trailer reflection

I thought my trailer was an okay rough cut, however it needs a lot more work on to make it look more professional and look more like a horror trailer. Due to my audience feedback I thought of a number of key things I need to change to make it look a lot better, these include:

  • make the storyline more clear
  • re-film the trailer to make it look a lot more professional
  • actors be a lot more serious to make it more professional
  • look at the candy man trailer and mine trailer resemble that trailer
By doing these changes this would make my trailer a lot more professional and allow the audience to know more about the film's storyline and make the story more realistic and create the edge of their seats impression.

poster reflection

I feel like I did a good job on creating my poster, and I feel like it meets the codes and conventions of a typical horror poster. Also i feel like the colours used give off an eery vibe and the fading of the girl makes her look like she is dead.
Although I did do a good job, due to my audience feedback I do need to make some changes to my trailer to make it look more professional and add in more of what the audience want. I need to:

  • connect the magazine with the poster more, to make them look like they are related
  • do some more research into professional films with the same type of storyline (e.g. candy man)
  • add more of the storyline to the poster
  • add a poem or rhyme about the myth to give it a more of a creepy presents. 
By doing these changes I feel like it would allow my poster to look more professional and look more like a typical horror poster. It would also allow the audience to understand more about the film therefore this would persuade more people to watch the film.
