My Website with the embeded teaser

Coding my trailer within my website

Posters in their environment




I decided to see how my poster would look if it were to be getting advertised on a bus stop or train station using Adobe Photoshop

Teaser Trailer Final

Haunted MTF Media Teaser from St Marylebone Media Studies on Vimeo.



We edited our film after getting feedback. From 00:13 we made the clip to the correct size. Also as from looking at our feedback we found that people said we overused the effects so we decided to cut the effect down from 00:17 where we added the blink effect to Charlotte in disguise walking down the stairs. We instead used a simple light effect called strobe. Also at the end my group thought the title and dateline looked a bit blunt so we added a red/maroon outline to it to give it the deadly look

Website Final Draft



I have changed the font of my links into the font Chartrand which looked more simple and was the font of my tagline so I stuck to conventions by keeping my fonts to a minimum. I also removed the review of 5 stars and just made the heading and tagline slightly bigger.

Poster Final Draft



As you can see I spreaded out my text more upwards making sure there was no huge gap inbetween the image and text. I also moved the two distribution logos up near to the billing box making it look a whole lot neater

Feedback to our first draft teaser















From looking at the feedback most have questioned why the mask character is after the symbolic necklace which is what we wanted our audience to question. It teases them and makes them want to find out what this necklace has to do with everything which will then lead them to watch it. So we have achieved this however some have said that we over used the effects and need to work on this. Personally I thought that the title and date at the end looked a bit to the bottom and not in the middle and also that the coming soon fades in too slowly and should come out when the background music has a up beat drum. We will discuss this as a group and start editing and making changes to our first cut. Also at 00:13 the size of the clip isn't720x576 at a 16:9 aspect ratio when Louise is putting on her chain and it fades to the next clip so we will need to change this to the correct size.
From feedback our audience knew what our genre was none of them got it wrong which means we have stuck to our horror conventions.

Feedback to Poster and Website

Feedback to poster:
-all text are right at the bottom makes the image look empty make it more spread out
-put the two distribution logos more to the top and leave dreamwork at the bottom

Feedback to website:
-review of the times doesn't make sense as the movie is not out yet so remove
-the sidewalk font for the links is a bit too much doesn't look realistic make it more simple

Background music for teaser

Witches RM by Chase Plott

Music ideas

Blood Deep by sania_fatema

This is one of our music background idea we thought it sounded very eerie and built up suspense and you can tell its horror. It has high sounds with constant drumming beats which makes it more foreboding and the high pitch sounds emphasise this. However it is quite slow for our teaser trailer as our clips are fast and wouldn't go aswell and throughout it stays on the same pace.

Please Step Cautiously This Way by sania_fatema

The fuzzy sound to this creates a tension I can imagine this in a horror film with a young child as the main character as it has a lullaby feel to it at the beginning. However out of all the music ideas this is my least favourite as it doesn't go with our teaser.

The Whisperer In The Dark by sania_fatema

This starts of with a low beat and carries on for quite along time and then new sound starts to appear like a slow wind sound giving that spooky affect with high pitch noise.

Witches RM by Chase Plott

At first in the begining it sounded like the above soundtrack with the low beat and high pitch however when it got to 1 min 30 seconds it got faster and more high pitched with a eerie sound to it. I liked the fast pace as our teaser trailer is really fast and also right at the end there are low beats which can go at the end.

From all for soundtracks my group and I felt that Witches was the right sound for our teaser as it was fast pace and had a eerie/sinister atmosphere to it and built up tension whereas the others stayed at the same paced or was too slow
