Our Media Pitch

Here is a video of our presentation that we did on our media trailer. We talk about the themes, inspiration, styles, conventions, characters, the plot and the storyboard ideas for our horror trailer, (if you can hear what we are saying...).

Overall, I think our pitch went quite well. It was quite long and complicated, so maybe it could have been improved if we simplified our brief a bit.

Filming Practice

Here is some footage of me and my friends trying out some filming techniques that could be useful for our horror trailer, like shot-reverse-shot, someone being dragged away, passing through a door, subjective view point, chase scenes, and scenes from different perspectives.

We edited the video footage on Windows Movie Maker to try out different effects like B&W, fading to black, and changing the speed. I think the fading to black is an effective transition, especially for the horror genre.
