Evaluation - Fourth Draft - 1st point

For this draft, we all agreed upon changing our non-diegetic soundtrack and invent our own. Charles created a new music track using GarageBand, learned that from our observation of trailers that the tempo and pace of the music tends to generally speed up as the scary scenes progress more quickly towards the end of the trailer.
Although the music track was a first draft, it turned out well. The music fitted the change and atmosphere of the scenes that followed. It also added to the dramatic effect usually used in horror genres through the different instrumentals he selected and placed at the best places where it would make an sudden impact.

Ancillary Piece - Magazine Cover

For our magazine instead of using lots of colour to make the magazine stand out, we decided to go with one of the pictures we took and use it as the whole base for the front cover. To avoid making the colour of the text ruin the look of the magazine, we decided to use a simplsitc colour such as white.

We added various brief statements that would appear on typical magazine covers, for example, Empire, to further advertise the film and to conform to the standards of a normal magazine cover. The secondary text "HIDE AND SEEK", instead of describing the film with a lot of text, we decided to use short words for whats in store.

Title Changes

When starting our project we went for Silent Elimination as it did fit our cheesy ideas but as we progressed and started to use the name in our trailer and posters we realised it didn't fit at all so we thought up Daunting Carnage which again didn't work well so we went with a much more current name thats still quite cheesy but works...... Hide and Seek.

Our work is currently filled with all different titles.

Third Draft - Evaluation

We created an entirely new piece from the footage, we included new features :

• We added booming and heartbeat sound effects for the cinematic effect associated in horror movie trailers.
• In a private recording session, we added new voiceovers.
• A total restructure of the plot to add some clarity to the plot of the trailer becuase in earlier feedback, we recieved criticims that the plot involving the motive of the Gas Mask Killer wasn't clearly outlined in the trailer.
• We added a sequence to clear up the plot showing that the group are being picked off, a mobile phone is seen ringing close to the camera while Ade is standing in the foreground, the camera's autofocus helped greatly as it switched the focus from Ade to the phone.
• The draft is relatively rough, but we wanted to see how it worked, after showing it to our classmates it was graded at roughly a level 2/3.
