Behind the scenes: in pictures

Here is a presentation that I created of some of the 'behind the scenes' images.

Filming log: changes

When filming I encountered some problems which have led to me having to make changes to my trailer. I also found other locations on the way that looked nice or good for my trailer, these 'random' shots may be able to be incorporated into my final piece- again changing my storyboard further. The extent of this change will obviously be evidenced in my final piece.


Collecting props

I have decided to use a range of costumes from a large collection that I have. Luckily I have many costumes appropriate for our trailer due to the many shows and productions that I have been in. These include dresses for the princesses, Fairy, Goldilocks and Gretel.
Hansel will supply his own jeans and shirt whilst Amelie has her own school uniform and rucksack for the role of Alice.
We have got a dark coloured shawl for the wicked witch as well as a grey one for the ‘Cinderella’ themed shot where Alice looks like a workhouse child.
Chloe will wear normal, everyday attire for her scenes, it doesn’t matter too much.

Props such as dolls and teddy bears are available from Amelie. We have a selection of ribbons and jewellery for the shots as well as glitter.

Find below a short presentation of a few of the costumes that I have found for our trailer.

Casting: White horse

Find below a selection of images of the horse that we have cast for the role of 'The White Horse' in our trailer. We have not only chosen Delilah because of her colouring (referred to as grey in horse terms) but because of her good nature and manners. She was trained by myself so I know her well, she is easily available for filming and I trust her 100% meaning I should be able to ride her bareback in canter.
