while we was creating the storyboard, we started to create a shot list of every shot in the trailer. This would then help us to have an idea of how the shot may look like before we start shooting. In each scene we describe what was going to happen ansd what type of shot we would use.

Storyboard

Here is an anamatic of the storyboard. we went through each scene and described what shots we used in the scence.

synopsis

After our initial research, we then started to create our synopsis. 'The synopsis gives the audience quick summary about the film but doesn't reveal or give away anything.

Lucy Bower is a young innocent girl on her autumn holiday from school and is enjoying herself however every evening when the sun sets her body is taken over by an evil spirit; no one understood what it was. Her father has had enough of people talking behind his back about his daughters. One night her Father comes home from work drunk, he beings to torment her and accusing her of being evil and ends up killing her. After realising what he has done he drags the body of his daughter in to Blackwood Forest and she is never seen again. She was once an innocent little girl who was murder by her father. Her life turned upside down with abuse and pain and eventually death. However this is not the end of Lucy Bower.
Year’s later locals began to hear child-like laughter coming from the forest. People where being drawn in to the forest by the sweet childish laughter thinking a child is lost and needs help. Little did they know that the spirit of Lucy dwelt in Blackwood and swore revenge on anyone who entered Blackwood Forest where she lays? Resident’s notices that many people from the community have gone missing, locals state they last saw them last entering Blackwood Forest. Search parties where sent out to find them.


Tally marks made out from blood marks where the only thing that’s left on the tree to give the people any clues to what is happening. Blackwood Forest was abandoned by the local government and no one entered it again.
This is a story of how a little girl gets her revenge and takes out her anger on her community. You might have thought Lucy Bower was a goner, well you better think again.

Group research

To create are story board and the synopsis we needed to get more in depth research of what successful horror film implemented. We thus gave each member of the group one research task to enhance our knowledge. This will then help us to create a suitable storyboard and synopsis for our horror trailer.

creating the poster

I was in charge of planning and creating the poster. In my initial research into poster, I adopted a similar style poster to the poster of The Last Exorcism.
http://www.comingsoon.net/gallery/64282/The_Last_Exorcism_6.jpg

I decided to use this as a basis because this film was a successful horror film when released. I thought that if I followed a similar style to the poster we might have similar type of response as the 'The Last Exorcism" poster creates a sense of mystery. I placed the antagonist in the middle of the poster, the reason for this is because, it would draw people into wondering why a young girl is the main character or the main attraction, it will then gain interest and sense of enigma. People would want to come and see the film into because there is no way in which the poster gives out any information about what the film is about.

Questionnaires results

This helped us to further our research. The results helped us to decide on how to make our trailer more effective and appealing to the audience.
