Film title ideas

We know what the title of the film was going to be so all we needed to do is pick how we was going to present it. We didn’t know what background we wanted it to be on. We thought black, but as the drips were black we couldn’t use a black background as you wouldn’t of been able to see it and it would of talen the effect away. We though maybe a red one, the thighf of blood came into mind but when we thought about it like that we thought ohh wait make the most important letter in the title red to make it stand out. So we was left with very little options.

 These are just some of the many different style of shading that we are considering on using. I feel that these are the most effective ones out of all the ones that we took due to the fact that these are the most mysterious looking ones out of them all.

Questionnaire

For the questionnaire we handed it out to around 15-20 people and had them fill out what they thought would be the best ideas for the trailer, as we wanted the audience to have a say in what the trailer was going to be about as a whole, as they are going to be the once that are going to be watching it.

for the title the one that was put down most was Smile and when we asked why they said that it was an unusual and unique name for a horror film as when you think of the word smile you think of something happy not something scary.

for the second question er got a mixed opinion there was two that the put down and it was a park and school, when we asked why we got a straight forward answer, a park is where you see kids smiling. A school is just a typical but unusual place to film a horror film. but for this one we decided to go for the park.

for the third question the most picked answer was just about the characters, when we asked why they responded with, so as a young audience we want to watch films that we can relate to the most and fining out if we do in the trailer will make us want to go and watch the film.

as for the fourth question the trailer is mainly for the 16-18 range so we handed it out to them as thats who we want it to appeal to the most.

for the fifth one we got a fifty fifty as we anted to know both genders opinions and to find out how we can mix what they both like together into one trailer.

when it came to music it was a mixed opinion as they put down another option which was both, this was interesting so i was intrigued to ask why, their response was as simple as a mixture of music will help set the scene a little better.

for the last of the questions the most popular ones was action/adventure and horror/thriller.

jumanji 2

A camera shot that i think is really effective is a point of view shot, we are shown what one of the main characters can see as he is falling out of the sky. This makes the audience feel like they are part of the film as they have seen what a part of the film is like through the life of one of the characters. The pace of editing for this trailer is quite fast this is effective because its allowing the audience to know that there is going to be something heart racing and dangerous in the film.
In the trailer the first thing you hear is how they have managed to be together in a group, this is good as they have such a different characteristics it helps the audience to understand why and how they have come together. In the beginning of the trailer they all have their unique way dressing you have the jock, the popular girl, the quiet in the background girl and the germaphobia, as the trailer goes on and they get sucked into the game they all switch roles in a way, so they all learn a lesson and learns how they all live everyday.
By the trailer we find out that the story line of the film is that there is a group of kids that don't know each other and wouldn't talk to them if they passed in the corridor all go on a adventure to get back home and become friends along the way. In the trailer we find out that the genre of the film is going to be action due to the explosions and fighting in it, then also adventure due to the fact that they go on an adventure in a jungle.

The camera shot that I think is most effective as it makes the audience start to think about why is the medium shot of the young boy riding on his bike somewhere with a space helmet on. Another camera shot that I think was most effective in the trailer was the two shot off the two boys playing, this is effective because it makes the audience really sympathetic towards him. The pace of editing in the trailer is a steady pace cutting from scene to scene, this is effective because it lets the audience know that it's going to be a happy film we are able to tell this as the pace of cutting is fast enough it's allowing us as the audience to see all of the happy parts of the film making them want to watch it.
Sound is used in a sad manner at the begging of the trailer. At the beginning the music is slow and quiet and which makes the audience want to know what's going on and why the boy is so sad. Part way through the trailer the music starts to get faster and more up beat this suggests that everything is going to start looking up for him. The costumes make them look like they are everyday people they have dressed the main character up just like the rest of the students, this is effective because although he may look different he is still very much the same. Towards the end of the trailer you see everyone dressing up for Halloween, this is effective because at the beginning we are shown him riding his bike with an astronaut helmet on and for the dress up day at the school they've dressed him up in an astronaut costume, this represents a form of mystery on why he loves that costume so much. This makes the audience want to know why.
By the trailer we find out that the storyline is about a boy feeling left out and is scared of going to school for the first time because he looks different, this can really connect with some of the audience with wanting to feel invisible and hating being so different. By the trailer we find out that the film is going to be a drama because of the amount of chaos that is going on and the amount of disappointment shown in the boys facial expressions.
The titles in the trailer are used in a vey clever way, they used a green chalk board with a white chalk writing, this is effective because it lets the audience know that the film is set in a school.

