Modifcation To Film magazine Front Cover

I modified the main image of my front cover film magazine featuring my film, from the same one as the poster to a extreme close up of Emily (the young girl who is murdered). I done this as i believe the other image was too similar and people may not find it as effect on both the poster and the magazine front cover. I do however believe this image instead is much more effect as it gives an insight into the pain Emily constantly feels throughout her life. I ike the black and white effect as it matches my colour scheme but also adds effect as it is unusual for a black and white image to be on a front cover however in these circumstances i do believe it is the most effect as she has no happiness left in her, relating to the film plot itself.

Video Shooting

Firstly my plan is for the trailer to start in a point of view, pan shot of a ticking clock following on to a teddy bear, newspaper and photos of the two young girls looking happy, showing to the audience something has happened to the pair, creating tension. Suddenly their is a jump cut to the young girl running off into darkness, a gloomy forest which creates suspense for the audience as they're unaware of why she is doing this but also what is about to happen to her, it is foreshadowing without giving the plot away fully, this will be filmed in an extreme long shot high angle to show she has little or no authority to her murdered. Another jump cut occurs to when a man, who they will later find out is her drunken father, shouting and screaming at her, again the audience is left puzzled as they don't have an idea on to why he is shouting. this scene will be filmed through the young girls eye, looking up to her father to hopefully make the audience feel in suspense and as if the father is shouting directly at them, making them feel how she must have felt, helping them connect more to the trailer itself. The scene shows the young girl against the wall hysterical because of her father actions of hitting her, it will shot in an extreme close up of her crying to show her emotion and make the audience sympathises with her. The screen will slowly fade into credits reading 'This Summer, Were fact... Becomes Reality, Based on a true story' is shown this will encourage the tension and make the viewer want to get the full experience by visiting the cinema and watching the film. An unexpected scene is presented upon the screen showing the young girl's best friend hugging her mother after she's just been told Emily (the young girl) has passed away in a mysterious death, relating back to the scene of her running into the dark, gloomy forest, this shot will be filmed at a long, high angle shot, as if Emily is looking down, watching her best friend. The next scene will be of her best friend at Emily's grave crying and upset to suddenly were the camera zooms into a close up shot of the best friends face to show her reaction of Emily trying to contact her for help of her killer so she can get justice. Suddenly a black screen appears and the writing 'COMING SOON, 2013 IN THEATRES THIS SUMMER' fades onto the screen.

Locations;
The first significant location will be the house to were Emily lives/ed, it will be a place the audience is able to connect with as it is overly realistic and normal to what they're usually used to, so they're able to connect to the trailer itself, but also will Emily the main character because of this particular scenery. It will be mainly filmed in dim light as it isn't a warming place to be in, also she gets abused by her father in this location and it creates tension for the audience as they know she feels extremely isolated hear.
The next significant place to feature within my thriller film trailer will be the forest, as it doesn't occur for long, however it has a significant part as this is were the main part of the story occurs as she is believed to have been murdered hear, and this sets the scene for the whole of the film. It will be filmed at night to create more suspense for the audience as the majority of bad situations occur at night in thriller/horror films. It is a place the audience are able to easily relate to as everyone is familiar with a forest.
The next important location of my film trailer is the grave yard as this is the first place Emily's best friend hears her seeking for help to find justice and finally rest in peace. Everyone is overly familiar with a grave yard somehow, again helping them connect to the film and make it feel more realistic for them in some way, both good and bad. This scene will be filmed round about tea time so the lighting is rather dark but there is still a light present to highlight the best friend at Emily's grave. Also this is ironic as it will signify to the viewer that something is likely to occur, but not give a clue of what it is.

Characters;
The main character of my film trailer is Emily, she will be a teenage girl who has had a rough childhood by being abused by her father and having no friends through all her school life. However she is an intelligent, polite girl. She finally makes friend with a girl and they become best friends until she is mysteriously murdered after running into the dark forest at night. However we as the viewer are unaware of who her murderer is. At the start of the trailer she will be wearing normal clean clothes that by the end, end up looking rough, raggy and dirty after being murdered. i will do this by covering them in mud and slightly ripping them, to show the audience she put up a fight from her murderer.
The next important character is Emily's best friend, she is the helper, as she helps Emily find justice from her murderer and finally rest in peace. she was always the popular girl throughout school and Emily was always jealous of her, as she was beautiful and everyone loved her. She tries her best to help her loyal best friend. throughout the trailer she will always be dressed nicely and clean.
The last character featuring within my film trailer is Emily's father, he is a drunk, abusive father who constantly mentally and physically abuses Emily. He has a rough, look to support his character role of being an alcoholic and having a nasty personality.
I personally believe the audience are able to relate to at least one of the main character within my thriller, film trailer as there is various stereotypes presented. This is important as if they feel like they're able to connect with various characters it will encourage them to come and watch the film at the cinema.


