Research & Planning : SLR vs Digital

We did some test using both digital and SLR Cameras to compare the quality of them both.
Over all SLr images were of better quality. As the images were more sharper and the colour standed out more. The SLR was also a lot more focused compared to the didgital

Our Film poster image and Magazine image will need to be
. Clear indication of our genre
. Include no red eye
. No blursion so clearly focused
. High quality shots

Research & Planning : Mis-en-scene









In these photos it shows some of the mis-en-scene used in our trailer.
For the blood we did differnt tests on a white sheet to see which one looked more realistic. We tested Ketchup , Fake blood and Food colouring. In the end food colouring looked more realistic so we used them as seen in the pictures.
For costume i decided it would be best if we just kept it to a plane white old nighty as it looks plan but is effective in giving it that freaky look. We also used red contact lenses. I did stephs make up with pale white powder to make her look pale and washed out. Then darkend her eyes with black and red eyeshadow. We also put blue eye shadow on her lips giving a cold ghostly effect.
I thought the mis-en-scene worked well as it clearly suggests to the audience the genre and a slight insight to the storyline of the trailer.

Research & planning : Audience Feedback Results

Today in lesson we shown our work so far to the rest of the class. This was so they could evaluate it and feeback on the positive and negative things so we would know what needs changing.

The postive feedback we got from our audience was ;
.The music went very well with are horror and possession theme.
. Its clear to the audience the storyline of are trailer.
. Editing transitions helped build suspense
. Ambiance was created well.
. The Font matched very well as it shown clear conventions of horror film

The negative feedback we got from are audience was ;
.It needs to be shorter as its a teaser trailer so it shouldn't be to long.
. Needs more camera angles.
. Get more of the real footage filmed.

Representation
. Reprets religious beliefs about good and evil and the devil which in this case represents religious beliefs to be true due to the girl beeing possesed
. Represents young women to be more vunerable as the demon chose to possess a girl rather than the mail doing the Ouija Boarded showing women as more weak.
. Representation of the youth minds wanting to explore in a postive way but then turns out bad.

Research and Planning:Mise-en-scene Research

Here i did some reasearch on Mise-en- scene as this is my area for the teaser trailer.
From this trailer i liked the idea of the old fashioned nighty with the blood smeared across it i think this would look effective in our trailer.






Here i liked the setting in the bedroom scene this looking like the possession has took place over night. I think this will look effective in are trailer







Here i like the fog and the setting in a big open space i think will look effective as it can create tention as the possesesed girl could be anywhere. It also gives the image of her beeing lost
