Weather for beach scene

Now we are ready to start filming, our first filming date is Wednesday 10th November. Our filming location is at the beach are filming a short scene of Lucas and Grace. By looking at the weather on the internet we know that the conditions are good for filming. We are also able to tell our actors the day and time we are filming.



Poster

This is a draft of our ancillary task. We have decided to do a poster that shows the audience a little bit about the film. The poster is important as it helps market the film and show the audience when its coming and who is in it. We have decided to show the male character looking at the two train tracks this shows the two choices in the film. Across the top of the poster is our production name, our film name and our tag line that reads ' Sometimes its the smallest decissions that can change your life forever'.

We made our poster in Adobe Photoshop so we were able to layer pictures and change the opacity to make different parts of the image stand out. We found these images on the internet. As this is just our first draft we know we have many things to improve such as the background, for this draft we decided to put a picture of a train to fill up the white space between the text and image of the man we have decided it looks to busy and when we do our final poster we are going to make our male character bigger to fill up the gap also the male character will be looking forward and will be more of a silhouette.

Film Name

As a group we discussed names for our film, we decided we wanted a name that was relevant to the concept of our film. We wanted the name to relate to choices and decisions and therefore translated decisions into Latin which came up as 'sentential',' judicium', 'iudicium' this seemed to magical and portrayed the wrong genre for our short film. We then came across the word 'intersection' which means; a point where lines intersect or a junction where one street or road crosses another which is relevant to the train lines crossing. As a group we all agreed to the name Intersection as its memorable and connotes the right genre for our film

Costumes

The costumes are important as they show the audience more about the characters.
Lucas's Costumes:

• Casual Outfit: This is a picture of Lucas in his casual outfit; this was taken on our first filming day where we filmed Lucas and Grace and the beach.

• Will you marry me T-Shirt
• Suit

Grace's Costumes:

• Casual Outfit: This is a picture of Grace taken at the beach on the first day of filming she is in casual clothes. Graces costumes through out the short film are casual.

Characters

In our short film we have two characters who are in their 20's. Lucas who is being played by Jack Reynalds and Grace who is being played by Aimee Richardson.

Lucas is the main character in our short film he has two different personalities because we follow him in two different lives. In one life he is married and happy and in the other life he is rich and has a good job but he is lonely and sad. Grace is conveyed as a happy person, Grace is the reason for Lucas's happy life.

Locations

We have many small clips of different locations in our short film to help move on time and show Lucas's and Grace's relationship growing; the locations are the beach, the forest, a restraunt and a park . however the main location in our film is a train station this is where our film starts and finishes. Our other filming locations consist of a big house and a regular sized house to show the two different paths. We will also film at an office to show Lucas is a businessman .
