I have used this trailer to help see the features of a horror movie. We will use synchronous sound when using murder weapons in the film as the massacre did with his chainsaw. Zoom in and close-ups will also be used to show the emotion on the charachters faces.
Dark lighting will be displayed throughout and also non-diagetic sound to build tension and help convey the horror of the film.
The part where they show the hook and then the girl being dragged towards it but don't actually see the outcome is a feature we will use as it gives the audience a question of what happened but also is extremely scary.

Main Task
Today I have been creating a mind map so I have an idea of what our group should include in our film.
We have discussed what the genre of our film should be and decided on a horror film. In my group there is Sarah, Emma and myself.
In my mind map I have thought about the aspects of a stereotypical horror film therfore I have included, the purpose, setting, music, costumes and much more. We discussed the setting and decided that it would take place in my house as it has access to woods and alley ways which would be useful for a horror film.
We thought about horror films that our out now or have been out for a while and extracted ideas from them.
Over the next couple of months we will be foccusing on this task.

Further Editing
Today we looked over our preliminary task and decided what to change about it. We decided that we should include a shot-reverse-shot between Sarah and I.
The problem was that Sarah had on a different top so we could not film the extra footage today as the scenes wouldnt match. Sarah will bring in the top she had on previously so we can film tomorrow and then our preliminary task will be finished.
We edited more on the scenes we had, cutting some scenes so the overall effect was better. Unfortunately one of the group members has left school so we had to get use to the group being just the three of us and consequentley finishing the task without Yaz.
Overall the lesson went well and we managed to decide what needed to be done and acting on it. The task will be finished tomorrow ready for showing it in the upcoming lessons.

Editing
Last lesson we edited our scenes for the project we were given which was to create short film clips. We used the editing software on the computer at school and were able to edit our scenes well. It took an hour to decide what clips we wanted and consequentley what footage we would use. We were able to finish our project last lesson.
