Font

I think in order to make this film successful, a font is needed which is eye catching and audience would know straight away that it’s from our film, just like Scream 4 did, I will try to find a font which is suitable enough to use.

After some time of researching what font would be most suitable to use for our film trailer and bearing in mind it needs to link into horror, I have decided to use a font called ‘chiller’.This looks very creepy, and would suit our genre.

Trailer Update - 15th October 2014

On the 15th of October 2014, Dan and I went to take some location setting photos for our trailer. We traveled to London, up to Highgate Cemetery, where we spent around 2-3 hours taking photos and discussing between each other and planning what we would like to do for our trailer. We had to pay £4 for entry to the cemetery, this is due to there being famous individuals buried there such as Malcolm McClaren, Karl Marx, etc. Throughout the day, Dan and I did some video blogs to update the audience of our blogs, to show them where the location is and what it is like to be in our position. These video blogs (Vlogs) will be placed on the blogs in the next couple of days.


Here are some pictures off the internet of what HighGate Cemetery looks like. We have our own photos that will be uploaded in the next couple of days too.

Our Certificate Research - 15

For our film trailer, we have decided to make it an overall 15 certificate, this is due to the audience we would be presenting to as they're mainly some of our peers or maybe younger.  Also due to the research of our genre, horror films/found footage horror films are classed as 15+ films due to the horror, gore and violence within the film. Due to the audience being our peers, we made it aimed to be for teenagers and young adults. Between Dan and I, we decided to make the film a 15, as this is due to our film trailer having gore, violence and the language may be not appropriate for those under the age of 15. So we said that it would be a reasonable idea that we made out film a 15, rather than an 18, as an 18 rated film would be too extreme for the audience.

Film Certificate - 18

If a film is rated 15, it means that no one over the age of 15 is allowed to view it, even if accompanied by an adult. These films can include more gore, harder swearing, more sexually explicit scenes and more. They tend to be taken more seriously than the lower classifications, as they are primarily aimed at an adult audience, with no attempts to please anyone younger. A lot of films that are aiming for the teenage audience cut out a lot of their violence in order to appeal to a wider audience. 'The Hunger Games' cut out seven seconds of violence in order to stick with its target audience and to allow teenagers to watch it. A similar cut was made in 'Taken 2', which is an interesting example, as the first 'Taken' film was rated '18'. 15 rated films do well because they attract a wide range of audiences, by sacrificing the younger years, they attract far more of the older generations, who, after all, are the ones with the money. This would be a good rating for our film to be, as it could include a fair amount of gore and swearing to make it more realistic, while keeping with our target audience.

Film Certificate - 12

12 rated films mean that the audience has to be over 12 to be able to watch it, or they can be accompanied by an adult. These films are a significant step up from 'PG's' as they can include a bit of blood and they are allowed mild swearing. These are the borderline of adult films, as they are the start of getting into more serious topics, but they are still very mild. 12 rated films tend to appeal a lot to a teenage audience, as they allow all teenagers to see it, however this means that an adult audience may be reluctant to go and see it. The James Bond franchise is an exception to this rule, however, as it is an accepted franchise that is loved by all ages. 'Licence to Kill' was the only Bond film rated higher than a 12, but nowadays would probably be considered a 12.

Film Certificate - PG

'PG' stands for parental guidance, meaning that people under the age of 12 should not watch it without the consent of their parent. PG films are a slight step up from U films in the sense that they can subtly reference drugs and sense and nudity is allowed, but not in a sexual way. PG's are still not very explicit in any way, and are still aimed at a young audience. Again, I do not think that this would be a suitable genre for us to do, as it would not appeal to an adult audience, and they may not think that it is serious enough for them.