a bad mums christmas

A bad mums christmas

In this trailer the camera shot that I find most effective is a long shot of a family around the Christmas tree decorating i. It's effective because it shows a normal family enjoying the Christmas magic. Another camera shot that I think is relatively good is a medium shot of one of the Mum carrying loads of press ta piled up one on top of each other, this is effective because it allows the audience to see a parent struggling, it makes the audience think that she is just like everyone else in the world. The pace of editing isn't slow but it also isn't fast, it allows you to see just the right amount of the scene this is effective because it allows the audience to understand what the film is about.

In the trailer sound is used in a clever way by using a Christmas song it sets the scene as a Christmas film, it's quite enough so you can hear the main character talking about everything the holiday is about. When the music drps it's clear that something bad is about to happen, this is effective because it makes the audience want to know what's going to happen.

The characters clothing was a everyday mums clothing which made the character more believable, this is effective as it helps all parents watching connect with the actors playing the characters. When the parents of the main characters turned up the was all dressed up in classy clothing. 

From the trailer we are able to tell that the storyline of the film is it's based around a group of mums trying to make it through Christmas but then their mums turn up to make their lives ten times more difficult. We can tell that the genre of the film is going to be a comedy due to the fact of the kids joking around and doing stupid things and by the parents reaction to everyone's comments.

the foreigner

The Foreigner

The camera shot that I think was most effective was when the main charecter was lying on the floor hiding in the grass with cuts all over his face, we are shown this throw a close up, this is effective because it allows the audience to be able to see all of the facial expression he was showing (the main facial expressions he was showing was a scared and panicked this is effective because it makes the audience want to know why he is feel and doing what he's doing. The pace of editing is fast , his is effective because it shows us that there is something dangerous going on as it quickly cuts from scene to scene dramatically using a fade out to black at each edit.
In the trailer sound is used effectively, the music that is used is an fast dramatic music this is hinting something dangerous going to happen, this is effective because it makes the audience feel like they want to know why. The main character is dressed in old clothing which makes the audience feel bad for him and which makes them want to know how he has ended up how he has.
By the trailer we can tell the storyline is about someone he cares about being in danger and him wanting to save who ever it is, this is effective because it makes the audience think about what kind of danger they are in. By the trailer we can tell that the genre of the film is going to be crime and drama.

Gifted

Gifted 

The camera shot that I find most effective is the one where the little girl and her uncle are on a boat we are shown this through a medium shot, this is effective because it shows the two main characters, thus allows us to know who the focus of the film is going to be about. It also allows us to see them going on one of what could be many adventures together. The pace of editing is actually quite slow this is effective because it allows the audience know that the film could be a little sad and dramatic. 

In the trailer there is a quiet guitar playing in the background just loud enough so that you can hear it with people talking over the top of it. In the trailer the main characters are wearing subtle clothing, the career is wearing what looks like old clothing that he has had for a while and the young girl is wearing all new things this is effective because it shows the audience that the career is willing to have nothing but for the little girl to have all new things, this makes the audience feel more like he is an everyday person that loves their kids. 

We found out that the storyline of the film is a girl that is so incredibly smart, she has lost her Mum and wants to continue living with her uncle, and is at risk of being taken away to live somewhere else, this is effective because it makes the audience want to go and see the movie to see what happened to the Mum and happens to the girl and who she ends up living with. 

We think at the film is going to be a family film at the beginning as we are shown a little family happy and we are thought that they might just go into an adventure, but it turns out that the film is a drama, this makes the audience want to go and watch the film to seee what dramas might occur and why it's a genre of its kind.

