Make Up Test

Behind Photo Shoot 2

Make Up Test

The make up for the characters of the protagonist and the boyfriend was just normal, natural makeup including light make up on the main character. For the clown however, we wanted to add a bit of colour to the clowns neck to match the mask and possibly add some colour around the eyes.

For the clown, we used white acrylic paint for his neck so the make up was heavy and thick and therefore better to see for the camera. We tried normal White paint but the colour was too light and so we decided to use acrylic due to the fact we couldn't get a hold of any white face paint for an affordable price in a short amount of time. 

The make up in this photo, you can see the clowns white neck goes down to his t-shirt to blend in with the costume. In the second image you can see that we tried paint ting around his eyes with yellow face paint paint, the White acrylic paint and also black eye liner. 

Although it looked quite effective, we found that wen we were filming, you were unable to see the detail around his eyes becauseof the shadow of the mask within his eye sockets. Because of this decided to take off the make up around his eyes but we would like to try use the make up around his eye for the poster as we have planned to do a close up on the clown mask. 

Behind the Scene Photos 2

Here are some images that were taken behind the scenes of our second time filming or our trailer. These few images were taken inside or second location -- The Couples House.


These two images were take once we finished of the Killer Clowns costume. As you can see, the clown's wearing a blue and orange boiler suit tied around his waist, with a plain white t-shirt that we splattered blood on to add to the verisimilitude.

 

This image was taken when the character of the Boyfriend had to take he camera and place it in the corner of the hall-way to give the trailer some self-taken, home recorded footage.

 

 

These are the images that were taken after we did our Clowns make-up.

 Here are some images that were taken in our third location

Shot List

Shot List

1st Scene

Chief of Police: Mid Shot 

This scene is to highlight the importance of the character present in it, the fact that the shot is focused solely on this character shows that he is the main focus and the audience needs to focus mainly on what he is saying as this part will be crucial to understand the plot of the film. The mid shot also allows the background to be visible in the scene which we found was common in chief of police speeches after doing some research.

 

2nd Scene

Extreme Close up of television remote

This expresses the emotions of the characters by showing they want to quickly get rid of this news and to link the first scene to the second as well as the characters to the current situation.

Couple on the sofa: Long Shot

This shot will show the way the couple react together and when hearing the news and to set the scene as these two will be the main characters in the beginning.

Couple Hugging: Mid Shot

This shot allows the audience to see the closeness of the couple and to draw in the audience so they will feel closer to these characters and will cause more of an effect when one of them dies and the other is in danger.

Main Protagonist: Close up/ Low angle

This shot will show the emotions of the character as the shot combined with the angle focus mainly on the character's face.

Boyfriend: Close up/ Low angle

Shot of Protagonist: Mid Shot

This shot will show our protagonist reacting to the sudden darkness, this will be foreboding as the darkness links to the 'darkness' coming for the characters.

Protagonist: Close Up

Shows emotion of protagonist growing gradually more worried by showing just her face that will let the audience know that something bad has happened.

Protagonist opens door: Long Shot/ Low Angle

This will show what the character is doing without giving away what she is seeing as it's just a trailer but will increase the tension in the scene.

Blood: Extreme Close Up

Shows what the character has seen and implies that something bad has happened to the other main character. It also shows that our main protagonist is now alone and possibly in danger.

Protagonist and Antagonist: Over the Shoulder 

This will show the emotion of fear on our protagonist's face and also to introduce the clown as a threat to the main character's safety. This will engage the audience as she will not be able to see the clown behind her but the audience will.

-FIGHT SCENE-

Continuous flashes of white light and several shots of the action such as: close up of weapon, close ups of the damage they're doing to each other.

5th Scene

Protagonist with camera: POV Long Shot

This will be to set a new scene and raise tension in the audience as it will be in a new location that will be hard to see in with the antagonist still in pursuit of her.

Protagonist with camera: Over the shoulder/ Pan

This will show the clown behind her at one point then when she pans back it will show him disappear this will make the audience more concerned for the characters well being as it shows that the antagonist is nearby but now out of sight. 

-DARKNESS-

Balloon: Mid Shot

The balloon at the end will look ominous and link the clown to the theme of the film and the balloon will be red which will give connotations of danger.

Ancillary Flat Plan 2

Here we have created a flat plan for the second ancillary task of making a poster for our trailer.

 

As you can see, we have created out flat plan on photoshop, as it would be the format that we would create our final poster on. This way we were able to gain some experience of the software.  

In the poster, where the faint 'x' is, we have planned the whole background to be a close up of the clown's face, with a dark light in the background, so it only shows certain elements of the clowns face. Underneath we have also planned on putting the name of the movie underneath the clowns face, and then further information about the producers etc.. underneath. We are also going to include a date of release.

 

These were some of the posters we have been taking inspiration from:

Daily Call Sheet

Ancillary Flat Plan 1

Here we have made a flat plan for the second ancillary task of making a Movie Magazine.

Here we have added a masthead right at the top of the magazine with a bubble to the right hand side. We then have planned to include some cover lines to the left hand side of the magazine and the main cover line on the right hand side above our essential info. We based this off our research and the magazine covers we liked the best. We have planned our main image to be the full background as we found this technique is a popular choice in most magazines. We've also added a skyline at the bottom of the magazine however we don't know if we want one at the top as well.

 

These are some of the magazines we have been taking inspiration from:
