Film Trailer (The Disturbed)

Film poster (The Disturbed)

The poster was created in Photoshop, along with the magazine and titles, and proved to be a struggle, but an adventurous struggle as I myself had never used Photoshop before and neither had any of the other members. We used the help of online tutorials and began the process of creating our film poster. We started with the background. For this we had to find the right background that offered the idea of a dark sinister film. Next was the titles. We researched how to separate the letters from each other to make it look more professional and then placed blood splatters behind the text to make it look like the victims blood.  We then moved onto the production credits which was simple as we just made some text larger than the others. The final part was the main image and proved to be the most difficult as we had to make sure it looked the best it could be. When it was finally finished we used some blending tools and altered the gradient to create the misty image. 

Film magazine (The Disturbed)

This is our film magazine. It follows the typical features of a horror magazine and uses the typical format of a black background with red coloured text. The images each represent different films and features in the magazines-with two of the pictures being created by ourselves (the middle picture and the top right picture). The image in the middle was taken in the woods and then edited in Photoshop to create a more sinister look. The whole poster was edited in Photoshop with the help of tutorials and teamwork.  

Film Titles From Trailer (The Disturbed)

This image is the title of our film and the production credits. It is a screenshot from our trailer as it appears at the end. The credits shows the audience what each member of the group did-and shows that the work was shared between them. We are very proud of this as it shows that all of our teamwork and hard-work has all eventually paid off.

Also, no need to worry, trailer will be up tomorrow!

Time Management- "The Disturbed"

The table below shows the schedule for our upcoming trailer of our new film called "The Disturbed". We filmed in various locations, including Ashtead, Leatherhead and Fetcham. This gives the audience a sense of realism as it is set all over instead of just one location. Each individual had a role in the planning but when it came to creating the trailer we all shared the roles with helping in the filming and editing to give us a better understanding and experience of the production.

The mise-en-scene, such as the clothing, was chosen specifically to get a certain reaction from the audience so they understand who the main protagonist is and who the extras are too. The black clothing of the main antagonist (Ryan Eastman) shows he is the murderer of the film and is the evil within the home of our main Protagonist. 

The lighting of our film is quite light as it is in a house but is dark at times, especially in the woods, which adds to the Horror aspect. 

We used many shots, including high angle shots and close ups, to show the vulnerability of the characters and enhance the situation they have found themselves in. 

Production update

On Wednesday 7th January we travelled to Fetcham to continue the production of our film, "The Disturbed", and we used a variety of camera angles and locations to add a dynamic angle to our film. Each individual had a different role; Connor's role was to help film and also star in the film, Rachel was the main protagonist and also played a directing role in the film too by offering ideas, Ryan was the antagonist and I was also a Director.

On the day we filmed most of our trailer and included many aspects from the horror genre, including props, such as knives, suspense-packed scenes and the idea of a vulnerable woman home alone. We had very low lighting to give it that horror aspect. The mise-en-scene of the antagonist was a long black coat that covered the entire body of the murderer as if he was a shadow-we chose this colour as black is the typical colour of an antagonist but also because the colour black connotes evil and darkness. He then had a knife in his hand which was his murder weapon for the film but throughout the film other props/weapons would have been used.
