Another location shot...

Due to difficulties concerning transport, I will be using a field which is near my house for the outside scene. This is going to produce the same atmosphere and it has very good photographics shots which I can use for my magazine cover and poster.

I will still be using my bedroom for the bedroom scene as this is the location I need and want for one element for my practical production so there are no difficulties there.

I will keep you up to date with any problems that I may come across throughout my personal production.

FILMING ON MONDAY!!

Practical production will begin on Monday the 19th of December.. woo!!

All my actors are available on this day and I have my location sorted, the only thing I need to do is to get filming equipment sorted and start filming.

Before this day, I will make sure that I redraft my storyboard and make a script so that my actors know what they are going to say. This wont take long and I will also be able to show this in front of my focus group tomorrow.

A mix up with the actors...

Due to circumstances beyond my control, the actors which I have said that I will be using I will not be using. This is because they cannot possible make the times which I can do. Therefore, I will need to rearrange my actors.

For my male and female leads will be played by Diana Howes and Solay Elibol. I have chosen these two to be my male and female leads because they have great chemistry together and it helps that they are a couple off the screen. Also, I can easily get these two to act in my teaser trailer.

My female support will be played by Amy Patterson who was going to play my female lead but because I can't access anyone who has great chemistry with her as they are all doing there own media work or other work which means they can't be in my teaser trailer, I have chosen her to be this character. This is because I think she would be better suited for this character and therefore it will make my teaser trailer a lot better.

Review of this website - http://www.dimensionsguide.com/

This website is very helpful when I have to look at making the poster and magazine cover for my practical production.

On the website link (http://www.dimensionsguide.com/poster-size/) it shows the dimensions of the different poster sizes across the world and which ones would be suitable for what you need to do. So, when I design my poster I will be looking at this website to get the most appropriate poster sizes for my final piece. Personally, this website is very helpful to me and I will be using it when I need to make my poster.

It also has a website link to magazine cover sizes (http://www.dimensionsguide.com/magazine-sizes/). This shows the dimensions of different magazines and this will help me in my final piece as this will help me to think of appropriate measurements for my magazine cover and what sort of dimensions I want it to make it look appealable to my target market.

After reviewing the website, I think that this website is a very helpful website as this will help me hugely when I need to make proper measurements for my poster and magazine cover.

What is going to be done over the next week!!

Over the next week, I will be drafting a script and getting everything ready for my practical production. I will have everything done so that I can then redraft the storyboard and the script so that my practical production is well done.

I will also be drafting a poster so that I have a rough idea of what I want my poster to look like. I will then redraft it so that it is well done and that it will help me gain the most amount of marks possible!!

My magazine cover which I will be making will also be drafted so that I have a rough idea of what this looks like before I make the real thing on the computer. This will also be redrafted so that it looks good.

All of these different elements of my practical production will be shown to my focus group and I will get their opinions on what they think looks good so that all of the elements that I must create will be targeted to my target market effectively!!
