The research we have carried out supports our final

products as they fit in with the specified genre: horror.

Together, we picked out typical characteristics such as dim lighting, the use of dark colours and an image giving

an idea of the film so the audience know what to

expect.

We created our movie poster with an element of The Blair Witch Project in mind. We planned to use the idea of how

the person’s head blends into the trees

We used an image of a forest at the top of the poster and decided to blend another image over the top. This next

image blends the two victims into the trees image, which gives the impression that they’re in the woods.

We incorporated our own idea of the moon at the top of the poster shining down to reveal

the two victims in a mysterious light. This gave the poster a more uncanny and eerie

atmosphere which added to our theme of horror.

To create the magazine we took a still picture of one of the victims and featured her as the main image and story, then placed this on the front

cover which we found was often the case for existing horror film magazines and film magazines in general.

We first considered using both the victims but from research we mostly found that it is usually on individual featured on a front page. We spent time giving her a

rundown and injured look. We did this to give the impression that she had been attacked which specifies to the audience whom the film is about; also that she will

be one of the victims too. We was influenced to do this by the horror film magazine ‘Scars’ which includes a main picture of a victim or villain covered in

blood.

We took quite a lot of influence from the Evil Dead trailer, using similar camera and editing techniques.

There are repetitive flashes to black throughout the Evil Dead trailer which we took great influence in whilst making our trailer and included them in

the jump cuts of the running scene and the last shot to give the impression that someone is blinking.

Both our woods scene and running scene were partly influenced by the Evil Dead trailer as the trailer includes a scene with a girl running through the woods as the camera track along behind her, we shot similar footage but as separate scenes and using either a hand held camera or immobile

shots. Our Trailer
