Censorship Screen

At the start of a trailer, there is a green screen that is used to show that the trailer is open to viewing by all audiences. I made my own version of this in case of any copyright issues and tried my best to make it look professional. For this I used a programme called paint to alter the image in order to make it look better.

The green screen above is a professional one that I have taken from the internet to use as an example and the one below is the one I have made myself for the sake of this film. I think it will show my keen attitude if I made my own.

Ancillary Task.

For my ancillary task I wanted to make my anchorage text a bit more enticing and welcoming. Therefore I decided to have a look on the internet for a font generator and I came across; http://www.dafont.com/, which is very good for making your own font. I found thought that they only did black and white font so there fore I had to do some editing to it.

This was how the font I chose looked before, I used a programme called Paint, which is standard issue programme on windows computers. I then used a feature called spraycan to fill in the circles throughout the font.

By the end of this I had managed to edit the look of the original one to make it seem a lot more professional. Also once it was done it stood out a lot more and made the whole magazine cover seem a lot more appropriate to our film.

The Watcher.

This is the final video for our trailer of the 2011 horror film, The Watcher.

Sound.

 I feel that the sound I include in the trailer is crucial to the success of said trailer. I decided to use music that I feel I would typically hear in a horror movie. I felt that this was a safe bet because I know that it will work in the film and add the feeling of enigma that I felt it needed.

This is the website where we got the sound for our film. It is a website that is compiled with a large amount of clips that are royalty free. This means we are able to use them in our media films without risking any copyright infringement.

Damn productions.

For our film, we had to come up with our own production company name and logo, so we decided to clash mine(danny) and Damian's names and we came up with Damn Productions. We then had a couple of ideas for what logo to use, here is our final logo that we decided to use:

In our film, we also used cropping tools and transitions and effects to edit the logo and make it look like an animation.

Credits/Titles.

For our media film we thought that an affective way of making the trailer seem more realistic was to have it so that the credits and trailers broke up the trailer. I also think that it adds a sense of mystery and it can help to make the story line of the trailer seem more obvious.

In order to insert a title or credit, you have to click on the make titles or credits option which will then open up the following page:

This is the part where you can decide where you would like your credit or title to play in the time sequence. Once you have decided, you click on the appropriate tab and then this page will appear:

This where you can input the text you would like to appear on your title or credit. You can also edit the font or the colour of the text/background on your credit or title. Then this means you can make it look how you want and in my case I chose what I believed would be the best suited for our film. Taking into consideration the genre and our desire to make it look profesional. Once all of this is complete, the credit or title should look like the following.



Sutton Park continued.

The shot below is some of the film footage we took in Sutton Park and I feel that it shows just what we wanted from the park and I feel that this shot shows exactly how we could use this setting effectively for a horror film.

We are going to manipulate this shot to make it usable for our trailer.
