EVALUATION

MOVIE TRAILER + ANCILLARY PRODUCTS

These are my final pieces.I am happy with both my trailer and my ancillary products. I feel they all sit together comfortably. 

DRAFTING

12

Now I know I am using empire for my magazine I am trying out making my magazine cover. I was originally going to use the white 'Empire' masthead as a 'black and white/good and evil' effect. However, as I was having the movie title white I felt it would make the magazine quite dull so I tried a red font colour instead - I really liked this so this will be staying the same.

 When analysing 'Empire' magazines, a lot of them had there date, price and occasionally there website in the middle of the M. I found this really interesting when analysing it therefore I included it into mine.

 This is my magazine front cover so far, I am happy with everything at this stage, however now I need to think about what I am going to put in the blank spaces next to the girls.

DRAFTING

I have decided I want to use 'Empire' for my magazine masthead; due to the fact I am using 'Empire' I have decided to analysis three Empire magazines so I create my magazine in a similar way.

DRAFTING

Once I had decided on what picture of the woman I was going to use, I realised I had to do something else to the poster to fill the blank space so I looked back at my research into similar products. http://clairewalsh1234.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/blog-post_27.html 

This was the one that caught my eye; the being in the background not only fills in space but adds a 'horror' feature to the poster. Therefore I tried the same with mine. 

I began to put the title and credits on the poster. 

Adding the red font in the poster but some life into it and makes the date a dominant thing which is what I want it to be.

DRAFTING/TARGET AUDIENCE

This is a draft of my movie trailer. It was at this point that I was happy to show my teacher, peers and friends. I felt I needed to show them as they were my target audience for my movie so their feedback would be something I would need to take on board to make sure my trailer fits their needs.
The comments I got back were good, however critiques were things such as
- Take away the eclipse in the writing
- How do we know its the best movie? Perhaps take that out as a breathing space before we see the little girls

DRAFTING

I am beginning to do my horror poster and have chose this for my picture. The reason I chose this picture is because I like the closeness of it and how you can see every detail in her face, I feel it creates a sense of realism and depth.

Here I am changing the size of my poster to one that is more thin and long; this helps to fit my picture in perfectly.

I really dislike the edges on the left hand side of the photograph as it makes it look very unprofessional, therefore I decided to make the left hand side slightly transparent - this makes the picture become a part of the darkness in the background and could suggest there will be 'paranormal activity' happening in this movie.

Here I begin to put the title and the credits in. I have done the same transparent effect on the credits.

Once I had completed most of my poster, I showed my peers and my teacher. The both felt the picture could be better, and show more emotion. After having a look through my pictures it was decided that this photo would be much more powerful on the poster, so I tried it out and actually really liked it.

PLANNING/DRAFTING/ORGANISATION

I have now shot the last couple of frames for my movie trailer. I will be putting it all together to show my teacher, peers and friends/family. This, along with the feedback, will be uploaded in the next couple of weeks. Along with this, I am going to be doing a lot of work on my ancillary products so I can become close to completing them.

As I will be creating my ancillary products I need to make a decision on what my movie name will be; I have done a lot of research into it such as going on a movie generator website http://horror.phils-blog.de/

I found none of these names really grasped my attention; although I did find the simple titles such as 'Evil House'/'House terror' much more appealing than the longer ones. 

I decided to put a list full of horror type names on a piece of paper, such as 'The Return', 'Evil is Coming', 'The devil arises'- I showed all of my potential names to my family and friends. They gave me feedback to say whether they liked them or not, the titles that were mainly liked were 'Evil is Coming' and 'The devils surprise' 

Out of the two I much preferred the name 'Evil is Coming' - once I had a play about with this name I found it would have a much better impact if it was simply 'Evil Comings'. 

To get a better opinion on this name I decided to sign up to 'Yahoo.com' and ask a range of people what they thought.
