Filming for draft trailer!

On Thursday 8th March, Hannah and I went to my house to film the indoors parts for our horror trailer. Harry, Ashleigh and Jack came along with us to play some of the roles of 'dead people' and the other masked figure. We recorded a mirror scene, and the 'death' scene which involved Harry, Ashleigh and I.

We then came back to school and edited our new parts of our trailer and finished our draft. Once our teacher has looked at our trailer, we will then re-record and make any changes that are needed.

Filming/Editing our horror trailer.

Hannah, Georgia and I went to Orwell Forest and filmed the forest scene for our trailer last Thursday. We ended up getting the middle part of our trailer, but we still need to film and edit the beginning and end.

Today in lesson Hannah and I edited our middle part of our trailer and making what we think was good. We are still unable to film the beginning and end but we will be filming those scenes tomorrow during the day outside of sixth form.

Horror Final Piece

Today we went to the a woody area in Ravenswood and took some still shots of:


  • Scenery
  • Over-shoulder shot
  • Birds-eye view shot
  • Point of view shot
This helped us practise our camera angles and how we wanted the finishing shot to look. 

Horror film trailers

Last week we watched trailers that people at AS produced and real horror film trailers, this was to help us when developing our own horror trailers.

The trailers we watched were:

  • House 1,2 and 3
  • Nightmare on Elm Street
  • Saw 1 and 6
  • Grave Encounters
  • The Inkeepers
When watching the older styled horror trailers like House and Nightmare on Elm Street, you could see how different the style of horror used to be. The music was the main source of horror in the older trailers whereas in the newer styled trailers gore and physically seeing something scary was involved. The newer trailers, compared to the older, you can see have improved leaps and bounds with the CGI and overall presentation of the trailers.

Horror Posters

Hi!

Last Thursday, we started to design our own Horror Posters for our Horror final piece research. We needed to come up with our own title, our own image that is first drawn by ourselves and then it will be taken with a camera and edited. I have done 3 smaller posters and 1 larger one which I will then use to take a picture inspired by it.
