Clips.

This video is 3 different clips I have edited together to show what didn't work with a shoot. The first 2 shots are a high angled image of a tree. I used a tree as I thought that it showed vunrability because it was on its own. Both shots were too dark which made it hard to use in my video because of this I had to retake the shots and the new shot was the one I used in my film trailer. The tree's in my opinion are a typical convention of horror movie trailers that have a sub genre of action. Action usually means outdoors so showing the tree's is showing nature/outdoors. The second tree shot was still dark however I also didn't use this clip as you could see the outline of the lamp-post behind it which meant it wasn't so isolated as I wanted it to be. The 3rd peice of footage I shot was in a garage and I shot the window. I wanted to show this as I wanted to establish the setting I was in. I also panned the camera when filming this shot but I didn't think it worked aswell as I thought it would. I decided not to use this shot as I didn't think it looked professional enough and it was also to dark to use in my trailer. I decided not to reshoot this shot as I didn't think it was really relevent in my trailer.
The reason all images were dark was because of complications with timing. I realised I had to rethink what time to shoot and when myself and others were available for filming. After I had done this I planned a time when I knew all my cast where available and when it was light enough to shoot. These shots were the ones I have used in my trailer.

I have finished all my filming and am now editing my work on the programme 'Adobe Premire Pro'. I am finding the programme easy to use and the layout is simplistic yet professional. What I'm finding difficult is the timeline and how to get my clips into the order I think they should be in. However if I make a decision and want to change it the programme allows me to do this easily. My clips are all shown in the left hand corner of the screen and it is easy to get them onto the timeline as all I have to do is drag the clip were I want it to appear and it comes up. I am finding that I can get a lot of work done in the time provided in lessons. Although I haven't finished my trailer yet I think I will be able to finish it by the deadline set (17th Decemeber). I now need to upload the music for my trailer onto the programme and fit the music to the clips I have used. I also want to create my own film image so that I can use an original one at the beginning of the trailer rather than copying someone elses. This will make it more individual and will show I have put more effort into my work.

Donnie Darko poster analysis

This poster is an intersting and modernistic poster. The title of the film is the name of the character who dominates the whole movie. The main image is made up of this particular character and the other characters who star in it make up the characters face. This idea is a totally unique way of presenting a film poster and it shows the films idea yet establishes the charcters within it. The colours of the poster are black and blue and this is what establishes the genre of the film which is horror with the sub genre of thriller. The poster is symetrical and the layout is well centered. The title of the film is clearly shown underneath the main image.
