What do you want to photograph? That relates to your Film Trailer idea


The police tape relates alot to the pictures i have picked on google and the aim is to make sure it looks quite creepy for the whole name of the trailer "ghosted".

This is another picture that relates because you can tell a case is happening in the photo and you can tell it is a death of someone or how someone is missing.


Are there any images similar online that you can use as reference material for your images





How might you show Binary Opposition, Enigma or Action Codes in your photographs?

Binary opposition

In the pictures it shows that there is a crime scene and the clue is the police tape for each picture the gloves are also more or less the same as well so you can tell it is a serious crime.

Enigma

In one of the pictures you can also see the lanyard has blood on it so that shows that something has gone on and it is a bad situation the questions that people want to know is what has gone on? why is there blood on the lanyard? where is the missing person gone?

Action code

Where is the blood come from?


On location photography

What are you going to photograph?


• On location (outside/inside) - outside- worden park


• Ideas might be crime scene a discarded shoe or a phone next to police markers.

These are some of the clips i put into the trailer so it leaves questions and for people to think what has actually happened it also leads up to more dramatic affects in the trailer with more quick shots and it creates more tension.




• Blood splatter or smears on a phone or a glass window/door. • An identity card lost in the grass • A gloved hand picking up evidence and putting it in an evidence bag


(examples of what you did)








Studio


What are you going to photograph?





Studio lighting: High key and Low lighting • Ideas might be a laptop open with low key lighting • A silhouette of a friend/killer/victim against the light • Coloured gels or filters to create shadow effects • Head and shoulder shots of the cast and crew (Talent) for the press pack and publicity


(examples of what you did)

These are most of the examples we did and we used the greenscreen just incase we needed to add anything in the background to make posters intresting or anything else so it could be edited out if it looked boring and with the green screen it will look better because you can add any picture/image from the background to make it fit with the genre.





Review of shoot: What would you do differently?

We could of took more shots and more scenes in the trailer it could of been more clearer as well in some shots.

Do you need to take or plan any other photographs for your final Poster etc?

Most of the photos i have for the poster and i have edited some we took but it could do with extra shots but most of them are not as bad for the final poster.
