2. Production Process Evaluation

3. Research
• Strengths.
• I researched some horror movies to help me with new ideas. I collected some movies and
picked some characters and storylines to mix together and create my own horror movie.
• I questioned my audience and asked what they liked to watch: murder, stalker, mental
and psychological. I created my film based on the audience feedback.
• I interviewed two people and they give me more details about what they wanted me to
include to make a better film than others. I agreed with them.
• I researched some trailers to help me create my own trailer. I collected some trailers and I
picked some trailers similar to my trailer like fade, shots and background.
• I researched some horror posters might be a help to design new my own poster. I
collected some posters to create my poster and I used an image from Google but the title
and sub-heading are my own words.
• Weaknesses.
• I collected only three movies so as not to confuse myself
• I only asked 10 people, who were my audience, for 10 questions.
• My interview might be biased as they may tell me something different from my audience.
• I created my trailer in last minutes because I almost forgot to makes a trailer.
• I used a copyright image from the internet.

4. Planning
• Strengths.
• I looked at lots of fonts to took the time to choose one font. I chose a font that really
stood out to me because it matched the storyline of my film and poster.
• I used the internet called DaFont for my title. I picked some horror fonts that I liked
and I collected some fonts for my project. I checked all the fonts to match my horror
film to make it look scary.
• I picked some very interesting and attractive scenes to show in my trailer. Some
scenes that I don’t want to include to spoil the surprise until they watch full film
properly.
• I created the background, title and sub-heading. I used Google called DaFont for I
created my own title and I like the title look more scary. So, I used Halloween title like
scratching and bit of blood. The colour I used red and white for easy to read it from
the black background.
• Weaknesses.
• I don’t want to chose one font straight away without looking at others.
• If I collected a few images and fonts is not enough visually plan because that might
difficult to new idea.
• I never show some video surprise like what happened at the end, who is die and who
is stranger. If I show some videos like this and that will be spoiler because my
audience will know what happened when they watching my full film.
• My poster is mostly black and few words.

5. Time Management• Strengths.
• My time management is under control - I filmed in one day and I edited my film in
about 4 days.
• I have used Premiere before so it was easy to keep on track so I edited my first horror
film in about 4 days.
• I wrote my script in about 2 days starting with a first draft.
• My trailer is very brief compared to my film because the trailer is just a teaserto
show to my audience to makes them want to see full film.
• I made the poster in about 2 days. This was the first time I used Photoshop for makes
a poster.
• Weaknesses.
• My film is slightly too long.
• Some of the scenes are too long.
• Subtitles take too long to put in the edit.
• I looked through all my clips but this took too long to pick some best ones because all
my scenes are long. This took me about 1 hour to complete.
• My trailer should be maximum 1-2 minute but my trailer is 3 minutes.
• I created my poster is bit too long because I was slowly to making it.

6. Technical Qualities
• Strengths.
• My film is very different from the others because I don’t want to copy from the
films I have used in research.
• But only some of my characters have similarities because I picked some character
that you would expect to see in a horror film: stalker, murder and stranger.
• My deaths are also similar to my researched films: broken neck, stabbings and
slashed storylines.
• I want my trailer have dynamic and fast moving shots, changing the image all the
time. I used transitions for lots of different fades. I used the editing transition
called cross dissolve.
• My poster uses an image that people will link to the horror genre.
• Weaknesses.
• Sometimes I feel unsure with Premiere because I have difficulty creating subtitles. I
created subtitles but they had different sizes and colours.
• I feel unsure about the camera because my camera was shaking. I want a smooth
stable scene like a real movie which means I need a wheel board where the camera
stands and help to move around smoothly.
• My trailer all the same as cross dissolves.
• The image of the hooded figure has been used many times.

7. Aesthetic Qualities
• Strengths.
• Yes, my film looks really good. My family and friends love it! Because my film is very
much like a real movie with technical editing and my camerawork.
• I created my own film, I wrote my script and I directed my film.
• Also, some of my friends helped me with the camera work when I was acting.
• My trailer looks really amazing because it is full of action. The trailer shares the
same aesthetic qualities as the main film.
• My poster looks more scary because the image looks more creepy. This is because
the hooded figure is more covered and the image is darker.
• Weaknesses.
• My camera was sometimes blurry and shaking so I would need to put it in auto
focus.
• Some acting was not good enough because they had not read my script properly
and didn’t listen when I told them what to do.
• Some strangers walked in the background during filming. That is a problem because
I don’t want people in my background. I can’t tell people to not walk through the
filming because we were in a public area.
• My trailer is a bit boring because all transitions are same and no different
interesting transition.
• My image bit blurry and could be brighter.

8. Audience Appeal
• Strengths.
• I would love my audience to watch my film because I know they really want to see
it. I like to see what their reaction about my very first horror film.
• So, if my audience want to watch my film then I will make it available at college,
home and work like Email, FaceBook, Twitter and YouTube for everybody to access.
• I received feedback from my audience for what they wanted me to create in my
own horror film. I must listen to what they want or don’t want.
• The trailer is important because my trailer can makes my audience more attracting
to want to watch my film. Trailer can tease my audience about bit story of my film.
• Before the trailer I would like to show the poster to make my audience feel
interested and surprised.
• Weaknesses.
• The feedback is important because if I create my own film without their feedback
they may not want to watch it.
• My audience age range is only 16 to 19 but the horror movie target age range is
from 15 to 25 a 10 year age range. My demographic is only 3 years, 20 to 25 is
missing.
• I didn’t asked them the questions or mentions about trailer and poster because I
want focus about my film.

bloopers.

14. Peer Feedback Summary
– I will adding subtitles on the bloopers because hearing

understand full BSL.
– I will adding scar skin because one of them cut her hand
and there no scar.

blood. So, next time I will buying more than two fake
bloods.
