Poster to date

This is my poster to date, it is near completion with just some small tweaks and changes to make. I think the final outcome of my trailer is effective in showing the horror genre while relating to my trailer 'The grim truth'.

research and planning: poster progress

This is my horror film poster at the present date. I have decided to strip the whole piece back to basics and make the poster look differently. I think at the moment the whole thing is too dark and needs some brightness to show the contrast for the horror genre.

Magazine Cover

This is my finished horror film magazine, after reviews my audience feedback I made some slight changes and I'm now happy with the final product. I have used the three colour rule of black, white and red varying in shades adding small elements of grey and yellow. I think the image i have used relates well in promoting the grim truth. I chose to use photographs of my supporting character (Sara) for my poster and magazine to show a more vulnerable and physcotic element because of my main character (Harriet).
 
 
 

research and planning: Unedited footage

This is some unedited footage for our The Grim Truth trailer. The beginning of the footage consists of various shots of hospital documents pinned on a wall to give a more clear narrative that the character is a mental patient. The other shots are playing about with materials on associate plastic to give a dripping blood effect, this didn't work effectively therefor we didn't include the idea in our trailer.

research and planning: creating sound

This is a video of me and my partner creating some sound. We used garage band to play around with sounds such as keyboard, organs and various effects to make a soundtrack for our trailer. I also created some sound effects of a heart beat which again was created on garage band. I used an ishowu video to record 'the glass sound'. This is a half full glass of water, then follow the rim of the glass to create different sounds for different glasses.
