The Blair Witch Project
Unfriended
|
Both of these are a lot more appropriate to re create as they use different types of location and technologies. However to do Unfriended we would have to locate all the different software to help us create it.
Personally I like The Blair Witch Project the bast as I feel we would benefit more from doing something like that. Also I live with lots of trees around me and old buildings meaning we wont have to hunt down for suitable locations. I also like how simple it is, it create quite a atmosphere having just ambient sound. |

Today we defiantly decide to recreate the The Blair Witch Project, Much to my happiness!
I also stared on creating the risk assessment as that is a very important stage of creating our Swede. However we have also decided we are going to take some harder clips from other trailers to expand our ability and our knowledge about them. Everyone else started on the website creating pages and analysing or original inspiration and we also discussed what ideas we have for our own trailer We thought about doing supernatural or something quite disturbing not a slasher or a zombie as we psychological things a lot more frighting than gore.

Today we did some research on sounds in trailers; how they are similar and different. I found it quite interesting how they are quite similar, the music is parallel to the editing as the editing becomes a faster pace when it gets towards the end of the trailer; this happens in most trailers that we studied today, as it builds up the tension while the watcher is viewing it, making it seem more dramatic. If you were to watch it without music it would hardly have a effect on the watcher, this shows how powerful the music in trailers and films is. However with our swede trailer, The Blair Witch Project, It only uses ambient sound, which is effective in this trailer but would not be in some, for example; The Poltergeist.

Today we conducted some audience research on different online platforms to see what is trending in 2015. We found that, like last year people tend to enjoy supernatural rather than gore, meaning that films like Fright Night and The poltergeist would trend better withe the public and more people would come to see the movie. A trailer is very important as it potentially advertises the film and makes the people watching the trailer actually want to watch the movie, and sometimes the trailer makes the movie seem better than it actually is. I also started to plan the questionnaire, and how we are going to present it. I thought it would be quite interesting to present it differently that the hole class has; instead of filming the people answering the questions, have something animated to make it more interesting, even though I don't actually know what that is yet, I'm sure I can figure something out.

Today we finished writing out the questionnaire on the website. We started thinking about ideas but didn't actually jot them down as non of them inspired us. We have also planned to record our swede trailer this week end at my house as this is the most appropriate place to film.

Today I finished writing the Movie poster analysis page and made sure everything was correct. I went through all the pages and made sure there was buttons to each of them, adding in the buttons when there weren't.
