Research and Planning Targets

Spend a little bit of time revisiting some posts and adding some theoretical points using specialist terminology. Is there any more detail you can mention to explore genre, representation, mise-en-scene, camera composition and editing. You need to share your schedules and plans for filming and then make them happen. This evidencing of time management is important if you want to achieve more than 16 marks out of 20.

More than Human - Outro/Credits



Here is the finished video for our outro for the trailer. This was created on Sony Vegas 11, with the help of some YouTube tutorials on how to create these effects.

At the start we have warned the audience to ‘Be prepared for the horror within’ so they would think that there is still a lot to come after the trailer. That saying really makes it seem as if it’s a horror film and it is very scary.

After that we have included the date the film would be out, and social networking trends so # sign on twitter e.g. #morethanhumanmovie so the audience would mention our film and word of mouth would get around and market our film for more viewers. As well as telling them to like us on Facebook so we can keep them updated with any quests and games we will launch to market the film using any sort of campaigns.

The last bit of the outro includes everyone who was part of the film e.g. the directors, actors, productions companies etc. as they need to get credit for their work.

We have added sound to this, to make it more dramatic and to have more effect on the audience, although I think the pinnacle point of the outro is the screen shutting off at the end of the trailer as if its the end.

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.
