Research and Planning: Brusheezy Designs
I have decided to look for some Brusheezy designs for some brush effects on my poster. This is wear the effect will have come from on my final design. It is just a sort of vision I could go for so I have looked into it for influence, however I have not yet decided whether to use them or not but I thought it was worthy of a mention. I was going to use it as a sort of blood dripping down the page on my Film Poster, but it may not be needed and look too crowded. I would also have to find the correct brusheezy design to give the blood effect.

Research and Planning: Film Magazine to date
This is my Film Magazine so far. The layout is all okay however I feel to make it more Horror-esque I could play around with the gradients and lighting effects because I feel it looks too bright. The right hand side also looks a little bare.

Research and Planning: Trailer Dilemma
The edited trailer hasn't been uploaded to my blogger yet as I haven't had access to the iMac with it on to upload it; you can find the trailer on my group members Amy Sheldon and Samantha Chapman's blog and I shall upload it as soon as possible.

Research and Planning: Missing Poster
This is the missing poster we made for the Trailer. It could also be used for the Film Poster or Magazine if necessary.
Research and Planning: Update
Over the last few days we got busy doing a lot of filming for our Trailer, although we are not fully done. I have started editing and am currently finishing off the first final edit before going onto doing the rest. We plan on filming the rest of our footage, finishing off the editing then doing the sound.
Research and Planning: Trailer Unedited Footage
This is our unfinished and unedited footage for our trailer so far.

Research and Planning: Film Magazine Typical Articles
For inspiration for articles that could be in my magazine, I have looked at front covers from other Film Magazines. This research will also be helpful in guidance to what would be suitable to be on my front cover, layouts and colour.
Research and Planning: Change of idea on Film Magazine Masthead Design
Although the bottom one was favourited by my target audience and also myself, in context it didn't look good when it was on my magazine due to the brick background of the picture. Instead of using this, I have just simply used the one with now blend to it as I felt it looked slick and professional.

Research and Planning: Audience Feedback on Film Poster Title
Research and Planning: Meeting Post
Our group have had a meeting today and decided that our Trailer seems more of a Murder Mystery than a Horror so we have come up with a few ideas to change this matter.
These are our ideas:
To change this we have come up with an additional scene for the trailer which is
- Girl One is in her bedroom on the phone to another character and the camera is watching her through a gap in the wardrobe
- Girl hears a smash and decides to go and look what is happening
- Long shot of girl walking out of room cautiously
- The girl turns slightly to reveal someone behind her
