Filming the trailer

Filming the trailer was one of the fun parts of the projects and the important bit as well. As we already knew how to use the camera and were more experienced with it, this time round was very simple and easy especially as most of the scenes that we shooting were from the characters point of view.



Me and my partner worked together to be able to do the filming as together we were able to work out the most efficient way to complete the filming. Most of the times, the actor had to hold the camera and so all we had to do was instruct on how to hold the camera and to move the camera according to the actions of the characters.

The use of the tripod was limited this year however there were certain parts we did use it. The tripod we had this year was much longer and would go really high which was beneficial to us.

Production logo

My production logo:


Coming up with ideas for the logo was quite fun/ At first we were going to use the one that we created last year but change the image of it so that its different but still part of the same production. However, we felt that it would best to change it to try something new and fun. This is because last year we create out logo by hand and uploaded and manipulated it on Photoshop. This year we have much more knowledge on the software and how to use the different tools and so wanted to create the image directly on Photoshop.

After brainstorming ideas, my partner came up with an idea of 'Two-Two Mirror productions' which I really liked and felt was different and unique. Though its quite simple, its really effective and stands out. As we have the used the word mirror in it, we wanted to use this in the logo to show the mirror imagery. All we had to do was decide when mirror would go. Though the different angles we came up with were also good, we liked the horizontal one the best as it had more simplicity on it.
