Sounds for my trailer.
I have been looking into sounds I feel will work well with my trailer. Using freesound.org I serached for sounds by using key words. My search generated many different sounds and I downloaded about 7 so i could try them out and see which worked best. I have also been using different effects such as dissolve etc. I have completed about half of my trailer and over the next week I will finish my first rough cut.

Editing my film.
This week I have been editing my film in Adobe Premiere. After importing my clips I have been ordering them and watching them back to see which are suitable. After gathering the clips I would be using I looked back to the storyboard for guidence on how my trailer should run. I have been cutting some clips by using the sey=t in and set out point.

Feedback from students.
Although I have already listed the improvements I would make to make to my ancillary products I have recieved some feedback from my fellow classmates about what they liked and what they thought I should change on my film poster and magazine cover.
The main thing that people liked was the pixalated image on the film poster. They also like the mast head on the magazine. They suggested I used the same masthead on my film poster. Improvements were to cut the black out of the masthead using paint.net this would mean I would have a more presentable front cover. Some said they liked the masthead going over the eyes as it conveyed mystery `however others said that it lacked emotion.

Main improvements.
On my mock ups of my ancillary products I noticed that there were many things I would change.
1) The program I used to make my film poster meant that it was very 'blocky'. In my final I would ensure that I used paint.net so that I would not face this problem.
2)I need to add a tagline to my film.
3)Cut out main image so there is a less harsher background
4)Have the masthead of the magazine behind the main image.
5)Stick to colour scheme and add varied magazine coverlines.

Posters.
The colour scheme of a film poster is important because it helps give the viewer certain clues to the genre of the film. Most colours associated with horror films are darker colours. When making my film poster I will use darker colours to connote danger/terror/darkness etc.
in many horror film posters the main image is of the victim or the antagonist. In my poster I have decided to use a still from the trailer of the killer. When making my mock up up I am going to distort the image as I think this adds more mystery to the poster. Also I think it makes it obvious that the character is not the victim by the fact that she is not looking at the camera as usually the victim will look straight at the camera as a plea for help. I want the audience to be intrigued by the character. The picture will be in black and white. I don't want any colour in the poster because I think by having it in black and white it separates it from reality. Also the black and white will make it obvious that the film is a horror which gives the audience an insight into the genre. I will have a 15 certificate on the poster because this is what rating I think my film should be. I want my writing to be in white and in a simple font so that it does not detract the attention away from the focal point, the main image.
