Now that I have sussed out the sequence of events and recorded them on a story board, I need to go to the location and start shooting. I will also take some stills of the area for the poster, magazine cover and possible website, just in case there are no satisfactory screen shots from the film footage. I have access to a camera next week and I believe I will be able to get all the shots I need by Tuesday, the only problem Is that I plan to film in the failing light so I may have to spread it over two nights.

The official web site for"inception" also opens with the trailer, this is something I should include if I choose to make a website to accompany my film, but the style and mode of address is very different in this websites attempts to get sales that of "district 9"s site.
Rather than aiming to extend the fiction of the film making it a more complete story to promote the film this website openly advertises with a "buy this" form of address. I think this st lye of website will be more achievable, but I can still add extra fiction and content if i have the chance.

here I have looked at the website for district 9 this film has an official webs site that accompanies the film, when this site is opened the first thing that happens is the extended trailer is played. if i choose to make a web site I will emulate this feature. The other feature this web site provides is a large map of where the film is set that you can use to click on differnt locations to view images and videos both from the film as well as extra content made for the web site, I like the idea of having extra content for the website but it may well prove to be far to much work in the time I have.

As well as the trailer and the poster I will be doing either a magazine cover or a website to accompany my film. Here I have looked at two examples of magazine front covers, and many of the themes and conventions are similar to those I saw in music magazines. Things like the large central image as the background with text and smaller images around the outside as well as the use of different colours and text size to create a hierarchy shouldn't be to complicated to apply to my film. For the main photo I will use a scene from the film just like the four above, perhaps a dark shot of the attacker silhouetted in the light of the victims torch, or a image a the victim alone in the woods running for his life. From these two examples at least I noticed a break from normal magazine convention in the font of the magazine title. Here the name of the magazine is written in a font and style that is specific to the film on the cover, with the cityscape from "Inception" and the neon blue strips of light found in "Tron". The same thing is clear for "hellboy" and "salt" the art and graphical style of the title fits with the fictional pathos of the film, if I can implement this effectively into my cover then I will do so. The top example has a few elements would like to include in my own work, these include using boxes to highlight article titles, using subtle colour gradients on large texts and I would also like to include a "PLUS+" section as this is a theme in all of these examples. Other techniques I can implement include alternating between bold and regular font and the use of circles to display special articles.  

I have began to consider the sequence of events for my trailer, I have decided to set it in the local woods. The basic outline will be someone walking along at night who is attacked, the first scene will be establishing shots of the area. So they will consists of wide shots of the interior of the woods as well as high angles of the an adjacent hill side, the shots will slowly get more sinister and darker. At this point I will have a scare of some kind this may consist of evidence of bones and blood or drag marks, I also have a shot in mind of a watter fall where a hand bust through from behind it followed by a cutaway be for the hole creature is revealed.This setts the scene and the mood the next sequence, the attack. This will almost defiantly be filmed at night in all most complete darkness. That way I can use a torch the victim has to control lighting and make the shots more dramatic, the first shot of the victim is him walking alone through the wood. The next shot is a close up of his legs and feet as he hears a suspect noise and stops dead. following this is a close up of his face as he slowly turns to investigate the noise. After this is an over the shoulder or possible POV shot from the victim showing his torch flicker over his pursuer as he rushes towards him.
