Filming Locations

We are using a range of locations for our trailer to keep to the audicene interested as well as looking realistic as a film wouldnt use for example a single shot of a location throughout the whole of the film. Our main location is set in the woods where the most action and chase scenes will occur. By setting our main location in the woods the audience will associate this with a horror trailer as this type of location is used frequently in these genre films. As our trailer is based around a camping trip we will be using specific props within our trailer again making our trailer believeable to the viewing target audience. Below are the some of the locations that i have taken pictures of, that will feature in our final trailer.

Target Audience

Our target audience are people who enjoy horror movies in general but also are interested in other film genres. People who are interested in our type of film trailer will be students varying from 16 to 25 and are in the working class sector. Our trailer is aimed at both females and males and this will be shown clearly in our trailer which will include both genders. This will be shown in our trailer through the characters clothing, the background music and the general mise en scene. To make our trailer stand out from other horror films we are using various locations with different angled shots and lighting which can also be edited on the editing software. In horror trailer and films the characters tend to wear dark clothing to emphasise the scary Ora, we will be incorporating this in our film trailer so the audience can recognise the genre along with the dramatic background music. Our group will eventually take out a questionnaire to our target audience to see what they think of our video and possible what they would like to see in a music video and if they think there could be any improvements, will we take these suggestions and apply them to our video to appeal even more to are target audience.

Filming and Pro Mo Schedule

As you can see, here is a time table of when we can film our video. Me and my group spoke to the main characters and extras and discussed what days/nights we would be able to shoot the video. We also had to book the camera so we made sure we had a timetable to show when we would prefer to have the camera. We plan to film most of the video in the week commencing 18th of october, during this week we hope to take the promo package pictures. Then we hope to begin editing the trailer and therefore if we need to reshoot we have plenty of time before the deadline date. Although the times are a rough outline, it shows our group what time to meet so we have all the characters together. We have to make sure we have a range of shots and that they are well focused, by begining filming at this stage it allows us to correct any bad shots we come across.
