Research & Planning: IshowU- Magazine edit

Today I have been editing my magazine, I took photographs of a'Oscar' where I then edited this by using the magnetic tool cutting around the shape then placing on my magazine for the strip at the bottom where I will fill up with Oscar picture and a winner picture including text of other winners. Here are the pictures and the IshowU video of the process.

Research & Planning: Audience feedback on poster and magazine.

Today I received audience feedback from my class, I handed out a sheet individually where they then could give me truthful answers on the strengths, areas of development and state the genre and narrative. Here is the results.




The results I have found is that all knew it is a horror genre involving a narrative of a a villain (Scarecrow) in the woodland area who is unidentified. They stated that the stengths of my poster and magazine where the editing of the photographs especially in the poster. The areas of development are to look at the text colour as some couldnt read it, slight movements of text as it's not completely accurate to other texts on the page (magazine) 

Research & Planning: Update of Teaser Trailer

Today I have been working on the Teaser Trailer After Dark, the new footage has been edited in the montage as it was lacking in shots as we compared it to the Wrong Turn teaser where it included 14 shots within the montage.

Research & Planning: Trailer- Voice Overs

We received our voice overs for our teaser trailer today from the studio in Manchester, I have edited the 'After Dark' and 'Coming Soon' into the trailer and It gives it that professional effect to the trailer and once the score has been added too I think it will give it that final push.

Research & Planning: more film footage

Research & Planning: Example of Montage

Here are some clips of montages that I have been influenced whilst editing, by watching these I have realised it is good to use fade to blacks in between each shot type and that the length of each shot helps with the tension that is built in contrast to the sound used.

Research and Planning: Poster Update

After Dark

Here is my After Dark poster so far, today I added an extra layer so that I could add a dark area at the bottom gradually building lighter, I did thia using the paint brush tool, opacking as I got further up the screen. To be complete now all it needs is a souloutte of the scarecrow on the left hand side, which I will take when I come back after the college break.
