Equipment List

I have only had to use three different types of equipment which is camera, recorder and a tri pod. This was all important pieces of equipment I needed in order to produce my film trailer, luckily I managed to borrow all of this equipment from the college for the day otherwise I would of had to pay someone to borrow the equipment for the day so I was very fortunate in that way.

Information on make up/special effects

Because I'm doing a horror film trailer it means that I require to use both make up and special effects.

The special effects I have used was on a computer programme where I have edited my film trailer called final cut. Bu using this programme it has allowed me to put different clips together so it runs in the way that I want it to. I have also been able to make the trailer run continually by putting in transitions. I have also made some of the clips go from being in colour to black and white the reason for this is because the original railway children was in black and white so I have made it both modern and old which I believe would encourage more people to watch my film trailer because it's different. By using the programme I have used it also means that I was able to put a song on over the film trailer like you see in loads of different film trailers I believe the song I have used fits with my film trailer that I have created.

I have also had to use a lot of make up by doing this it has made the zombie look a lot more realistic and I also used a lot of fake blood so the conventions of my film trailer is the same as all the previous horror film genre's that have been released.

Costume sketches and ideas

For this piece of my blog I will be uploading my costume designs and will be talking through what sort of clothing I will need in order to shoot for my film trailer.

Above is one of my first sketches this will be the boy out of the rail way children, in order to have the railway children look I will have to try and get hold of some smart victorian styled clothing because thats the type of clothing they wore in the original railway children so I think it's important to stick to the conventions that they have already started.

This is my second sketch this will be a passenger on the train so will be dressed in smart victorian clothing at the start when I start filming my trailer on the train. However because of the plague he will then be turned into a zombie so I will need to apply face paint.

Above is my third sketch and costume design this one will be the mother who will be in bed so you won't really see her clothing she also doesn't need no face paint because I will not be filming a part when she to turns into a zombie.

Above is my fourth sketch this is the first one of my female railway child. Again she will be dressed in victorian style clothing.

Above is my fifth sketch this is the last railway child as is the second female that will be in my film trailer just like the other two railway children she will also be dressed in smart Victorian style clothing.

Above is my sixth sketch as you can see this is what I would like the character playing the zombie to look like. I think this should be easy enough to do, all I will need to do is get some old shorts and get some holes in them to make them look worn out and get an old victorian styled shirt again I may have to put some holes in the shirt and rub mud into it so the character looks like a zombie. Another important thing I will have to get hold of would be some face paint so I can make the character look paler and more zombie like.

Location's List

Location List

Below are the places that I will be recording parts of my trailer at:

- School field

- Class room

- Train station

The reason why I have chosen to shoot my trailer at these certain points is because they are all in easy distances of the school so that the students that star in my film are a loud to go out during school time and the other two locations are in and around the school.

Another reason why I have chosen these locations is because its similar to what happened in the original film and book with the railway children living in the countryside and then visiting the train stations to watch the train’s drive past however in my film there is going to be a twist.

I’m going to use the classroom and transform it into a bedroom so that I can film the scene when the railway children are around their mother’s deathbed whilst she is suffering from the zombie plague. I’m going to use the school field as a filed were the zombies will be feeding on brains and the railway children will confront them, and the train station I’ll be using to show the transformation of the passengers on the train turning into zombies coming off the carriage to attack the railway children

Shot List

The list above is my camera shot list, these are all of the shot's I believe I will have to do in order for my film trailer to be successful. By conducting a shot list I also believe this will help me be more organised and prepared to when it comes to recording my film trailer.
