Research & Planning: Tag Lines for film poster
These are some possible tag line for our trailer that I would use on my film poster.
'Keep your friends close'
'You never know who your friends are'
We decided to use the first tagline as it is a twist on the phrase, 'keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer' and it fits with plot of our trailer.

Research & Planning: Trailer Updates
Today we did some more filming for trailer. We filmed;
- Scenes in the park, the character running though the woods
- 'Mental illness' forms on the wall
- Blood on hands and a knife
- Pans around the woods
- Shots of feet running
We are going to use most of this footage in the trailer and are going to edit it later this afternoon and see how it works with the footage we already have.

Research & Planning: Film Magazine Progress
This is my film magazine so far, I am unsure if I like the outcome so far especially with the font,however I am planning to take my pictures this week and then see how they look with the style of the magazine so far.
Research & Planning: Shot Locations
Harriet's mental asylum scenes
We used an unused room in college and create a bed, this location worked well as the room had a lot of empty space. It also had a pin-board which worked well for mise en scene as we put extra props up on the board which made the space look more like a hospital room.
College Confrontation Scenes
We are going to use the cafe area in our college for the scene with 3 girls talking about Harriet's character. We are going to try to do this at a time when the cafe won't be that busy, however we do want other people in the background so that it creates a sense of realism.
We are going to use other location in college for the one on one scenes with Harriet and each of the other characters. Some of the locations we are going to use are stairs, door with a window.
Park
For the last scenes/ climax of the film/trailer we are going to film in the park nearby college at around 4pm when it will be starting to go dark.

Research & Planning: Make Up Test Shots
This a make up look I am planning on using for our trailer. I used white, black and grey eye-shadows to create a tired look as I think this fits with what is happening to our main character in the trailer.

Research & Planning: Magazine Cover Idea's
For my magazine cover photo I am going to take a photo of Harriet who is the main character from our trailer.
I have decided not to have the magazine issue as a special horror edition, just an exclusive on our film, including interviews and behind the scenes.
For the colour scheme of the magazine I am sticking to the three colour rule using black, white and either blue or red.
I am planning on using two fonts on the cover that I will mostly download from 'da font'. I am calling my magazine 'Rewind' as it links to film and cinema.
