Facebook

To try and get more of a hype around the trailer, and to get more people to see the things we do and need feedback on, we made a Facebook page for the trailer. Giving us a window between the life of the trailer and the real world. This gave use the chance to really draw an audience in by showing them little teasers of things that are to do with our trailer, but not showing them everything all at once.

Horror Trailer Magazine cover

We made another magazine cover so that it would fit better with how a real film company promotes their trailer, sending it to multiple magazine companies and getting it onto many magazine front covers, the more magazines its on the more likely it is that the film will create an interest in it so that they will make a bigger audience and hype around the film before it comes out so that people will already be waiting to see it and they will be sure that they will make money from the film.

Editing

I have been working on editing the trailer today, and I have almost finished, I just need to change the 'coming soon' to 'Talk to Frank on October 25th' as it links with the trailer because it's all about drugs and Talk to Frank is a well known drugs help line. I also need to add in the logo for the film at the end. But I'm going to put the trailer up tonight so that I can get some feedback now and then make the final changes.

More Editing

After putting up what we had of the trailer so far, we got feedback saying we needed to make the story more clear, so we decided to look at trying out putting titles over some of the footage, heres a small screen shot of the work so far, we have decided to go for 'Have you ever been on a trip to hell?' to symbolise the journey of addicts on drugs. I was then thinking, making putting 'I have' after to make it more fitting as this story is of a girl trying to get out of drugs but it all going wrong. I also thought it might work because it makes it more personal and like you are actually following her story, rather than just another random story.

Poster

We wanted to make a mysterious looking poster for the trailer so that you couldn't really tell a lot about the image, to create more intrigue into who the two characters are. The way it has been done suggests horror as they are in a dark tunnel with one person running away and the the person having caught them and is trying to drag them back.

Company Logo

We decided to change out company logo as we thought it would be more interesting and would stand out a little more. All copyright of the image goes to JustWithIt on deviantart.

Editing part 2

We have been continuing to edit our trailer to try and make it look the best we can, we have been using I Movie to make them and trying out different effects, cuts and edits on our shots to try and find the best technique and best look we could make, here are some screen shots of the editing process.

Completed Film Poster

Here is the final product, because our horror film focus on drugs and the horror of drugs we decided to have that as the focus point of our poster. The idea was that they do a lot of drugs in the film and that is what causes the deaths so we decided to put that into the poster and make it simple but at the same time show the key element of our trailer.

Horror Poster- Class A

In the lesson I was on Photo Shop trying out an idea for our Horror Trailer poster, I wanted to start with the simple version of the poster so that it doesn't give much away and you only have a tiny window into the world of the film.
