Sketch of Magazine Front Cover

This is a sketch of our Magazine Front Cover. This draft covers what we will initially be including in our movie magazine front cover e.g. straplines regarding new releases; signs of convergence through the use of a website/social media icons and an iconic masthead to establish our magazine brand towards audiences. Elements may change from this sketch e.g. potentially a different image. The chromatic is of reds, white and dark greys. However this element may also change during its creation.

Sketch of Horror Film Poster


This a sketch of our Horror Film Poster. This draft covers what we initially will include whilst creating our poster e.g. credits, age certification and signs of convergence with social media. Elements may change from this sketch during the creation of this product. This will potentially be the layout of text. The chromatic will centre around stereotypical colours within the horror genre e.g. red, black and darker greys/silvers.

The use of key image will obviously be included in both.We also had the idea to come up with merchandise and listed what items we could use for this, e.g. T-shirts, mugs and badges.

Missing Poster for Trailer

This missing poster is an added prop we have decided to use. During filming we had members of the public, interrupt and stop filming by reading the poster. We had to a reassure them that it was fake, but this was encouraging to the amount of detail we had included as ordinary members of the public believed it to be real.

Second Group Meeting: Story

Group members: Klinta, Luke, Jaymie , Scott
Room: Arden 203 (Media Room)
Date: Wednesday 13th January 2016
Time: 10:40 - 11:20
 
In this group meeting we discussed the story of our trailer and finalised ideas for our story, such as what locations, props and shots we will be using and a potential running sequence.
Our chosen concept is Cannibalism and chosen genre is Psychological. We also concluded our audience research. We now know as a group, who our target audience is and what they want.

Target Audience & Audience Research: 16-20 year olds, of a unisex and non-race specific representation.
The majority of our audience found sound to be the scariest element, this was followed by violence, suspense and camera.
Audiences also liked the idea of a contemporary Cannibalism film as they thought this would be interesting and intriguing.
The two most popular genres of Horror from the audience research we conducted are psychological and slasher.
We will aim to include the micro and genre elements audiences find the most favourable in our own trailer.
