2. Making the Props
I have made a variety of computerised props for our film trailer. These props will
be used in our trailer for brief shots but will help to establish the story and add to
our sci-fi element. I created props such as; a leader board, a note, a screen of
station locations and a name tag. I also created a logo for the company which is in
charge within our trailer collaboratively with my partner, we created this logo
together within a lesson.
3. The Note
For one of the scenes in our trailer one
of our characters had to read from a
note to set the scene. This note
included all the details of how our
characters have been placed into
groups and what they must do to
survive. I created this note on my
computer then sent it over to my iPad.
We had the not on an iPad as we felt
the technology would be far more
advanced in the future, and paper note
probably wouldn’t be used.
4. The Nametag We decided to create a nametag for
one of our station workers. This was
to show they were of low authority
and needed identification. I was left
in charge of making this name tag. I
used Publisher in order to create a
small template for a name tag. I
then took pictures of our media
teacher who is playing our station
worker in our trailer, so that I could
place these images to create and
identification badge.
5. The screen of locations
At the beginning of our trailer our
station technicians look at a screen
which contains stations from
around the world, showing if they
are ‘active’ or not. I created this to
be displayed on a screen. I chose
iconic locations from around the
world. The countries I used were;
Australia, India, Wales, Ireland,
Russia, Italy, Spain, Germany and
America.
6. The Leader Board
I created a leader board to be
displayed in our trailer. This leader
board displayed the ‘top 6’ within
Station 21, where our trailer is based.
I created two versions of the leader
board the first is to show at the
beginning, the second is about half
way. Some of the characters pictures
have been coloured black and white
on the second version to show they
have been ‘eliminated’ from the
process.

7. The Logo I made this company logo collaboratively
with my partner. We made the logo to
show that there is a company who
controls the fate of our characters and has
put them into the position they are in. We
decided to name the company ‘pro-tech’
as we thought it sounded similar to
‘protect’ which is what the company feels
they are doing, they feel the are protecting
the world from over population by
eliminating teens. The ‘tech’ at the end is
because they are a worldwide
technological company in charge of world
technologies and gear for people.
