Trailer Planning - Final Story Board

This is our final story board for our trailer, it has a frame by frame representation of what will be in our trialer with descriptions of shot types, editing notes and approxiamte times. This will help us when filming and when editing our trailer as it gives us a very detailed guideline to follow. After looking again at our story board we have decided to add in an extra frame at the end, this will be of the films web address http://www.darknessawakens.com/ and the producers and directors names. We decided to add this in after taking a final look at our previous research and finding that actually the release date is usually the penultimate frame and other details were the final frame, adding this in will make our trailer follow more of the conventions of a trailer and therefore making it look more proffessional.

Trailer Planning - Wardrobe Choices

We have two outfit choices for each character, we have gone for casual clothes for the characters and just need to decide which outfits will work well together in the trailer.
