Ancillary Task 1 (Poster Analysis)

I have chosen some posters of films from the same genre as my short film and analysed them to help me formulate ideas for my own poster.

Start of Editing

I have my first reel of footage for my short film and I have already started to piece together one of the scenes in the film. I have filled some aspects of the film in with similar things to whats going to be used in the film to make it look more realistic in this rough edit, this will make more sense through the use of examples. I am using Final Cut Pro to edit my film.


Here is some of the footage I got for the scene. It can be seen that I tried many takes of different camera angles and lighting to give me more choice to make my film with. Some footage and angles which I used may never be used.


Here is the current edit of the film I have so far. I have added the music and news report in the background to give any viewers of the rough copy more of an idea to what is meant to be going on in this scene, however these sound files will probably not be used in the final cut as I would've created my own diagetic and non-diagetic sound which are more suitable to my film

Photography From 1st Shoot

I took a few pictures of my sets on the first day of filming. This images can be used to contrast with the final edit and can also pitch my ideas more clearly to the cast and crew on set.


This first picture is of the main characters bedroom. The shot in the film will be slow and dark which creates tension.


This picture shows an ominous hallway which is dark at the end. Again, this shot will be slowly zooming in to build tension.


This last image is the set where the main character is relaxing and watching TV in the evening. It is currently well lit to make sure it is a detailed shot however i may change it to give a darker room which adds that fear factor.
