Today we finished production of our trailer after many months and editing. We will now look to begin our evaluation as a group on how our piece conforms to the genre, or could be improved further.

Today we tidied up the end of our trailer by filming some final shots to go at the end. David and Luke were acting whilst Seona filmed.
Today David, Luke and Seona took the images that would be used for the film poster of 'The Widow's Web'. We chose to have Caitlin (Rosette) on the poster in order to emphasise the character of the Black Widow. We will then use Photoshop to amend these pictures to what we have planned.
Today, Luke and David returned to Jew Street to take the images that would form the basis of the Sight & Sound magazine cover. We used Jew Street once again not only because of it is featured in our film, but it also gave the appropriate background for the sort of character that we would envisage Andrew Wills to be.
Today we shot some footage towards our trailer. This was on location in Brighton on Jew Street. We selected this location beforehand because of it's urban feel that we felt would conform to the nature of noir well. Luke and Seona filmed some shots of David (Mark) walking down the dark alleyways. After this we then moved down towards the pier where we found a staircase next to a streetlamp that cast a great shadow beneath it. We then chose to make this a meeting point between Mark and Hans. This was a successful days filming in order to make some of the more visual elements in our trailer conform to noir conventions.
Today we took some photos ahead of our film poster for 'The Widow's Web'. David was in front of the camera, whilst Seona and Luke were taking the pictures. During Luke's section, David took the photos. There was then a group photo where the camera was set to a timer so we can have one together. As a group we will now proceed to edit these images in photoshop for the poster.
These are the two ideas that we have created as a group for our magazine cover. Luke created the images but the ideas were of the groups. The first is to have an image of our director standing in a tunnel at night. This is to convey the fact that our film is set in an urban environment and conforms to the niche art style of the Sight & Sound publication. The other idea is to have the director standing on a street with the lamppost above his head casting a shadow in front of him. This would convey the fact that our film is Neo-Noir which frequently uses shadows as a genre to illustrate suspense and mystery. We will now as a group try to shoot and edit these images and will update this blog with our progress.
Here is a production management plan of what we need to achieve in the next few weeks regarding our coursework. We will report back on how we progress.
Here is a first draft of what we plan to create for our film poster. The watermark is present because the image is a stock photo. We also intend to add a different background to the actual film- most likely an image of a city (for example London) at night. The character that will be used is Mark Rivers (David) but also have plans to include Rosette as well. More updates to follow.
