Second Cut of Trailer

We have now produced a second cut of our trailer. We have edited in the re-shooted version of the final scene. We now think that this almost mirrors the opening sequence which was an effect we were going for. My favourite moments are the close up of the feet and the close up of the chain being unlocked - I think these are...

Whilst editing, we knew the fast sequence was the part that was going to bring the whole trailer together so it is good we now have it shot and edited in. We also wanted to re-shoot the end...

Poster Inspiration - The Town That Dreaded Sundown

 For my poster, I am using the existing poster for the 2014 film 'The Town That Dreaded Sundown' as inspiration. I am using this as inspiration as both that film and our film have similar 'mystery killer' storylines. In my poster and other ancillary products, I wanted to play up the element of the mystery killer as that is probably the 'scariest' thing...

Reflection on Production So Far

Over the past few months, we have been busy filming our trailer. Our filming hasn't always been a smooth process - there have been many hurdles that we have had to overcome. However, this process has definitely helped us to develop the skills to overcome hurdles and any issues. One issue we have is being able to get locations and our cast members...
