07.01.13 Script LR Mac, Word I changed the location of the trailer as I now have access to a better and more private location without any cost. It is a cottage, which has a

gravel street leading into it, which is perfect for the mysterious, lonely

atmosphere I want to create.

25.03.13 Editing the trailer LR Mac, Final Cut Pro, Soundtrack Pro

Changes were made once I thought I had finished the trailer. I added in some ‘flashes’ when there was a knock at the door and throughout the trailer as a ‘premonition’ into the future/end of the film. This worked well as it created suspense for the audience that viewed it.

Contingency Plan

•Having a contingency plan allows me to assess the risks and possible events, in order to take the appropriate action if

necessary.

•If the weather changes and it begins to rain for example, I will make sure I film the outside scene once it stops raining.

As the majority of the trailer is inside a cottage, this risk is not very high.

•If the equipment stops working, I will bring extra batteries for the boom microphone for example, as well as all the

necessary chargers.

•Although I have already made arrangements for the location to be available at a particular time and date (with contract

signed), there could be an emergency or problem, resulting in the location being unavailable. If this were to occur, I

would go back another day, as there is still time to film.

•If the actors were to suddenly be unavailable, I could call another actor to take her place. Although they would not have

had time to learn their lines, this could be looked at upon travelling or between takes.
