15/05 On this day, the treatment and storyboard was due. Storyboard: Treatment:  After handing the treatment and storyboard, we could start doing the shot list in order to start filming the trailer.  16/05 The production task have been released and I broke it down. There is a rough edit due on the 26th of May therefore I need to finish the shortlist by the end of this week in order to film in next week. I also need to finalise the script so I can schedule when do I need to record the voice over. 17/05 In that lesson, we were taught how to use light properly to produce a image that looks like nighttime. With the LED Bar light and LED Barn Door light, we were taught how to avoid hotspots on the subject and soften the shadows. This apply also outside in the daytime.

After watching the film, we discuss about the hero's journey and how can we incorporate into out trailer. To convince our trailer is a hero's journey, we need to have an everyday character getting involve into a supernatural event or something never seen before while that character have special powers and the chosen one. Afterwards, we watched trailers from other students to give us an idea of how it would turn out. Also, we were given a task where we had to watch trailers and choose two to analyse them. Also they need to have some hero's journey elements because it is what we are doing this term.
