More Than Human Intro

Here is the finished video for our intro for the trailer. This was created on Sony Vegas 11, with the help of some YouTube tutorials on how to create these effects, which would be shown on a later post.

Underneath the title ‘More Than Human’ we have included our slogan ‘The Horror Within’ so the audience we are targeting is given a clue. I believe this will appear better and give the audience an impression that this film is very serious, and high quality.  

Our own production company - Paradox Entertainment

Here is the finished video for our production company, called Paradox Entertainment. This was created on Sony Vegas 11, with the help of some YouTube tutorials on how to create these effects, which would be shown on a later post.

Paradox Entertainment was founded by Daniel Malamud in November 2013. It is currently compromised by two sub divisions - Paradox Studios and Paradox Cinema.

Paradox Entertainment saw the success in the first movie released and decided to produce another film, this one being a horror film, 'More Than Human' - Release date 2015 (TBA)
The video above shows our finished product for Paradox Entertainment, this sets the mood for the rest of the trailer. I hope you enjoy.

Pre-Editing - Tutorials - Smooth Transactions/Use Velocity - Sony Vegas

In this video below, is a tutorial on how to use Smooth Transactions and the Use Of Velocity in Sony Vegas. This video would be able to help us use a more smoother and faster range of transactions, meaning that from cut to cut or frame to frame, it is more smoother and hopefully giving us more marks for the use of editing. I personally think that after watching this video, it would help us get a better grade as from shot to shot would be smoother and due to the increased velocity between the transactions, would add more tension for the audience.

Pre-Editing - Tutorials - Black flashes - Sony Vegas

In the video below, this is a tutorial for Sony Vegas (which is the program I am going to be using for the editing of our trailer) on how to add black flashes to your video. I've watched this video a couple of times and I found it really useful and that it gives clear instructions on how to create these black flashes, it is also very easy to follow. Personally, I am going to be using the black flashes in our trailer as this would give us a more tense and more horror feeling towards the audience as it would make the trailer more fast paced and tension building. I also think the black flashes would be a huge asset to making our trailer either a fail or a success.

Own film Treatment - Final

Synopsis

Two teenage boys, aged 18 and 19, we're brutally attacked last week at a cemetery in the North of London. Their bodies were left hanging as a warning to other individuals not to trespass at the cemetery. Left behind was two camera's to show the world the disturbing images these two teenage boys faced and their experiences before the distressing deaths of both of them. The found footage of both of these teenagers soon leaked onto the internet and now on news channels across the globe.
We see footage being taken by the actors themselves so its documentary type trailer. Both directors James Young and Daniel Malamud star in this incredible and horrific trailer which include terrifying scary and daunting moments, aims to discomfort the audience and think of what the future could hold.
Trailer will be our January time... Brace yourself!

Codes and Conventions

The codes and conventions of our film are similar to that of an horror film, being fast-paced with fears and scares. Our film trailer involves many fearful moments. These are all typical, expected conventions in horror films. Another convention of horror films is that there is always someone to run away from or/and survive, we included this in our trailer as the guys try to survive from running away from the infected people. Lastly, one of the most common conventions of an action film that we have included in ours is death.

Starring
Daniel Malamud - Denzel Shedd

My Role in the duo (Dan and I)

Throughout our course in Media, I have the role of editing. The software I am going to be using for our editing is Sony Vegas Pro 11. This is a decent editing software to use as I am able to add a whole range of different effects that would be useful to our chosen genre for our trailer, for our genre, it is a found footage horror film, personally, Sony Vegas Pro is going to be the best software to use to help us succeed in making this a good and hopefully scary trailer, due to the amount of different effects I could use. This can give us a whole variety and there are many tutorials from youtube to help me with the editing.
