third draft

construction of teaser trailer

At the sart of the third construction of my movie trailer i had decided to strip the trailer back to the opening preview screen, i kept this as i believe it makes the trailer more believable and professional as a trailer, also in my audience feedback i had recieved that this was a good point of our trailer as it is a typical convention. Also by this point i has added text which reads 'FROM THE MAKERS OF SCARY MOVIE AND SCREAM'. I put a fade to black effect and a cross dissolve effect on the pictures to make the transition run smoother.

In this screenshot i am showing how i have added a quote which reads 'BEST HORROR SPOOF SINCE THE SCARY MOVIE SEQUELS'. I made this quote on behappy.me. Me and my partner made and included this quote as we had found from our research that quotes from magazines and newspapers was a typical convention of a movie poster and believed this would make ours more professional and effective as a teaser trailer. I added this quote by importing it from my files, dragging it on to the editing pannel and adjusting the length of time it remained on the screen.

I then screenshot this to show the progress i had made. Within this screenshot it can be shown that i have added a clip of my filming to the trailer including a midshot of the main actor. Beneath this clip you can see I have added two recording clips. I used these recording clips as a voiceover within my trailer which say 'best horror movie since the scary movie sequels' beneath the quote which reads the same thing, i believe this would add excitment to the audience and draw them in, the other recording says 'A documentory about a bo...girl who thinks they're not entirely alone' This hints to audience the underlying story to my trailer, also revealing the genre of the trailer. I had also added more animated text which reads 'HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH FOR RUS' this creates a tense atmophere to the audience but also included with the clips it creates a sense of humor to portray to the audience the spoof angle. 

In this clip the progress i had made is adding a new clip which reveals more about the movie and the spoof horror aspect, it carries on from the previous clip. I believed by showing a clip and then allowing a screen of text to be shown through the middle would draw the audience in, also giving a spoof horror feel, from my audience i also found this was a typical convention so i believed it would be effective towards the audience.
I believe it creates a very intentive and interesting mise en scene about the trailer using this as there is both horror and comedy conventions

In this progress shot I have added a new piece of text which reads 'COMING SOON, HALLOWEEN' I believe this would be effective in furthering the point that this is a teaser trailer to the audience, creating a very prefessional, effective and higher quality mise en scene to the audience.
I also added a very comedic clip to the trailer of the main actor being possesed in bed but then hearing a loud bang and falling out of the bed, I believe that this would be very effective in connoting to the audience of the horror spoof angle as this clip holds both horror and comedic conevntions. At the end of this clip i also included a black ou effect so that the transition between this clip and the following clip i would be using would flow very smoothly together.

In this screenshot it is showing how i added a new clip of the main actor partaking in a ouija board, I believe this would be effective to the audience as it holds a very strong horror convention which would be brought to the movie, but the way that the actor is acting brings the comedy convention which creates a clear mise en scene to the trailer for the audience. I also added a fade to black effect between the two clips so that the transition of the trailer would flow smoothly and efficiently making it professional and high quality. 





In this progress shot it shows how i have added a extra clip which shows the main character hidden in the bedroom wrapped in a quilt which shows him spinning his head round in a possesd like way. This connotes to the character that is it a clip from later on in the film which causes a tense and intruiging mise en scene to the trailer, the way the character is dressed and the body language of the character holds the comedic elements for this shot.

In this progress shot it shows how i have added an extra clip to my trailer, which is a fairly long clip and i believed because of the conventions of this clip that if perfectly fits the end of the trailer. It includes the camera crew entering the room and looking around the room for 'Rus'. He can't be seen until the final shot where he is standing looking possesed within a corner which shows the horror conventions of my teaser trailer.

Within this progress shot you can see that i have added two sound effects which offer a very sharp sudden noise, one which you would expect to hear within a movie trailer. I added these by copying the link from youtube and then using a youtube to mp3 converter to convert the sound and download the file. I them imported these sound effects into premier pro and cut them down and placed them where i deemed appropriate, i placed them where 'Rus' is revealed in the last shot and also the clip where 'Rus' is wrapped in a quilt cover acting possessed, i believed that this would bring comedic aspects to the trailer.

Within this progress shot you can see that i have added an underlying constant theme tune which would be played for the duration of the trailer. I made the volume of the theme tune which is an instrumental to a james bond song, I used this as i believed it wouldn't be completely serious and may be able to bring a comedic aspect to the trailer as well as creating a tense atmosphere. I made the soundtrack quiet so that it wouldn't clash with the voice recording and the sound effects i had previously mentioned.

In my last progress screenshot the progress i made was a text screen which reads 'INSIDEOFRUS' which is the name of my film, I did this as from my previous research i found this to be a typical convention across all film trailers. I believed this would make it look more professional and it would inform the audience of the name. I also put a blur in blur out effect as well as a black out effect on the title screen to give the title texture and to show skill so it didn't look so simple.

second draft

construction of my movie poster



I used photoshop to construct my movie poster, within this screen shot it shows how i added the title 'INSIDEOFRUS' to the picture, however i have not managed to delete the background of it yet.

