Film Trailer = Casting
Millie and I realised that our plotline required a somewhat high level of acting as well as maturity, as some shots are quite intimate and require good focusing. Because of this, we decided to contact the drama department in our sixth form and ask if the teachers could talk to their A Level students about participating. We preferably wanted actors between the ages of 16-18 to participate in our trailer, as we believed they would be able to take it more seriously. After initially emailing the head of drama, she replied asking more a few more details in order to give her students a better idea to what they would be helping with.
Millie then created a poster which we emailed to the head of drama but also stuck around school to get us a better chance at volunteers. We specially choice the sixth form common room and the sixth from corridor to target our correct age group. As well as placing it there we also put some in the drama rooms as well as the drama notice board, to again attract the correct audience. The poster stated what the plotline included and what we needed the participants to do. At first we didn't receive a lot of interest in the poster but after a week or so we had a few emails from students asking further about the roles. We now have the students we need and have organised to film on Thursday 24th November. Unfortunately this is slightly later than we had originally planed, but due to the absence of the main protagonist we had to delay the filming schedule.

Film Trailer = Production Logo Ideas
Millie and I started thinking of ideas for our production logo by thinking of what connotations came with the independent art house genre. We came up with connotations such as individualism, grunge and ideas such as a cigarette packet, silhouettes of city building and smoke.
After looking into these three ideas further we decided that we liked the cigarette packet the most as we believe it best represented the genre we chose for our film.
