Welcome to my blog for my A2 Media Studies coursework. With Hayley Pitcher, we have planned and created a 5 minute pyschological thriller entitled 'Mind Trap', which focuses on the life of Lucy, a teenager suffering from schizophrenia. As well as this, we have created two anciliary products; an audio advert that would be fit to broadcast on the radio and a poster to advertise our film to our demographic.

3rd November 2010

We managed to film everything we needed over the half term, but when we got back to school, we realised that some of the things we shot need to be reshot. Also, we may need to shoot some more content, e.g. some more shots of Lucy running, more close ups, etc.
We have arranged a third day of shooting with our Lucas actor and asked him to wear the same costume as he did before to help with continuity. We have also borrowed the same flip camera and tripod, as well as an SLR camera to take some photos for our poster. We originally planned to use a normal digital camera for our poster photos, but this will cause problems as our photos would not be as good as with an SLR camera. For my coursework last year, I tried to get away with using my digital camera, but, even though my digital camera is a good quality and has 12.2mpx, the pictures we not supported by Adobe InDesign properly. This time, in order to create the best poster possible, we have no option but to use an SLR camera.