Pitch Perfect 3

Pitch Perfect 3

The camera shots that I find most effective is when two of the main characters are on a plan and it shows a two shot of them both wearing skydiving gear, this is effective because it makes the audience want to know why thy jumped out of the plane. The pace of editing is fast at parts of the trailer which is really effective because it gives us a chance to see a little more of the film which draws us as the audience in a little more, at the beginning the pace of editing wasn't fast but at the same time it wasn't slow this is effective because it allows the audience to really think about where they all are in life and what and why they are the first people shown in the trailer.
In this trailer there isn't really any music it's more of people talking about what's happening, this is effective because it's giving the audience more of an idea of what's going on in the trailer and what is going to be the main storyline in the film. The characters are dressed in a evryday kind of dress, this makes them look like everyone else of the street so they don't stand out much but yet they do, this is effective because it makes the audience feel like they sad just everyday people.
By the trailer we find out that the storyline of the film is going to be about a group of girls  conquering the big scary world all alone but still wanting to do what they love most in life.

Perfect Sisters

Perfect Sisters 

In the trailer for perfect sisters the camera shot that I find most effective to it is the close up of one of the main character leaning against the car with her headphones on, we can tell by her facial expressions that she isn't happy with moving (we can tell this due to the medium shot of the car and the truck on the back) this is effective because it's letting the audience know that maybe she's not 100%happy with what's happening. The pase of editing in the trailer is fast this makes the audience think that the family wanted to settle in and make the place their home quickly.
In the trailer you are able to hear some quiet music in the background, but you are also able to hear all of the traffic, wind and just in general everyday things. This is effective because it makes us as the audience feel like its a normal day but also make us feel like something big is happening, which makes the audience want to know what that is, this is going to encourage the audience to go and see the film. MES is used in used in a very smart way in the trainer, as the two main characters are wearing totally different style outfits but they couldn't be more a like.
We find out that the storyline of the film is that the kids have had enough of their mum and wants to do something about it, towards the end of the trailer we find out that they want to kill their mother, we find out about this because one of their friends are typing it on a computer and it shows us what it is she's typing. This is effective because it makes the audience think are they going to go through with it or are they going to find another way to help their mum.
In the trailer we are shown what the storyline of the film is going to be about by seeing someone typing and it coming up in front of the computer as she types it, in a white sharp font. At the beginning of the film we think that its going to be a happy family film but then something happens to change our minds from a family film to a crime/drama. This is effective because it makes the audience want to know what the film will actually end being.

transformers the last knight

transformers the last knight

In the Poster they use a long- medium shot, this is effective because it allows the audience to see two of the main characters in the film, this makes the audience curious and want to find out about what these robots are and if they are good or evil. Also by using a low camera angle it is showing the audience a little bit of the surrounding suggesting that they have been in a war, which makes the audience this who was they fighting. 

The colours of the robots are bright and kind colours suggesting that they are heroic and kind robots. By the poster we can tell the story-line is going to be about the two robots maybe saving someone and or the world. The title is in silver capitals, they have a metal type of look giving us another clue that robots are the main characters. We know that the genre of the film might be action due to the fact of the pose of the robots and the surroundings.

Happy Death Day

Happy Death Day

17 seconds- 27 seconds

One of the camera shots that I thought was the most effective is when we are shown what she is seeing from behind her this is effective because its showing us where she is going and where she has been. This sets the scene of where she is, its showing us that she is out side the front of a college, this shows that the film is targeting at the late teens- young adult crowed. The music in this part of the clip is young and up beat, this is effective because its drawing in the younger crowed by playing the type of music that the listen to. In this section of the clip they have used slow editing to show that everything is all calm and that something bad might happen as everything is all calm and laid-back and so something has to go wrong to make the film more interesting for the viewers. There outfits are styled too look young and make everything seem so much more laid-back, this is effective because it helps the audience connect  with the characters. At this point in the trailer we find out that the story-line of the film is that it is going to be set in a college and the two main characters are the boy and the girl that was shown at the very beginning. At this point we are unable to tell what genre the film is going to be as there isn't much that is being given away.

