Silent Night Trailer Final Draft

This is the final draft for our trailer, there have been quite a few changes made to it since the original idea was made a  few months back. One of the main changes we made to the trailer was the music we used, we originally wanted to use a slowed down piano version of 'Santa Claus is coming to Town' but due to copyright issues, we later had to use music that was free of copyright and we decided on two different pieces of music, the first piece was called 'Music Box Opening' which we found on Jamendo, and the piece of music we used in the action part of the trailer was called 'The House Of Leaves' which Levinia found on Incompetech. 

Movie Magazine

This is the first draft of our magazine, I used the same image as the poster, but we decided that, that image didn't suit being on the cover of a magazine.
Also feedback from people, suggested that some of the stuff that was on the cover didn't fit in with the genre of our film. For example the link to Spiderman and interview, and also the colours used looked too childish.
Also there was too much focus on Twilight, as I changed it so the main focus was on our film.
I also made the logo for the magazine using a few images from Google and editing them on Photoshop to make them in to the image we needed for our magazine title.
We decided to cal our magazine Movie Reel because it was quite simple and sounded movie magaziney.


Here's the final draft for our magazine, we used a still from one of the shots where Tom was walking towards the camera.

Movie Poster

Here is the final draft for our film poster, there were  few changes made to it since the first draft, for example I had to change the names of the main actors in the movie as we slightly changed what was going to happen in our trailer. 

We also didn't agree on what the name of our group was, which meant we didn't have a production logo made to go on the poster, which I had to make and add on to the poster later on.

As a group we also hadn't decided on wen we were to release our movie in cinemas, but later decided that seeing as it is a Christmas horror, the best time to have it released is before Christmas so people have time to watch the movie, as it wouldn't really be affective after Christmas.

Here is the 2nd draft of our movie poster:

Weekly Update!

So far we have filmed most of the clips that we need for our trailer, but there are just a few more shots that are needed to complete the filming. We have also started on some of the editing and have tried putting effects that will make our production look more real. We also looked at music, and are deciding what we want int the music, for example because our trailer is based around Christmas, we are thinking about having 'Santa Claus is Coming to Town' but a slowed down version so it sounds quite scary.

Me and Levinia have also made the film poster for our movie, using a still that we thought represents the movie really well. 

At the moment we are deciding on what we want to do with our movie magazine, we have come up with a name, 'Film Fanaticz' and the next thing do do is start working on that, finish filming and get on with editing and making the music.

Movie Poster

Here is the first draft of our movie poster, which me and Levinia worked on. To make the poster we used Photoshop, because we found it was the easiest and most efficient one to use. The image we used was a still from when we filmed the killer standing outside the boys bedroom window.
