Over half term we visited a local high school to film establishing shots for our trailer. We tried to pick camera angles that gave the buildings a sense of scale- suggesting that this school was huge in comparison to the one our protagonist is originally from. We also wanted to emphasise the difference in styles between the buildings, suggesting the school was constructed over a period of time with poor planning. We did this with the hope of creating the impression that this is a rough, working-class school which would further add to the feeling of contrast between this school and the protagonist's old one.
We originally intended to use pathetic fallacy to convey a feeling of despondency within these shots. However, due to time limnitations we were unable to wait any longer before we filmed this scene and so had no choice but to use the footage of the school on a sunny day.In our print work we intend to use Adobe Photoshop to edit our still images. We will darken the tones, reduce the contrast and superimpose our actresses. This will hopefully further emphasise the contrast.