36 seconds- 46 seconds

The most effective camera shot in this part in the medium shot at the beginning where she is looking in the mirror and all you can see it the top of someones head, this is effective because its setting a tension in the trailer and makes the audience think who is this person and what is he doing. In the 10 seconds sound is used to create an atmosphere as the music goes from up beat to a single high pitched note. The pace of editing in this part is quick from a medium shot of the female character looking in the mirror to a close up of the person in a mask, this is used to create tension. As, in the beginning the pace of editing is slow, as it gets quicker its suggesting a panic in the character. The person spooky character is wearing a mask suggesting that he/she is going to be trouble as they don't want anybody to know who they are. The female character is wearing a dress, this shows that they are at a party and is having fun. At this point in the trailer we find-out that the film is going to be about a college student and someone that is starting trouble. At this point in the trailer we find out that the film is a horror as we are spooked about the man in the mask. 

1 minute 27 seconds- 1 minute 38 seconds

The camera shot that i think is most effective in this part is when they use a low angle shot, this shows that the main female character is vulnerable and weak, this is effective because it makes the audience feel sympathetic for the main character. Sound is used in this part of the trailer is really effective because using a slow low note its suggesting that there is danger and that she is in trouble. What is also effective is how we are able to hear the main male character talking and explaining what is going on so its giving the audience more of a clear idea on what is going to happen in the film. The pace of editing in at this point in the trailer is fast pace editing this is effective because its setting the scene as a jumpy scary film and its also kind of telling us that the main female character is in a panic about what is going on. By this point we find out that the story-line is going to be a college girl trying everything to save her own life. We also know for certain that the genre of the film is going to be a horror/ thriller.

kidnap

Kidnap

24 seconds - 32 seconds
One of the camera shots that i thought was most effective is at the beginning when the mum finds her sons toy on the bench in the park it slowly zooms in and around, this builds tension to then show a close up of the mums face when she panics, this is effective because it makes the audience feel sympathetic towards her. The music in this scene helps build the tension as they use a low note that makes the scene feel really on edge. The pace of editing at this part of the trailer is slow, this gives the audience time to think about all of the possibilities of what has happened to the boy. In this scene the mum is wearing summery clothing which suggests that it is a nice day, the clothing that she is wearing makes her look like a normal mum on a normal day, this is effective because it helps the audience click with the character because it makes them feel like shes one of them. In the opening we are told that the film is about a mum and her son enjoying their day out at the park. In the beginning of the trailer we aren't really told much about what the genre of the film is going to be.

45 seconds - 52 seconds
The next camera shot that is really effective is when her son is being dragged into a car and the camera is zoomed into the mums eyes and you are able to see the panic in her eyes, this is effective because it tells the audience what she is feeling in that specific moment. In this part of the trailer sound is used effectively as the music is really fast and at a low note and as everything goes blank the music comes to a stop, this is effective because it feels like the music is relating to her life in a way because as her son is her world and he is being taken her world comes to a stop at that moment. At this point in the trailer the pace starts to get fast, this is effective because it makes the tension of the film build up more than the beginning. At this point in the trailer we are told that the story-line of the film is going to be about the son being kidnapped, this makes the audience want to watch the film to see what is going to happen to the little boy. We are now able to tell that one of the genres of the film might be a thriller, we are able to tell this because of the sound that is used and what is going on in the scene.

1 minute 12 seconds - 1 minute 17 seconds
The camera shot that is most effective in this part of the trailer is the close up of the mum screaming at the police officer saying "help me they have my son", this is effective because it shows the worry in her face and the desperation of help she needs to get her son back. The sound in this part of the film is effective because its a fast pace loud music suggesting that the everything is extremely panicked. The pace of editing is fast as the man that has stolen her son crashes the police officer into her car, for it to then quickly cut to a close up of the mums shocked face as she realizes that the man that has stolen her son will kill anyone and will do anything to get away and not get caught. At this point in the film we find out that the film is going to be about the mum going after her son to try to get him back, this is effective because it makes the audience want to know what she does to get him back and and if she gets him back at the end of the film. We now know that the film is going to be a
