Movie Poster - Final picture and analysis

We used this shot because we felt the background was a good representation of where the trailer was filmed and the doorway worked perfectly for keeping the gas mask as concealed as we wanted it to be. We edited the space behind the doorway to show a definite contrast between the protagonist and the antagonist, this makes the poster easier to understand and a bolder picture.

When beginning to edit this photo, we, at first, cropped it to make it into a portrait photo but we felt that we were not using the photograph to it's best potential, so we decided to keep it landscape, and make a film poster in the form of one that is used outside and around a cinema, and this we felt was a great success.

Storyline - reconstructed

First Draft.
After the denial of permission from the hospital that we had planned on filming at, we had to reconstruct our storyline. We began to film scenes of our actors preparing to go somewhere haunted, but we were not pleased with the footage, feeling that it was too slow, with too much dialogue and did not have the creepy atmosphere that we had hoped for.

Alternative location.
We found another filming location that had much more diversity and could fit well with our genre of trailer. The following storyline was one that we based around the filming location and is the final storyline for our trailer.

Structure.

The trailer is split into two half's, both with different feelings, shots, structures and music to make the audience feel a mixture of emotions. The First contains slow, creepy music, with relatively bright shots, to create a slow building of tension and unease. The Second is much fast, with vastly darker, more graphic shots to make the audience quickly feel scared and horrified.

Final Storyline - Part One.
A group of teenagers, who appear to just be on an outing in the woods (which is filled with ruins) walk around aimlessly, lost and scared. A mysterious, masked figure is scene in the background of these shots. The words (Curiosity... Got the better of them appears on the screen) and as the trailer progresses, people begin to be kidnapped by the mysterious figure, unknown to the protagonist of the story, who is aware of the presence and is trying to locate his friends, while trying not to gain attention from the kidnapper.

Final Storyline - Part Two.
There is an establishing shot of a strange house, connoting that the masked man has taken the victims there. Suddenly, the pace of the trailer is completely transformed as trailer suddenly becomes fast paced and intense, with fast music and half second shots of people being tortured, this will scare the audience because of it's direct contrast to the slow, steady first half of the trailer.

Filming schedule

Cheshunt Park Footage;
When we thought we would be able to shoot the majority of the footage in Whipps Cross, we shot the beginning of the trailer in Cheshunt park, which is a park similar mito Cedars, but did not provide the same en scene that included ruins and different types of forest areas. The footage was not use mise en scene able for the following reasons.
- The Lighting throughout the footage changed because of the time of year and because we took lots of shots of the same scene the lighting did not correspond.
- The Footage we shot did not contain enough action (walking shots, running shots etc...) and we also did not get the establishing shot that we felt was needed for the first scene. This meant that the trailer was too slow starting, with too much dialogue, meaning it didn't have to atmosphere we were looking to create.
- When we were denied permission from the hospital we felt that the trailer should begin at the main place it was set, when we came across cedars park it only made sense to drawn a line under the footage that was previously filmed and start again.


Cedars Park Footage.
Initial filming was on the 26th of November where we filmed the vast majority of the trailer. All scenes based in cedars park were filmed on this date and the photo for the movie poster was also taken. The Filming was Successful because; - The lighting was perfect, the natural light allowed us to pick up all of the detail, we filmed at the right time of day because the lighting throughout the shots corresponds well.
- We produced around 10 minutes of footage, with a variety of shots at different distances, angles, and places throughout the location, this meant we easily had enough footage to find the best shots we could.

Torture Scene footage.
The Torture scenes are filmed in our drama studio, we decided this would be a good place for our torture scenes because it had lots of props, space, chairs and everything we needed to film these scenes. The room also gave us the ability to film in total darkness, which was perfect because the vast majority of the footage we wanted to be in night vision, to create the illusion that the kidnapper was filming his victims.
