sooooooo

texas chainsaw massacre

IS AWESOME

we looked at the trailors of the movie in 1974, and of 2003 and we are now going textually analys them.

the 1974 trailor opens with

jekky and hyde

"He put the glass to his lips and drank at one gulp. Acry followed; he reeled, staggered, clutched at the tableand held on, staring with injected eyes, gasping withopen mouth; and as I looked there came, I thought, achange – he seemed to swell – his face became suddenlyblack and the features seemed to melt and alter"

this si the sort of thing that we would liek to base our film on

it is taken from chapter 9 of the novel 'jekyll and hyde'

our transformation would probably more mental than physical. but still would make some physical changes.

questionaire

misdirection

i thought the camera angles were very interesting. the use of the the msuic and editing really brought the emotion of the piece forward so the audience could get a sense of enigma. there is a sense of disequillibrium throughout after the 'lady' was knocked into at the begining.

our movie from ages ago

this is the movie we did as a pre task to our actual coursework.

featuring mc widge, and gangster tom

we feel it is quite well filmed as it is our first ever production and it uses all the correct criteria for a good film, such as: match on action, 180 degree rule, over the shoulder shot and eye line match.

all ion all we are pleased with it.

horror movies

our genre for our trailor/intro is horror.

we have looked at some other horror movie trailors, and had a great success in finding similar things to our idea in which we think we could incorporate into out work.

the idealistic horror movie, is always set at night, when it is raining, and there is always a storm. therefore we feel we should use this setting in our jekyll and hyde trailor. also the trailors are not always stolen scenes from the movie, but are often completely filmed apart from the movie. we think that this is better because it gives the audience a sense of what the film is about, but it doesnt give any of the film away. such an example of this is the original trailor to 'american werewolf in london' (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=B_5s7JbEYGE&feature=related)

this is filmed completely apart form the movie, despite being a boring trailor.
we still like the idea of it being set apart from the movie.

sooooooooooooooo

our trailor of jekyll and hyde would be a great and exhilirating trailor to watch.

the trailor consists of man filmed and unfilmed parts. the text and speech reads:
'one man, two personalities, but two personalities is not quite what it seems'

this would be read in a deep movie style voice, like that guy on the e4 adverts or that guy who does the voice over for x factor.

these shots going to be on a black background with the text moving towards the audience at a slow pace as it is being spoken. it shall be writting in blood and it shall be dripping. to add to the 'horror' theme of the movie.

sooooooooo

back to 'business'

camera angles:
close up's
birds eye view
tracking shot
pan

editing:
cuts
fades
wipes

just so you know

we are not actually going to film this

its too hard.

but the story board is in the hands of el' lawto

to add to our last post

we chose the shots because we felt that it would really emphasise the technical side of filming

Jekkyl

and hyde
was the movie that we 'story-boarded'. it consisted of 12 shots, each quickly flashed on the screen. all in all the trailor would probably last about 30 seconds.

it was pretty radical.

we also did the front cover for it. it was a picture of jekyll and hyde both bulging out of the legs of one man, to give the sense of 2 personalities. it also showed the title (jekkyl and hyde), as well as the stars featuring in the movie. (yet to be decided)

and the story board was of a trailer for the movie. it was an enjoyable process to 'story-board'.
