Evaluation Question 4.

Sound:

Using Youtube, We researched and deconstructed the sound in different trailers. We were influenced by the trailers of films such as 'Chernobyl Dairies' and 'Paranormal Activity 4'.
Using Logic, I then began to construct the sound that would be used in our trailer. We used synthesisers and samplers including ES2, EXS24 and Ultrabeat to  We still referred to different trailers and used them as guide tracks. We layered the different sounds and effects alongside the audio from the camera footage.
We then processed and compressed the audio file to give it a professional sound.
Once we mastered it, again using compressors...

...we inserted it into Final Cut Pro along side a muted copy of our trailer and exported it.

Editing:

We used Apple Macs and Final Cut Pro to edit our footage. Final Cut Pro allowed us to add effects to our footage. 
These effects could make our footage look older or appear as if they were filmed using Night Vision. Using GreatPhoto Pro, I edited the Hisrogram of the photo to create the effect:

We used YouTube and various Websites to see how a night vision camera works and what picture they produce.

Graphics:

We used a typeface from 'MyFonts' called 'Seedy Motel'.
We then edited the font on GreatPhotoPro. We heavily processed the font by tweaking with the histogram, adding different colour effects and vignettes. We added a vintage style effect and 'scratch' like surface to produce a 'weathered' effect:

We used the internet to research and deconstruct different posters. After looking at the conventions we began to create ours. After taking several pictures inside the factory, we settled on the photo we thought had the biggest impact. After editing the photo in GreatPhotoPro, again by editing the colours, adding colour effects and 'vintage' effects, we added the film title, tag line, release date and information on the production of the film.

We used 'WIX.com' to create the website. We used a time lapse shot of the factory as the background which we created using Final Cut Pro, uploaded it to YouTube and embedded it on our website.

We used  to create a news report from the 80's. We researched retro news reports and designed a backdrop using iStudio Publisher that would suit our 'plot':

 

 

Using a BBC news report backdrop from the 1980’s, we applied the 80’s style background to a green screen behind our actress:

Research:

We used YouTube to research existing trailers and music. YouTube provided us with a vast amount of horror films which we could deconstruct to gain knowledge on the conventions of our genre. We used the internet to research posters and websites.

Survey Monkey was used to create a survey to gather information on what our audience want to see in a horror film. By asking them a series of questions, for example; 'What age would you prefer the victim to be?', we could incorporate the information into the trailer to create a trailer our audience wants to see.
