Extra Information- Inspiration



For two different reasons I have chosen to follow the outlines for both of these as my inspiration and something for me to follow. I like in the Insidious poster that the main character is more close to the camera and that he is making direct eye contact which I find very intriguing.
However, in the conjuring poster I like that there is the rope hanging, this is one of my main features in my teaser trailer so therefore it may be something in which I could have in the background of my poster.

Movie Poster Flat Plan 2

This is my second movie poster flat plan idea. In this I will still include the codes and conventions of my movie magazine but just place them in different places on the poster.

Movie Poster Flatplan 1

This is my first Flat plan idea for my movie poster. In this I will have to think of a style which I am going to continue throughout the entire piece, in terms of font style, colour scheme etc.

Teaser Trailer Ideas- Prezi




This a Prezi which I have used in order to show some of the ideas that I have for my teaser trailer.

ideal viewer profile

My ideal viewer is a 18 year old student who has a high interest in horror films and the study of films in particular.



Katie is a 18 year old student who studies, media, film and art for A-level. she is very interested in horror film and therefore adds this to her studies with passion. She has starred in her friends film studies course and therefore this has really gave her a thirst for horror films. she is found in her spare time to research the making of horror films and finds that the actors and location are the most important parts of making a good movie trailer. Katie works in a restaurant part-time as a waitress and therefore is a very outgoing and confident young girl. In Katies spare time she would visit the cinema and this is usually on a fortnightly basis.


Katie drives a mark 4 golf in navy, she loves to cruse about showing that she is very socially active and loves to interact with others.

On a weekly basis Katie attends the shopping centre near her house, her favourite shop being top shop. Katie also attends the Auction Rooms weekly for a night out with her friends. On a basic night out Katie drinks Peach Snapps with lemonade and finds that this gives her the buzz to party.

Production Company Research



Hammer - Simon Oakes


 Legendary horror brand Hammer hadn’t released a feature for over 30 years until it became part of Guy East and Nigel Sinclair’s Exclusive Media in 2008. Now, after years of false starts, it’s enjoying huge success with its ‘smart horror’ output, most notably 2012’s Daniel Radcliffe starring The Woman in Black which has taken over $125m worldwide. Follow up The Woman in Black: Angels of Death is now in the pipeline, as well as features The Quiet Ones, Boneshaker and Gaslight. It’s diversified too, launching a publishing imprint through Random House and plans a Hammer Theatre of Horror. Credits: Let Me In, Wake Wood, the Resident, the Woman in Black


Hammer Productions was first produced in 1934, but it wasn’t until the mid-1950 that they started to produce good works. During its most successful years, Hammer dominated the horror film market, enjoying worldwide distribution and considerable financial success. This success was due, in part, to distribution partnerships with major United States studios, such as Warner Bros.


In the mid 1980’s the company ceased but was then bought by a consortium group in 2000.  The company announced plans to begin making films again after this, but none were produced.


In 2007 the company was sold again and plans were announced to spend over $25 million on horror movies.


Carnival


Carnival has an outstanding reputation for creating work of the highest calibre over the past 35 years. Its critically acclaimed work has been broadcast around the world, garnering over 200 award wins and nominations, including Emmys, Golden Globes, BAFTAs, Oscars and TONYs. Founded in 1978, Carnival Films has produced many hundreds of hours of popular drama both in the UK and US, including primetime series such as Poirot, Hotel Babylon, Whitechapel, Dracula and The Philanthropist.

In this presentation I have discussed different ways that viral marketing can have an impact on Films and I have also described what viral marketing and an example of a time when it has been used in film making in an effective way

Product Placement



   Teaser trailers are made usually by a montage of shots. Trailers consist of a series selected shots from the film being advertised. Since the purpose of the trailer is to attract an audience to the film, these excerpts are usually drawn from the most exciting, funny, or otherwise noteworthy parts of the film but in abbreviated form and usually without producing spoilers. For this purpose the scenes are not necessarily in the order in which they appear in the film. A trailer has to achieve that in less than 2 minutes and 30 seconds, the maximum length allowed by the MPAA. Each studio or distributor is allowed to exceed this time limit once a year, if they feel it is necessary for a particular film.
