Evidence of Filming: Rough cut

Here is a rough cut of what as a group we have filmed thus far. This is a demonstration of what we consider to be am okay representation of our narrative, there are many elements that have room for improvements such as the ending, by incorporating more scenes.

(here is a reminder of the brain storming of our narrative, i have include this video to show you the correlation between our actual rough cut and out brain storming of  ideas

What we have achieved:
so far my group and I have used a range of shots as well as effectively demonstrating how story-boarding and planning can result in an effective piece of work. Thus far within the rough cut you can see an incorporation of multiple theories begin Todorovs equilibrium theory, shown in the change of our narrative, Levi Strauss's Binary opposition, the constant reflection of evil vs good and dark vs light, Paul wells audience understanding, displayed through shots taken.

What we hope to achieve for full trailer:
Despite a clear use of a narrative, there is room for improvements in regards to making the narrative much clearer . The role of editing can also be improved such as the the transitions between clips can be smoother, by doing this it will make the trailer look much neater and more effective. The majority of our changes that need to be made are to make the trailer more easier to understand and by filming more sense this should add to the narrative of the trailer as well as showing an effective use of timing and planning .

Evidence of filming: Exploring shot types and sizes

Here is a video displaying some of the shot types used within the production process of our horror trailer. the importance of understanding shot types and sizes are simply to be able to explicitly link visuals to the narrative of our trailer, this will therefore on a whole give a more effective translation of the story of our trailer for our audience. When deciding on what shot types and sizes to use, i decided to consider some of the theories researched prior to the production process such as, Paul Wells. theory of gathering a correlation between the reaction of horror films and age. The use of this theory was vital during the specific process as, it meant trying to get an effective shot which would be effective for our target audiences. Below i will include an image of a deconstruction of a still of one of the stills captured from the trailer (what we have thus far) to show the incorporation of Wells research in our trailer production.

Evidence of filming: the creation of mask/ Villian

Here is the creation process of the main masked Villain within our narrative, after researching and observing make-up's from different avenues, we where able to create an unique masked mouth villain who best represents what we defy as scary Horror. Some of the chosen features for the Villian where initially derived from the initial name of our Horror film, the gathering, the official definition for gathering states:
GATHERING: an assembly or meeting, especially one held for a specific purpose.

With that being said the narrative describes a gathering occurring amongst a group of friends, so the decision to include a covered mouth piece was chosen to suggest and signify that villain was a silent unwanted party at the gathering event. Therefore this secretive scary element can be physically shown though the use and art of make-up.
