Planning: Contact Sheet

For our magazine cover and cover we took various photos of our actor Phil, who plays Brian (the villain) in our trailer.



 

By adjusting the lighting and taking multiple shots, we managed to choose the most appropriate images from the selection we had.

Planning: Music Source

The music sourced for our trailer cam from royalty-free websites that allow people to download their tracks and use them in their own productions.

The intense instrumental track that will be used during the running/chase scenes is by and artist called TeknoAXE. We used this as it gave a modern edge to our trailer, and this genre of music appeals to the people in our target audience. http://teknoaxe.com/cgi-bin/link_code_2.pl?287

The eery ambient background music was sourced from http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?feels%5b%5d=Mysterious&page=1

All of the sound effects that we didn't record for ourselves were sourced from soundbible.com (gunshot, sound of rifle butting Nick etc)

Planning: Font used for the film's title "Captive"

As a group, we picked the font we will use to show the title of our film to be used by using dafont.com as a resource. This font will be used in both our trailer and poster, and possibly on our magazine cover too.

Before deciding which font we definitely wanted to use, we shortlisted 10 and tried them out on our digital poster mock-ups, before eventually deciding on using 28 Days Later (number 1 on the picture below).

After playing around with various colours, we decided to use a dark red on a black background.

The black connotes the darkness of certain aspects of the film, and the deep red represents the danger within the plot.
