Video Evaluation.

The Game Trailer

This is the original trailer that we made, it's called The Game and it is a horror genre. We used a range of shots such as;

quick shots,

fast forwards,

close ups,

and Establishing shots.

When given audience feedback we decided that the voices arn't clear enough and the audience couldn't hear what was being said. With taking this into acount we decided to add voice overs into our trailer.

Film Poster - The Game

This is my film poster. I decided not to give a actual date for the film as the picture shows not alot about the film, I thought by showing the date would contrast this. As the title of the film is 'The Game' We, as a group decided that this tagline was appropriate. I decided to use this font as it seemed to fit into a horror genre/creepy kind of writing. I chose to use different colours to make it stand out more and using Grey for only one word to represent it's importance.
The billing block is at the bottom so that it does not cover up any important parts of the picture. I also chose to give a rating of the film to attract audiences into coming to see it by showing how good it has been rated.

Film Magazine Front Cover - The Game


This is my front cover for my magazine. I chose to use generally three colours of Black Red and White as they are the colours used throughout our Trailer. My brand picture is Rachel Waring, who is one of the leading stars of the film. I decided to use her for both my film poster and my magazine cover to show continuity of my brand. I thought by comparing my film to Shutter Island would attract readers who like this genre of film or in fact are fans of the film itself. I decided to use such things as the plus sign which, by researching, Empire frequently use.

This is my mock up of the film poster.

Empire Film Magazine Mock Up

This is my magazine mock up. I compared several Film magazines and thought that Empire was the most professional and fitted my genre well. I chose to use several puffs just like the actual Empire magazine to make it look more realistic. I also used the original empire logo as by making my own would not of give of the effect that my addition was not in fact real.

Story Overview and StoryBoards.


In our film/Trailer Richard was the stalker and murderer, he was friends with Rebecca's character, the unnamed victim. Rebecca's character was besotted with Richard, and thought he felt the same way towards her. However, when Rebecca's character shares her feelings, Richard doesn't react in the same mannor as he then pushes her into a lake, which results in her drowning and dying. Then Rachel's character, again unnamed, moves into Rebecca's old house. Richard, who lives next door, sees Rachel as another potential victim, and begins stalking her. In the trailer, it is not explained why the occupier of that house is Richard's victims. It is then that Rebecca's character returns to her house, as a ghost, attempting to warn Rachel's character away from Richard.


Actor's List And Venue List.

Rebecca Taylor Williams - Rebecca ( Victim)
Rachel Waring - Rachel ( Victim)
Tony Killen - Richard

The Venues that we used for our production were: Spinny Close - This was used for all the house scenes and garden scenes. We also used this for one of the establishing shots. We received permission easily as it was a personal relation's house. Spinny Woods - We used these woods/Forest to do our more, fast paced shots such as running threw the woods with our film being a horror we thought the correct mis en scene would be scary, spooky woods which we used. We also used Glenn Park for the swing scenes.

Film Trailor Of The Dark Knight

This is the trailer for the film The Dark Knight. It was released in July 2008 and was directed by Christopher Nolan. The trailer is very dark. It starts with a black screen and a voice over of 'The Joker' which already grabs the audience by his spine-chilling voice. There isn't as much speaking from theother charechters throughout the trailer and it suggest who the two main characters are. With using several establishing shots it gives an idea that the film is set in America and gives a good preview of the 'goody' and 'bady'. With looking at this I have decieded that using several establishing shots would be useful to set the scene in my upcoming trailer.

Empire The Dark Knight.





This double cover collectors magazine front cover for Empire on The Dark Knight was released the same month that the film was released.
