Today Katie and Nikki took photos of me to use for our magazine front cover, using the photo from 'The Grudge' we started to create a similar image.

Using photoshop we edited in lots of darkness around the eyes, and more hair over the face and blended it all in with a black background. We haven't finished the image yet so we will carry on with it next week and then put it into our magazine cover.

Unfortunately Jamie was not in the lesson again so we couldn't do anymore editing to the trailer

Today Me and Katie created a mock up of our magazine front cover. Using the layout and font from a previous Empire magazine for inspiration. Unfortunately we don't have our own images yet so today we improvised using another movie poster from 'The Grudge' and worked the layout of the text around this and will arrange them around our own image another day.

Nikki and Jamie were off sick today so unfortunately we couldn't complete anymore editing as Jamie has all the footage on his own external hard drive which we didn't have access to.

Jamie has been experimenting with the use of sounds to enhance the views feelings and create an eery atmosphere. He has been using synths, samples, strings and other sound effects. Nikki has been re-editing our trailer, which has involved adding in small sections and changing colours. Megan has been giving constructive criticism on both aspects of sounds and editing, her input has helping Jamie and Nikki make choices.

Today me and Katie researched into film magazines such as Empire and Total film, after getting a few magazine covers we have decided to use a similar layout to this one. We're going to change the bright colours used on this to a more dark/scary suitable colour palette for our movie.

We also liked this layout too from Total Film Magazine

Nikki and Jamie carried on today with editing the move trailer while helping with the research

This week we're creating a rough cut of our trailer, using the shots that Zack took last week. Jamie and Nikki are going to also add sound effects, music and credits to the trailer.

We're looking for conventional text used in horror movie trailers, we like the ones used the Amityville Horror Trailer (2005) and the REC Trailer

This week we got an actor  to play one of the boys in our trailer. Zack got into final 100 for the auditions for the third series of skins. He played the the character jack who gets left on his own in the woods whilst his two friends disappear. He shot himself talking into the camera and running out of the cave. We also filmed some sound effects for the trailer.

Next week were going to use these cuts and put them into our trailer.

Today as it is too cold to go outside and film we have decided as a group to stay in the lesson and look through what we have filmed, edit what we have and listen to possible music we could use.

Jamie has been editing the footage we took last week, this has included deleting, tweaking . He had some issues with the credits, as you cant move them on imovie. But he overcame this by going on imovie tutorials and achieved what we wanted.

Nikki has been researching fonts to use on our poster, 'dead babies' was a favorite of our group. She has also been listening to different types of sounds which could be included on our trailer.
