Title

We created various different ways that the title 'abandaned' could look. We did this by using different fonts, colours and effects. These are the ones we came up with :

Filming cont...

Our group decided that we should film the forest scene in the dark, as it would create more of a earie atmosphere for the trailer. We went to our chosen plantation after it turned dark and did a practise shoot for our trailer as one of our group members couldn't make it that day. This turned out well for us, because we now know which part of the 'forest' to use for each clip of the trailer, and what we are going to do.

Filming

We begun filming our first scene of the trailer (the interviewer scene), and the voice-over. We filmed it several different times with different camera angles to see which one would work the best. We also used different people doing the voice-over, to see who who fit the role of the survivor the best.

Props for the movie trailer

We all went out as a group to get different props for our trailer, so that we could make it as realistic as we could. We got:

• Torches
• BBQ
• 'Camping clothes'
• Food
• Fishing wire
• Cups
• Plates
• Blanket

Script

We created a script for our trailer. We decided that it would be more effective if it had less speech on it, as most of the scenes would be screaming, and unexplained sounds.

Interviewer : So, tell us about your trip.
Survivour   :      We were just planning a nice camping trip, it was a nice weekend, it was just a (shivering/swaying) bit of fun. 
         (car)        We were so excited, we went there all the time, it was like a routine.
        (BBQ)       Just us four, getting drunk and sitting by the fire, and Matt with his stupid ghost                        stories.
                      But this time wasn't like a routine, this time was different. 

Title

As a group we brainstormed a load of ideas for the title of the movie. A few of them were: Neglected, Abandoned and Oblivious. The final name that we chose was Abandoned, as we thought it fit the storyline of the movie the best, as the house is an abandoned house, the girl/creature that's causing all the trouble is abandoned too.
