Pictures From Shooting Our Production

Here are some pictures from our production. As we will be in the process of making our horror magazine soon, we believe that some of the pictures we took could work for our magazine. As you can see, Dawn is dressed in blood and gore connoting death. This is a typical horror aspect in which we intend to express throughout our horror trailer.

Feedback From Audience Regarding The First Storyline

Here is feedback from an audience member that previously watched our old edited trailer. She told us that she'd give the trailer a two out of five stars which I believe is poor. She told us that what we can do to improve our trailer is by making it flow and actually have a clear storyline as she wasn't able to make clear of what our storyline was. It wasn't apparent at all. She also said that we need to work on our shots by having fast cuts and a lot of close ups in order to make it scary. This feedback really helped and was useful. This will allow my group and I to make our trailer successful.

Audience Feedback

As we felt that our old narrative did not work, we decided to make a new one. As you can see from the video above, here is an audience member watching our old edited trailer. Her reaction wasn't the reaction we intended to get.We want our audience to be scared and frightened at what they saw in our trailer. I believe that this clip shows us where we need to improve. The feedback we got was that we needed better lighting and more of an enigma code as it wasn't very clear. She also felt that the villain could have been a lot more scary. However, she liked the villain's hidden identity as it was a typical horror aspect.

Ideas For Horror Posters

New Narrative

• Riley is walking home by herself, going to visit her relative's (that died) grave.
• She finds a necklace as she puts down some flowers by her relative's grave.
• She takes the necklace and wears it.
• She goes home
• As she is sleeping, the person (unnatural being) she took the necklace from comes into her room.
• NEXT DAY
• Riley is sitting in lesson and feels the presence of someone staring at her through the window.
• The person stares at her through the window (Halloween inspired Michael Myers)
• Classmate asks her where she got her necklace from
• She tells her that she found it by her relative's grave. 
• Classmate tells her that she should return the necklace as soon as possible as she might wake the dead.
• NEXT DAY
• Riley returns the necklace to the grave. 

Production Logos

As you can see, here is a snippet of our introductory clip for our trailer. As I said earlier, our production company will feature before our marketing company, this is how it will appear on our trailer. I believe that the text looks quite sinister as there are drops of blood and red around the text. It also appears as if it's coming out of the screen. This is used so that it applies to the typical villain coming out at you and grabbing you. Also, the blood is used as iconography.

Logo

Here is a logo Dawn designed for our production. I believe that it looks very creative and could be effective as our Production is called 'cut throat' hence the blood. This will appear at the beginning of our trailer as it will be in association with a marketing company. As a group, we decided that the logo will gradually get bigger as it moves closer towards the screen and then there will be a black screen in which our trailer will follow on from shortly after.
