Choosing an image for the poster - Abi

This is the image we selected for the poster. We thought that it would work well as the composition meant that there was plenty of room for the title and additional information, however enough of Clare's face and special effects makeup were in shot to create the dramatic effect intended. The colouring also meant that black and white titles, a common binary opposition of thrillers, would be clearly visible, and the blue tint to the wall is another common convention of thrillers. The inspiration for this image came from the poster for avatar, which has elements of a thriller, and is a well remembered poster.

The first very rough edit - Emma, Abi, Tom

Trailer (very) Rough Edit 1 from Emma Taylor on Vimeo.

For our first rough edit, we wanted to place the shots we already have in order. This is not the final order of the trailer as many more shots still need to be put in place. Tom, Emma and myself came together to do this first edit. The shots included are the school, fire engine and post torture scenes. We also experimented with sound and music, however the final edit will not have the music used in this edit.
