In this first moodboard I chose these images because they show emotions we will represent in our trailer, the first image is of a man that looks scared, this we will show using Elton when he sees the clown. We also have a picture of a man screaming, a woman pullin her hair screaming and a man crying, these expression will also be shown by Elton when he expresses his anger and frustration with the clowns evil intentions. We then have some images of blood, the two images of chelsea smiles represent the scene when the clown begins to cut his face. The bloody hands, mirror and sink also represent the scene where the clown cuts his face however when these images are used the camera shows Elton. The wig represents the clown. the house represent Eltons house and the Mood in the sky represents night.
The images in the second mood board were chosen because the first picture is dark and scary same as the picture of the bedroom, we will use similar settings in our trailer to represent our chosen genre. Again their are a lot of images of clowns, emotions and blood which we will use, the clowns main weapon will be the knife. Then all the writing represents Eltons mental illness and we will possibly have him writing the name of the clown over and over or possibly numbers. The clours are mainly red, white and black which represents danger and darkness which is an important aspect of horror.
In terms of location the majority of our trailer is based inside Eltons house, this can also be seen in many popular horror films such as Insidious and The Conjuring. These locations are realistic because the house is Eltons actual home and as we found from doing our focus group the more realistic and believable the setting the scarier.
In terms of the style of the house we are using to film, it is very modern and not particularly scary, however we wanted to use a house that looks modern and that is used as a family home.
The lighting we will use in the house will, for the majority of the trailer be dark and gloomy to show that it is night time and to show the presents of the dark character know as the clown.
Colours associated with horror tend to be black, white and red because they represent danger and darkness, so for trailer we will be using these colours in Eltons costume, by having him wear black jeans a black T-shirt and a red button up shirt on top, the clowns costume, who has a black, white and red face paint, red hair and the costume is black and white, and finally in the mirror scene the sink and mirror are white but get covered in blood.
The expession of the different characters in this trailer are crucial for portraying the genre correctly. Samantha Urry who plays Nurse Grey in our trailer must talk very calmly and comforting toward Elton as she needs him to feel safe talking to her as she is his councillor, therefore her facial expressions will be very soft and relaxed.
Kurts character because he is acting as himself his character is very natural and he is relaxed and content in our trailer however after having a short conversation with his brother Elton when he comes home he begins to show concern because he is not quite himself.
When Elton acts the part of the main character who has schizophrenia he is very parinoid and anxious, in result of this his facial expressions show panic and confusion.
When Elton is acting the part of the clown he either does not show any emotion, this shows that he maybe isn't human so he doesn't show emotion. The only time that the clown does smile its a sinister and very intimidating smile because when he does smile its because he is about to hurt or kill someone.
This is a first example of our first logo. On here we just tried out some ideas to see how it would look like. We are still working on it an we are going to be doing some improvement on it.
This is the start of out second idea. We thought that we could use this picture and write `Scream Productions` on the band. We tried out different fonts to see which one was going to be the besrt for our second idea:
