drafting and planning - colour connotations in film and what they represent

The colour connotations used in my film, poster and magazine will be: red for blood, orange for fire, black for darkness/ mystery and white for lightness and hope as it will build up hope that there is a chance for the survival of the victims. These colours combined together could create a very good contrast and generate colorful effects of darkness.

Drafting and planning - mise en scene - Hair and make up

This is a picture i have taken of the model that i will use as the main villain. As you can see i have got him to mess his hair up as this will create an effect of roughness and thus making him look more evil and demented. Furthermore, it makes it feel as if he doesn't care about looks and is only after one thing. This is the main picture that I will be using for my film magazine

Research into similar products - iconography - film awards i will use

In order to make my film poster more realistic, I will add film awards onto my poster to make it appear more professional and more successful than other films. These are the awards that I will use on my film poster.

Unfortunately these awards are listed for 2010 so I will need to edit these in order for them to be up to date (2015). Also they contain a white background which looks very artificial so I will remove the background on resources such as paint.net or page plus.

Drafting and planning - Film poster template

This is the template for my film poster. The main image is in a circle as the picture is going to be light shining on the main character creating a circular effect with the sides shadowed almost to represent how the darkness is closing in around them. Furthermore this will create a shadow on the back wall which i will be able to edit to show a shadow of the devil creating a secret message which as i stated will be one of the key dividing's between typical horror films and my horror film.
The title will then be listed below in blood to create a scarier effect.
The film awards will be there to fill in any unnecessary space.

Drafting and planning - Film resources i will use to create my film trailer

To create my film trailer I will be using various resources. one of which is movie plus X6, this will allow me to edit my film clips to ensure a good quality of continuity and add several effects to capture the emotions of the actors. Another resource i may select to use is windows 7 movie maker. This resource isn't as good a movie plus X6 but it is easier to edit as it is really basic and easy to use.

Drafting and planning - scanned drawing of Lucifer

This photo below is a drawing of a photo which i have scanned onto the computer to use on my film magazine. This is not the best quality drawing but with the use of editing tools from paint.net and page plus i can edit it and make it a perfect background image.

Organisation - shooting times

I have planned out a time in which I will gather all the raw footage for my trailer and I will also get all the photo's in which I can use for my film magazines and posters. This date will be 12th December

Drafting and planning - Inspiration for film poster

I have 2 ideas for Film posters. This film poster on the left has various elements which i want to create. My film poster will have the main actor looking at the camera (direct mode of address) with a Devil like figure over his shoulder creating an element of suspense.
The next idea i have is having the having one of the victims standing there with light beaming on him and the shadow in the background of the devil. similar to the film poster on the right.

Drafting and planning - Resources used to make magazine

One key resource i will use to make my magazine is Page plus. Page plus is a resource in which i can edit photos to my desire by adding several effects to manipulate the image.
Another resource i could use is paint.net, paint.net is another effective tool which allows me to easily crop and change images. I will predominantly be using Page plus as: Its enables me to save the image as a JPEG, allows me to use many effects and allows me to get the best quality details due to the variety of tools.