Schedule; 
I am hopefully going to start doing parts of the shoot as soon as possible, doing little bits at a time, but also testing various angles out and setting to find the best and most effect. I will hopefully have the whole thing shot in two weeks to give me time to experiment with various similar locations, angles, times of day, lighting etc.

FLATPLAN - MAGAZINE

I CREATED A FLAT PLAN FOR MY FRON COVER OF A MAGAZINE FEATURING MY FILM 'HEAR MY CRY'. FIRSTLY I USED A WELL-KNOWN MAGAZINE COMPANY 'TOTAL FILM', I PLACED THE IMAGE OF THE YOUNG GIRL SLIGHTLY OVER THE TITLE AS THEY OFTEN DO WITHIN SOME OF THEIR MAGAZINES THEY CREATE. THE ISSUE DATE AND PRICE IS UNDER THE TITLE JUST LIKE IN A NORMAL MAGAZINE TO MAKE IT MORE PROFESSIONAL. A CIRCULAR SYMBOL WILL BE PRESENT NEAR THE TOP RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE PAGE TO SHOW AN IMPORTANT ARTICLE WHICH FEATURES WITHIN THE MAGAZINE. ALL OF THE HEADLINES 'EXTRA, FIRST LOOKS AND REVIEWS' WILL BE IN ROCKWELL - BOLD (WHITE) TO MAKE THEM STAND OUT WITH ON THE PAGE. ALSO THE FIRST AND THIRD LINES UNDERNEATH THE HEADINGS WILL BE IN RED, ROCKWELL AND LASTLY THE SECOND LINE UNDERNEATH THE HEADINGS WILL BE IN WHITE, ROCKWELL. TO FOLLOW ALONG WITH THE COLOUR SCHEME AND KEEP IT CONSISTENT THROUGHOUT THE POSTERS AND MAGAZINE ETC, THEREFORE RESULTING IN THE AUDIENCE BEING ABLE TO EASILY RECOGNISE MY FILM BY IMAGES AND COLOUR SCHEME. AGAIN A DARK, GLOOMY BACKGROUND IS PRESENT TO CREATE SUSPENSE AND TENSION FOR THE AUDIENCE WHEN VIEWING THE FRON COVER OF THE MAGAZINE. THE TAG LINE AND SLOGAN ARE TO GIVE HINTS AT HOW GOOD THE FILM IS GOING TO BE HOPEFULLY MAKING VIEWERS WANT TO GET THE FULL EXPERIENCE BY VISITING THE CINEMA AND WATCHING MY FILM, RESULTING IN ME GAINING PROFIT.

Flatplan - Poster

I CREATED A FLAT PLAN FOR MY POSTER TO HELP ME IMAGINE THE FINAL PRODUCT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. AS DESCRIBED ON THE PAPER I HAVE STARS PRESENT AT THE TOP RIGHT AND LEFT HAND SIZE OF THE PAGE, IN WHITE, FONT STYLE OF ARIAL SO IT IS SIMPLE AND EASY TO READ. BLOOD SPOTS APPEARS FROM THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE PAGE IN A DARK FAINT RED SO THEY ARE VISABLE BUT IN A MYSTERIOUS MANNER. I DECIDED TO USE A DARK, GLOOMY BACKGROUND TO CREATE AN EERY ATMOSPHERE FOR THE AUDIENCE WHEN VIEWING MY POSTER OF THE FILM I WILL CREATE. A MEDIUM POINT OF VIEW SHOT OF THE YOUNG GIRL WILL BE USED AS THE MAIN ASPECT OF THE POSTER, SO PEOPLE CAN RELATE AND RECOGNISE THE MAIN CHARACTER WITHIN THE FILM ITSELF. IT IS A POINT OF VIEW SHOT SO THE VIEWER FEEL LIKE THEY'RE LOOKING DIRECTLY TO HER WHIHC WILL HOPEFULLY CREATE SUSPENSE. THE TITLE 'HEAR MY CRY' IS RATHER SMALL AT NEAR THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE, IN A HAND-WRITTEN FONT TO MAKE IT LOOK DISTINCTIVE FROM OTHER VARIOUS SIMPLE POSTERS IN THE MEDIA INDUSTRY. THE COLOUR SCHEME OF MY WHOLE POSTER WILL BED BLACK, RED AND WHITE, WHICH RELATES TO A HORROR/THRILLER THEME. THE TAG LINE WILL BE IN WHITE, ARIAL - BOLD TO MAKE IT STAND OUT AND GIVE THE VIEWER A HINT TO WHAT MAY OCCUR WITHIN THE FILM ITSELF. LASTLY THE CREDITS ARE IN WHITE AT THE THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE AS THEY ARE IMPORTANT BUT NOT THE MAIN ASPECT THAT APPEARS ON THE PAGE TO THE VIEWER FIRST.

