Trailer: IMMATERIAL GIRL FINAL VERSION

Chosen music for trailer

In the editing of our piece it made sense for there to be a change in music because their is an argument between Hannah and Freddie. We searched for a sad sounding upcopyrighted song that was dramatic and hard hitting. 

All of these were very successful choices and in my opinion fitted the genre of our film. 

Music that we need

We have taken a few photos on filming day: 

Contingency Plan for film day

The Contingency Plan

A Contingency plan is a plan that is devised for all possible outcomes other than the one that is expected. Therefore, it will question all the possible situations that could go wrong on the days of filming and how we as a company will over come these problems if they were to occur. This should make filming run smoothly even if we had a problem occur.

Evaluation of Casting

Evaluating the Casting of our film
It is important for us to evaluate our roles as casting directors.
Our candidates have all been great at contacting us with when they are and am not free.
Within filming we have not had to do too many takes of the same shots due to laughing, giggling or stupidity. All candidates have acted professionally and suitably.

ORGANISING FILMING DAYS

We organised the order of our film so we knew exactly what to film, when and where on the different particular film days.

Testing filming in locations/casting

We tested on filming in our chosen locations and decided that in the daytime was the best for excellent high quality camera work. Here is a few of the videos we took to confirm that our chosen locations were suitable.

Evaluation of Mise-en-scene selections

Change in CASTING

UNFORTUNATELY OUR ACTOR PLAYING KENNETH IS ILL AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE FILMING DAYS. IT IS TOO LATE TO RECAST AND OUR OTHER CANDIDATE HAS BEEN CONTACTED BUT IS UNAVAILABLE. THEREFORE, WE HAVE DECIDED TO CUT KENNETH FROM THE TRAILER BUT HOWEVER STILL HAVE HIM MENTIONED BY OTHER CHARACTERS, LIKE CARA. 

WE HAVE ALSO DECIDED THAT THE PHONE CALL SHOULD BE SPOKEN FROM HANNAH'S MOTHER RATHER THAN HER EX TO AVOID CONFUSING THE AUDIENCE. 

Props and Make up plans

Costumes and Props

As a producer of the film with a little budget we will have to provide our own props and costumne for the production. In a major budgeted film making the company would hire set designers, costume designers and make-up/hair artists.

We can not hire in our own artists because it costs a company a lot of money.

Designers
Costume Designers
Make-Up Artists
Hair Artists

Therefore we need to create a list of the costume needed for each character so our characters can play the part and look presentable. Props may be needed for scenes to make sense and to let the audience understand the trailer.

Script/Outline of shooting for cast

We have created a script for all the pieces of dialogue we think we are needing within the piece. All scripts have been sent out to every cast member so they can rehearse and become familiar with their lines. These should all be learnt by the filming day and this has been stated in the email.

Evaluation of Location choices

Chosen locations

Location ideas 2

Needed Locations

Locations

Locations are essential for telling the main plot or story-line of a film. If the trailer is set within a haunted house and the film is a romantic drama, they're portraying two binary opposite concepts. Therefore, your location must suit your plot and story-line. We have had to justify what locations we need and why, as well as then find the suitable places to film our trailer. If filming in a premises that we are unfamiliar with; it is important for us as a company to make sure we have the rights to be able to film there.

Kenneth's Costumes

Cara's Costumes

Freddie's costumes

Hannah's Costumes

Both Marcia and I have thought and discussed our ideas on costumes for each character. We have done this in order to allow us to be able to notify our actors on what they will need to bring with them on film day as well as what we may need to buy additionally.

Kenneth: Consideration Two

Name: Ken Brewer

Contact Info: KB123@hotmail.com

Suitable to play Ken?

This actor has also contacted us with the hope to play the part of Ken within our short trailer for the film 'Immaterial Girl'. The mans playing age fits exactly to what we wanted. He has two children aged 18 and 21 which makes him believable to look as if he could have had young Freddie, who is also 22 within our film. He is related to the candidate that we offered the part of Freddie to, this sets him up with an advantage as the mise-en-scene for our film (if we were to cast this man) would look very realistic.

Kenneth: Consideration One

Name: Kent Barwell

Chosen Actor for Hannah

Our chosen actor for Hannah was Brianna Barwell aged 17. In evaluation, it was agreed that this candidate met our expectations. She has available to participate in filming at weekends and weekdays, as well as being interested in acting for TV and Film in the long term. Her commitment to the job over ruled all over candidates.

Hannah: Consideration Two

Name: Brianna

Contact Info: BriannaB@gmail.com 

Suitable to play Hannah? 

This candidate is one of the producers of this film and its trailer. She has past experience in the dramatic arts having Grades in drama as well as past experience in productions and shows. She has the ambition to carry on to drama school and so the introduction to acting for camera would be a valuable experience. Her availability stated is exceptional because she is involved within the project she will be available for all rehearsals and filming days. This will be essential in the filming of our trailer being efficient and quick. She has the playing age of quite young compared to what we were wanting but not too young that she wouldn't be cast. Costume and make-up however could be said to help this.
