Evaluation Question 2

Evaluation Question 1B

Evaluation Question 4

The process of editing

This is some of the process of our editing. we tried to use various techniques such as adding sound and enhancing/adjusting the contrast of the clips. Every time we edited I always gained new skills and here are a few screen grabs of the process.






Sound Effect Experiments

This is the initial sound that we wanted to edit.



We created a police radio effect using garageband to combine the static sound with a voiceover alerting the viewers of the exposition. This allowed us the create an effect that was police like and added a greater sense of narrative into the trailer.



This is the final outcome of our experiment on garageband.

Poster Draft Eleven


Film Poster Draft Ten





After looking at previous drafts I decided to change the layout of my poster to make it conform to the horror genre more. I changed the background to a black and red colour to enhance audience interpretations of the horror genre. I then used the same image as before but without it being so simplistic and used the close up in the poster. I changed the contrast and brightness to make him look sinister and a foreboding character. I then also changed the font of the tagline and film name to make it look like it was a part of the slashing action, like it was being dragged across with a knife or even torn apart.

Film Mag Draft 5


This is another developmental draft of my previous drafts. On this draft I decided to change the positioning of the information to make it look effective, however I think that it may look a bit too clustered for a horror magazine and there is a lot of font variety which I think makes the magazine look like a different genre.
