Research and Planning: Sound Effect Trials

I have created some sounds the first part of the trailer is created by having wine glasses half filled with water and running my finger around the glass this reminds me of the start of the 'Wrong Turn' trailer. I then went on to create other sounds, Alice and me did some heavy breathing and screaming to see whether we could create sounds and possibly use them in our own trailer.

Research and Planning: Group Podcast

This is our group podcast updating on what work we have done and our plans of what we will do in the following weeks.

Research and Planning: Sound Effects

Today I have decided to research sound in film trailers to get a further idea of what type of sound effects and music horror trailers use and the effect it has on me as an audience. I like the sound created in the beginning of this trailer as it builds us suspense. I may try to recreate this sound myself and see whether it will be effective for my trailer.

Research and Planning: Filming

It has been difficult to organise filming at the moment due to actors availability and the current snowy weather. However it is important to keep to our filming deadlines and have organised with Luke and Jess to film tomorrow after college at Hyde Park.

I have checked the weather forecast and found weather should be dry and safe to film.

Research and Planning: Photo Editing

I have selected an image from my photo shoot that I think I will be using on my film magazine. I uploaded the image on photoshop and changed the brightness/contrast of the photograph. I also used the spot healing tool to remove the blemishes from the models face as my magazine will be showing more of the actresses glamourous side with hints of the film and character. So the magazine will promote the film through the actress rather than the character. I then came up with the idea of writing the film name on the wall in a graffiti sort of way, I selected different tools and changed the opacity and colour slightly as this will help to highlight the film and promote it at the same time. 

Research and Planning: Magazine Photo Audience Research

I posted my four favourite and most suitable photos for my magazine on twitter to see which people preferred. 

I also posted these four photos on facebook as the majority of my friends on facebook are the target audience age for my film so their responses and opinions are extra important as these will be the people that would view the film therefore it is important to know which photo appeals to them the most.

Research and Planning: Sound

We have started to produce sound for our trailer. As we have not got all our footage we cannot do the sound fully and are limited. However we have rough ideas of how we want the trailer to sound. We have been on GarageBand producing music for the trailer.
