Media Coursework, Update.

As of 01/02/10 i have finished my primary filming for my teaser trailer. I have shot all the shots needed for my teaser trailer and have been logging them on final cut pro as well as getting a basic timeline for them done.

I have seen that some shots may need to be re-shot so i will be keeping my camera until after half term to try and get them done but this is due to actors availability etc...

As for filming and my work up until now i have faced some chanllenges and obstacles. My original teaser plan had to change as i was unable to get the roundhouse hub to film my masqeurade scene. My back up plan also didn't work as i was planning on using the crypt for the masquerade scene instead, my church was using the crypt on weekends which meant i was unable to use it.

This meant i've had to change my teaser plan accordingly without changing my idea. I will post an updated teaser plan after this.

In terms of actors, it would have been difficult arranging for all of them to meet up as it would of required a lot of them and the main actors had re-takes etc... to revise for and do so i have had to function that into my revised teaser plan. This has meant rather than people coming to see me when it suited me, i chose to go see them in their free time as it suited them better and i planned enough time in my day to go and see my actors.

Filming itself has been simple as in my new teaser plan, the first 20 seconds are shots of people wearing masquerade masks and just, essentially, looking at the camera so filming that has proved simple and with editing will be good as i can use after effects to make a video wall of all the people wearing masquerade masks. The other shots have also been simple and will be described in more depth in my teaser plan.

The sound had been an issue but i have found a few free music sites which provide good music which i can use and i plan to use 3 different tracks for my final trailer.

I have also started research on posters and been practing editing posters.

There have been some problems with me making my animatic and also my uploading powerpoints onto slideshare so i can post them onto here but hopefully those issues will be resolved soon
