Poster Pictures

c

Today, we took pictures for the film poster in our location of our main prop which will be used as the part of the main image on our poster. We decided to get a close up shot of the teddy bear on the tree to make the bear look lost and abandoned, We also had the perfect lighting so it makes the area look more spooky and haunted as the lighting was very blue toned which contrasted with the colour of the bright baby doll teddy bear which again relates well to the theme of child horror. We made the bear look scruffy, not well kept and slightly sad looking as we made the bear sit slouchy to suggest how it is not an ordinary doll but a doll that is associated with threat and danger.

Bitter Revenge Radio Trailer

Recording Our Radio Trailer!

Date: 12/1/15
Today, we recorded our radio trailer by using a deep voice of a man with an American accent to narrate our trailer as we thought a man's voice would be best to present our horror movie. We also recorded ourselves laughing in the background as in the trailer it states how "it all started off with teenagers living in an ordinary world." We used ambient sound to portray how everything went from happy and exciting to terribly dangerous and when things started to kick off we changed the music to a more dramatically fast pace and added many creepy sound effects like screams, heavy metal clashing etc. in order to engage the audience and let them know how frightening it was. We also got the little girl who played Naila to record herself giggling in a spiteful and vengeful way in order to portray her character from the film. We changed the pitch of our voices to record a scary, deep witch-like voice saying "Where are you" and added an echo to it to make it sound more dramatically and spooky. 

Audience Feedback

Today we presented our offline edit so far to our target audience they thoroughly enjoyed watching it and gave us some improvements these included...

1. Lana should press play before the music starts so we know where the music is coming from

2. Music should end straighht way when Lana’s phone rings

3. Close up shot of Lana putting on lipstick so we have a range of camera shots 

4. Point of view shot of the bullies legs while they run around Naila in a circle to show how irritating it is for her to be bullied in this constant circle 

5. Flashback colour change, so it would represent an unhappy time, the colour red which will be used links back to the horror genre 

These improvements will be added on to ensure our target audience are satisfied with what they are watching.
