Research and Planning: Group Meeting

Today we arranged to come together as a group and re-think our whole entire film teaser trailer. So Anika and I decided to scrap the idea and name we had and start afresh. We have a brand new plot and storyline and a Brand New Title, which I came up of which is 'Silhouette. I will sketch out a new storyboard and upload a new blog about it tomorrow. Hopefully if we stick to our plan we can start filming our teaser trailer next Friday afternoon/night.

Research and Planning: Magazine Analysis

film?

You can tell this a film magazine, with the masthead of the magazine being: Total Film.

Also, the images selected, are images out of recent films in the media at the moment.

The layout is a typical magazine, but also typical for film magazine. With the main story in the middle, and masthead at the top with the main image overlapping it, and more stories and images about the page.

audience?

The target audience for this film magazine is, id say boys mostly, with the main feature being Sherlock Holmes.. and the main colours being blue. Also people who are film geeks and critics, by geeks i mean people who watch a lot of films.

genre?

The genre of this film, is by the looks of the colours, looks like the film is quite mysterious and dark, but knowing Sherlock Holmes, its a detective film.

Research and Planning: Equipment and Software list

The Equipment and Software that we will be using throughout the creating nd making process are:

• iMovie
• Final Cut Express
• Garage Band
• Tripods
• Camcorders
• Digital Cameras
• Microphones
• Lighting
• Photoshop -for the poster design.
• Prezzi

Research and planning: Storyboard

These are diagrams of the Storyboard we have so far from our team discussion.The story is, 3 girls come out of the cinema, and 1 of the girls ex's is outside waiting for her with 1 of his friend. He then texts another friend saying 'still up for scaring my ex so she gets back with me' and all is going according to plan, the 5 of them then take a shortcut home through the woods, and that's when the lad starts scaring the ex girlfriend, but he doesnt just jump out with a mask and shouts boo, he slowly kidnaps each girl 1 by 1 killing them so the ex is on her own then starts chasing her and the ex boyfriend and kills them both at the end. Also on one of the lessons i missed due to a Hospital Appointment my group came up with the name of 'Masquerade' but when I thought of masquerade I didn't automatically think shock Horror film, I thought of a chick flick as its like a dance at a Ball.


As confusing as this story sounds its a first draft, I personally don't like the storyline we have come up with so I've called a group meeting to discuss changing the plot/storyline also to re-change the Title.

Research and Planning: Analysis of a film poster

 Genre:

• The Genre for this poster is Horror, with the use of color, a dark black background and bold red text, keeping it simple.
• Also the use of the image and the scared face kind of gives it away that its a scary horror.

Narrative:

• The narrative included on this poster, explains that its directed by the same director who did the scary film of "The hills have eyes" 
• Also who the actors are, when its released and of course what the film is called.. 'MIRRORS'

Representation:

• The only person represented within this film is a typical 'damsel in distress' character a girl screaming with tears in her eyes.

Media Language:

• The media language is mostly informing you about the director and actors.

Layout:

• The layout is a typical film poster, with a main featured image the title clear enough to stand out, basic information of actors and directors.

Audience:

• The target audience for this film, is late teenagers early 20's, with socioeconomic groups such as working class backgrounds.

Research and Planning: Plan for next week

This is a PLAN that I will stick to and hopefully have completed by this lesson next week...

Over the past two weeks, i have spent my time in Hospital, and with no access to the internet and with the treatment I was on, I have fallen behind in my coursework within college, most importantly on my media blog which is dated everyday with new blogs. This is why my blog has a lot of posts, posted on the same day.

So my plan for this week is to finish all of the uncompleted posted blogs, and also start my research and blogging everyday, once I've caught up with everyone it will give me more time to focus on the task that is at hand.. Creating the HORROR TEASER TRAILER.

Research and Planning: Micro element

Within the making of creating our Horror teaser trailer, the micro element I am focusing on is Mise-en-scene, we are also sharing the responsibility for sound.
For Mise-en-scene i will be looking at:

• Setting
• Props
• Costumes
• Make-up
• Colour
• Lighting
• Composition

Planning and Research: Production Meeting

Today our group, consistinf of Laura Anika and I, have discussed the roles and storyline we will be using as our Horror Trailer.

Anika is doing Cinematography, Laura is doing Editing, im doing Mise en scene together we are doing sound.

The story is two female best friends, coming out of college and bumping into one of the girls ex's, who is still madly obsessively in love with her, but he knew she'd be at the cinema and whilst he was with his best friend, he asked another friend to scare her so she'd see he was the 'Knight in shining Armour' but things didn't go quite to plan and everything goes out of proportion

Story board, clip by clip, shot by shot blah blah..

Research and Planning: The Treatment

My idea for a Horror teaser trailer..

Most of my ideas link themselves to being followed stalked or watched. 

I think we should have something where we feel we are being watched but not only that, being watched by someone we know, because of jelousy.

For example a girls hatred for another and she stalks and kills, to become the popular girl.

Or one girl jelous of another because of her brains as she realizes she doesnt know anything and knows shes going no where in life.

Another simple idea, is where a weird person who lives in the middle of nowhere, and likes to be alone with the animals at night going all weird, and a group of teenagers camp out at a field nearby lose reception and get separated into pairs of 2 girls and 2 boys and one by one slowly get tortured and killed.

Research and Planning: Sound test

During this lesson with Deana, we each got put into pairs to create a a music theme to go with a specific genre on Garage Band. I got paired with Brendon and together we created a fantasy of our own, where we created the music from scratch on Garage Band, we also recorded our voices and changed the pitch, it was a lot of fun and helped me feel more comfortable in using the software.
