Final Title

  • We chose the font style "double feature" as our horror title.  
  • Adobe Casino pro as our little titles to show our production name, producers name, directors and cast members. We decided to keep the font style of these little titles simple as we wanted the main focus and attention to be drawn to the our film title BITTER REVENGE and to make it stand out. 
  • We will use live effects and make our film title flip into the screen to give it a big entrance. We decided the colour of our film title will portray the theme of child horror so we used soft pastels colours such as pinks and blue and yellow colours to reflect the child horror theme. However, to make it look more horror like, we added blood dripping down the lettering of the font to make it look more gruesome and deadly. 





  • We will use the fade out from the titles to make it flow better 
  • We decided to add a picture of blowing church candles in the background to set the scene of a horror film and connote death and sadness, it will also give and idea on what the film will be about.

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.

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.

Poster Draft Feedback

I presented my poster to our target audience and this is the feedback I received.

After taking these comments into account I made some changes to the poster to the audiences preference because they are they people who's attention we want to grab through our posters. If we add everything that our audience wants to the poster then there is a better chance that they will like our poster.

This is my improved poster design.
