Our Premier

This is a video one of my group member took whilst we had audience viewing our trailer premiere, at this day our aim was to present our audience with our finished trailer that was hopefully to their expectation. We wanted our audience to feel fear for Casey and for them to feel the attention building up throughout the trailer. 

Our target audience was 15+ this was chosen because we wanted to include some element of iconography which would be inappropriate for those under 15, also has this was a group we had easy access to. The sub-genre we intended to use was supernatural the evidence of this when Casey is facing unknown difficulties within the house such as the door slamming and her tripping down the stairs. We have also used knifes, photo and blood to convey this to our audience so that our aim of achieving supernatural sub genre is established to the audience

Films such as Annabelle, Drag me to hell and 'Paranormal Activity' have been the biggest influence for the trailer making as the elements used within these films left a significant affect on us. For example: in 'Paranormal Activity' the door slamming and the bed scene in Drag me to hell, the way in which the lighting is used in the bed scene and how she is sleeping with her partner but when she turns around she sees the old women we as a audience have been acknowledged with. These features within the film are very effective as little details leave a big impact. 

During the making we had many problems we had to overcome in order to make a well filmed trailer, the main problem we had was with audio, the soundtrack would overpower the dialogues and trying to fix that every time we added a shot became difficult as I had to change them all the time. Also

having few soundtrack in one could mean that they needed to be blended in with each other so that when one is listening they don't realise that both soundtracks are different. I used the constant blend

over the soundtrack to blend it in. Another problem we had was with lighting, to make it a horror trailer we need dull/dark lighting therefore we had to shot most scenes at night also the day time scenes had to mmuch light which mean it did not look convincing so I had to add the blue screen key on all the day scene to tone down the bright light.
