Title
Even though we have decided on our fonts for the title for our trailer we are using after effects to animate it onto a short clip of a blinking eye. We will film our main characters eye blinking. This is a mock up of how it will look as a still image which we will use at the end of our trailer to let the audience know the name of our film.
Filmworks International
This is a still of what we hope filmworks international will look like. When we have animated it the globe will be spinning and the name filmworks international will appear when it has stopped. it will also be on a black background.
Writing and producing a screenplay
To write our screen play we used a program called CELTX. This program was simple and easy to use as all we needed to do was write our dialogue into the program and say wether it was a character, dialogue, prop or scene and it would lay it out in the correct way for us. In the begining of the planning for our trailer we chose to have very little dialogue and rely heavily on action and music to set a paranormal tone. However, when it came to using Celtx we decided it would be better to include more dialogue we chose to do this using voice overs and an interview between a student at the school and the inspector.

BBFC restrictions
The British Board of Film Classifications is a board that decides on the ratings of films and therefor they control who is allowed to watch the film. for example a film with the rating 12a means that;
- This film is suitable for those 12 and above.
- However, those younger then 12 are allowed to view the film but only if they are accompanied by an adult.
- Responsibility lies with the adult who is with the child and allowing the child to view the film.
- The work as a whole must not endorse discriminatory language or behaviour
- Dangerous behaviour (for example, hanging, suicide and self-harming) can be allowed provided the detail of such is low so that it can not create too much of an impression of the viewer. Abuse of weapons which are easily obtained will not be tolerated
- Violence may be strong but should not dwell on the infliction of pain or injury.
- The work as a whole must not endorse discriminatory language or behaviour.
Filming Grace
Grace was played by Hayley who is part of our group for the making to the aslyum. Grace is a ghost who was killed in the 1920s she is an importnat character in our movie as she is torumenting inspector sager and trying to force him out.
These scenes were filmed in a place called the void which is below our school and consists of 4 very derelict rooms. We thought this would be a good place to film Grace as the surroundings match her personality as some one who is out of control. The lighting in the void was perfect for these scenes as they were harsh and created interesting shadows. We chose to film some of the shots from behind 'Grace' to take advantage of this effect.
In order for hayley to look scary and ghost like she wore a ripped top with fake blood smeared all over it to make it look dirty. She also wore white powder on her face to make her seem ghotsly and red lipstick that we smudged to add a 'crazed' element to her. after all she is not your average ghost.
Risk assesment
RISK = PROBABILITY x CONSEQUENCE
To make sure nothing happens that will cause harm to our actors, to ourselves or anyone else we conducted a risk assesment.
Risk assesments are carried out in a number of places such as building sites, film sets and places generally in the public domain.
