Editing Day 2

1. This is a medium shot, tracking a character (Megan) running through a forest. This shot represents what the main character is dreaming as it cuts between this shot and a tracking shot of the main character (Kate) sleeping. I added the 'Romantic' effect from the iMovie frame effects tool in order to make it look dream-like.

2. This is the opening of a different sequence. This shot is a very long shot of the main character (Kate) walking through the woods on a gloomy day. The lighting was altered post production in order to make the weather look dull to match with the genre of the film. 

3. This is a medium shot of the main character, denoting her on her phone, innocently walking through the woods from a different angle. This is a tracking shot.

4. This is a medium long shot which, again, tracks the main character. In this shot, we hear a mysteriously loud branch snap which causes the main character to turn around in shock. All of the shots in this sequence have been altered post production in order to make is appear gloomy and scary.

5. This is a medium shot of the main character in the forest, looking around her which suggesting she can hear something around her. This shot tracks around the character to make her the centre focus.

6. This is another shot used in the end of my trailer which denotes the main character running through the woods. In this shot, I altered the lighting and the colour in order to create an eerie effect.

7. This is an establishing shot  which denotes the house of the married couple (the two main characters). This shot pans from right to left in order to denote the house. The lighting and colour has been adjusted in order to make it appear late at night and to add a sinister effect to the atmosphere. I used this to transition between two different sequences.

Editing Day 1

1. This is a low angle shot of the car driving up onto the drive of the couple's new home. I edited the brightness and saturation of this shot to make it appear brighter and happier to denote the equilibrium of the storyline.

2. Again, I have edited the brightness and saturation in order to make it appear bright and sunny.

3. I edited the brightness of this shot in order to make the house appear brighter and to set a more upbeat atmosphere. This is very typical of horror film trailers as it shows the normality of their lives before the problem. 

4. Again, I altered the brightness of this shot in order to remove the dark shadowing.  I also altered the colour of this shot, making the colours stand out more prominently. 

5. In this shot I altered the brightness slightly in order to make the two characters the focal point of the shot. I wanted them to stand out against a darker background to denote the main characters. I did not need to edit these shots too much as the lighting was not much of a problem and the natural colours did not need filtering or editing.

Film Title Survey

I have created four different titles in which I would like to use as the title of my film. I have put these four titles into a list and a sample of my target audience carried out this survey in order to give their opinion on their favourite title. The results are displayed below, and shows that 'Conjecture' is the most popular film title.

1. TILL DEATH DO US PART

2. THE SECRET

3. CONJECTURE

4. THE FOREST

Poster Title Font Survey

I carried out a small survey on which font I should use for my film title. I chose four options in which my sample selected their favourite one. The bar chart displays the most popular fonts, and from this I can see that the best font is the first font.
