Reconstruction

The following 'emaze' presentation goes through, in detail, the process by which I went about reconstructing my movie trailer. I t explains why I made the decisions that I have made and the impact they have had on the trailer.


 

Feedback

The following presentation consists of feedback that I gathered from peers and my teacher regarding the first draft of my Vanish movie trailer.

 



Post Production

The following PowerPoint presentation consists of all of the post production that I did regarding my trailer. It includes, in-depth, step by step detail of how I edited and constructed the movie trailer and how I have added the music to it. Within the presentation I also explain why I made the decisions that I did and whether or not I find them to be effective.

Moovly

From my research I have also found that institutional identifications are always included in movie trailers and so are a central feature.

This is clearly demonstrated with the use of the Warner Brothers logo within the Harry Potter movies, as shown below.

For this reason I needed to create my own institutional logo for my own movie trailer to display at the start of it. To do this I found a nice little website called Moovly.

Moovly allowed me to have a moving logo that fits with the theme and genre of my trailer. I specifically wanted this to move as I feel that if I were to have used a still image would have been very boring for the viewer and not look as professional.

Absence of horrors and thrillers on magazine covers

Comparison to mainstream movie magazines

 From doing research into horror movies used for magazine front covers, I have discovered that it is rare for publishers such as Total Film and Empire to go down the horror movie route.This could be due to several factors. Firstly, horror movies may not need the same promotion as other genres such as action as they may either use other methods such as TV advertising or the genre is already very popular so not as much magazine publicity is needed. Secondly, the absence could be due to the fact that horror movies are not taken seriously or are not deemed appropriate for the front cover of a magazine. This is a potential gap in the market that my magazine could fill. I will produce a magazine front cover featuring my horror movie 'Vanish' but rather than following the normal conventions of genre specific magazines such as 'Scream' I will apply the genre to a more mainstream magazine such as 'Total Film'.

  

  In addition to this I have also found that the mainstream movie magazines focus on either recent or upcoming releases as oppose to the genre specific magazine who can sometimes stray to older releases. For example on the cover of the 'Scream' magazine shown above shows the character Freddy Krueger from the film 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' which was originally released in 1984 (30 years ago).
