Photography for poster.

s

The idea for the poster was to young the young girls naive and innocent nature, on the left hand side of her face and on the right hand sand dark and possesed to show that she has been taken over. This was created not only with make up but with the technology from photoshop and i movie to create. We made it dark and gothic with a blue tint to signify the horror genre.

Group Initial Idea.

Truth Or Dare ? 

• Starts with a shot of a groups of young (aged 12) Caucasian females round a fire, there is non-diegetic sound of girls singing nursery rhyme "if you go down to the woods today, you're in for a big surprise" (shows the girls are naive and happy)
  
• Cuts to girl packing clothes and her mum telling her to be careful and not go off on her own. This can give the audience some exposition and narrative enigma, as to what may happen in the film later on.
• Cuts back to the girls, one girl is telling a story of how one of her mums friends went missing in the woods when they were little and was never found (narrative enigma). They then start playing truth or dare it is the main protagonists turn she chooses dare. The other girls dare her to go into the woods and find the stream and bring back some water to prove you have found it.
• As she is walking into the woods she hears noises and thinks someone is following her she starts running and falls right next to the stream and you just see a shadow then her body being taken over.
• She goes missing then 5 years later is found and returned home but she appears different, she starts school but her 'friends' don't realise who she is. That every night she becomes possessed. On the same date 5 years later of her disappearance, that night she goes and gets her revenge on the girls . . . . . . . 

Definition of a Teaser Trailer.

The aim of a teaser trailer is to not give away all the narrative as alot of trailers do, it gives the audience a higher level of narrative enigma and generates interest and hype before the release. They can be produced whilst a film is in production this would most common for indie film makers like ourselves, an example of a teaser trailer that was realesed well before its viewing date is toy story 3, this was made possible because its part of a conglomerate and is a very well known film.

Final Cut Express Review.

I went into the the workshop with a limited knowledge of Final Cut Express. Lucky for me I'm a fantastic learner and the teacher was super he was personable, and had many years of experience in the media industry. We were off to a good start

At first i was intimidated by the software, it felt like i was alone in a desert and a lion was hunting me down. Victor made sure the lion was shot dead and that i left the building feeling like Bill Gates.

Learning the basics skills was easier said than done. Vic joked around about me being left in the distance whilst the rest of the class stormed ahead, he helped me out with a few simple skills which helped me move onto the next stage. I came to realise that Final cut express is amazing, not only is it simple to use but its accurate and FUN!

We focused on the editing of sound which was useful as we hadn't done that in class. Vic's wife was an examiner and she found that students lack of interest in the area of sound really got on her nerves. Vic sorted this problem out for his wife by given us the tips for the nips.

Overall i left the hot headed room mentally stimulated with new facts and thoughts ;) rushing through my young naive mind. Vic had brain washed me for the better....forget iMovie, final cut is the future!
