Font Ideas

 





These are  a few examples of fonts i may include within my film magazine and poster. Having a choice of fonts will allow me to experiment and get feedback from my audience to see which  design they prefer. My main idea i was going for is a font which relates to blood written on a wall, i believe this will give a horror chill to my poster - this will also inform my audience which genre my film is showing. My top 3 fonts within the collection is 5th 8th and 10th these three fonts resemble my main idea due to it portraying dripping blood and horror chill.

Poster Ideas

    








These are my poster ideas which i am thinking of creating, my personal favourite is the bottom one due to it being simple, straight to the point and fitting under the correct conventions of a horror genre. I have used an eye as my main image due to it being convenient with the film title ' I Can See You '. I would then place an image of the victim within the eye, to make it look realistic that the character is being watched.

Logos and Intertitles


This was the inter logo i created as part of my trailer and marketing campaign. I found that it was easy and simple to create and it looks rather effective, and almost realistic compared to professional inter logos. I used "Ghostwood Development Project" as my inspiration for my layout. I think using this inter title will add a more professional image and approach to my trailer. 




This is a black card which i created for my film, to certify that it can be watched for my target audience which as seen from the card itself is for 15 years and above. The same as the logo i created, having this to start my trailer off, first of all allows permission to my audience however its also creates the professional standard i wanted.

Call Sheets

My main character within my trailer is based on a 20 year old student who has recently just moved into a new house after recently getting into a new University.  I have chosen a brunette character to go with the dull and grim theme of the horror movie. She is an ordinary girl who dresses with the up to date styles. I have chosen this particular character to be seen as a "ordinary, natural girl" due to it emphasizing more on a real life event, having a gothic stereotype would make it more obvious and unrealistic.
I was unfortunate to only find one character for my trailer - this was a down fall to my trailer, i should of took into consideration finding a more experienced and larger cast to add more exciting and scary plots into my trailer. Nevertheless, i used the same girl twice, however just dressed her in two different outfits to show two various characters which are involved within the trailer.

Location

I have chosen a family household as my main location for my trailer due to it being an inspiration from my previous research of horror films ie; Paranormal Activity. Having a home as my main location fits well into my main idea of fears due to it being based on wanting to feel safe in your own home nevertheless, the narrative I have created is implying that not everyone is safe within their own home. This is a common fear of humans due to their own shelter being a safety area compared to other locations or places.
Whilst filming i have used various rooms such as; The main living are, dinning room, bedroom, kitchen, stairwell, bathroom and garden. I thought using a rang of rooms would make the trailer more exciting and intriguing due to only seeing 2 minuets of the film. Each room shows that there will be different stories to tell and questions to asked therefore this is the reason i included numerous of location within the household to not make it simple and boring but to however create more of a fear due to unknown occurrences happening in more than one room.

Health and Safety-
I filled out these evaluations to make clear of my hazards when shooting my trailer. Due to my location my hazards weren't drastic to cause much trouble, nevertheless was a useful way to highlight the smallest trip ups which could be possible.

Questionnaire






I created this questionnaire as just another media format to help show my statistics for how my target audience prefer to watch there horror films. This method seemed to be a simple and efficient way of getting people to tell me blunt answers to help improve on my trailer.
