Our trailer - Evaluation

After seeing our completed finished piece i feel that i have really enjoyed making this film. However there are things that i would change but also things that i liked doing.



Pro's

• I enjoyed using different software as it has better features e.g. transitions.


• The variation of shots where much better than my last film ... we used better shots that suited the film that we are doing (horror). So we used lots of close ups to show significant objects/ expressions.
  
• The location of our trailer fitted the horror genre's conventions well. We looked up different typical places of horror films and the final decision was based upon several films such as the strangers, disturbia, the Blair witch project etc
  
• The music we used fitted well by having slow paced and faced pace based upon shots. This means that in fast pace it was shown as a montage.
  
• I liked the colour red that was a similar pattern that we used throughout the whole trailer in the titles. This gave an obvious and clear generic convention of blood & death.
  
• The props we used where realistic to the setting which made it better for the audience as they could relate to this.

Con's

• Computers where very hard to use - due to being so slow


• We had to get the right timing of day to film - however we later found out that there were effects to change this


• There was limited amount of music that we could use as it was free downloads only as we couldn't use copy writted.
  
• The lighting that we used could have been improved in some parts of the film by using more candles and spot lights especially when we are outside e.g. looking at the house
