Production Process

Plan the production process for a new media product

In this unit I will be making two media products, one text/visual (CD cover, DVD etc) , and one for a moving image (trailers, short movie etc). For my text/visual I will be making a movie poster for a film I have named ‘ Oliver Rose ‘. I have named it this because its simple, and its also a psychological thriller, so it is sort of a mysterious name and doesn’t suggest anything that the films about, which could attract an audience. I intend for this poster to be simple also, but effective, it will have just a simple photo of the child, who is going to be played as my brother, and I will use Adobe Photoshop CS3 to edit it. Posters I have influence of are, ‘ Joshua ‘ ‘Dead Silence ‘ ‘Jason X’ etc ( secondary research document ).
For my moving image I will be making a Horror movie trailer. The film will be called ‘ Secluded ‘. I’ve chosen this name because its also simple but effective and can grab audiences easily. I will be using a lot of orchestra, mainly slow violin to increase the suspense as the trailer progresses. There will also be a lot of cuts in the trailer, like flash from black to the scene, and repeating its self to make it look more realistic ( typical horror movie ). It will be shot in the forests of Lee Brockhurst. The mise en scene will be good because you can see nothing but trees and looks like your in the middle of nowhere, the perfect location for the type of trailer I intend to make. I will need some props for this, these will include fake blood, and a video tape, that’s it. So keeping the budget low, and with the props I buy will be roughly a total of £8. However they’re just the props I have to pay for, other props I already have, for this trailer I will need a pair of old boots, old rags, axe, and an old looking hat. The videos that are similar to the one I am going to make are ‘ Joshua ‘ ‘Shrooms’ and ‘ Eden Lake ‘
Once I have to footage/stills I need, I will then work in the computer suite to begin editing. The estimated time for production will be from 12 October 09 – 02 February 2010 this includes editing. I plan to capture the footage I need in Lee Brockhurst Forest because its fairly local and easy to get too, and is ideal for what I intend to make.
I plan on making my media products by myself, primary recourses only, i.e no images off google etc.
