Feedback & developments of the trailer

1. Feedback & developments of
the trailer.

3. Reflection on feedback
We also asked people from
our school upfront doing
the same course as us.
Ella Duncan said ‘I
really love the font and
style of your
intertitles’ this was a
very positive piece of
feedback. This is because
my partner worked very
hard on making them look
very conventional, and
actually the impact it
has on audience. The
writing is unsettling as
it is black and white and
very serious.

4. We created the music through
an app called music maker
jam. We also used primary
music made by ourselves as I
can play the guitar and some
piano, although we felt this
didn’t sometimes fit in with
the story of the trailer. In
order to improve on this we
widened our research.
Supernatural horrors usually
consist of high tension
elements such as drums and a
deep bass to fill impact the
serious nature of the film.
This app also came in very
handy because I researched
another sound making/editing
software which unfortunately
branded itself every 5
seconds which sounded
extremely unprofessional.
The music editor we used
also allowed me to time when
each sound would come in.
This was also very postive
because it meant I could
time high tension sound
along with the parts of high
tension in the trailer,
which is conventional and
professional.

5. This app was very useful
with creating unsettling
notes. This is because
it allowed to choose
different depths in
pitch and tone. Horror
films often play a minor
amount of notes out of
tune within music in a
trailer. This is because
it puts the audience on
edge and helps to make
them feel uncomfortable.
This also allowed me to
choose from a range of
different sounds I could
used, although horror films
often choose a very simple
soundtrack to stop the
audience feeling at ease
with common music they would
hear on a day to day basis
just by watching adverts.
Simplistic soundtrack allows
the audience to be more in
tune with the tension caused
by the characters fear and
the antagonist.

6. we also had a problem with
our eye-dent. This was that
the dimensions were too
small and made the eye-dent
look very amateur. At first
in order to try and rectify
this we messed around with
the dimensions on power
point although this just
lead to a stretched out
image of the eye-dent. In
the end I used the movie
text on power director using
a white background and a
smaller eye with a massively
white back ground. This
stopped the eye from
stretching and still allowed
us to create a frame where
we could add an affect. The
affect is quite unusual,
although many professional
indents are very unique so
we didn’t feel as if we
were not a sticking to
convey the rain in our eye-
dent is pathetic fallacy for
bad weather, hinting at the
unfortunate turn of events
the protagonists would take
in all our horror films.
