Things to shoot: Priya Ahluwalia

We have managed to shoot many of the scenes now the only scenes left to do are the scenes at the park, waking up scene and the running to the bus stop.

Re-shooting - Rachael Saunders

Today, 5th March, we managed to re shoot the scenes set in the house. We went to one of our actors houses and filmed the scenes when Ashleigh and Kate have got into the house with their shopping bags, and are about to play hide and seek. This scene is important, because it shows Ashleigh fading away.
We have managed to log and capture this footage, and after looking over it we have all decided that this footage is much better than what we had filmed previously, as there wasn't 'fresh air' above our actors heads and because we used lights this time round, there was no problem with the lighting, it was never dark, so, we could therefore see the whole scene.

Target audience - Rachael Saunders

I think that our film would be aimed at teenage girls, and older, so therefore, depending on how much we include the sinister, male character our film would be either a 12 or 15. If we wanted to get this audience to watch our film, we would have to put it into teen magazines such as "bliss" and "Star" as these sre the magazines most likely to be seen by this age group.

If we were to put this in a magazine such as "Nuts" or "Zoo" typical lad mags, we would not get a big audience for this film as our intended audience are less likely to see the poster and those who would see the poster, would not be interested in a film with a poster like this one.

On all three of my posters, the main images are of females, which shows that therefore the main characters in our film are likely to be female - making this aimed more towards girls.

Why i chose the poster designs - Rachael Saunders

Each of my posters will have two awards on the page, because this would help bring in an audience. Our actors names will always be on the page, so that our audience will know who is in the film. One of the posters will also have the name of one of us directors on there too.

On each of the posters, the tutle will be in big, bold writing, in capitals. I am not sure what colour i would want to do the writing, but because the posters are quite dark, to add to the sinister feeling, i would quite like to have the writing in white, or maybe, a dark red.

Poster three - Rachael Saunders




This idea is very much like the first one, in that it uses the idea of the man mentioned in Kate's speech has something to do with the death of Ashleigh. The reason i liked this poster is because it shows just how close Kate and Ashleigh actually are, it also uses part of the film, when they are both shopping. The dark image of the man staring at them from behind shows that someone or something is about to tear these two girls apart, i think that this poster shows this well.

Just like my first poster, my friends and family feedback said it looked good, however again, it is misleading as our film's main focus is about how Kate has handled the loss of her best friend, Ashleigh, and not how Asheigh has passed away.

Poster two - Rachael Saunders





I liked this idea, because it showed Kate lost and afraid, which shows just how she feels now that her best friend is gone. in the background, you can see the faint shadow of Ashleigh, which would show just why she is so scared. This image would be set with a dark woodland area behind her, which again would add to the sinister aspect i would like to include in our film. The mise' en scene for this would literally just be the trees in the background, and the trees Kate would be holding on to.

When i asked my friends and family about this idea, they said it was a nice idea and that if they saw this poster, they would want to know more about the story, however they also said that the film would need to make sure it met this idea, that kate is lost without her friend.
