When filming our scenes, we ensured that all trip hazards were removed from the floor before moving around and performing. We also made sure that all equipment used for filming was completely safe to use beforehand, and did not have any broken or stray wires or was damaged. We also made sure that when filming our piece, we always had a mobile phone to use in case of an emergency, and always filmed in groups to ensure we had someone to get help if their was an emergency.

Music used in our production
For our production, we decided to use copyright free music in our piece, with the idea for the music to give the film the comedy edge and match the parody theme of our trailer.
For the opening section of our trailer, we used an orchestral piece we found on the website http://www.freeplaymusic.com/ called "Intrepid Traveler". Featuring a building string section, we felt that the piece would work well with the opening of our trailer, lulling the audience into a false sense of security and playing up to the parody side of our film, presenting it as an almost Epic movie.

We immediately used a sound effect of a record player's needle being pulled off of a record quickly, to give the impression of the track being stopped short of it's climax. This effect is used in various pieces of media, like in a variety of songs, films and television shows, often to switch from one idea of connoting to the audience a switch from a serious situation to a more comedic one. We took the sound effect from the website http://www.freesound.org/.

For our final piece of music in our trailer, we used a short piece of hip hop music entitled "Beat 1", also taken from http://www.freesound.org/. We chose this piece of music due to Hip-hop's worldwide appeal, as well as due to the fact that the music contrasts with the "camp" character of Steve the vampire, hip-hop music associated with "urban" themes and rap music.
