gantt chart (trailer)
Category: Unit 1 Alex video/ film
advert project
i could then wrap the strig around the base so i could then pull it slowly towards the camera so i could speed it up to the speed i wanted.
this was my first draft, i think the music and cuts go well with the music but i completely skipped on the folly sounds. so in my next draft
overall i think my final product came out great. I feel like i could have learnt some adobe after effects and got a better quality video overall.
Changing my idea
The idea i first originally planned, i was to do alot outside. when it is winter its is cold and miserable and there is no way i can do it and have it look nice and the way i want it. I also found problems when i re watched it.
so im changing my idea linking to the game “Phasmaphobia” and a movie i resently watch on netflix called “Don’t Listen” they both has the same goal of solving, getting rid of a ghost and more.
ill need scenes of setting up cameras and other equipment
i need to build it up
researching about ghosts (see something about cameras)
first scenes is going to be slow, setting up cameras.
researching about ghosts (sees something about a ghost box
then when talking to the voice box i want the lights to flicker and it cut to black with spooky red eyes
a red herring
A red herring is something that misleads or distracts from the main objective.
Here is a great movie example of a red herring:
so we need to hide the real thing and try and cover it with
so my end plot is going to be this monster tracking you down with the person allowing to give the location of themself onto google maps or some site.
Ideas for red herrings:
sharp object on the path they are running on
tree thats about to fall
nearly gets hit by a car
something falls into the running shoe
Gimbal stabilizer
i got an opportunity to play with a gimbal stabilizer. If hold a camera with a hand and try and get a smooth sliding shot its going to be shaky and not look natural. with a Gimbal stabilizer if you do a sliding motion it will keep the camera smooth and can give off a nice mystical and magical feel like the Shrek musical trailer:
the “pf” realigns the axis and keeps it steady and the “L” makes it loose and you can control it. you control it with the big black and red joystick. the red dot making the camera record when clicked also with a focus and zoom wheel on the opposite side
but before you can use any of the buttens and mess around you have to use these levers to balance the camera otherwise the weight with unbalance the camera and wont work.
Finalising my short film idea
After a mind map and scraping my first idea about a one cut because of time
First person Horror film about not reading the allow pop up on your screen.
The basic trailer:
at the start it will start out as a normal life, waking up for a run and then getting ready for the day. They will then start walking and then he will access there phone and the a pop up will pop on the person will just click allow this will cause a pop up at the end of a trailer to to cover the screen with a glitching allow screen to end the scene. also the ratio will slowly be changing with a big cut at the end.
talking about my ideas
here me and Alex talked about about my ideas and

What’s your perspective (1st person)
location cast crew and equipment
Locations cast and equipment are all very important to plan ahead. For locations, you may need to rent or block off an area for filming. a simple location or wrong props can really make the scene just so much more better or worse.
Locations i can use:
House, apartment, any public area
Cast:
Ben
Equipment:
Camera, tripod, editing software
location, cast, crew and equipment are super important in making i film or advert as you need to plan and organise the people
ideas for a final project
type of advert:
youtube advert: youtube adds can last for aslong as you want but 5 seconds to keep the person watching
instagram advert: make an instagram page, logo, products, story advertising, post advertisement. Stories video ads can only be 1-15 seconds long and in-feed instagram video ads can only be 1-60

Aspect ratio
The aspect ratio is the height and width of the screen. Most directors will use ratios they are comfortable with but ratios can show a Certain emotion. Such as a 4:3 can be used to show Isolation
