Our storyboard

Equipment we use



In this picture we are showing one of the lights we will use to add high and low key lighting to our teaser trailer. We had to set up the light by positioning it on the stand and setting it to the area you wanted to illuminate. If you position the light away from the subject then you will achieve low key lighting.


In this picture we are showing how we can use the small light and the big light to illuminate the characters face.


In this picture we are showing Elizabeth holding a hand held light to illuminate the lower area of her face. We practiced positioning the hand held light in different areas to show how we would illuminate certain areas of her face.


In this image there is a big light positioned behind Adeola. She is holding a hand held light on the left side of her face and Jouvan, who can not be seen in the image, is holding a hand held light on the right side of her face. Positioning the lights in these places meant that Adeola's face was well illuminated.


In this picture we are demonstrating how the different positions of the light give of different reflections. As shown in the image one light is reflecting on one side Harry whilst another is turned away from him. This creates a shadow on one side of Harry whilst the other is illuminated.

In  this shot we have Jouvan holding a hand held light on the left side of her face. This shows how important light is because the other side of her face is completely dark.

Preliminary filming images








Our group took pictures of a horror film teaser trailer scene in order to prepare us for our actual teaser trailer. By doing so our group gained knowledge on how to operate the camera as well as becoming familiar with practising film scenes. Harry acted as the priest in this particular scene, the scene was about a priest tying to save a mothers possessed daughter. 

Preliminary Shooting Task


In order to prepare for the filming of our horror teaser trailer, I filmed my little sister making tea. I used cuts, different camera angles and worked with lighting. This was just a rough task to give me a rough idea of filming. 

Adeola Audience Research

As part of our audience research, we decided to undertake an informal questionnare with five people in order to gather information on what things they like to see within a horror movie or just basically what they expect. In order to vary the results we all used different methods for the research

We all agreed to use the first 6 questions in all of our research. Those six questions were;
  • What is your age
  • What is your gender
  • What genre of films do you enjoy the most
  • How long do you expect a teaser trailer to be
  • What colours do you think would be suitable for a horror poster
For the last question within our group we was given the flexibilty to choose the last question to ensure that there was a slight variton in the research.

I done my audience research via the blackberry messenger and I used an application called screen munch to capture the responses.
