Trailer Movie Night
After making out trailers we invited a test panel of 50 people to view our movie trailers. Having 25 males and females between the ages of 16 and 25 meant we could get honest feedback from our target audiences.
The Advertising
To advertise our event we made a poster which included all 4 of our posters on it. This was a good way of getting people interested in taking a ticket and turning up to our event. Having all 4 of our poster on it meant that if someone was interested in 1 poster they saw all the trailers on offer so we all got feedback.
Another way to attract people was to offer free refreshments. To thank the people for coming we put out some food and drink.
Feedback
After showing both the theatrical and the teaser trailer the audience said they preferred the theatrical trailer.

Music for my Trailer
The music in my trailer is a combination of sound effects from iMovie HD and the music that I made myself using Garageband software.

The list of sound effects I used are:
- Foreboding
- Scary Accent
- Heartbeat
- Suspense
- Cold Wind
On iMovie I also recorded my voiceovers for my characters. This took several attempts to get right, but once I had got the voices correct I moved them to the right positions with ease.
Garageband
Using loops
on Garageband I managed to make my soundtrack for my trailer. I used many instruments and had them at different volume levels to get the desired gothic, supernatural effect. I had the grand piano and acoustic base as my 2 loudest instruments. This helped create my repetitive spooky tune. I wanted to make it the same throughout my trailer to show that there was always a ghostly presence. By cutting the loops to the bit of sound I wanted I then dragged them back out to get a flowing sound.

Location
All of my pictures and videos were down on Old Hunstanton beach and cliffs. The area is quite quiet and made the setting perfect for a murderer to meet someone he has lured to him.
The location is the same through poster, magazine and trailer to keep continuity.
I originally planned to do all of my filming here I stuck to what I decided to do.
Props
I intend to use a minimal amount of props.
I plan to only use 2 props in my trailer.
I will use a scarf as a prop. This prop will be used when the killer tries to grab at the girl and she runs off.
I will also use a random plank of wood. I intend to use this as a weapon in the girl’s escape.

Funny Games Analysis by MiniManJamJam
I will think about doing shots in the same way when I film my trailer. The use of text to break up clips is an idea I wish to incorporate.

My Genres
Thriller - This genre uses suspense, tension, and excitement as the main elements. The primary subgenre is psychological thrillers. After the assassination of President Kennedy, political thriller and paranoid thriller films became very popular. examples of thrillers are the films of Alfred Hitchcock.
Thrillers heavily stimulate the viewer's moods such as; a high level of anticipation, ultra-heightened expectation, uncertainty, anxiety, suspense, excitement, tension, terror. Literary devices such as red herrings and cliffhangers are used extensively. The cover-up of important information from the viewer and fight and chase scenes are common methods in all of the thriller subgenres. Each subgenre has its own characteristics and methods.
Revenge movies are also a subgenre of thriller movies and these nowadays are very popular. The Kill Bill movies are some of the most popular revenge movies around.
Fantasy - Fantasy films are films with fantastic themes, usually involving magic, supernatural events, make-believe creatures, or exotic fantasy worlds. The genre is considered to be distinct from science fiction film and horror film, although the genres do overlap. Films in this genre range from Elf to Nanny Mcphee.

Different Types of Storyboards
1. The Thumbnail storyboard - This is where you draw your storyboard all on one or two pieces of paper. For each shot in your proposed film, draw a little sketch, about the size of a postage stamp. Even if the drawings are barely legible it is ok as the point is to be able to get your ideas down on paper as quickly as possible.
2. The Floating storyboard - This is where you draw sketches of your scenes without rectangles around them, they are just floating on the page. When you're in the early stages of developing your images, this is a free-form way to work.
3. The Framed storyboard - This storyboard is where you draw your images inside of fixed rectangles. This here forces you to think carefully about how you want to compose things within the shape of the screen that your film will be displayed on.
4. The Photo storyboard - If you have some puppets and sets done, you can make your storyboard images using a digital camera. With the camera, you don't have to worry about aspect ratio as the device imposes a frame around the image.
