Facebook post

I have posted the trailer to facebook for two reasons, Firstly, there is a huge userbase from facebook and it is easy to post and share videos, websites and pictures on that website, so it was a very good idea for me to put it on facebook. The video was converted into a format that could be uploaded to youtube, and youtube has a large userbase aswell so this would get a big audience. The second reason is that there is a comment fuction on facebook that i can take advatage of as i need to recieve feedback from this video to help me improve it.

Production details

The filmworks logo had to be prestigious and serious as it is the logo for the production company. We decided to go for a simple yet striking design on the film production text. The simple style of the title makes the audience know that it is a big company that has established itself and does not need to promote itself through other means.

This is the new colour and of the film title. This goes away from the white and supernatural look of the previous title. The green is effective as it has a disgusting feel to it as you can relate it to disgusting things like snot ect. This is what we wanted to go for in the title. You can also relate it to a forest because it is green.

Magazine front cover

Our first magazine had the usual conventions of ta magazine should have. The main character in the centre of the magazine to draw attention to it. A eye catching title, and other stories and articles for the reader. We need to change the front cover to a more eye catching picture because the previous picture does not have enough scare factor or eye-catching as other pictures so we need to change that.

Film posters like this are very eye-catching as they have the main character and article of the magazine in a single image that is very striking to look at. This draws the audiences eye to it as the figure on the front cover is towering.

Sound research

When we got our film trailer in the correct order and how we wanted it to look, we needed to add sound effect to finish the full atmosphere of it. We needed to look at certain sounds for certain moments in the trailer to fully get the desired effect on the audience. The sounds used needed to not be copyrighted so the trailer and the film company would not get sued by the owning companys of the sound effects.

There were many site that offered what we wanted but many of those sites were asking for money. We did not have the funds to purchase these so we needed to look for free, non-copyrighted material we could use for our trailer.

We decided on using a website that offered the sounds we needed and also had a search engine to find our sounds that we needed.

A shot list is a record or preview of the shots in a certain film. Shot lists help the film crew get the exact shots they want so they dont waste filming time. In each shot there was a description to go with it so we knew what we were looking for.
