ALONE movie teaser trailer 2012

I have made some changes to my trailer, firstly I have made the analog TV noise end sooner so that it goes off exactly when the image ends. I have also added the girl being dragged backwards because I got feedback on survey monkey suggesting to add more clips of the girls as there is a lot of title screens, thy also said to make it slightly longer. Using final cut pro I added the bad film effect which is on a lot of the scenes on the movie already so that the whole movie has a specific house style as well as adding to the creepy horror genre. I also increased the heartbeat sound because it is hard to hear with all the other sounds in the movie.

Feedback on magazine

My audience feedback was: "you should add links to social network sites, and an actual website."

"you should use the same image filter on the alone part of the magazine so that it is a similar style and colour"

I have made these changes shown above. I will also look to fading the image into the background so that its not such a hard line.

Creating my film poster masthead

I began editing my poster by using the same typography that is in my film which I had downloaded from dafont.com I then added a green tint to the picture to match the colour of the TV flicker. To get the flicker I using grab on the macs to capture the image and using layers on Indesign was able to write text on it.

Using soundtrack

This was the first time I used soundtrack, I used different layers so that I could adjust the volume on the different sounds, such as increasing the sound of the heart beat, and making the breathing noise louder. I also learned how to fade out the sound so that its a smoother video. I imported a rough cut of my video so that I could match the sound up with the video. I also increased the pace and used sounds together to make the loud bang on the alone such as thunder, explosion and drone noises so that it really emphasizes the sound.

Using surveymonkey.com

I signed up and used surveymonkey.com because its a great way to get feedback on my video in percentages and accurate figures, I asked mostly yes or no questions and posted this on facebook for people to take because its the target audience I am aiming for.
