Film Magazine Research

I've been looking at film magazine covers for my second ancillary product research.

Did I Meet My Targets 23rd October

My target for this week was to sketch some posters, I met this target as I sketched a total of 4 posters which have given me a guideline for creating the end result.

Concepts for My Poster Sketches

 This poster is a close up of the possessed boy's face, he looks really unwell which I'll recreate with makeup and he's holding the music box which will have the title on the lid.

 This poster shows a close up of the possessed boy’s eye, something which I’ve see a lot of emphasis on in real posters, in the pupil of his eye I’ve created the illusion that the boy’s soul is within screaming.

Targets For This Week 19th October

My target for this week is 

• to sketch some posters.

I need to do this because I need to get a better idea of what I want my poster to look like so that I can start making it.

Setting

I'm going to look at each of the scenes of my storyboard and decide where it will be filmed and at what time of the day so I can start to prepare and plan filming.  

Did I Meet My Targets 16th October

My target for this week was to include more theory onto my blog, I have done so by researching into binary oppositions within existing horror films which has impacted ideas for my own trailer.

I also researched into Propp's character theory which helped me to make sense of the characters within my own plot,

Propp theory in my horror trailer

I made this prezi of the Propp character theory- I researched the theory and how it links to horror as well as how it links to my horror trailer.

I did this so I can check if my trailer is meeting typical conventions.

I found that I had most of the typical characters in my trailer, however there were some which I found difficult to relate to horror and therefore to my trailer.
