Location Scouting

Location 1- St Mary’s High School
This location is spacious and convenient for the cast members to get to as it is a location that everyone is familiar with. As it is a school, it is an extremely appropriate and ideal setting. When filming here I will be using the corridors and the car park. The lighting for these are extremely well lit; this helps to add to the flashback style of the bullying scenes and it also helps to contrast with the darker, more sinister shots when the spirit is present.

Location 2 – House
The majority of the film, and therefore the trailer, is going to take place in this house. This location is rather ideal as it is spacious and has a fireplace which is what is needed for one of the gore scenes. In addition, it also has the suitable space and facilities to create the prosthetics. It is in a suburban area which is easy to access via the train and easy enough for the cast to get to. The living room, bedroom and possibly the garden will be used for the opening scene with Lucy, the séance scene and any of the torture scenes.

Location 3 – Abandoned building

This was the building that I wanted to use initially as it would have been the location where the Ouija board would have been found and where the rest of the plot would have carried out. The setting itself looked extremely terrifying and unsettling which would help to add to the horror of the film. Each of the rooms looked rustic and dishevelled as the building was from the 1800’s. however, this location could not be used due to the fact that it was rather far away v(as it was in London) and it also needed to be hired out and the price was out of our budget (they required £1000).

Trailer Analysis 2: Deadpool

For my next trailer analysis, I am going to evaluate Tim Miller's Deadpool, starring Ryan Reynolds. This superhero comedy is one of Marvel and 20th Century Fox's highest grossing films of 2016, and is also the highest grossing R rated movie. The film's director, Tim Miller, has been known for making the opening sequences for films such as 'The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo' and 'Thor: The Dark World', so he has previously worked with Marvel before and have experience and credibility with them as a company. The narrative type for this trailer is mostly linear, however, towards the end, montage's are used which makes it non-linear. Deadpool, as an entire film links to Steve Neale's genre theory of repetition and difference. Which states that "difference is absolutely essential to the economy of genre" and by not subverting to the standard genre conventions, a film becomes more appealing to audiences. Alternatively, a film also needs to con...

Company Logo

Image
I had decided to adapt my logo from last year; I thought that the name was aptly suited for the genre of horror as it is a double entendre as not only is it my initials but it is also a sound of fear. I wanted to  show a link to horror through my logo and I used the colours for my typography together as it seemed distorted and blurred, which links well to the distortion of reality and the supernatural which is present within horror films. The circle used over the start of the text is what would resemble the clarity of the normal world, which is normally brought to light towards the end of a film. the colour black has been used as a base colour purely to make the font stand out more. it also represents the unknown which is usually used to develop some fear from the audiences within films.
