Meeting 7
Organisation: BluWhsiky
Members present: Cheyenne Dwyer, Morin Keshiro and Tiffany White
Date/Time: 19th Nov 2010 - 14.00
Notes on the agenda:
*Review of progress- We as a group did a quick review of the progress we have made in regards to filming. We have filmed all the necessary shots that needed to be re-filmed with success before the deadline and an improvement has been made on the quality of filming.
*Editing- In order to keep on top of work, a lot of our spare time has to be put into the editing of our teaser trailer. We have started to put the shots together in order of the storyboard and time now has to be invested in making the cuts and doing more research on sound.
*Magazine cover and Poster - The photos taken of our actress that will be used for our magazine cover and poster should start being edited and photoshopped in the coming week.

Professional Latex making
Latex is a liquid forming product used by many make-up artists in the film industry to give the effect of realism in creating cuts, scabs, and deep wounds. For the product to be used effectively, research has to be done on the skin as well as the human body so to know how these cuts and scabs may form especially when trying to create realism for film.
Things that will be needed:
The clay is first spread out on to the flat surface and using the soldering tool, cut carefully round the edges and spray paint the mould with Mr.sheen or J-wax (both do the same thing). Also we have make sure that the cup fits the mould and using a glue gun go round the edges. This is to make First, place a Plastic cup on a flat surface and with a pen draw round the edges and of the clay mould.
In the cup we added white powder until it rose above the water, this was then to be poured on to the clay mould. When moulding no air bubbles should be gained.
The latex then dries up to form a caked mould.
We then cover the top layer of the latex mould with fresh latex and use a cotton bud to spread it across, especially the 'injury' indentations.
This is what the latex wound will look like when dried up.

How We Filmed
During filming we had to keep changing the lighting and the focus each time the shot changed. This allowed us to have the appropiated setting for each scene.
These photographs we were filming wwere for our orignal idea for the trailer which protrayed a normal looking women with fingers and blood around her neck, with a bowl of blood and the weapons she used to kill her victims.
In the first stages of we let all members have a go at filming and taking pictures to establish who could produce better picturs therefore be in charge of filming and the camera.
Before setting up the filming equipment, we applied make-up to our models. This was so not to leave the equipment left unguarded. We putting the lighting into place, this was adjusted many times to see how it looked on film. First we filmed the news reporter in the studio,with this we shot four times. We had many difficulties filming this scene and decided to film it again.
Inspiration for poster
1) Jennifers Body
For our trailer, magazine and poster, we adapted some features of Jennifer’s body for work. We wanted a strong sexy female who preys on me. We wanted a female to prey on men to go against the typical conventions of a horror film. Many horror films such as Halloween and Friday 13, have a single male killer who will kill a wide range of people but one women would survive. We wanted to break this convention in order to appeal to a wider market due to horror films usually being targeted to young males. We used Jennifer’s body as a template because that is the most recent film who managed to reach out to more than the typical audience. in the two posters above of Jennifer’s Body you see Meagan Foxx posing as a attractive school girl. We wanted to make sure that our lead female could portray the same strong persona that Meagan Foxx has.
2) True Blood and Jennifers body 
You can see in the above pictures that they have used a slight dip of blood to show there is some sort of killing occurs in the show. We wanted to go for a more full on blood approach to show torture and feast of flesh of our leading lady and to fit into the slasher genre.
Props Final
Our Props
For our horror trailer we had different props to help our audience identify our film and characteristics of our film.
Our main prop was our fingers. We wanted to create something new and iconic that the audience could identify our film by so we created the FINGERS. Our fingers we made with latex. We layered latex on to our fingers to get the print. We had to do several layers to make sure the latex was thick enough. We then painted them in foundation and blood then stuffed then with tissue and clay.
weapons used to killer her victimes and the blood mess after.
