Evaluation Question 3

Evaluation Question 2

Radio Trailer

For my radio trailer I used Garage Band to piece together all the small speech from the film that I was going to incorporate into my trailer. I used software such as total video converter to convert my film into a mp3 so I could import this into garage band. As you can see from the image above I changed most of the sound levels in order to reach my desired effect which without would just be clips talking over the top of each other. Once I was satisfied with the result I then exported it to an iTunes mp3 as there was trouble trying to upload it straight to sound cloud and then once exported I uploaded it onto Sound Cloud

Film Poster

For my final film poster I used InDesign to piece it all together as well as using photoshop to edit my images. I used my title which I explained in the last blog post and inserted it onto an image I took with the mask. In the photo I changed the lighting and contrast to enable me to create an edgy look with the mask. I also used a blending option to create soft edges on the mask, this meant that the mask blended nicely with the black background. Underneath the title I created credentials using the font Futura which is the typical font for credentials. I also added in a slogan of 'Trust No One...' which creates a uneasy feel of what the film is about. Below is my final edit of the poster which includes an age certificate and a movement of the slogan to below the film title. I preferred to put the slogan below the title as leaving it in the top right corner as you can see above looks a little out of place whereas below makes it all blend in together.

Film Title

As a group we had many options for potential film titles such as;

The Murder Diaries
Black VHS Murders
Doppelganger
Ouroboros

As we couldn't decided which our film would actually be called we received some pitch feedback from a potential audience stating their preference on which title best described our film  plot the majority of the votes came back for Ouroboros as it was an unusual title as well as making the film sound a little more creepy which was our intention. Ouroboros is an ancient Greek symbol portraying a dragon eating its own tail this symbolises re-creation in which our main character is doing in each of her killings, recreating the fantasy. To represent this in my title I decided to actually include the symbol as the beginning letter to create a sense of mystery. I did this by finding an image of the symbol on the Internet and restyling the image to fit my poster in photoshop. First of all I changed the colour of the dragon to black and white as well as adding the rest of the words in  the font Viner Hand ITC making the font look a little jagged and imperfect. I think that the overall style of the title turned out much better than anticipated as this is not what I had in mind when creating it. Below is my finished title.

Final Film

This is our short film which we have been working on throughout our blog. On here you can see the planning that it has came from in which an idea which wasn't quite like this at first. It has changed quite significantly from out film pitch as what we were expecting to film didn't quite work out the way in which we wanted it to and therefore had to make a plan B which is where this idea came from. We wanted it to have similar ideas to the original but fit it together slightly different by the use of cross cutting between scenes.

Final Scene Planning

For our final scene we needed a piece to fix together exactly why w the killings were occurring and we came up with an idea of her killing the people who thought that her fantasy was disgusting and therefore they in a way brought it upon themselves. We had already planned out how Thea was killed we just needed a reason for why it was emma as well. We had originally wanted Emma to be in the scene itself but on the day of filming it turned out that emma was too ill to make it so we thought that it would be a good idea if it came around by someone mentioning that emma said it was disgusting which would trigger her into going after her.

We wrote a quick brief of the scene onto Notes onto the mac before filming so everyone knew what they were to say and how we wanted it to be like.
