No more Denver :(

We have had some problems with the actors/actresses that we'd have liked to use...
Denver, the original main character (Allen Spencer), is no longer able to participate in our film, which I'm gutted about. However, its ok because Dan has 'volunteered' to fill in. :)

Denver if you're reading this we would like you to know that you have let us down... Even though you can't be in media with us anymore, we expected you to still make, we mean help us, with our trailer! Now we just don't know what to do! What would we have done if Dan had refused to step in??? WE WOULD FAIL... THANK YOU DENVER :P
We have, however, finally forgiven you and would welcome you back into our group anytime... hint hint ;)
love Lisa and Jana :) :) :)

Distribution of our trailer

"One of the UK's leading independant film distributors, Pathe Distribution releases around 20 titles each year, ranging from quality and specialised films to crowd-pleasing mainstream movies and genre titles." - http://www.pathe.co.uk/

I think that Pathe would be a good distributor for our film because our film will be a specialised British film by new directors.

Some films distributed by Pathe include 'The Queen', a major British Film.

A similar film to ours, distributed by Pathe, is The Blair Witch Project (1999). It has the same genre of horror/thriller/mystery. Therefore, we know that Pathe will be a suitable distribution company for our film.

Practice Filming

We practiced some more interesting and advanced filming techniques like jumping over the camera, filming shadows, and experimenting with the use of a reflection in the mirror.
Here is our footage:

The jumping over the camera makes it look like Lisa has jumped down the flight of steps. We filmed it in three shots- Lisa running up to the camera, jumping over the camera, landing and running on.
The use of the reflection in the mirror was quite difficult to film because we had to make sure you could not see the camera in the reflection too.
I like the filming of shadows because it adds a bit of variety. It is also useful for when you do not have realistic looking weapons.
I think that the jumping over the camera looks quite quite effective, however I think we need a bit more practice with that shot to improve.

Shots in our trailer

Here is a detailed table of which shots we are going to try and include in our trailer:
