Slogan.

After some feedback from my titles I have decided that my title of 'Not Even The Innocent Are Safe' would be better as a slogan rather than a title, I also tested a few other slogans just incase other people felt that they were stronger than 'not even the innocent are safe'.

1. Not even the innocent are safe.
2. Yesterday was your last day alive.
3. Welcome to hell.

To decide on which slogan to have I carried out some feedback from different people, I already know my favourite slogan and I want to see if anyone else agrees.

Becky Mahan
I really like number 1 because I think that it links in well with the genre that he has chosen. I think that it is short and snappy and will catch the audiences eyes well if the colour and font are chosen well.

Nick
Number 1 is by far my favourite as it sounds a very good slogan, it is catchy and it links to the theme of the film.

Ben
The first of the slogans is my favourite because it supports the the title and the genre of the film, my least favourite is Welcome To Hell, for the simple reason that it seems a bit simple and doesn't relate to the film as well as the others.

Overall I asked 15 people to rate my slogans and placed the results in the table shown below.

Movie Titles.

1. Forelock.
2. Slaughter Town.
3. Not Even The Innocent Are Safe.
4. Corrupt.
5. Vice.

These are the 5 titles that I have chosen and will now conduct feedback to find which is the most popular name.

Becky Mahan
I like number 2 the best because i think that it represents the genre very well. I also think that it is the best one out of the 5 because it sounds mysterious and intriguing. I don't like number 5 because I don't think it fits with the genre.

Nick
My favourite is number 5 because it sounds like a horror film and the name is quite catchy, I also like number 3 as it also sounds catchy, my least favourite is number 2 because it doesn't sound authentic.

Ben
I like number 1, 4 and 5 equally, simply because they are one word, which will appeal to the audience. Number 3 is also good but it sounds more like a slogan or a catchphrase rather than a title for a film, my least favourite is Slaughter town because it sounds a bit childish.

Overall I asked 15 people of their opinions and placed the results in a table.

Ideas For Magazine Cover

I want my magazine cover to be quite conventional, this is because the conventional layouts obviously work as many magazine companies have been successful such as Empire. I will also try and use one main image so it links to my poster and again I think this style is the most successful, however it will be lighter than my poster as it needs to attract the audience. Overall I will try and mix different ideas from exsisting magazine covers and put them into mine, this is because I know these ideas work and I dont want to just use one design as that would be copying.

Ideas For Poster

I want my poster to be quite dark as a whole, this is so it links to the theme of horror well and will make it look professional. I will also want to use one main image that stands out, this is so it catches the attention of the audience, and make them want to watch the film, which is the main aim of the poster. I will also include the actors names on the poster, again this could influence my target market in watching the film itself. I also want my trailer to represent my film and tell a stroy in itself again to send a message to the audience.

Ideas For Trailer

From the film trailers that I have looked at I have seen many different techniques that I could use in my own trailer, the main one being the writing, (the narrative) that almost splits up the scenes and creates a sense of fear. This is something that I will try and duplicate in my own work. Another technique that Imay use is that of the flickering images at the end of the trailer to enhance the tempo and again create a sense of fear. Looking at these trailers has given me different options that I could use to improve my trailer.

Paranormal Activity Trailer.

This is the Paranormal Activity trailer, I have used this because of the different effects within the trailer. The thing that I like most about this trailer is the way that it creates a sense of fear easily. The other key technique used in the this trailer is the fact that it is constantly dark, at no point is there any sign of lightness, which really gives the viewer a sense of the film and of the horror. Again like most trailers it uses a mixture of quick and longer cuts, which suits the genre perfectly.

28 Days Later Trailer.

This trailer also shows different techniques that I could use in my trailer. One of the things I really like about this trailer is that of the fonts. I like the amount of times the font is used at the start of the trailer and the effect it has. This technique is one that I will try and use in my own trailer because it emphasizes the theme of horror for the trailer. I also like the use of quick and long cuts and how they are both used equally, they both have great effects and create the sense of horror.

Wolf Creek Trailer.

This is one of the trailers from the film 'Wolf Creek', which is a horror film. I chose to analyse this film because of the different and interesting techniques used in the trailer throughout. The first technique that I may try and duplicate is that of the switch of themes, the first half of the trailer was happy and relaxed, with the sun out and people having a good time, but as soon as it becomes night it all changes showing a quick change of the theme. I like this effect as it shows contrast which I want in my trailer. Another technique I liked was towards the end when the scenes moved much quicker than at the start, showing that they are in great danger and are scared for their lives, this is shown by the frantic soundtrack (compared to the quite, peaceful soundtrack at the start) and the transition of the trailer. Again this is a technique I would use in the second half of the trailer to again show that there are two sides to the film. At the end of the trailer the title of the film comes up, and just after that it shows a slogan and one more clip, this will be very similar to my ending as I think it is really effective to leave the audience clipped to the trailer with a slogan that will shock them, as it does it this trailer.
