This movie poster is fairly simple in nature but has a big effect on the audience, this inspires me as it shows how such a simply shot and designed poster can affect an audience is such a profound way. This has further effect as the Korean actors are unknown to a British audience. The Body Language of the two sisters gives this poster added mystery as it appears one of the sisters is alive but the other is dead however the blood is covering both of the sisters. The "mother" of the sisters is holding the child that is alive which could suggest that this family is broken inside ad people are taking sides. The tag line in this poster is almost hidden as it is in the same font as the characters clothing it is on top on, the wording of this again shows that there may be a divide within the family.

Magazine Front Cover

Empire Magazine is labelled as the "Worlds Biggest Movie Magazine" and is very famous. The simplistic front covers with a high resolution image along with the "Empire" heading being covered most of the time, is very effective. Buzz words such as "ultimate" are increased in size over the rest of the cover and is in a different colour to the rest of the text. In this case red is being used to attract the audience toward it. In my Magazine front cover i could take some of these design aspects and use them in my own way to create a professional front cover.

The Posession trailer

This trailer gives an excellent effect on the audience by using an enigma code in the form of the box. It is suggested that this box is what the film is based around and through CGI the effects of this box becomes apparent, these scenes are quite gruelling and not something could replicate with what I have, but it is a contrast with the last trailer proving that although the CGI is good, the previous trailer provides more mystery.

This could also help with my film idea its self as it contains a mysterious element.

Original Script

(The film will start with the camera doing a 360^o pan of the trees. The camera will begin to slow towards the end of the pan to show a girl coming out of the trees, this will be a very long shot. She will begin to walk towards the camera until she has walked past it.)

(The next shot will be of the back of the girl in a long shot from the point of view of someone in the bushes.)

Sound: A twig breaks (sounds extremely loud)

(Girl looks round medium shot, extreme close up on panicked looking eyes. Close up of the girl shaking her head begins to walk away)

(Camera is the girls’ point of view, hands come around and cover the camera (this represents someone putting their hands over the girls eyes)

Male voice: Guess who.

(Camera goes back to the third person’s point of view showing another student -male- with his hands over her eyes. Girl spins around over the shoulder close up of the boy’s face).

Girl: You moron Cameron you nearly gave me a heart attack.

Cam: (laughing) Sorry Jade but that was to easy.

Scene 2  

(long shot of the back of Bede facing the path, using the walk into space have the two characters walk past the camera, having an animated discussion)

(Keeping the characters in medium long shot they walk while disusing what made them nervous)

Cam: what has you all jumpy.

Jade: sorry but I haven’t felt right since what happened to Danny.

(They stop. Over the shoulder shot from Cam’s point of view with a close up on jade’s face)

Cam: Jay you know that his death was ruled as suicide so don’t worry about it.

Jade: I had known Danny since I was four years old he would not have commit suicide.

(Cam starts walking again shaking his head).

Scene 3

(The two of them standing on the steps looking up at the school)

(teacher comes out of one of the alcoves)

Teacher: (yells) Hey you two

(cams point of view looks at the teacher)

Teacher: (angry) my office now.

Jade: God I hate this place

(They walk into the building. Zoom out to an extreme long shot showing the school. As the door closes you hear a shrill scream.)

The House at the End of the Street

This trailer shows many effects that can be applied to a horror film trailer to effect the audience in a variety of ways, the strobe effects combined with short takes allows provides a teaser to the audience about who the main antagonist will be, without spoiling the film in its entirety. This also shows how different camera effects can really improve a basic shot e.g. the fish bowl effect on the forrest. This trailer matches the conventional horror film trailer as its structure and use of short takes and fast editing is very reminiscent.

Idea for coursework project

My initial idea for the A2 media coursework is to produce a promotional package for a film, including an advert, a promotional section on the frontcover of a magazine and a promotional poster. I will take inspiration from professional and well designed advertisements that can be found easily on YouTube along with examples of all the other promotional aspects of the products that need to be produced. I was initially thinking of using my AS coursework as a basis of creating my trailer as it was a horror. The horror/Conspiracy genre is easier to do than e.g. action as it does not require any explosions or special effects that cannot be created in our circumstances
