Overall Audience Feedback And Alterations Along The Way

We collected and analysed audience feedback throughout the whole process. We took our audience feedback very seriously due to the fact that having different peoples views helped us to get to where we would want to be with both our trailers and our individual ancillaries.

Trailer draft 1: In our draft 1 our audience feedback was quite negative, as people mentioned many obvious problems such as lighting issues and continuity errors and another big problem was the fact that we had no music and the fact that our trailer felt more like an opening sequence rather than a trailer was also mentioned.

Trailer draft 2: We took into consideration our audience feedback from draft 1, we did this by adding music and also by changing certain scenes in order to try and get the trailer feel instead of an opening sequence feel. In our draft 2 our audience feedback was better,

Trailer draft 3: In draft 3 we changed the beginning  just like our audience said, so that i could have a feel of a trailer and not an opening sequence. For this draft our audience feedback was very positive the only thing that was pointed out was the fact that we had some camera and lighting issues.

Trailer draft 4: For our draft 4 we re-filmed certain scenes in order to make the shots and lighting better. Overall our feedback for out final trailer was very positive as our audience pointed out the fact that we for sure paid attention to all their feedback.

Audience Feedback Draft 3

"I liked the plot of the trailer, at some points i was confused i believe that credits/ titles would help. in order to get the horror/comedy effect i think there should be more sudden pauses and different music to add to the comedy feel. Overall i really like this trailer and think that it is a big improvement"

Audience Feedback Draft 1

"I understood and saw some aspects of comedy and of horror, even though there were some big issues such as music, and lighting and also some continuity errors, to improve i think adding music would be a really good start because it'll make it easier for us audience to understand whats going on"

Gombie Trailer: Draft 1

Zombie based make up ideas

• This the sort of zombie make up look we want Zoey to have. 
• The use of white on the face and black around the ideas is very effective, we are also going to have me (Zoey) wearing white eye contacts and also having an open wound on her forehead in order for her to look more zombie like.
• This will be done using the following things, baby powder, white face paint, black face paint, red face paint food colouring and eye contacts.

Mood Board And Deconstruction

Deconstruction of mood board:

Locations/setting: indoors (party and chair (bedroom)) outdoors (pathways (heart))

Characters: 2 girl bestfriends, 1 zombie costume boy 1 normal human

Themes: horror (through the make up, costumes, props) comedy (montage settings (mailbox, rusty nails, fake arm)

Lighting: a mixture of low key lighting (dark room with lamp) and high key lighting (outside scenes)

Sound: phone and party

Colour Tones: dark colours (blacks/Browns/reds)

MES: specific montage props (nails, hair brush, fake arm, posters) 

Meaning: I did all the images in black and white as the background then the same image but in colour to make them stand out and also to show the contrast. 

Which symbolises the contrast between the Bestfriends.

Each image links, 2 bestfriends the phone call, the chair in the corner, the acceptance of being a zombie, putting up posters, the mail box, the arm falling off, the doing of the hair and nails going wrong.

I tried to make the contrast between the 2 bestfriends very clear by showing their different type of ideal boyfriends (zombie and Ronaldo) and also the nice light make up and the heavy dark black eyes and cuts on mouth and eyes.

Horror Film Trailers

We watched the trailer for Amityville: The Awakening and analysed different media aspects in it:

- CAM SAMC: mostly consisted of close up wide shots and zoom.

- MES: haunted isolated house, dolls.

- EDITING: lots of transitions are used to switch from scenes, however the transitions linked well to the theme with the sound effects added (hospital/machine like beeps). Also as the trailer went on the transition went from fade to black to straight cuts.

- SOUND: score music, heavy breathing, incidental music when boy awakens.
 
 we also focused on:

- Codes and conventions: female is the victim, the house is has a back story of why its haunted, there are teenagers involved.
  - Representation: characters are outsiders, dolls reflect characters after death.

 - Audience: after watching the trailer I would say the trailer is a 15. With an audience of both male and females,between 15 and 25 (young adults).

- Institution, the producer that produced paranormal activity, insidious and sinister also produced this film therefore has inherited audiences which is a benefit for them.

we also wrote out our trailer in detail focusing on particular aspects:
