Time Management- "The Disturbed"

The table below shows the schedule for our upcoming trailer of our new film called "The Disturbed". We filmed in various locations, including Ashtead, Leatherhead and Fetcham. This gives the audience a sense of realism as it is set all over instead of just one location. Each individual had a role in the planning but when it came to creating the trailer we all shared the roles with helping in the filming and editing to give us a better understanding and experience of the production.

The mise-en-scene, such as the clothing, was chosen specifically to get a certain reaction from the audience so they understand who the main protagonist is and who the extras are too. The black clothing of the main antagonist (Ryan Eastman) shows he is the murderer of the film and is the evil within the home of our main Protagonist. 

The lighting of our film is quite light as it is in a house but is dark at times, especially in the woods, which adds to the Horror aspect. 

We used many shots, including high angle shots and close ups, to show the vulnerability of the characters and enhance the situation they have found themselves in.

Production update

On Wednesday 7th January we travelled to Fetcham to continue the production of our film, "The Disturbed", and we used a variety of camera angles and locations to add a dynamic angle to our film. Each individual had a different role; Connor's role was to help film and also star in the film, Rachel was the main protagonist and also played a directing role in the film too by offering ideas, Ryan was the antagonist and I was also a Director.

On the day we filmed most of our trailer and included many aspects from the horror genre, including props, such as knives, suspense-packed scenes and the idea of a vulnerable woman home alone. We had very low lighting to give it that horror aspect. The mise-en-scene of the antagonist was a long black coat that covered the entire body of the murderer as if he was a shadow-we chose this colour as black is the typical colour of an antagonist but also because the colour black connotes evil and darkness. He then had a knife in his hand which was his murder weapon for the film but throughout the film other props/weapons would have been used.
