Update on the character 'Scott'

This is the new actor we will have playing the character Scott, our previous actor is no longer able to be a part of our production due to personal reasons, out new actor is able to be part of the production for the full time and will be part of the work for the remaining duration of the course. I've posted this on the blog that it makes sense when looking back at previous character profiles as the previous actor is featured earlier on in my blog on the character profiles. The character has stayed exactly the same however so no other disruption has come to the performance  

Research and Planning

looking at existing magazines - by looking at existing magazines I gathered information and ideas that could be used in my magazine, this helped me as i could use all of the existing aspects and conventions to my own benefit whilst slightly changing them so they weren't exactly the same and to also better suit my style of magazine, this was very helpful of this reason but sometimes this was  set back as it didn't allow me to create my own ideas and it by looking at a wide range of magazines i also realized that not all the conventions of magazines were suited to all magazines as some worked on different genres better, this meant I couldn't us as many ideas, but in a way this was also good as it let me experiment making them better and more fitting to my style of magazine. In the future I would do this differently as I now know what style I would go for, this has not yet effected my current coursework but it will do when it comes to designing my film posters and other advertisements

Post Production

Front cover:

For my front cover I made the words fit around the photo of my artist, I did this so you could see the picture but also because it makes the page look more photogenic. By using different fonts I also made the magazine look more eye catching, appealing and more like a real magazine,

Film and Production logo feedback

This is the feedback from both of my logos, I asked 3 people in my target audience that I trusted to give honest feedback on my logos, they all gave me positive feedback on my logos and also mentioned what I could do improve them. The people I interviewed all picked out there favourite logo within the logos I have produced and I took this into consideration when choosing my final logo

Locations

A list of locations we will use to film our scenes that will feature in our trailer.

House - To film Nathan in his own home, to see what he is like when he his by him self and not being watched by bullies. It will mainly be in Nathans room that we will be filming but we will sometimes venture out. This is where Nathan will start his social media terror. It will also be where he is playing his violent video games that give him ideas on how to kill his school bullies

Park - some of the murder scenes will be taking place in the park. We will just be filming the build up to the murder as we don't want to give away any spoilers. The park is a spooky environment witch suits our horror genre very well. If the lighting is right in the park, it will be the perfect location for our murder scenes.

School - The place Nathan will be filmed getting bullied by Scott. This is quite a stereotypical place to film bullying and that is why it is a great place to film it. The audience will expect bullying to take place at a school, the surprise will be how Nathan turns from being a nice young school boy to a serial killer.

Inside Of Car - This is how Nathan gets around. He is seen a lot in his car listening to strange mysterious music.
