Poster Flat Plan 

It Is Done

We have finished our filming of our trailer. We have now moved on to the poster and magazine. 

Horror Music 

I was given the role of choosing the horror music for the trailer. I searched YouTube to find possible music we could use. Here are some ideas. 

Contact Lens

While passing a board in the school I came across a Horror poster from a previous year. I thought that picture stood out more with the contact lens, as I looked closely I could see that the eyes were edited meaning that they painted on the colour to the eyes. I felt that It would be better to get the real contact lens if we was to use this idea. 

This photo above is our version, after talking to the group they also agreed that using contact lens on the poster and magazine would be good. We believe that using this has given our poster and magazine a new meaning to it. 

Putting clips into Premiere 

Now that we have picked out the best clips for our trailer, we are now inserting them into Adobe Premiere to be edited. 

Editing

We have been creating the poster. We are trying to find a good colour for it. 

We have looked at making the poster black and white but we are finding it had to make the font fit it. We think the the editing makes the picture stand out well. Therefore we are thinking of having it with colour. 

Choosing the best shots

We have now finished the filming and I am now going through all of our clips and choosing the best ones. 

Rogue Pictures

 Rogue Pictures is the company that produced Cry-Wolf as we used this film to inspire us with our narrative. We felt that this would work well within our trailer. 

Filming the 'Bullies'

Today we did filming of the main girls of the trailer, this was the scene where they started arguing because they felt that Aubrey was changing as a person. 

 A challenge that we fasted was having all the girls at the same time to film. As they have different lessons to each other and too use it was hard to get them all to film. We previously did filming from the upstairs through the window, today we was able to film one of the girls to be looking down at Hayley from the window as we couldn't get that before.

Filming From Upstairs 

Today we did some filming from upstairs in our college. We filmed through the window as you will see from the pictures below. This was a bit challenging because holding the camera steady and in that angle as well as, moving it along as she walks is almost impossible. After taking a lot of shots for this thought that we achieved the right one. This scene was inspired by Halloween (1978) when Laurie looks through the window and sees Micheal looking up at her from the back garden. 

Filming Establishing Shots

We did filming of establishing shots for the beginning of our trailer. We wanted to show that the film starts in a school and most of the serious events happened in the school. The location of this is outside our sixth form and the lower school building. 

How to make the bruise on Hayley's arm

In some of the scenes in my the trailer there are close ups of Hayley's arms and legs showing the bruises she had from being beaten up. The way we created the bruises on her body was to mix dark blue and black paint, then rub it into her arm or leg. 

Filming scenes in the bathroom

We film a scene with Hayley crying in the toilets. To get the effect of tears on her face she applied water from a tissue and created tear drops. 

We filmed from a high angle to get a variety to shots in the trailer. This scene is Hayley sitting on the toilet crying as she just endured bullying from a group of girls.

We finally have a name!

After intense thinking and consideration we have finally chosen a name for our trailer.We found it hard to choose the name but in the end we did it. Our trailer's title is Echoing Evil. This is the name we chose because it symbolises evil coming back. This links to our trailer as Hayley commits suicide and comes back to haunt all the girl's who bullied her. 

Locations

This is a corridor in my college. We have chosen this as one of our locations because our horror trailer starts in a school. 

This is another angle of the room we will be using for our trailer. As you can see there is a window in the room which we have had ideas about using, my group and I think we could use this to have the ghost standing on the other side of the window. 

Locations for Filming Scenes

This is one of the rooms that my group and I have chosen to use for a interrogation scene in our trailer. 

Shooting Schedule 

From previous experience I have noticed that planning is important and makes things much easier. This is why we have to produce a shooting schedule. This tells us the dates and times if when we will be filming and what we will be filming. 

Character Profile

Hayley Clark

A once innocent quite little girl. After being bullied very badly most of her life decided to take her own life, she returns as a ghost to haunt the group of girls who made her life a misery!

Aubrey 

The 'Final Girl' in this story line. Aubrey was apart of the group who bullied Hayley but did not play an active part in the bullying, this saves her life as Hayley returns to get revenge on the girls but uses Aubrey to get through to them.

Lottie, Maya and Kerry

The girls who made Hayley's life a living hell. They are known as the bullies in this story line and as a result of this they are killed in revenge. 

Story Board

My group and I produced story boards in order to help us make our Horror trailer. These below is what we came up with. 

The Narrative 

My group and I have produced the narrative for our  Horror trailer. Things such as names and locations may change if we feel that It could be better a little later down the line.

Props List 

I have created a props list and a shot list to help with the planning of my trailer. Having these will make it easier to see what shots we are using in each scene and allows us to use a variety of shots. For the props list is also makes it easier for us, it ensure that we have all the props for each scene and can act as a check list for us.
