6 Souls poster

This poster hints that he has multiple personalities as there are different blurred faces which suggests different personalities. The name of this film basically tells the audience that he has different "souls". It also has the typical conventions of a horror poster as it has the dark colour palette and the red title which suggests danger. The background of this poster is a forest, this is a stereotypical location for a horror film as it is dark and isolated. It also tells the audience that is from the producers of The Ring, it has this in red as The Ring is a well known and successful film therefore it suggetss that this will also be a successful film.

Poster

This afternoon I am going to being taking photos for my poster, I am going to have Andy and Liam in the poster and I am going to try and use hints that they are the same person but I am not going to make it clear in the poster because it would ruin the actual film. I am now going to do some research on other horror posters.

Filming

Over the weekend I shot some scenes in my house whilst walking around with the camera, I filmed the ornament spinning around slowly while it played music, I also shot a scene in which I started upstairs and then the music started playing, I then slowly walk down the stairs which were creaking to make it creepier, I then faced the front door before going into the living room and seeing the ornament surrounded by candles in a dark room, this is all from the victims point of view. I also filmed from outside my house so it is the villains point of view, I filmed from the front of my house and also from the back to show that the villain has been watching her. When i filmed from the back of the house I walked towards the door and grabbed the handle, this is showing that the villain is going into the house. When i filmed from the front, the living room light turned off and I zoomed into the window, this shows that the villain is looking for any movement by the victim. I then filmed from the victims point of view again as I done a shot from inside the house, looking out the window,

Storyboarding

I have been producing a storyboard today and I have changed the order of the scenes to make the trailer easier to shoot. It will start with Liam standing at a grave, the audience wont know whose grave it is, it will then go back in time to show what has happened, this will be the scene that Olivia will get killed, however, I will not actually film it, there will be screaming and banging but I wont show it, I will film the ornament that plays music, this will hopefully make it creepy, I am going to film the ornament tonight to make sure it will be ok to use.

Insidious 2 Trailer

I would like to use the same stucture for my horror trailer as the Insidious 2 trailer. I have wanted to use a childs toy that plays music to feature in my trailer as this is a typical convention of horror and is very creepy, I dont have a toy but I have came across an ornament of a women playing the piano, this plays music and it sounds like a childs toy so I am going to use this in my trailer. I will soon go out and film the ornament as I am thinking about either using it as the first shot or using it when the victim is being killed and not actually showing the murder.

Location Scouting

I have recently been out taking photos of places which I think would be good places to shoot some of my horror trailer, I will post the photos soon. I have also found a china ornament which has music playing as it spins around, the music which it plays can be made creepy in the context it will be in and this is a typical convention of horror.
