Last week I came up with three ideas for taglines that I could use on my poster and wrote about the pros and cons of each on my blog. I also chose an image to use for my poster and began editing it in Photoshop to make it look the way I want. I then worked on creating a credit block which is a

necessity for a film poster.  Today I have completed an anlalysis of five different fonts that could be used in my film poster on Power Point and presented in on slideshare, a link to which I have uploaded to my blog.

Update

On Thursday I created a draft idea for a film poster on paper, today Phoebe, Emily and I went to Apex to film the sequence with the doll; we took lots of shots of the doll and then smashed it. Then Phoebe and I uploaded the footage and edited it into our trailer.

Progress

Today Emily and I have worked on perfecting the editing and Sam has improved the end screen for the trailer. We have decided to add a more complex narrative to our trailer by inserting scenes showing a doll which link to the girl's voice which says, 'I've lost my dolly, can you help me find her?' ending with the dolls head being smashed. We believe this will add depth to our trailer and improve the overall effect. We have also discussed re-filming the knife scene that we originally removed due to poor mise en scene and changing it so that it is a close up shot showing a knife spinning on the table, which would solve the problem of ineffective mise en scene.  

Update

Today we all went to Marine Cove to re-filmed a section of the first scenes to ensure that they were the best quality possible. Then Phoebe, Emily and I worked on tightening our editing to make sure the overall effect was as atmospheric as possible.

Update

Today I composed a summary 'what I learnt' paragraph on my horror trailer titles analysis and audience survey results to show how they helped shape our storyboards and final trailer. 

Progress

On Monday all four of us went to Pawlett to film the remainder of the footage. We changed our location from Brean Down due to lack of time, it would have taken too long to drive to and walk up to the end of Brean Down and we knew of another atmospheric and effective location that was more easily reached. Tuesday Phoebe, Emily and I came into the mac suit to upload the footage and begin editing. Today we perfected the editing and acted upon advice from our media teacher to improve the overall effect. Sam created the end screen for the trailer.    

Update

On the 25th November Phoebe, Emily and I returned to Brean Down to ensure that the first section of the trailer was completed and Emily and I added in the extra footage to iMovie and edited it. Today the three of us chose which titles we would use and added them to our trailer.
