SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS AND WEBSITE

These are the links to our social media platforms as well as our website. As these websites are among the most popular social network sites, we thought that by sharing our trailer we would be able to attract a larger audience between the ages of 12-20 which is what our trailer audience is targeted at. We plan to include behind the scenes information and images as well as post quizzes and competitions in order to keep our audience engaged, updated and excited for the trailer.

At the moment we are still working on the website, but we plan to create our own backgrounds to use in order to keep with the consistency and branding of our products. We have also re visited our research and other different websites targeted at our specific audience in order to use similar techniques to create a high quality promotional website that would keep the audience engaged, informed and entertained.

PHOTOGRAPHS FOR OUR POSTER AND GALLERY WEBSITE

These are some photographs that we took in order to include for our poster and the gallery of our website.Most of the photographs were edited by one of our group members in order for them too look a lot more presentable and engaging making them fit both the trailer and our website, so all the products could follow the whole promotional package. In the diffeernet photographs we tried to portray and present the feel and mood that our trailer presented in order for them to look like as if they are telling a short story of our trailer. Thus why most of them include our protagonist and the danger that is presented to him - the virus and the zombies. 

CHANGE IN OUR SCRIPT AND PLOT OF THE STORY 

After we completed our script and looked over the first draft of our trailer, we decided to see how well both of these mathc together and how we could combine the voice over to match with the clips of our trailer. When we looked over the footage that we had to use for our trailer, we realised that we are lacking a lot of characters. We had enough footage of our protagonist, Sebastian, but we did not have any other footage of our other main characaters such as Samantha and Malcom. This was due to not being able to find enough people to act for our trailer. We also didn't focus and plan much on the scense and shots that would include these characters and instead we focsued more on the virus itself, its effects on people and the protagonist as we thought that these type of scenes are visually more engaging and include a lot more action packed and cinematic visual effects than scenes of different characters. We also decided to remove the foucs on the battle between the govorment and the society and isntead to completly turn our attention to making the trailer fulfill a lot more horror/thriller genre conventions. This is why after we disscussed this issue with our group we deicided to try focus more on the footage we already have and perfect it to the best quality we can rather than film other footage that would include different characters. We then looked over our script and read through what our voice over would say. We realised that the sentencing would be too complicated and we also realised that it was too long for our trailer. This is why we decided to make it a lot shorter and a lot less simple so it would follow with the clips on the traielr. The reason why we wanted to include a voice over for our trailer is becasue we felt that it would be easier to introduce and explain the plot and story of our trailer to the audience to reduce any confusion that could be created when the trailer plays.

Second draft Voice Over

"Ordinary day. Ordinary life. Everything was the way it always has been.

Water. That's from where it all begun. People couldn't see it but it was there. Lurking around every corner. Every street. One touch was enough to spread this disease. 

Starting from your lungs, channeling rapidly to your brain, making you enter a trance like state."

"I never knew I was the one. It all started as a hobby. Working night and day trying to break formulaic equations, cracking perplexed algorithms, and multiple different experiments but nothing ever led to success. "

"Until I found it was all in the blood. Spreading slowly around your body and finally reaching your brain. That's when you go crazy."

"No antidote could help. I tried everything. The virus was spreading too fast. And at the end, it would always come to you."

SCRIPT

This is our initial script. As well as the plot of our trailer we have also included some notes and ideas as well as voice over ideas to include in our trailer. We decided that by using a voice over we would be able to tell the represent the story a lot more easily and clearly to the audience as well as to build this strong emotional connection between the viewer and the trailer.

Voice over ideas:

·       Encapsulate whole idea about leptospirosis
·       Easily spread from one human to another

FILMING DAY 2

These are a few images of the day we filmed our chase and zombie scenes. In the beginning we were finding difficulties on finding actors for our trailer. Luckily we finally managed to find some people to act as zombies. I was very happy with the end result of our filming as I think we successfully managed to create a realistic zombie make up effects that would help us to represent the effects and symptoms of the virus as we planned in the beginning. This also helps to fit with the other horror/thriller zombie trailers that I researched. 

FILMING DAY

These are some images that we took whilst we were filming. Following our shooting schedule we managed to film all the different types of scenes that we wanted to include of our protagonist working in a lab. As our trailer mainly focuses on the protagonist and on the virus itself we thought that by filming as much as possible on this location we will be able to have a variety of different shots that we could later use and edit for our trailer. We decided to film a lot of different activities ranging from our protagonist making an experiment using test tubes and microscopes to him working with books and writing on the board in order to achieve the full aesthetic of our character being a scientist.

SHOOTING SCHEDULE 

I have decide to create a shooting schedule list in order to oragnise our times and remind us of when we need to film. That way we allow ourselves more time to prepare and film thus leaving us more time to edit after and therefore being able to do any re shoots after if we need to.

Changes in our trailer: Political to focus on character, genre and zombies.
