1. PosterUSE: DEVELOP: CHALLENGE:
One thing I copied from
this folder is the three
colour scheme such as
red, black, and white to
get that horror effect
and also when I did my
audience interviews
they told me that
red, black and white are
horror colours.
Another thing that I
copied are the two
images, I have used a
ghost and a main
character and drag me
to hell uses a main
character and a
monster which is very
similar.
Moreover, the layout of my
poster and the drag me to
hell poster is copied
because my one has to
things to it main character
with a villain and so does
the drag me to hell poster,
the font style is the same
which Is Bell MT, it’s also
the same size. It has a
background just like mine
and it has a dark and light
affect on the images such
as Faith’s face and the
women’s face on the other
poster.
One thing challenged on this is that
fact that the drag me to hell poster
has font on top of the poster, so do I
on mine, but it’s different in font
style, size and colour, my one is put
in 6 words whereas the other one is
in sentences.
Another thing that I have
developed is the use of the
production and company logo. You
can’t see that on the frag me to
hell poster but on mine I have
used it right at the bottom of the
poster.
I have developed my poster by
using dark gradient around the
poster and light in the middle to
be able to see the image of the
people properly.
By using two different
positioning of my photos I
have developed this by making
it look different from the drag
me to hell poster.
One thing I challenged on this is the
fact that I created my own
production company logo and the
distribution logo and I placed that on
my poster, however logos are not
shown on the drag me to hell poster.
Another thing I have challenged from the
drag me to hell poster is using steel
tongs font for the cast and adding the
words coming soon and a release dat.
Whereas this is not shown on the drag
me to hell poster.
Another thing that I have developed is not making
the hero end up being the antagonist at the end and
also developed it by using two antagonists on the
trailer instead of one and the ‘Drag me to hell’ poster
only uses one antagonists.
On this poster I have also
challenged the location of
the background as I have
my back ground in a park
and ‘drag me to hell’
poster has it outside a
house.
2. MagazineUSE: DEVELOP: CHALLENGE:
One thing I used from
the empire magazine is
the masthead size and
the position of it which
is at the top.
Another thing I have
copied from the
empire magazine is
the words on top of
the masthead but I
used my own phrase
for it.
I have included an
image of one of the
characters in the
cover just like the
empire
magazine, however
the empire magazine
has 2 characters.
One other thing that I
copied from the empire
magazine is the
positioning of the
barcode, they have it
placed on the left side,
but I have mine on the
right side.
One thing that I have
developed from this is
using my own font style
which is bold and looks a
bit like the empire font.
Another thing developed
is changing the position
of the issue date and also
putting on my own issue
date that my magazine
will be released on.
On the empire
magazine we see less
cover lines on the
cover, however I have
used more such as the
ones on the left and
ones at the bottom of
the page.
One other thing is the
colors that I am using
such as red, black and
white for my magazine to
give it that horror effect.
I have used my own image and
used costume and props to make
it interesting and intimidating to
the audience and make them
want to come and watch it.
I have added my own red
cross and beneath that red
cross I have added my extra
cover lines.
I have used my own font style
which I have used on the poster
and I have used it on the magazine
to show the consistency of it.
One thing different on my magazine
is the text, my texts are in small
letters and the ‘Hobbit’ magazine
uses block capitals on it.
3. Horror Genre TrailerUSE:
I have used something
like this where we wrote
a phrase on the mirror
and they wrote a phrase
on the wall, so this is
something we copied
from the trailer but
changed a bit such as
the words. We have
wrote ‘u are next’ and
they wrote ‘I see you’.
The unforeseen trailer Closed for the season trailer
This is also copied from our trailer the unforeseen you see us running into the park
and there is someone videoing us from the back and in the closed for the season
trailer you see someone running backwards and recording the girl running in
front, which is another thing that I have copied from the trailer.
The shots that we have
copied from the trailer
are close ups, mostly
mid shots and some
long shots to show how
they feel, the location
that they are in and
their facial expressions
to make it intimidating.
4. USE:
This is another thing I
have copied which is
using the low key lighting
to create that suspense
of the trailer and also it
puts that intimidating
effect to it for the
audience and makes it
dramatic.
Another thing I have copied
is using dialogue in between
to tell the audience what is
happening and give them a
bit of the narrative of the
unforeseen trailer.
Another thing that I have copied is
not revealing the antagonists
face, otherwise it will reveal
everything and won’t be as dramatic
on the film trailer.
This is another copied thing
which is using a park location as
the ‘closed for the season trailer
has the same location on their
trailer.
5. DEVELOP:
We have wrote our own
titles on the trailer, but
we have not used lots
because it then will take
our shots away and make
our trailer even longer as
our aim was to make it
only 2 minutes long
because it is a normal
trailer not a teaser trailer.
We could have
challenged this and put
a background like the
closed for the season
trailer however we
didn’t because it takes a
lot more time and its
very hard to do.
We have developed our titles by using only small letters and
made then short and snappy. Each shot was at least 2 seconds
long, so that it was quick and like a montage. Whereas the closed
for the season trailer have used block capitals and when I
watched the trailer the shots were at least 3/4 seconds long.
The titles that we have used are telling the audience what is going to
occur but we don’t tell them what is going to happen otherwise our
film trailer will reveal everything that is going to happen in the film.
Which we do not want.
The unforeseen trailer
Closed for the season
6. DEVELOP:
Another thing I have developed on our
trailer is using two locations such as the
college and also the park, so we have
something that begins in college and
leads it to ending in the park.
Another way that I have developed this is by
adding in our own short film in the trailer, even
though its short it gives the audience a
intimidating feel about the film and used our
own dialogue and other sounds to make it
dramatic.
7. CHALLENGE:
Closed for the season trailer
The unforeseen trailer
On thing that I have challenged
on our trailer is creating and
designing our own trailer
production and distribution
logos using Photoshop. The
distribution logo is horrific
horror films and the production
logo is the extreme
productions.
Another thing challenged is
putting on our own preview
rating screen at the beginning
to warn the target audience
and this is not used on the
closed for the season trailer
This is the closed for the
season trailer logo they only
have one and we have two. A
distribution and production
logo for our trailer.
Some cinematography shots
that I have challenged are
using high and low angles to
make it even better and
challenge with the closed for
the season trailer.
