Group discussion 1.

As a group we have come up with the main concept for are horror trailer, we have decided to base it on youths who have to film a horror project for there college coursework ( just like we are doing )  and on there way they encounter a killer who by the end of the trailer has managed to kidnap them all. 

We decided that we would not reveal the killers face until the end of the trailer and all killing done before hand would be implied rather then shown to generate suspense and leave the audience on and edge.

We also had a discussion on how we plan to portray the teenager playing the parts.We discusses on whether they should for fill the stereotype put on the younger generation (Unruly violent and disrespectful)  or would they be innocent and subvert this image. We still have not come to an overall decision.

Another matter we discussed was music, as shaquille is an artist and has the ability to produce beats he decided to make a track or instrumental to with the trailer, how ever this is still t be decided near the editing stage, as we also considered having a narrative voice over, but as it is a teaser trailer a voice over may not be as so affective as it is traditionally used to trailers.

We then had a look on youtube at make up tutorials so we could see what visual effect we could achieve. I will be uploading the videos we looked at in new posts on this blog. From the videos we got a general idea of how we can use make up to make are antagonist appear scary.

Another factor we have to take into consideration is who we act for are group, but as we dont no how exactly we want are characters to be portrayed we have not decided yet but hopefully this will be fine when we get around to filming.

In the discussion we also looked at how we were going to edit the teaser trailer, by looking at other trailers and music videos, we mainly talked about how we plan on using colour grading and use of transitions and sounds instead of using a lot of  irrelevant effects. 


We have finally come up with a production name , we all agreed on temper productions but decided to spell it "tempa productions" which would appeal to the teenage audience of which are teaser trailer  is aimed at.
