Make-up test

As a group we did a make-up test where Jane was our model. We just wanted to test out something's to see what would work best and what wouldn't.

Oculus poster improvement

When I got some feedback I was told that for the analysis of my Oculus poster I should focus more on the shot types, layout, framing and composition. Due to this I went back and made more improvement on the analysis:

The layout of the poster is pretty simple. Everything is in the correct place in order to give a clear visual to the individuals that are looking at the poster. The title of the movie is in the bigger font as it is the most important title and this was also done in order to catch the audiences eyes and to get them interested into the film. 

The shot type used is a mid-shot. The gives great details such as, the audience is able to see the fear on the characters faces which could make them interested into the film even more. In addition to this due to the image being a mid-shot it makes the mirror bigger which could indicate that this object played a valuable role into the film. Furthermore that fact that they used a dark picture as the background make the writing on it more visual which is good for catching an individual eye.

In terms of framing, the way the poster was put together the poster is simplistic. The writing was placed either at the bottom or the top of the poster which kept the faces of the characters on there clear. If there was writing on the everywhere on the poster it would have looked messy and the audience would have not been able to have a clear visual of the main background.

Rehearsal

As a group we decided to do some rehearsals in order to see what would work and what might not work. We found out that our characters were able to play the roles well and therefore we will not have any problems when it comes to producing our real trailer

Auditions

Part of our task was to do audition in order for us to choose our characters, however because we had a specific idea of who we wanted in our trailer we decided not to have audition and choose the characters straight away. This is because:


* We chose Samantha Urry as our nurse that give Elton counseling because she has a lot of experience as in real life she is a nurse. We thought that due to her having those skills already it would be easier for us as we will not have to tell her how to act or what to say to her patient.


* Elton Urry was then chosen as our main character so the individual that has schizophrenia because he  is the same age as our target audience so he would appeal to them and furthermore he is the right age range for someone who has schizophrenia and this makes our trailer even more realistic.

* We then chose Kurt Urry as the young brother because as you can see from the surname his Elton little brother in real life and their is a relationship already built between those two so we thought that having him played the little brother in our trailer would make it easier for Elton to act just as he would in normal life. In addition to this we are trying to make our trailer as realistic as possible and having members of the family play together is a good way of doing that. This is because the audience might be able to recognize some similarities between them which could create tension as they might think that this is their normal life.


* Our last character was the clown who is played by Elton. This is because we wanted to have a sort of twisted end as our audience may not be expecting him the be the clown. It also makes the trailer even more interesting as it might raise questions among the audience such as Why did this happen? Why did he portray himself as a clown?

Logo example and ideas

This is a first example of our first logo. On here we just tried out some ideas to see how it would look like. We are still working on it an we are going to be doing some improvement on it.

This is the start of out second idea. We thought that we could use this picture and write `Scream Productions` on the band. We tried out different fonts to see which one was going to be the besrt for our second idea:

Proposial Feedback

Due to our research we found out that we need to make more research on how we are going to be marketing our trailer. As our traget audience id from the age of 18-25 we need to research how they find their trailer and where would they normally watch it. We also need to think about the structure of our trailer, and our storyboard as it might be hard to represent someone that has schizophrenia so we need to think about the different elements that we are going to be put in there in roder to give our audience an idea of whaat the story is about.

New Crew list

As a group we decided to make changes to the crew list. This is because while doing our storyboard we found out that we do not need that many people in our trailer and therefore having less people would make it easier. In addition to this we changed the role of the doctor to the role of a nurse so instead of diagnosing schizophrenic she is giving him counseling which makes it more realistic.

Nurse grey played by Samantha Urry	Gives Elton Counselling for his schizophrenia
Schizophrenic person played by Elton Urry	This is the main character, he has been having nightmares for some time now about a clown. This clown soon becomes a hallucination and tells him hes going to hurt his family and to kill the ones he loves. The bad hallucination of the clown does horrible things and hurts people around Elton little does he know the actions that the clown makes are actually being done by himself.
Younger Brother played by Kurtis Urry	Kurt is Eltons younger brother, he is close to Elton but recently Eltons actions toward Kurt seem out of character and threatening as of late
Clown Hallucination played by Elton Urry	Eltons evil hallucination
