Film Footage - Church

Hello!

My group and I have been extremely busy filming clips for our horror trailer. Thanks to Lewis, we were able to film our scenes in a local church which is close to the college. We decided to do practice shots to see whether or not the weather would interfere with our filming and which angle would be the most appropriate. On the whole, filming the outside shots expanded our knowledge of where we should shoot and what we shouldn't shoot.

We learnt from the filming shoot that we need to film the church at night in order for the church to have a "horror feel" to it. We also decided that we would need to film more plant life and use it to represent specific themes such as evil and innocence. Additionally, these morning shots we did would be good to use at the beginning of our trailer as an establishing shot to set the background for our horror trailer.

Analysis: Film Posters and Magazine Front Covers

Hello!

Recently my group and I have been trying to film more clips for our horror trailer which due to premiere in February. Although we have been mainly focusing on getting all the clips we needed, I decided it was time to think about the other part to our project which is making a poster and a magazine front cover. Having this in mind, I started to research magazine covers and posters which would not only influence our poster and magazine cover but also help to influence the film such as the colours we'd use and whether or not we should change the surroundings of where we had filmed so that it would make the horror trailer more scary. Additionally, some of the magazine front covers and posters I had found were just one I liked and had nothing to do with the horror genre. However, even this can influence the way we structure our magazine cover and film poster in a way that catches the audience's eyes.
