Scream Music

at 0.30 seconds we used this scream to link the two musics together because of the vast difference, the scream was very fast and unexpected, we thought this would fit in perfectly form the fast music back to the slow music to conclude the trailer up. this scream would also fit in well with one of our shots as it was be surprising and the audience wouldn't see it coming.

Trailer Fast Music

Jade strangely found this video on youtube some how, and we decided to use this because of the scary theme to it. we liked the rocked style and thought that it would fit in nicely without our introduction music as it would of been a massive contrast to the slow piano music that was going to be played first. we have cut the music so none of the words are in there because the language is german, but we kept the soundtrack and just repeated what we needed.

Trailer Introduction Music

We chose this soundtrack to introduce our trailer, as like every other trailer, we wanted to start off slow. we found this on youtube after pages of searching for the correct and most suitable music for our trailer, we think this was the best one we found because of the slow piano and the increase and decrease of sound that creates tension. we were planning on linking the trailer depending on the music so it all fits in and looks professional.

Mise En Scene and Location

The theme of our trailer is horror, so the suitable thing to do is to link everything we use and wear to a horror theme. The actors within the trailer are returning back from a party, the girls have high spirits and are singing along to the music while videoing themselves with a hand held camera. suddenly the car runs out of petrol and the girls are stranded on the side of the road in the middle of a woodland area that they are not familiar with. There is a killer on the lose but the face is never revealed, he is wearing dark clothing and can hardly ever see anything that would trigger who the killer is. the girls are chased around the woods, while different shots are filmed of them in situations and how there feeling.

Mise En Scene

As the girls are returning from a party they have to be dressed quite casually but dressed up with all makeup on and hair done. they are wearing dresses and coats, not suitable for running around in the woods. the car we used was Leanne's as it was the car that had the most space in the back for the shot of the killer. we smothered makeup down our faces to make it look like the girls were distressed, also mud on knees and arms to make it look like we had been rolling around and hiding within dirty areas. hair was messed up to make it look more realistic. a lot of effort was put in to look the best we could and right for the situation we was pretending to be in. we used a male to play the killer as we lost a member of our group after the first lot of filming, however a male was better at playing the part because of the size of him was a lot bigger then the actors. we needed a prop to distract the actors as they are driving to make them stop, we thought a pram would be best for this because the idea of a baby in the middle of the woods would make anyone stop in there tracks, it also give thats scary and mystery style to it asking questions about why it is there, while the girls stop the killer does something to there car and they can no longer drive it. they assume it must be petrol. we borrowed the pram from one of jess's neighbours who was kind enough to lend it to us. we used a phone to display 999 to show that they are trying to get help because they are scared. we also used the hazard lights on the car that symbolizes SOS.

Location

we chose this location because it was out of the way for the convenience of us as we didn't want to many cars coming down otherwise it would of taken a lot longer to get the road shots, we did have a few distractions but we quickly resolved them, the second lot of filming had to be shot in a different place as we went back to the first place and got asked to move by a local resident. we tried to find somewhere we could pull over easily and still use car lights that wouldn't look too different in our shots because of the surroundings. We had to film late at night because of the story line returning back from a party so it had to be dark as well as the trailer being the genre of horror the location had to look as scary as possible. we needed a lot of trees and bushes around so there could have been many places that the killer could hide also where we could get some decent shots from.

Our Main Characters

Improvements To Film Poster

After analysing film posters, the group wanted into improve our own. we noticed on alot of film posters that they had the actors names at the top of the page, so we thought we would add it in too. we used the douge tool again to lighten the parts we wanted. using the same font we wrote our names out and added them to the poster, i think the poster looks alot more complete now and i think by using the same font it all looks very professional and linked together. the font we used was smaller then the title because on other film posters they have set it out like that and we thought to make it look the best quaility it could we would be following the same technique.

Analysis Of Magazine Covers

This magazine cover is very complex, it has the two main characters on the front of the cover which shows what movie it is from straight away. the title is in big bold clear writing along the top to catch the readers attention. there are all different stories spaced around the main image. these all come with a mini picture and some of the information about the story. there is a strip that blends in with the bottom with very small print on it, this shows that it is insignificant but signicant as well because it is still on the front cover, the bar code is placed neatly in the right hand bottom corner. there is alot of information written over the image but that cleverly doesn't ditract the reader at all because of the colours used, everything stands out just as it should.

The main image on this magazine cover is in black and white, this immediatly catches the readers eye, and the the title and other information doesn't stand out as much. the image has very clear shadowing on it and can still see most of the image even though there is alot placed over it. the bar code is neatly in the right had corner out of the way and has been placed over his black t-shirt to stand out. they have done this with the title as well and they have used big bold clear font, the red lettering is there to stand out and they have kept very simple with there colour scheme. other stories and information is placed around the sides in smaller writing but still visible and easy to read. the title has been made alot bigger then anything on the page and it spreads from one side to the other, the caption above is in red to show the difference in importance as well as the size font.

The main character of the film is once again placed on the front. the title in big red letters show the contrast and so it is easy for the audience to spot the title. there is very small print around the title placed in colours which still identifys them. information is placed all around the sides in a white font so it is still seen on top of the black background. the barcode is once again bottom right hand corner, out of the way but still visible. the mini picture at the bottom shows other important stories within the magazine. the strip at the bottom of the page also shows other films without distracting the reader from the main image and film being adveritsed.

Making Of Film Magazine

Firstly the group wanted all of the promo work to be linked and reconizable, we kept with the same image but improved it, adding and editing it to make it look like it was a proffesional magazine cover, we didn't find this quite as hard because of having to complete a magazine cover for our media coursework for AS. we firstly used the douge tool to lighten the parts where we was going to put symbols and writing so it would be clear to read by the audience.



we decided to put the most important images and texts towards to the top of the page as they will be the first things seen and read hopefully by the public, up with the title we placed the logo next to it so the audience can link the magazine with the title next time they see it. we placed the barcode towards the top of the page as it fits nicely in the corner. the headline we added shows the compainies individuality as they have found a patch in the media to introduce something new and we wanted the public to know that which i think reflects quality onto the company. 'Best Film of the year' is written just under the caption and we have chose to colour it in red because it symbolises blood which gives that horror effect.



more information is placed into the white bubble that we made using the douge tool so we could include other offers and aritcles that would be in the magazine, we have chose to place them at the side so that it doesnt cover up or take away the audiences attention from the main image, we have included the information using a small font because it is so much less important then the main story however is still there for the audience to read. the bubble also blends in with the tree's which gives a horror effect. we tried to keep the coloour scheme the same to make it reconizable as well as neat for the public, the fact that the 'R' is red stands out and shows that it is the main title of the magazine. the quote in red as well stands out because it is linked to the main image.



Lastly to fill up the magazine cover a bit, we have included images that would be linked to the other stories with the magazine, we cut out the picture of the head so there would be no background, the colours all blend in so well together. the pictures advertise different films out as well however the size of the advertisements show less importance and the attention is then aimed towards the main image. little colour is used as possible otherwise the black and white image would be over taken and the audience would be more attracted to the colour around the image.
