'PERILOUS' FONT IDEAS

DaFont - Caracura

PErILOUS

PRO – It seems as if the writing is drowning out and disappearing relating to the character of our film who is slowly deteriorating.

CON – May be mistaken for a slasher film as it looks like blood dripping.

DaFont – Pulse Sans Virgin

PERILOUS

PRO – As some words are switched around, it relates to the disorientation of Jake’s mind.

CON – For our poster, this may look too long.

DaFont – Times New Yorker

PERILOUS

PRO – As it is bold it will stand out and the bricks can represent his outside journey.

CON – It is too simplistic for our poster.

From all these choices we decided to go with the first option as we believe that it relates to our film the most and the font clearly shows the audience that it is a horror film.

PLANNING 18 - REASONS FOR OUR LOCATIONS

REASONS FOR OUR LOCATION:

The Tower Hamlets Graveyard vs. CTC Graveyard

The reason why we decided to use this instead of the one next to the CTC site is because we found that the graves were a lot more scattered around the area and made it looked displaced which creates a disjointed look  to our film. We also wanted to choose this because we found that the way the trees came over the graves and the bushes gives it a more forest element so it can link to our intertextuality of ‘The Blair witch project’. Another reason for the use of this location is because we will be filming in December therefore it will be a lot darker, which gives the graveyard a mistier and haunted effect in our film.

The Aspire Sixth Form library vs. The Harley Grove library

We chose this location instead of the Harley Grove library because we found that if we used the one in Aspire it would create more continuity in our film because the film is mostly based around that building. We also chose this library because we found that the exit doors and the main door is a lot better to capture in the film and the spacing of the sofa works well within the shot of the doors.

Victoria Park vs. Bethnal Green Park vs. Stepney Green Park

Victoria Park was chosen because we liked the way there is one huge path. The reason why we like this is because when we shoot we can capture a lot of angles as the path is big enough. Another reason why we chose this park is because we found that because we will we working when the days get darker the bare trees will have a nice connotation in the film because it could signify the emptiness and loneliness that Jake is feeling because of all the things that he is facing alone.

Simple Gifts Church

The reason for this location is because we found that it challenges the conventions of a horror film, and it gives the element that Jake comes here for safety but in reality for him nowhere is safe. We also wanted to choose this location because it showed more of Jakes personality, and suggests to the audience that he likes to help others which is why he volunteers at the church, and makes the audience sympathise for him because of how he doesn’t deserve this. We also found that a church worked well as many people say that this is where the spirits come to communicate so it suggest that villain is here to perhaps communicate to Jake, but the audience don’t know why.

PLANNING 17 - NARRATIVE

PLANNING 16 - ADV & DISADV OF OUR POSTERS

ANALYSIS OF OUR FILM POSTERS:

THAHMINA’s POSTER:

Advantages:

• The slogan. By having this it enables our audience to remember our film, also by making it short it stays in the mind and must be catchy.
• The dark background used to highlight the scary mask is effective as it brings out the look of the mask, and suggests that as the audience we are supposed to be looking for a villain who looks like this, yet we know that the villain is not shown until the very end. 

Disadvantages:

• It doesn’t include the name of our production, so the audience are unable to recognise our company name.

AIMA’s POSTER

Advantages:

• An advantage is the use of both our character’s and the masks face, this suggests to the audience that perhaps Jake is the villain himself, and that he is taking over himself.
• Again the use of a dark background is effective because it embraces the look of the main image in the middle of the poster.

Disadvantages:

• However, something that could be improved is to add a slogan, so that the audience are reminded about the film by remembering something catchy.

ROHIMA’s POSTER

Advantages:

• An advantage of this poster is that it includes an object from the film, so it gives our audience an insight into the film and an idea of what it will be about.
• Another advantage is the use of the unclear vision of our villain and how the audience have to guess who it may be, creating suspense.

Disadvantages:

• However, the object that is in the film may give too much away, so the audience may already predict the story and perhaps may not find it interesting.
• Also it uses natural lighting, which perhaps does not give it a scary element to the film.

FINAL DECISIONS:

So after looking at all our posters, we decided on the things we would include in our final poster in order for it to be successful. It will include:

• A dark background.
• The mask, which is something that is a big part from a film.
• ‘Perilous’ will be placed at the bottom, in a larger font.
• ‘X PRODUCTION’ will be below the title, in a smaller font.
• A slogan will be added at the top in order for the audience to see this first, and will be a lot more intrigued to watch the film.

PLANNING 15 - SOUND CHOICES FOR RADIO TRAILER

SOUND CHOICES

Static noise would be effective as it shows that there is something wrong happening in the current situation.


The song links to Strauss theory of 'Binary Oppositions' as it is like Old Vs New since we are playing a song from the past decade in a modern film.


This is the tone that we would want our news reporter voice over to have as it is firm and realistic. 

PLANNING 14 - OUR POTENTIAL POSTER IDEAS

PLANNING 13 - RISK ASSESSMENT

RISK ASSESSMENT

Hazard	Who might be harmed and how?	How will I prevent it from happening
Crossing over roads to get to places.	Both directors and cast could drop equipment and cause havoc on the roads.	We will make sure to pay attention to traffic lights and when crossing roads, we will look carefully before crossing. Also, we could try to just stay on one side of the pavement rather than crossing over to other sides.
Inside the Aspire building and on the rooftop.	In this situation, the main actor and the director may be harmed because of anything that may be lying about whilst shooting.	In this case, we will make sure that there is nothing laying around the place such as bags so we are working in a clear and organised setting.
The public - Park	It could harm the public in case there is any equipment laying around on the floor, which wouldn’t be professional.	To prevent this we will make sure to keep out belongings organised and out of the way to ensure that the public are not affected by anything.
Props	We could be harmed by things that are lying around for instance we could trip over the fog machine in Scene 1.	We will make sure that all props are shown to the cast, to make it clear that it is there in order for no one to trip over anything.
Locations - Church	In this location, we could get hurt by anything that the church has left for example if the chairs are left lying around in a disoriented position, one of us could trip over it.	To prevent this, we will go to all locations beforehand in order to clear the space so that nothing is in the way. But we will ask for permission to do this, and put things back if needed.
The weather	If the weather is extremely bad such as extreme winds and heavy rain it will be hard to produce anything and to control equipment.	In order to prevent this, we will make sure we take a weather check before leaving and pack umbrella’s etc. so that we are prepared for it.
