Production logo

As you can see from our finished trailer, we now only have 1 production logo instead of the 3 we originally planned.This is mainly due to the fact that we were short on time after having to re-film so many times. Deciding to use one production logo to us was a good idea because, that way we could then make enough time to create a good trailer as well as one good production logo, rather than 3 slightly rushed ones.

Below is our finished production logo.

Bloopers

Below is a video montage of footage where things didn't go so well whilst we were filming.

Poster influences

Now we have completed our Teaser Trailer, we need to create a poster for it.  To get some ideas for this we have been looking at other supernatural films posters.


We liked this particular poster from The Woman in Black because of its subtlety of the face behind the two children, this makes it a fairly simple, yet highly effective horror poster. This is a big influence for us as we want to create a simple poster, but not too simple that an effect isn't given off to the viewer. Another reason why we liked this poster was because it didn't have too much text on it.  It just has a slogan related to the film and text to say when it is coming out.  This is good because it means not too much of the poster is swamped by text like some posters can have the tendency of doing.


As well as The Woman in Black poster, we liked the poster for rec.  We liked the idea of the camera and seeing a reflection in it.  For our poster we thought of the idea of having the main character, Alice, holding the camera and in the camera a reflection of the scary figure.  We felt this would be a fairly simple, but an effective poster.



Finished trailer

We are very happy to say we have finished our teaser trailer.  Even though we had many problems through
out making it we managed to complete it on time and are pleased with the final result.

Here it is

Our Titles for our Trailer

Below is a video of our titles that we have created in Live Type for our trailer. We had a few difficulties when creating them especially with the last block of titles. This is because we had so much information on one clip moving them about and making sure that they were the right size in such a small amount of space was difficult. However we have finished them and we are pleased with the final outcome. We decided to add an effect to the text that would reflect our trailer which is the white noise TV effect inside the letters. The effect is quite subtle in the sense it doesn't distract you from the actual text which is what we liked about it.

Final day of the Trailer

After many issues we faced whilst filming and editing our trailer we are relieved to say is finished. We are pleased with the final outcome considering it looked very unpromising at the beginning. We will upload the finished trailer next week.
