horror' In order for us to legally be allowed to film in this locat there we needed permission from the Church Parish. A member from our group sent an email explaining the reason we needed to film there and what were filming. We got a response allowing us to film there.





Cafe

Our second Location was the Costa Coffee in Ormskirk. for a scene in our trailer we needed to use a cafe we chose Costa Coffee in Ormskirk as it is a quite area so we knew that we wouldnt be interupting anybody, and the style of the cafe fitted in with what we were looking for.
Again we were legally required to gain permission to film there, we spoke to the manager of the cafe and she gave us permission to film there, she was also happy to sigh our contributor's release form.





Train Station

Our third location was Maghull train station we chose this trainstation as it was in our area, it also fitted in with the style that we were looking for.
We asked the attendent that was duty if it was ok for us to film she gave us verbal permission on the basis that we did not film any passengers of Merseytravel.




House

Our forth location was one of the members of our groups house. This was perfect for what we needed as she had a long hallway attached to the kitchen ideal for a key scene in our trailer and the perfect sized, spaced bathroom.
We gained permission from her herself and also by her parents who signed a contributor's release form.









Alleyway

Another location was an Alleyway in Maghull. This was perfect as it fitted in with the style of our trailer it was dark, cold and mysterious. We did not need permission from anyone as it is public property.

Field

We also chose the Field/park for another part of our trailer we felt that this fitted in with the happy, warm, friendly theme we were going for in part of our trailer. We didn't need permission to film in this location as it is public property.

House 2

We used this location for the physiatrist part of our scene we felt that the location was perfect. We gained permission for the filming from the the girl's who house it was and who was also part of our team.

Country Lane

We used this location as we felt that the dark, creepy, coldness of the road and open spaces fitted with the theme that we were going for. We didn't need permission to film in this location as it is public property.

Costume Lists

The choice for our costumes had alot to do with the target audience for our trailer. we decided on simple costumes that told the audience what type of character they were. We made sure that the costumes fitted in with the style of today and that they were practical.



This is the costume for the graveyard scene this outfit fitted in with the atmosphere which we were trying to create, as it was a funeral all black was appropriate we thought;



This costume was used for our extra we decided on this as she was supposed to be a lawyer;



this costume was used for our other extra we decided on this as it fitted in with the character she was playing a friend of our main actor;
