Production Update

This past week, I have been going out on set and refilming some shots in order to insure professionalism and authenticity. Also I have now completed practically all of the filming for my production except for a few shots therefore I will have to ensure continuity within these shots that I will be filming tomorrow. Now I will be editing all the shots together and my main focus for this draft is insuring that the trailer looks how I would like it to be, therefore all of the complicated transitions that I have in mind. Also I need to create my transition effects for my opening and closing credits in order to restore professionalism within my trailer.

First Draft

This is my First draft. It is only the first 50 seconds, which is only the first half of my trailer and therefore some of the narrative is unclear. So far I have got a clear understanding through with my trailer and now I want to go forth and fully enter conventional factors of horror.

First Draft Feedback

I have now completed my first draft and shown it to my class. I have done this not only to get feedback in general but also due to the fact that the majority of my class fit the demographic of my trailer. I have been given feedback of which I will use for my next draft in order to make a fuller narrative and a more appropriately conventional trailer for my genre.

We were given constructive feedback, both positive and negative and I will use this to improve my next draft:

Positives:

•Good handheld 'rec' shots

•Title appearing randomly was good.

•Cuts on music worked well.

•Music was suitable to genre.

•Interesting titles and fonts.

•Good shot at the beginning.

•Good effects

•Good camera angles

•Good location

•Effective 'fuzz'

•Full of enigma's

•Non diegetic sound was good

•Very dramatic

•Appropriate for Target Audience

•Good reversing shot at the end.

Negatives:

•Title font needs improvement

•Title itself might not be to do with genre

•Needs more long shots to show setting more.

•Some shots need to be a bit longer.
