Final Film Trailer

Film Poster

Day 3&4 of filming

These are just some short bloopers that we were unable to use in our final film trailer. Our group had just gathered around Beths house as that is where all our footage was. We had re-filmed the bathroom scene and so we could improve it and then we can include it in our film trailer, as before when we filmed it, it did not look as good or effective as it now does. 

When filming the running shots, we had to do this a couple of times as we found that either there was someone in the shot that wasn't supposed to be or we ended up laughing due to the way she was dressed or how she was running. We just have some final editing to do overall and then our trailer is finally complete. 

Edited Eyes For poster

This is our edited eyes for the film poster. We wanted to make this one of the main features of our film poster and so it would stand out against the black background. To do this, we used Photoshop to brighten the image and make the eyes stand out by selecting the center of the eyes and brightening them up a bit. When it came to adding this to our film poster we found that it did not blend in as well and overall the image looked quite ashy against the black background.



Taking this into consideration, we found that by adjusting the brightness and contrast of the image it worked much better giving the poster a much more professional and completed finish. This is the final image that we decided to add to our film poster as we found that it had blended better into the poster but also made tho poster as a whole look much more effective. 

Practiced production titles - names

I have created a few of production titles with the casts names on and who is involved to practice and experiment with the titles that we would prefer to use in our finished film trailer. I have set them out all in different styles to see which one looks the most effective when put into the trailer. As a group we decided to use the the first one as we thought it looked better in the film trailer as it makes it look more realistic.

I found that after watching this back, the third and fourth idea looked more like what would go at the end of a film and so may not fit in as well into a film trailer. Also they ran for a while which would not be useful in a film trailer as these are usually short and quick.  

Production titles

For the production titles, we used various images off the internet and edited through premier adobe elements 10. One transitions that was used was a zoom in transition as these appeared to be very effective and eye-catching to the audience as they are very popular in film trailers when they start. For the first image we had it start at black and white which then faded into colour which showed an effective contrast between the two. We then added the title before fading back out of the image making it look much more polished. 

For the second photo we kept it large and then added the same photo over the top of itself using transition boxes which zoomed in on itself to add depth to the photo. we then had a smaller version of the same image appear but this time with the title before it faded in and out. We also enhanced both images to make them appear brighter and make them stand out more

Editting our Magazine Cover

Here, we are editing our film poster and adding any finishing touches to in order to complete it. We were trying out different fonts in various colours and styles in order to find which one best fit or theme on the whole. We decided to keep the same font on the whole poster and so it does not over-complicate anything or make anything too difficult to read for the target audience. We decided to make the title of our cover Red as it is eye catching for the target audience and so instantly stands out. Also this fits the conventions of horror stereotypes as so there fore attracts a wider target audience, due to the colour appealing to all different kinds of people. 

Editing eyes image

Our group had taken a picture of our teacher and are now editing it to place on our film poster. we decided to use an image that we had taken ourselves rather than an image off the internet as we want to be able to edit it and change things in order to achieve a higher grade. We are planning on changing the brightness and contrast of his eyes to make them stand out from the blurred and dark background of our film poster. This will be able to make us get the genre of horror across to our targeted audience as they would be able to see a clear link between why we  have chosen darker colours and how it all links together. Once we have edited the photo we are going to blend it into the background of the poster. We wanted to enhance the colour of the eyes and make this a unique selling point for the film poster.

After having this idea we wanted to make sure that the majority of people agreed with us so we took a vote on which people were attracted to this feature; if it was placed in a DVD shop would they pick it out. We took a quick tally of 34 people aged from 16-28, through young teenagers to young adults where the horror genre appeals to the most. Out of 34 people 29 said they liked this feature and found it eye catching.
