Film Intro

My trailer will start with a black screen with white letters saying: Most people live their lives without a care in the world, and then there are people who pierce their nails in to the flesh of the world just to stay alive.



3 problems

1. Not really a horror trailer more like a bullying trailer.
2. I think I need to make my trailer longer.
3. I want to add a song in the back ground of the trailer but quieter I'm not sure how to do that, this maybe something I need to research further.

Evaluation:

1. what I think I did well.
I really enjoyed the experience of making my own Horror trailer. I am happy with the final product because I enjoyed working in a team and I hope to create more films in the future. I felt that the editing of the film was a success because I was able to use Final Cut Pro and master the different techniques. I was able to sequence the music in time with the trailer. Overall I feel that I created a good trailer. I also felt that I was able to film the trailer in a confident way. I was able to use the camera and experiment with different shots such as close ups : zoomed in a lot.

2. what I think I could have improved on.
If I had all the actors a few weeks earlier it would have been better and finished sooner. I had to wait quite a long time to actually film my trailer and found this quite frustrating. I also needed more props like fake blood. In the future I'd spend more time planning my trailer to avoid any hick ups.




·         What camera shots did you use in your film?
              I used medium and medium close up shots.

·         What shots looked good?
              I think the medium shots and medium close ups looked good.

·         What shots looked bad?
              I could of used a range of different shots including close ups, wide shots etc.

·         What went well with the project
             I think most of the footage we recorded was really good but there were some bits of footage that couldn't be used. This footage included close ups where the camera  zoomed in too far, making it difficult to see the images clearly.
·         What didn’t go well with the project?
Nothing I think every think went well except the camera zooming in too far
·         How did the group work together?
Very well
·         What was your role in the group? What did you do?
camera man

Psycho

Describe the colours and structure of the poster. What is the effect of the colour scheme?


The poster has strong colours that get the reader’s attention the text for psycho convinces it’s anything but normal.

 

Who is featured on the poster? How are they dressed?

Describe how they are situated in the poster.



Provocative picture of a woman in less than normal clothes (to get men’s attention)

Very old fashioned but the film is old and in that time period of skirts dresses and pearls (the time looks like 1962)

The look like they are wondering and waiting for something to happen.

 

What is the tagline on the poster? What effect does it

have?

 
Motel, money, shower, murder, kill, death.

 

Look at the title of the film. What has happened to the letters? Does this suggest anything about the film?

 

Strong colours and different text to get readers attention and to tell them the word psycho is significant.

 
 

What sort of sense do we get looking at the poster? Is it a sense of unease or comfort? Why?


Uneasiness because the person is in red to make people think he might be a killer or dangerous.

pitch

pitch
My idea for the trailer is about bullying. I have decided to do use this theme because some people can relate to it.

the trailer will be for ages for ages:15 up wards
it will be filmed in the class room, hall ways, stares and the landing
cast: James, Charlie, Jordan.


James gets bullied by Charlie & Jordan.He cant take it anymore and try's to get his revenge.
Charlie & Jordan bully James he gets mad.
waits for Jordan to separate from Charlie and then he goes for Charlie.
