Soundtracks

This song is ideal for the soundtrack for my film trailer, this is because it has a sense of sadness, and also I think that it will give me the correct effect on my trailer, although I would have to edit it so that  can have scary parts in the song with higher pitch screams etc. at the right time so that they have the effect that I want on my audience.

I have also used the software, Garageband in order to create some sounds for my film that I think will be good for my trailer, however this has not gone to well for me, this is because I have found that using this is hard to get the acquired effect that I want.

Make-up Research

For the ghost part in my trailer i need to loom into the make up for this in order to make the film look realistic, which i have found a video on youtube video which will be very helpful for me.  And will try and duplicate and take pictures and judge wether or not this will be the right make up that i need.

This tutorial shows how to make a person look like the grudge which is an ideal look for what i want my ghost to look like on my trailer.

Costume & Props for trailer

These are some of my ideas for what i would like my actors to be wearing, for this i will need to get people that are trendy and like to wear these clothes and that have got the money to be able to buy these clothes, or already own similar clothes.

These are some ideas that I have had for my characters costumes for males, these are all based on the target audience that i am aiming at, these clothes are all clothes that are stereotypically associated with males around the ages 15-24.

Below are some of the props and clothes that the villain will be wearing and using. 

Costume & Props for Poster

 

These were the crops and props that I thought that I was going to use for my poster, but instead I chose to have the male killer on as the photo so quite simply all that I needed for this was the shot of the male with a black hoody on, which made it look like a silhouette.

Costume & Props for Magazine

Flat Plan of Magazine & Poster

 This was the layout that I drew in order to get the idea of what I want my poster to look like.  I included things that I need like the title, ratings and quotes, release date, credits and actors, website, tag lines and the positioning of the photo.  I have not got all the information that I need so then i have drew below what the image i want to look like and have done all the bits that I know.

This is the flat plan for what I would like to have my magazine cover to look like.  

Timeline

Font Research

These are some of the fonts that I have looked at for my magazine title and looking at these fonts I realised what I need for my font.  All these fonts that I have chosen are what I was looking for, as they would all make a good title for my magazine.  After a lot of thought into which font that I want to use, I chose the Shaun of the Dead title, this is because it has got the horror connotations that I wanted for the magazine. 

The below fonts are what I have looked at for the Exclusive part on my front cover and will have 2 different fonts, they all have there own different good and bad points.  I like the Broken ghost and the pulse virgin best out of them all as they are more sophisticated and I think thy look better than just having a plain font. So I have chosen, the fonts; Broken Ghost and Pulse Virgin, which will work for my magazine I think.

Below is a font that I considered for part of my title,

Moodboard

This is a moodboard that designed to represent the type of films that people that will be watching my film trailer will like and I have included the things that like with the use of colours, like blacks and reds, with the blood splats, etc.

Ideal Locations

These below are some ideal locations that I would like to have in my trailer, and I will be looking into these ideas.  Some of these will be difficult to get hold of but I will try and sort them out as i think that these will benefit my trailer as they are ideal for my trailer as they all associated with the genre as a scary scene. 

Above is an old abandoned classroom, this is an iconic scene for a horror film as thee horror i'm doing will be like a supernatrual haunting as so it begins.  I am already looking into these locations and have looked into the schools around my area but none of which are old enough inside to be able to portray this so i may have to use an old abandoned house which is accessable.  I already have a place in mind and have thought about using the old abandoned farm house situated in chilton which will be ideal as it looks issolated.

This staircase was an image that I obtained from google, this is another iconic scene from a horror film.  This will be a good scene to use in my trailer, as it will be "spine chilling" as the effect of it looking old makes it spooky and with the corerect sound over will scare the target audience and will have a very good effect on my trailer.

With my film being about teenagers that are at college/university the train station will be a good location in order to get a few shots.  the lighting in a train station at night is usually quite spooky.  However in order to get these shots i will have to ask for the permissions which may be difficult to get but i am looking into.  And i am considering using darlington train station, newcastle and durham also which will be ideal as they are all local.  However none of these look slightly like the image above, they are older looking.  Below is a shot of newcastle train station;

Audience Research Summary

From my research into the target audience's I found that I should be aiming my trailer at people the between  the ages 15-24, I gained this information from looking at films that were very similar to the genre that I want to make.
There are different things that I can do in order to make this film realistic and make people between the ages 15-24 able to relate to the things that occur during the film. To do this I have had some ideas in order to make people around this age want to go and see this film either at the cinema or wait till it comes out on DVD.
I have thought about the magazine cover and the poster that will be used for billboards, bus stops and will be situated outside of cinema;s in order to let people know that this film is up and coming.  I have thought about colour scheme's in order to attract both males and females which means that I will have to use colours like blues reds and greens which are al colours that can be related to by both genders, for the magazine cover I will using dominants blacks, to link with the horror, and red's.
For my poster the main image will be of the ghost in the corner, then there will be a silhouette in the window which they will not be able to tell who it is which gives the film that little sense on mystery, and hopefully will make people think about who it could be and make them want to go and see this film.

Secondary Audience Research

These are 3 different profiles that I have obtained from http://business.pearlanddean.com/ which are all of horror films that are related to the type of film that I want to make my trailer for. 

Don't be afraid of thedark is a film that is not yet released and is set to be released on the 7th of October, this film should be aimed at people within the ages of 15-24 which it is as it shows this from the research that i have carried out on audiences.  Also The Omen is aimed at the same age group, as is Paranormal Activity 3 so therefore from this I know that i will be aiming my trailer at people around this age range.  These show me that this is who i should be using as my target audience so i will aim to use things that will appeal to this audience and try and use people around the age of this target audience. The gender difference does not exist with the film genre Horror as they all roughly around about the 50/50 which means that i will have to aim it at both genre's.  Most of the Genre difference is that females tend to watch these more often slightly.
