Shots From Prom Night In Elimination

In Prom Night, there are shots we thought were really good and wanted to re-create in our trailer. There are several shots we used in our trailer that Prom Night had in their trailer. As you see in Prom Night, in the begining of the trailer, they have shots that add to the equilibrium, shots of students in class, in school etc and we also wanted to do the same to show the audience the establishing shot of the location and to show that it is all peaceful and normal.

Our Trailer - Elimination

This is our trailer of Elimination. We changed our music as we felt that, the old music targeted our teenage audience however we felt this music seemed more scarier and more like a horror trialer. We have included the production company at the begining of our tailer, we also took out a few shots as they didnt seem to good for a horror trailer. I prefered the previous music as again i felt it appealed to our target audience, but we will have to see what the focus group feel they like better as they are what we are appealing to. The music we chose, and edited, was the theme song to Scream, we cut down nearly all of the song, however we chose and put together the parts we wanted. There were a few other songs we were going to chose for our trialer however we felt the Scream song fitted best for our trailer. The link to the Scream theme song full is below.

My Third Draft Film Magaizne Cover - Elimination

This is my third draft of my film magazine cover. I changed alot compared to my previous magazine cover. I looked at the Batman cover of Empire as a prime example to make it seem more authentic. The previous cover had too much writting on it so i condensed it. I added a huge title of the film across the front as some of the other Empire covers had the title, of the film they were promoting, so it was the biggest eye catching text on the cover. I aslo added a quote so that film lovers could relate to the film - "prom night meets scream". I also added text the make the film sound good - "this summers horror blockbuster". I feel this cover is better then my old cover as i feel this looks more euthentic and more like an issue of Empire magazine.

My Second Draft Film Poster - Elimination

 

This is my third draft of my film poster. I added a few things to my poster to make it look more authentic. I added the age certificate of the film so that it would be noticable what age the film will be. I changed the arrangement of the some of the text; i moved my title of the film to the bottom, and kept the tag line at the top so it stood out more. I also added the logo of the production company, as from my research i saw that most movie posters had the production company logo at the bottom. I also took away a name of the characters, as i wanted it to look even and most of the film posters had an even number of actors on it.

My Second Draft Film Magazine Cover - Elimination

 

This is my second draft of my film magazine cover. I wanted to try and see what the cover would look like without the knife as I feel his face is scary enough on its own. I lke both of the covers however changing the image ment i had to add more text and move around the text i already had on the cover. As i wanted to have just his face, i had to make sure it was a close up that was good not too close but not too far away, i also had to make sure it was in the centre but with the text around it evenly. 

My First Draft Film Magaizne Cover - Elimination

This is my film magazine cover for our horror film trailer. I researched covers of Empire and based some of my ideas for the magazine on the previous Empire covers. I wanted a close up image, the same as my poster, as i wanted it to be intense and scary when you look at it. I felt a full length body shot for my magazine on our trailer wouldnt be as intense and feel scary. I made sure i added text on the left and right hand side as on Empire, and most magazines. I made sure the information on the front cover related to films as the magazine is a film magazine. I also made sure the information was current and recent as the fillm is going to be promoted now for when it owuld be released and also the films referred to on the front would be popular films and films that people would also want to read about if this was going to be a magazine front cover. I chose to ahev the background black, again i wanted the image to stand out, and this time as it is a magazine front cover, have the text on the front cover stand out. I chose to have the title of the magazine in red as most of the Empire copies have their title in red, but also to add to the horror theme. I felt having the text in white would stand out and having tried other colours, such as blue and green, white seemed better for the cover. Also the magazine cover would somewhat match the film poster, so for the film, there wuld be consistancy. I included the issue date and price of the magaizne the same as all of the Empire magazine front covers to make it look authentic as if it was a real cover of Empire. I added the website at the top to attract my target audience and again to make the magazine look authentic.

My First Draft Film Poster - Elimination

This is my film poster for Elimintion, our horror movie. I did an analysis of Prom Night and Screams film poster as our concept of our film is related to Prom Night and Scream. From the analysis of the two film posters, i found that the posters had a close up of the characters face, to show intensity and add mystery. I liked the idea and thought id do my poster similar. I added an image that was a close up shot of the killer with a knife, to indicate to the audience that it may be a horror film, however i made sure on the poster i didnt make it seem to gory or too scary for the public in order not to offend them. I chose to have the title of the film across the top to attract your eyes to it againt the balck background. I added a question to add a chill to the audience and also a clue about the film. I highlighted the words run and hide to bring your eyes to it, so when you read the words on the poster, your eyes would automatically read 'Elimination - run, hide'. I also made the date of the film release in red also so that the text at the bottom wouldnt be all white and aslo stand out against all the text at the bottom. I added the actors names aslo, as from my analysis showed they tend to put the actors on the poster to indicate to the audience who is in it and also if a famous actor is in the film, the public will be more reluctant to want to see it. I made sure i added the website of the film in order to aim to my tartget audience of teenagers as they tend to go on the internet alot and would be useful to have a website for our audience. I added a list of all the information about the trailer at the bottom as in my research, i found that on most the film posters they had this. I decided to have a black bakcgorund with the image covering the centre of the poster to add effect and as the background is black, your eyes focus more on the image and the text on the poster.
