Video Storyboard

We have edited together a storyboard with music to give us a rough draft to work from as far as pace and layout goes

More unintentional similarities



I was just looking through Tom's blog (more specifically through his older posts) and i couldn't help but notice the ridiculous similarity of this poster with our final poster! On the bright side this poster is alot better for us than the the one for Twilight; however i have never seen this poster before, and found it ironic seeing as we were looking at the original 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' as an influence for our film. The font for '2010' is almost the exact same as ours; and the poster in general uses a similar layout and choice of colours- mental!

Overall though I find this a positive thing, as we wanted to create a similar style product within a different context as far as budget goes. I like to think it reflects on the fact that this particular layout is really popular within film at present (Y)

Different types of trailer

It came to our attention that even though we have finished our main trailer, that wasn't really the end of what we needed to do as far as video content goes. Alot of other groups in our class are doing short films or music videos, so it seems a bit unrealistic to be marked on the same level as them, when we ourselves have only 30-40 seconds of footage to show. As a result, we decided to edit the footage into several different 10 second long vignettes. These are odften known as 'TV spots' which are shown to give a taster of the film in an even smaller way than in a full trailer. We have edited one to focus around the killer, which would be more aimed at late-night television advertisements as it is used to build excitement to a more mature audience. The other is focused around the Protagonist's dilemma of not doing enough to prevent all this; which is more about the plot, so could be aimed at a wider audience at an earlier time of day. We hope this will show a bit of variety to our footage =]
