Storyboards
As part of the creation of our film, 'The Darkness', we decided to create storyboards to give us guidance on the filming process at our locations, and for the editing process on the various computer applications. The storyboards show a basic drawing of the snapshot from the filming, as well as a brief description of what we have done, and the audio used.

Risk Assessment
During the filming process, there were several risks which the actors were exposed to. Below are the various 'Risk Assessment Forms' which my group completed to highlight the dangers and what level these dangers were for the actors, i.e. high, medium, and low.

Venue Release Forms
During the filming process, we made sure that we gained the permission off the owner(s) where we filmed. This was important as we wanted to make sure that we would not get into trouble filming at the location, where the owner(s) did not want us to be. Below are the venue release forms from the participants used during the film process.

Analysis of Marketing Campaign for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part Two - Posters
The marking campaign for the final instalment of the Harry Potter franchise, 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part Two' includes many different variations of a single poster which includes different characters, both in groups like the two posters I have analysed above, and individually which I will post below. All of the posters use the practice of synergy through the fire like balls floating at the bottom of the poster, and the rocks and stones scattered throughout the poster. Synergy is used found on the posters, film trailers, and magazine front covers, which feature the main characters, by the dark colours used, and the serious looks on the characters faces.
The poster above is an example of the posters used during the marketing campaign which featured the characters individually, as opposed to in a group which I have analysed above. The practice of syngery is still in use on the individual poster of Harry Potter above through the fire-like balls floating around towards the bottom of the poster; the dark colours; and the serious look on Harry's face.

Actors List
We decided to use actors which we thought were suitable for the characters which we created for our film. Our actor list contains three people; all three of which being main characters within both the overall storyline of the film, and the film trailer iself too. Two of our characters are central protaganists within the plot (with one being a male and the other being a female) whilst the other character is a minor character who is heavily involved in the storyline, and has a role of scaring the two central protaganists.
