research and planning: magazine social networking feedback

This is some social networking feedback from facebook about my horror magazine cover. The responce i got was very positive, people most liked the coloiur scheme of red, white and black and think the image i used works well. One piece of feedback i recieved was to change the slug line from 'movies biggest year ever', to movies biggest year yet'. I took this feedback on board and changed my slug line which helped it look more like a professional film magazine.

Research and planning: magazine progress

This is my magazine so far. I changed my magazine completely today and started the whole thing again, changing the photograph, fonts and colour scheme which i think looks better and relates to the genre more than my previous draft.

research and planning: unedited footage

Today me and my partner filmed to large portion of film for our trailer. This is the some of the unedited footage to be put into our horror film genre. We filmed some scenes in the park to show a more diverese range of locations, also running scenes to include in montage.

research and planning: sound experiments

 

These videos are sound experiments to decide on the right sound effects with my trailer. I used glasses in different shapes and sized filled with water then rubbing the rim, this i think worked well and will feature in our trailer.

research and planning: Empire magazine conventions

I have disected an Empire magazine to show what makes a good magzine cover, and the conventions to follow.

research and planning: poster analysis

This is an analysis of a horror poster, to show the codes and conventions of a film poster that relates to my own work.

research and planning: Magazine cover lines

Here i have resesarched the storys i would like to include on my magazine cover. I have deceided to add stories relating not only to the horror genre, but also including storys about 'The hobbit' and 2012 most popular films.

research and planning: 2nd Photoshoot

These are the second photo-shoot for my magazine and poster photos. I decided to re-take my images because the first set didn’t really relate to the genre, because the make-up was too loud for my mental asylum theme. Therefor I took another set of photographs to look more desecrate with just a simple tear drip whilst wearing a hospital gown in a plain setting, which I feel works better with my genre.

 

research and planning: social network feedback

This Is social networking feedback of my rough cut trailer, to get my audiences opinions of if they like it and how I could improve it. Feedback included showing more locations which i did shortley afterwards and also to make it more obvious that she is being filmed in an asylum scene. To do this i intend to print offical looking hospital documents with comments like 'URGENT LONG STAY PATIENT'.

research and planning: magazine and poster location recces

 These are my location Recces for the photo-shoots for my magazine and poster photos. I took the pictures on the same day therefor the information is similar. These photos were the second photos I have taken, and the ones which will be included on my magazine and poster. The first photos I took didn't really relate to my genre and trailer theme of a mental asylum patient, as the makeup looked to zombie-like. There for I retook my photos with no make up, just tear drips and dressed in a hospital gown.

research and planning: poster progress, x2

These are 2 drafts of my horror film poster, the second draft is in the early stages and i intend to edit this further. The 1st poster draft i feel is too dark and the makeup i have used doesn't relate closely to my trailer because in my actual trailer i haven't filmed any scenes with the scary tear-marked makeup. Because of this i plan to take some more photographs of the same character but looking more natural and vulnerable, because at the moment she looks like the villain when i think her character works better from a victims point of view.

research and planning: social networking feedback

This is social networking feedback from my first draft of my horror film poster. Majority of the feedback says to include colour so its not just black and white which I have taken into consideration.

This is a more developed version of my horror film poster.

research and planning: poster progress

This is my film poster so far, i am considering changing the photo and intend to experiment with different posters to see which works the best. This shows quite clearly the genre being a horror poster due to the scary model and dark colours.
