Slasher Animatic Draft 4

This is my fourth draft for my trailer and I have now included more titles, more songs that mix well together and also more effects on the pictures. I think that it is looking better but I need to make the trailer last up to about 3 minutes so it is like a professional trailer. I am going to try and do an animatic on the pinical software because then I will be able to add more effects like zoom and so on. This will make it look a lot better.

Final Font choice and colour

This is my font with the colour that I think that I am going to use in my movie trailer and also in my DVD cover and my poster. I like this colour of red because i think that it portrays blood more realistically then pure red does. I think that the colour of the font and the font work very well together as you can actually tell that blood is dripping from the font now where as before when the font was black it didn't look realistic and also it didn't look like blood. I think that this goes very well with the plot that I am doing but also I think that it works well with the murder weapon I am using and blood drips of a knife very easily and this shot will be the last shot of my trailer before the title comes up.

Further Clothing Ideas for my actor

In this post I am going to have ideas of what my actor is going to be wearing in my movie trailer. Throughout the trailer my actor will not change because he will be in the same clothes because he is after someone and isn't staying somewhere plus he isn't a girl who needs to change all the time.

These are the kind of clothes that I am going to get my killer to wear because I think that he needs to be in black clothing so the actresses are less likely to see him meaning he is harder to spot. I have asked my actor to wear a black hat even though he will have a hood on because if the hood comes off then you still wont see anything other than the colour black. This is the same with the shoes because you have to think about everything to make sure that it looks realistic. If I was able to get army gear/camouflage uniforms then I would put my actor in that because that would look better with the green and browns of the woods. However, these clothes will still be good and still have an effect on the audience.

Further Clothing Ideas for my actresses

From my earlier post on my clothing ideas I have thought more on what clothes my actor and actresses are going to wear and now I have got some pictures on the ideas that I have already come up with.

Actresses clothes

For the first couple of shots:

This is the kind of clothes that my actresses will be wearing when I shoot my first couple of shots of them getting ready in the bedroom and also walking down the woods and setting up the tent. This outfit will show the target audience that they are not used to the outdoor environment and what actualy clothes you are meant to wear. However, when they are packing you will see them putting wellies and tracksuits to get changed into so they know a bit of what is required when you go camping. These clothes show that they are happy and excited about going on the holiday.

Later on in the trailer

This is the kind of clothes that my actresses are going to be wearing. This is the casual look that most campers should wear. This shows that they do have some camping knowledge as they have dressed correctly to go bed or sit around the camp fire. This is the kind of clothes that my actor will wear when going to collect some firewood. I think that this outfit sums up the laziness of the camping holiday that the girls have taken.

Character Survey

I have asked my target audience who they think would be the best actor for my movie trailer and this is the response I had.

This pie chart shows that the target audience think that Chris will be the better actor. The response was clear that they liked him the best. People commented and said that Chris would be the better character because he is more board and looks like he will take it seriously but also he looks more scary and older then Tom did, as they said that Tom had a baby face and this would mean that they target audience wouldn't take it seriously as it wouldn't look professional.

My final decision is that I am going to have Chris as the killer in my trailer as I think that the would suit the role better than Tom. I have also picked him because my target audience told me that he fits the role better as he looks more serious and doesn't have a baby face like Tom.

My Choice of Actors

I am undecided on what male actor to use. This is because I don't know who will be the best for the job as I think that I need someone that looks scary but also that can act like a stalker as well by being serious and acting seriously while I am filming as I will need them to have a scary hard look about them to make the audience scared of them. With Tom I think that he is too nice looking and people won't find him scary because he has got a baby face.

My second option is Chris I feel that he could be more scary but also take it more seriously. I also think that he could act as deceiving because I think that the target audience might see him as a nice boy rather than being a killer.

To make up my mind I am going to to a vote and see who people feel will do a better job and who looks more like a killer and could take it seriously. This is because it would make it look more professional but also the target audience will have had a chance to give their opinion.

Actress Three

Leanne is my final actresses that will be appearing in my movie trailer. I have picked Leanne because I feel that she is very loving and friendly. I think that because she is loving and trustworthy that the audience will feel for her. Leanne will be my main actress in the movie trailer as I feel that she can be very deceiving to the audience so the audience wouldn't know what the twist will be in my movie trailer. I also think that with her being the same age as my target audience they will be more interested in seeing the film.
