3. Title Idea: Tears Of Blood
Plot Idea:

*Character goes for an operation and it
heals.
*Shot is shown of partner crying with
happiness but tears turn into blood.

and everyone he/she see’s, the same
thing happens.

those who carried out the operation.

they start to haunt his family. management by a theatre company.
*A Silhouette is still present within the
grounds of the church.
*Murders and strange goings on start to
occur; this could be part of the script.
4. The sound effects I would need to use during my teaser trailer, if I
was going with the eye operation idea, would be the beginning
sound of consistent beeping like you hear in a hospital when a
operation is taking place.
Some dialogue will be used.
http://www.fearnet.com/videos/trailer/index.html (The Rise Of
Nightmares – Red Band Trailer) I love the heavy breathing at the
beginning of this. I would like to somehow include something like
this in my trailer, maybe a bit speeded up to create that sense of fret.

haunted one. There’s one close

Church and at night it looks like
it’s just been edited to look
haunted.
6. If I was going with the eye operation idea:
The transitions at the very beginning would probably change in time with the
beeping of the heart monitor. I might use straight cuts or dissolve to cut to
each clip but then when the long beep sound can be heard, I might jump cut
them all again and then go to a extreme close up of his/her eyes and fade to
white or black.
The lighting will be very specific at the beginning. Spotlights on the character
and a high angle on them to show the vulnerability may be used.
Later on as the tension starts growing, the lighting will be reduced and things
will turn a lot darker.
I will use captions in my trailer to increase tension, on a black background so
it blends in with the mood.
7. The film poster colours will link to the genre that I have chosen
which is horror. The stereotyped colours for horror films are usually
black, white and red but during the next few weeks I will do some
research and may also do a questionnaire to get my class’ opinions.
The poster and also the film magazine front cover will both include
some form of insight to the trailer for example a picture of part of
my trailer or a picture that would be seen in my film so that the
audience gets a sneak peak. This will have to be a really strong
image!
The poster and also the image on the magazine cover will also
probably be quite dark like the majority of the trailer. This makes it
look more professional.
8. Will need to have all the correct props that I will need for the trailer.
Will have to make sure that the locations I want to use are free and I
am allowed to film in them.
Will need to research into what makes a good trailer.
Will need to think of what costumes I will be able to use and get
access to for my characters.
Will have to make sure I choose reliable people to be the characters
in it and that they are able to get transport to the locations.
Will have to know how to use the software and equipment and
know when I have access to that.
