I have looked at each of these main news websites to look at videos of different news reports to see how I should base my news report for the teaser trailer, I looked at the typical conventions and saw what to add in and how our actor should be on screen.



From 1:01 to 1:19 is what I looked at in this video and listened to what the reporter said, how he dressed and whether he had any props such as a microphone.

Research & Planning: Creation of Ouija Board

Me & Nathan discussed how to make our Ouija Board prop for our teaser trailer over Blackberry Messenger. I used an app called 'Screen Muncher' to copy the image of our discussion when we were talking about how exactly to make the prop.
