Film almost finished!

Today we watched our film all together for the first time and it was very good, however we still have a few minor problems that should be sorted soon so once we have finished it we can concentrate on the poster and magazine article.

Other Horror film posters

Poster research

This is a poster from a similar film to ours Blair witch project. This is a very basic poster as it only has simple imagery and lacks a different array of colours which doesn't help it stand out. However the dark colours and shades used help the poster seem more dramatic and give the sense of  spookiness. Also the poster doesn't say too much of what happens in the film apart from that 3 student film makers disappeared which in effect give many different ideas of what will happen. the title of the poster also stands out against the darker background which is important because it is eye catching some more people will notice the poster. Also the two contrasting colours used with the trees show the theory of strauss and how the contrast of light and dark are the same in this film and an unknown evil is attacking the good.

It is also very strange to have writing on the front of a film poster as often potential viewers will only glance at it so i think it is pointless to use writing and try and create a more dramatic effect just using pictures. There is also a strange symbol in the middle and as it is unknown what it is for, it creates a sense of mysteriousness and tension 

Audience research

Our film would appeal to a mass audience as anyone who is interested in the genre horror can watch this. We handed out questionnaires and from these we were able to interpret and analyse the different ideas put forward from an audience. one question we asked was 'What is your favourite genre?' Most of people answered horror but was closely followed by comedy. As we wanted to do this it was good that most people had this as there preffered choice of genre. From the other questions we asked we were able to gain other ideas for weapons and places for locations with the woods being the most favoured place from the questions we asked. Another thing we picked up was that the audience said that they preffered the build up of tension and suspense more than the more bloody approach of just violence and gore.

Location shots

These are the location shots of where we hope to film our short film, we chose this location because we think it has all the things to offer which can aid us in filming. The wood itself is dull, dark and gloomy, which will help us when the killer is following and watching as it will add to the horror effect. Thus far we haven't decided where we will be filming individual scenes but we hope to do this from our shooting script.

Paranormal activity trailer

This is the trailer for Paranormal activity, from this we can take alot of ideas and hopefully generate our own. This film has the best sound effects in relation to what happens. There is not much non-diegetic sounds so it is clear when the diegetic sound comes in it is clear and tense and gives the viewer quite a fright, However there are a few problems with this film the majority of it is just bogged down and drowned under the sheer amount of speech which could bore the viewer into not finding the film interesting.
