Update

I have made improvements to my individual film magazine cover analysis and updated it on my blog. I have also completed my horror film poster analysis for the film 'The House at the end of the Street' and uploaded it too my blog. As a group we made notes and created a first draft for the storyline of our horror film trailer in the form of a flow diagram and watched other horror film trailers to help inspire us and give us ideas on how, realistically, using our recourses we can create an effective and atmospheric trailer.

Progress

As a group we brainstormed ideas for our story to base our trailer upon and applied them to Todorov's theory. We have come up with some inital ideas including an conventional iconic dark figure as the antagonist and the idea of using black and white CCTV footage for effect.

Update

Today we started analyising horror film posters. I chose a poster for 'the House at the end of the street' and have almost finished the analysis.

Progress

Today we pulled together the information we collected when we analysied the film magazine covers as a group to produce a set of notes ready to present a group analysis. We completed the notes and started to present it. However as only two members of the group are present we have not been able to refer to the findings of all the group memebers. But we still produced a detailed analysis using our findings.

Update

After recieving feedback from my teacher I have added improvements to my analysis of the 'Insidious' trailer. I have also uploaded my film magazine cover and trailer analysis to my blog.

Progress

We have now completed our podcast and uploaded to the Mac, edited it and uploaded it to YouTube. We each took equal size sections of the podcast to read out, so that we all had an equal amount of input. I have also analysed a film magazine cover.

Progress

Since being put in groups and starting to work together we have all individually analysed a horror film trailer, personally I looked at the 'Insidious' trailer. We then looked at the conventions shown in the trailers we looked up in a group and put together a script for a podcast. We have now recorded this podcast.