Front Cover, Magazine

THIS IS MY FINAL PRODUCT OF MY FRON COVER OF A FILM MAGAZINE FEATURING MY FILM, CALLED 'HEAR MY CRY'. I USED A WELL-KNOWN FILM MAGAZINE COMPANY, 'TOTAL FILM' SO THE TARGET AUDIENCE ARE ABLE TO RECOGNISE THE MAGAZINE. I HAD A DARK BACKGROUND OF BLACK TO CREATE TENSION FOR THE VIEWER AS THE GENRE OF MY FILM IS THRILLER/HORROR. I USED THE SAME IMAGE SHOT AS I DID ON MY POSTER TO HELP THE AUDIENCE RELATE AND CONNECT WITH MY FILM, THE SHOT IS A MEDIUM POINT OF VIEW, SO THE AUDIENCE FEEL LIKE THEY'RE DIRECTLY LOOKING AT THE YOUNG GIRL. sHE HAS DARK MAKEUP TO CREATE A ROUGH, DIRTY LOOK LIKE SHE HAS BEEN IN A PARTICULAR SITUATION. A SYMBOL IS PRESENT NEAR THE TOP RIGHT HAND CORNER CONTAINING A MAIN ASPECT THAT IS PRESENT WITHIN THE MAGAZINE TO HOPEFULLY AGAIN, HELP VIEWERS WANT TO BUY THE MAGAZINE. ALL THE HEADLINES 'EXTRA!', 'FIRST LOOKS' AND 'REVIEW' ARE IN ROCKWELL-BOLD TO STAND OUT THE MOST AND SHOW WHAT ELSE OCCURS WITHIN THE MAGAZINE.  THE COLOUR SCHEME OF MY MAGAZINE FRONT COVER IS MAINLY WHITE, RED AND BLACK TO CREATE AN EERY ATMOSPHERE BUT ALSO A PROFESSIONAL MANNOR FOR THE AUDIENCE TO RECOGNISE EASILY AND BECOME FAMILIAR WITH. THE TITLE OF MY FILM 'HEAR MY CRY' IS JUST BELOW THE MIDDLE OF THE PAGE TO RESEMBLE THE YOUNG GIRL IN THE FILM HERSELF, NEEDS AND SEEKS HELP AND IS SHOUTING FOR SOMEONE TO HELP HELP BUT NOT MANY PEOPLE MAY SEE OR HEAR HER. THE 'WORLD EXCLUSIVE' JUST ABOVE THE MAIN TITLE SHOWS THAT THE FILM ITSELF IS GOING TO BE BIG AND THAT HOPEFULLY IT WILL MAKE VIEWERS WANT TO GET THE FULL EXPERIENCE BY VISITING THE CINEMA AND VIEWING THIS SPECIFIC FILM. THE TAGLINE OF 'A DECADE IN THE MAKING' SYMBOLISES THAT A LOT OF WORK HAS BEEN PUT INTO MAKING THIS PARTICULAR FILM AND IS LIKELY TO PAY OFF AND BE HUGE WITHIN THE FILM INDUSTRY, SUPPORTED BY THE SLOGAN 'THE WORLDS GREATEST MOVIE HAS FINALLY ARRIVED'.
