Mood boards

When it came to the actual construction of planning my trailer and ancillary tasks it was important that I had an idea of what I wanted to include within each of my projects as well as what I needed to include. As the genre I chose was that of a horror it was essential that I focused on the stereotypical elements within the misenscene of each of my projects. I used mind maps to put all of my ideas down, each under specific conventions within each area such as layout, misenscene and lighting. Within the mind map for my trailer I wanted to see how I could incorporate the main idea of ‘Light’ possibly with the use of props and sound. I made notes on the types of camera angles that I might use as well as how I could include the genre into each area. The mind map for my poster allowed me to focus on what I was looking for in terms of what would be expected within my layout of my poster. I wanted to make sure that I looked at what kind of text I would have, especially when it came to portraying my overall genre of my horror project. I wanted to especially focus on the misenscene of my poster so that it really conveyed the stereotypes of a horror poster. There are specific requirements that are to be expected within a film poster that I would have to take into consideration, such as the certified rating for my target audience, which I felt should be a 15, and above all the name of my trailer with the possible use of critics quotes to advertise my product successfully. When thinking about my magazine front cover and what I wanted to portray within it, I included two possible ideas that I felt may make it stand out when it came to a viewer seeing it. Again the layout is important and I needed to make sure I stayed within the typical expectations of the magazine masthead, included with puffs and plugs. I also have to make sure that I think about the genre of my horror magazine and making sure that my central image is suited to my target audience.
