Victim: Kristian


Final Girl: Emily White

Victim: Jacob.

Research & Planning: Photographs for 'After Dark' Poster.

Here are some photo's I took whilst filming for the trailer, although there are a couple of photographs with the correct shot type I was looking for I don't think the lighting is appropriate as there was low lighting due to the time meaning I had to use the flash that distorted the photographs, however I'm going to use photoshop to try and edit it so that it shapes a solute for the poster.


Wide shot: high key lighting.


Blur: orange lighting.

Long Shot: the scarecrow,

Yesterday we filmed the main body of our trailer, all that is left to record is the outdoor news report where we plan to film on the 19th of Jan as It's the only time we have free. Here are some photographs on location, we decided to take some before photographs to show each place where we recorded.

Research and Planning: Background for news footage

Background.

'City News' logo.
Today I began to design the background for the news footage, by using the Internet I found the background however by changing the layers and took down the opacity to give it a different appeal. Also designed the 'City News' logo on photoshop.
