Research and Planning: Character Names

To decide our characters names, my partner Georgina and I decided to look on popular baby names websites.

After spending some time looking over them we decided on 'Megan' for our main protagonist and 'Bobby' for the antagonist.

Research and Planning: Horror Film Posters Research

Image: The main image in this poster is of the victim and villain in the center. The identity of the villain is hidden from the audience; this is done purposefully to add mystery to the poster, thus drawing the audience in.

Font: 'The Tall Man' is written in a bold font which is coloured white to make it stand out in contrast with the dark background. 

Colour: Low-key lighting is used to translate the genre of the film, as it is a horror we know that the film will include dark themes such as death.

Image: The main image in this poster is the villain. He is in centre frame which shows us that he is the main character. The image also has a background of a creepy forrest which indicates that the film is set in an abandoned location far out from a city or populated place.

Font: The font is coloured in red and is bold. 

Colour: Low-Key lighting is used to show that the film has dark themes. The colour schemes are red, black and grey. 

Research and Planning: Film Title Ideas on Solvr

After much deliberation my partner Georgina and I have decided to use 'Vengeance' as the name of our film trailer.

Research and Planning: Costumes for Trailer

In most scenes in the trailer 'Bobby' will be wearing a black hoodie. This outfit is stereotypically worn by criminals in gangs etc. as it is a secretive clothing that can be used to conceal identity when the hood is up. It is also a typical 'youth' item. Therefore it fits in well with our trailer as all of the characters are young college students.

'Bobby' will also be wearing this type of clothing during the trailer. As we are shooting the trailer during winter this outfit is suitable and understandable. 

Research and Planning: Props for Trailer

1. Cable Ties

2. Knife

3. Phones

Research and Planning: Equipment/Software

All of the above are items/software's that I will use for my coursework. Together with my partner Georgina, we will use each of the above for different reasons including pre-production, production, post-production and evaluation.
