This is a servey that I did at the beginning of the project, I passed it around both adults and teenagers to get a mixed response as to what film they would like, as you can see Horror got the most votes which is what we had decided to do anyway. Action did come close however, so we were thinking of including that into the film also.

This was good feedback since we were dithering and had basic ideas for a horror movie aswell as other films so it was a confirmation that we were going in the right track.

Film Distributer

http://www.bountyet.com.au/

Bounty Films could be a possible distributer for our film. They distribute small films, for cheap prices and normally specify in the Horror/Thriller genre. The production has also produced some succesful films, such as 'The Human Centipede' which became a viral hit around the world.
This would be perfect for our film since we are planning to do a zombie film and they have produced a lot of films that genre, they also advertise their films well and give them good reviews.

Storyboard Video

After finishing the images drawn on Paint Tool SAI, I imported the images into Adobe Premier Pro -which should be the programme that we use to edit our own film opening - and added them together in sequence, this should show more succesfully what we plan to do.

Unfortunatly the programme has cropped some of the clips.



Movie and Production names

This lesson we decided as a group what would be our film name and the name of the production company. We had thought of a few names previously but decided against them, finally today we settled on 'State Of Emergency' as our film name and 'Dead Cell' as our Production Company name.
I think that both of these fit well with our film and hopefully what it will be about.

Starting to create video storyboard

Started to work on a more detailed storyboard by drawing using Paint Tool Sai and my Bamboo Tablet, then I will put it all together on Windows Movie Maker since that is the programme I have at home to make a video. This will show what we plan to film, and will work as a guideline for us when we get down to filming.

Story Board

I designed the storyboard for the film using the plan/timeline that we created last lesson, these are just rough drawings but hopefully this is what it will look like somewhat.

Hopefully from this I can create a storyboard video to upload.

Recce shots

Went out this morning and took some more possible location shots, although I don't think they will be as good as the previous one because the wooded area isn't as big, and since what we had in mind had a lot of walking it wouldn't be that suitable. It could come in handy if we needed somewhere extra though, as it isn't far to get to.
