Production Week 9
This week we have started working on our ancillary task poster. It's not currently complete but we have the basics done, just a few more things to add. We also started editing on Final Cut with the scenes we have already shot.

Movie Poster Update
Below you will find a JPEG image of the poster so far. For this poster I have used photoshop and an image we all decided on from our ancillary photoshoot. We decided to follow what many horror posters do which is display the antagonist as the forefront of this poster. The use of the mask adds a creepy affect along with some background to the left of the image which is dark adding a more sinister vibe to it.
I have added lower text below the title and tag line which lists the cast and crew members of our 'film'. Though the listed cast/crew may be edited. I've also added an opening date which we chose to be Halloween as many horror movies release then.
I've also added a fake website to the side of our release date. I have done this as many movies these days use cross media convergence meaning they have different ways of advertising their movie with different forms of media. One of ours being a website.
All that is left to add is our logo which is still being made.

Ancillary Photoshoot
Below are the images we took for our Poster for our trailer. These were taken in the studio but instead of using studio lighting for the first few, we used the light on a mobile phone. On the eleventh photo and onwards we did use a studio light, it was on 2.3 and quite far away from the model. We chose to focus on the mask/antagonist as other horror movie posters have followed the conventions of showing what is in the movie/trailer that will terrify the audience. It provides the audience with a sneak look at the main cause of chaos in the movie. We then tried midshots but found close ups far creepier.

Photoshoot Planning
Media Studies – Foundation Portfolio Photo shoot planning document
What emotional impact do you want your photography to have upon the reader and how will you achieve this?
I want the images to come across quite creepy and eerie so that it will reflect a horror. For this we have planned that we would like to take close up's of the clown's face as in our research, we found that close up's of the antagonist was a popular choice.
What personnel do you need? Who are you going to photograph?
For our photoshop, our old friend is going to pal the part of the clown, so we are going to use him for the images.
What props will you need?
All we plan to use is a lightbox and the clown's mask.
How are you going to emphasise colour?
The colours we would like to emphasis in tis image will be the typical horror colours of black and red, with the white on the mask. This way the poster will look dark, scary and appealing to a horror-audience.
Have you briefed your personnel/models?
Yes, we have spoken to our clown, so he knows that type of photo's we plan to take and the overall idea of the poster so he knows what is in stall for the photoshoot.
What lighting will you need? Any other equipment?
We will just need a lightbox for our images. Possibly use a phone light for a more intense white light on the clown, but this would be depending on the images off the lightbox. We
would like to experiment using different light so we have a wider variation to choose from.
Where will you shoot? Will you need a backdrop?
We plan to just use the plain black background in the collage's photography studio, as it will help bring out the red and yellow in the mask. This would also give us the darkness we want in out poster.
Mise-en-scene - Make-up? Costumes? Props?
The only bit of make-up we will need for our clown would be some white face paint for the clown's neck to blend the mask in with his t-shirt. The costume and props would be the Clown's mask.