Within this screenshot it shows how i managed to delete the background of the title and position it at the bottom of the movie poster, I did this as I think that the title of the film being at the bottom of the poster is a normal convention of film posters.

Although it is unclear within this screenshot it shows how i added 'FROM THE MAKERS OF SCARY MOVIE AND SCREAM' i did this as i see it as being a typical convention of movie posters and also i thought by writing films such as scream and scary movie it would convey the genre of the movie to the audience incase they were unclear, they would know what to expect from the movie.

within this screenshot it's clear to see that I have changed the font, i changed it for that fact that i didnt think it fit or suited the genre i am promoting and also it was very hard to see onto of the background. Aswell as changing the font i also added a 'COMING SOON' at the bottom underneath the title as it allows the audience to be drawn in to the movie poster and i also from my research see it as being a typical convention of a movie poster.



within this screen shot i added a quote which includes the words 'LEFT ME SHAKING IN PURE TERROR' with five stars below the quote, i believe that this would make the movie poster to seem more believable and professional as it is a typical convention of many horror film movie posters

This is the final shot of the construction of my movie poster, in this shot it shows how i moved the 'FROM THE MAKERS OF...' to the bottom of the poster underneath the coming soon, also i decided to change the quote so it said 'GOING WHERE NO MOVIE HAS GONE BEFORE' as i thought the other quote would convey the movie poster as more of a horror film rather than the spoof horror of which i am trying to convey. I also decided to add text at the top which say's 'its not the house thats haunted, is anything haunted?' i beleieved this would be humorus to the audience and also it would portray a spoof horror type genre.

Planning of my movie poster

I have been editing this picture on adobe photoshop to use on the movie poster of my teaser trailer, so far I have edited the picture by making it darker, i believe this will get across the horror convention of my teaser trailer. I'm hoping that this paired with the stance and costume of the main character will really put across the spoof horror theme.
What i plan to do further with this poster is to add the title INSIDEOFRUS at the bottom of the poster, above the title i will plan to put in smaller writing , 'from the makers of......' and make up some previous movie names as i see this as being a popular convention of movie poster.
Considering how this looks once i've added these i may include some quotes such as 'Best spoof horror of the decade -The Times' to really make it portray a movie poster and really get across to the audience the genre of the film.
Also i believe that using conventions such at this would really pull the audiences attention into my movie poster.

Teaser Trailer; First edit

This is the first edit of my teaser trailer, although it is 22 seconds i have published it so i am able to recieve audience feedback so that i can change and better my final edit.

Consturuction of the teaser trailer.

During the making of the teaser trailer I made many screenshots to show and portray how I was able to construct my teaser trailer, this also shows the software I was able to use and my method towards adding certain effects and aspects of the film.

 This is screenshot which shows how me and my partner were able to add an underlying theme tune to our teaser trailer to add a thrilling effect to the trailer. This will then add tension and portray to the audience that this is infact a horror film as this is an expected convention of horror/spoof horror films. We was able to do this by converting a link from youtube onto adobe premier pro CS4 then placing it in audio number 4, locking this as an audio so that no videos are shown.

 

 

 

 

This is a screenshot which shows how me and my partner used a website called behapppy.me which allowed us to make an original quote which we were able to use and place in our teaser trailer. I believed this would further portray to the audience that we will be making a trailer as this is an usual convention of most trailers.

  This is a screenshot which shows the finished quote that was generated by behappy.me which we have included in out trailer. We thought by using the quote being by 'the director himself' would add a sense of humour within the 'horror' trailer to further emphasise our spoof aspect.

 After doing some trailer research me and my partner found that many trailers contain an audience preview screen which notifys the audience of what audiences this trailer has been approved for. I believe that this makes our trailer seem more professional and believable.                   



 

This is a screenshot which shows how we were able to add an audience preview screen before the trailer starts which shows that this trailer is able to be previewed by most audiences. This is an expected convention of a trailer and we thought by adding this would make it look more profentional. We added it by importing the picture into adobe premier pro CS4 and then dragging it down to where we edit the video clips. We then cut it to how long we wanted it to be shown for.

                                   
During the editing of our filming we decided to edit a screen which shows a 'COMING SOON' notification to emphasise that this is a trailer. We made this screen then imported it into the program we was using which was adobe premier pro CS4. We dragging it in and cut it down to the length we wanted it to be. We then added a 'fade in' and a 'fade out' effect which I think makes the trailer look more easily flowing and makes it look higher quality and more effective.

 

This is a screen shot which shows how we were able to import a move clip into adobe premier pro CS4 then we were able to lock it into audio so that the actual footage of the clip was unable to be seen but only the audio was able to be heard. This shows how we were able to edit the sound of the clip making the clip sound less muffled, more clear and more sharp. We also made the clip louder.

 



 

This screem shot shows the audio from the previous shot, however in this show it is showing how we were able to cut the clip down into shorter sections so that we were able to use the different sections in different parts of the trailer rather than it being a continuous chunk of voice over audio.
