Props, Location and Costume.


As a group we had the initial idea for our trailer and what was going to happen. We had drawn a story board for our trailer, and also commented on the changes the we have and will make to make the trailer look more professional. Our next step was to organize the logistics of the trailer and how we were going to film it. We started by organizing a table that included the props, locations and costumes that we intended to feature in our film.


Props
Locations
Costume
GAMES CONSOLE – For use in the trailer, to be used as an outlet for the game to be played on and to show the audience how the game is played.

GAMES CONSOLE CONTROLLER – For use in the trailer, to show what the game is played with and to emphasize the importance of the video game in the film.

TELEVISION – For use in the trailer, to show what the video game is being played on and also to emphasize the hypnotising effect of the video game through the visual aspect on a TV.

VIDEO GAME – For use in the trailer, to show the object that the content of the film is based around and highlight the importance of the video game. 

MEDIA SUITE – For use in the trailer and for the magazine cover. I used its white backdrop for the scene with the newsreader because it provided the professional look that I needed to make it seem realistic. I also used it for the photo shoot for the magazine cover because again it provided the image of real photo shoot.

BEDROOM – For use in the trailer, I used a bedroom for the scenes with the main character playing the video game because it gives the audience a background into the main character and it makes the film feel more realistic. As well the scene with the games console controller, the video game going into the games console and the curtains being shut.

SCHOOL CORRIDOR – For use in the trailer and for the film poster. I used this location as it was a long corridor which was good for the main character and the antagonists to meet from either end, which is portrayed in the trailer. I also used this location for so I could achieve an image for the background of my poster.
SUIT AND TIE – For use in the trailer, in the scene with the news reader, to provide an authentic and professional look needed for to make it look realistic.

SMART CLOTHING – For use in the trailer, in the scene with the bullying in the school corridor, to give the impression of being in a school in order to make the film more realistic.

 DARK CASUAL CLOTHING – For use in the trailer, photo shoot and the magazine cover. This is to give the character a dark and mysterious side and make it more realistic for the film.

Poster and Magazine cover photo shoot.

For my magazine cover and my poster I decided to make a photo shoot with our protagonist so that I could achieve professional looking pictures for my media products. I used a white screen backdrop for these pictures, and took many so that I could find and pick out the good and bad ones. Here are some of the following photos.
