Magazine Front Cover - Final

Our Invite

We decided to add the information onto our poster instead of making a new blank one. This should draw our audience in because we haven't made a plain invite so it publicises our trailer.

Before & After Poster Production

 - Whilst browing online for a picture of a syringe for ourposter and we came across this.






- We decided to try and imitate it so we got Rhiannon to pose with a pen under her tongue to lift it.






- In photoshop the pen was then taken out, replaced with an image of a syringe which pierced through Rhiannon's tongue, her face was coloured greyish to give the dead look. By using the burn tool we were able to give her bruises on the sides of her face to look like she had been attacked and we added blood drops to complete the look.


- The final product.

Redemption - Poster

Inspiration sprung from the SAW movie posters, the use of mainly one image to cause a lasting impression . Using a bright background firstly draws attention to the poster itself and the image which takes up most of the poster. The font is a graphic style and the writing looks like it is written in blood which goes with the theme of the SAW franchise. The colours used are minimal to create a dull and cold feel which connotes death, this is why we decided to highly saturize our own poster. The SAW poster here is actually a teaser poster which does not have the general information usually found on a full movie poster, even though we constructed a teaser trailer, we stuck to the brief and included all the information needed that is not shown on the teaser poster. The needles through the tongue was found by all three of us browsing for pictures of syringes and we chose to imitate this picture as it made us all cringe and I think it was a good way of implimenting the Hypodermic Needle Theory. To imitate the SAW font I went on dafont.com and browsed 'Distorted' fonts, this is because our Villain distorts his victims by injecting them with his own blood, this is also why we emulated the picture from google as a needle through a tongue is personal and looks painful. The colour used is brown, it looks red, we were going for the dried blood look and the font also has a sort of splatter around it which looks like the wiping of blood on it.

Soundtrack

We used a minute of this song which went well with our trailer.

Editing

At first it was tedious to go through all of our footage and cut it down, we all agreed we thought we had too much of it. I had filmed the same shots two or three times to get them right. After we'd cut them down though we had a general idea of how the shots would be put together, I suggested that the 'wall scene' (pictures of random people made to look like a stalkerish bedroom wall) should come first and then a news report saying '66 people have gone missing'. This would be the catalyst to the end result which we hadn't decided till much later on in editing, we decided to take one step at a time as I'd suggested we had to get new footage of someone being a news reporter before we filmed and we hadnt found time to do it.

But before we could actually start editing, we had to put our logo in, and from the list we all decided to choose 'Locked Productions' I think this is because it was not cliched and it had an underlying reason - someone being trapped in their past and then having no choice but to face it (or Balthazar).

We found that as it was taking a long time to edit so I decided to plan ahead and suggested all the 'victim shots' go together, this, I thought, would be a good idea and would come near the end of the teaser trailer. My group disagreed however as I had filmed other shots linked to our plot such as getting off the train and trains passing by, which were edited and made faster later.

As the shots I took formed themselves into more of a trailer we put in a green band at the beginning:

Here are the rest of the shots I took and my reasons for doing so:


- when louise misses train : this is when she begins to get stalked as she is alone when she misses the train
- when balthazar intrudes into shot : its like balthazar looks into the audience to say no one is saf from thier past
- louise walking under bridge towards camera : makes it personal, like she's walking to audience for help
- Balthazar attacking and injecting Simon : side shot to see how B grabs S and forces him down to inject him
- Balthazar injecting Simon : close up looks as though S is actually getting injected but syringe has no point
- random train shots : our setting, train station

Production Name & Logo

Here are a few ideas that we came together with within the group:

SDS (seven deadly sins) 

Premiere Productions 

Frame Productions

Merge Pictures

Red Productions

Rare Productions

Mirrors

Response

Locked Productions

Shipped

Espionage Pictures

October Productions

We found that most of the names we came up with did not sound professional and were somewhat cliched! We did a brainstorm of a few colours associated with winter/horror/halloween such as: orange, red and dark colours like black and dark grey.

Final Name: Locked Productions.

The reason I think we chose this is because it was not cliched and it had an underlying reason - someone being trapped in their past and then having no choice but to face it (or Balthazar).
