Location Change

As we were recording our film trailer, we encountered several problems such as being low on numbers and mainly having lighting and sound issues. We wanted a lot of our trailer to be recorded during the night time as this reflects a horror film and with the clocks going back, this meant that we had less time to record in the dark making it very difficult to time when the lighting is just right. Darkness would draw very early and we couldn't judge exactly what time it would meaning that a lot of our clips were trial and error with the majority resulting in error. Even when it weren't pitch black and we thought that it would be ok to record, our high quality camera still couldn't pick up image and the resulting shots would be pitch black such as in the example shown.

From the images shown, the majority of our original trailer consisted of exterior shots to go with the storyline whether this may be a pan of the Maghull entrance sign or a landscape shot of the farm/field we were using to record. The images of the forest/woods show where a lot of our action scenes would have took place such as fast paced chases through the woods or a crime scene investigation. I believe the images that I have used represent the location as being effective however the lighting and sound that came with the location were not and made it very difficult to record high quality footage. If we had used the footage that was shot at these locations then out trailer would look very unprofessional which persuaded us to make the decision of changing our location and storyline.

Although some of the clips that we shot at these locations were good, the rest were
taken over by things such as darkness, and the sound of wind and cars which made them unusable. We argued that the sound in clips could have been edited out or altered with in iMovie, but we came to the conclusion that it was best not to bother as it could have actually made them worse making it a waste of time.

I really like the bottom shot of the field as it provided a great scenery for our film with a large open field and hay stacks to support our synopsis of a killer farmer. We experienced drastic changes in the wheather when recording such as rain-showers and sunshine which can be seen in the photo with dark and light clouds. The photo looks very effective when it was shot and we made sure that we had permission to use and record the land off the homeowner who's field it was.
