Vanish front cover

Below is a prezi explaining how I have constructed my magazine front cover.

 

 

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.

and preparation for the trailer

 

 

Practice Short Film

In preparation for creating our movie trailers or short films we, in lesson time, have practised using the cameras and editing footage by filming a practice short film. In the sequence we attempted to use a range of camera shots and angles such as the extreme close up of Katie as shown below.

 

 

Extreme close up. The extreme close up can be a very effective shot within horror movies in particular as it can demonstrate to the audience the fear in a character's eyes. The shot can also be used to create tension between two or more characters in a scene.

 

The medium close up is useful to show a character's facial expressions in context to their body language.

                                                                                                               

 

      

  The low angle shot is often used to show a character as an authority figure as they are above the audience or whoever is looking up at them 

 

Close up. These are used to focus upon the character and clearly show facial expressions. They are also commonly used for reaction shots.

                                            

 

High angle shot. These are used to make a character appear to be in a position of inferiority, suggesting that they are weak or vulnerable.

 

           

 

Extreme long shot. These are usually used at the start of a film or scene as an establishing shot-to give the viewer and idea of the setting i.e. location, time of day etc. 

               

             

Camera Techniques

 The following Slideshare presentation is research into various camera shots and angles used in horror movies.

I have decided that if I chose to create a movie trailer for the task rather than a short film then I will produce one for a horror movie. I have made this decision as I feel that this genre best fits me as I enjoy watching horror films and feel that I would be capable of producing a gripping movie trailer. This is why when conducting my research into camera shots and angles used in films I have mainly focused on the horror genre. The evidence that I have found will later help me in producing my own horror movie trailer.
