Our Trailer; The Outsider

Venue/Location

We filmed our trailer in multiple places within the area of Lydiate Farm Shop, surrounding the farm shop there was numerous woods and fields. In the woods there was a landscape of fields, trees, leaves, the remains of an old house which made the production fo our trailer scary and created more atmosphere within the film. There were signs saying 'Danger, falling part of houses'; this also added fear into the concept of the trailer. Peacocks were around whilst filming and created scary noises which also created impact and set the horror mood for our genre.

Actors List

For our film trailer 'The Outsider', we chose actors who would portray a good 'airy' atmosphere within the trailer. They also need to be able to act in a substantial manner to make the trailer look like a professional one. They also had to wear the right clothes that portray the correct look in the genre of the film which is horror.

Stacey is played by Melissa Heague aged 17. We chose Melissa to be the only girl in the trailer as I think she portrays a very good 'damsel in distress'. This is because in the trailer it shows her screaming, hurt and on the floor. This shows the trailer portrays could of been her blood which was on the knife that the killer who is shot wiping off the blood.

Jack is played by George Hart aged 17. We chose George to be in the trailer as I feel like he would create a good atmosphere in parts of the trailer. He is very spontaneous which would create a good impact on the trailer.

Mark is played by Philip Wade aged 18. He is both Melissa's and Jacks friend in the film. IWe chose Phil to act in this trailer as i believe that he would portray a good 'hero' and would save the girl from any trouble she would come in contact with.

Film Magazine cover. THE OUTSIDER ISSUE

For the magzazine cover i decided it was important to keep the brand image of the film consistent throughout the products and even this film magazine cover. I have kept the brand image of the film consistent as i have used the colours red, white and black which are used within the film trailer and film poster keeping the codes and conventions of the horror genre consistent. i have used the main character from the trailer who is Mellisa, this is a close up image of the character and shows her appearing as her self, not as an actor but as Mellisa. Fans will appreciate this and want to purchase the magazine to see the character as herself. I have used buzzwords such as "exclusive" which is linked to the film the outsider and shows inside the magazine will be featured articles on the outsider and an interview from the character from the film.

Film poster; THE OUTSIDER.

This is the film poster i produced for the film "the outsider". Before making the poster i researched into the marketing campaign for a horror genre and Harry Potter. This helped me with the choices i made for the poster. As i knew what to expect a horror genre movie poster to look like i took this into consideration. As you can see at the top of the poster i have added a quote which is known as a quote from a review. Posters need to show the brand image of the film. I have used the actors name, the production film company, the directors names and one of the films slogan which is featured in the trailer. All these concepts link the poster to the film and brand image is recognised by the audience. I have also used the colours, red and white with drop shadowing of the colour black. I believe this poster certainly links in with the film as the film is set in the woods. The red text shows the codes and conventions of a horror movie as the colour red associates with blood and horror. I have also shown a key point on the poster which says "31st october 2012" this is stated on the film trailer as well as, the date is then imprinted in the audience's mind and they wont forget when it comes out.

SOUNDTRACK.

VENOM- IN LEAGUE WITH SATAN.
For the soundtrack for my film trailer I used two different sound effects. The sound effects our group used were taken from the APPLE MAC.  I believe that both trailers were perfect for our film as they fit in with the genre which is horror.

At the start of our film trailer it begins with eery music represented the scary killer hiding in the woods. As it gets further into the trailer the music is then changed to a more umtempo but yet still scary song which represents the actors running for their lives. I believe both soundtracks will have the audience engaged with the film.
