22nd - 26th June

This week we have been analyzing different horror trailers, we each had to pick one horror trailer to start to do our own analysis of, looking at mise-en-scene, camera shots/angles, editing and sound.
The trailer I picked was Cabin in the woods, in this task I have to look into conventions of a horror trailer and by looking into this trailer i have a wide understanding of what conventions of a horror trailer include and how to spot them.
This preparing me for when I rejoin into my group and we begin to plan our own horror trailer.
Towards the end of this week we were also given a task of doing an analysis of a film poster and of a film magian front cover, I have chosen the film poster 'sinister' as as soon as I saw it I could tell it was a horror film poster from the conventions it had. The magazine front cover I chose was an Empire" magazine front cover of Captain America and this helped me build my knowledge of key words such as 'masthead' and 'cover lines' and how these are important to a magazine front cover.
Our media department also in this week purchased a green screen for us to use over our A2 course to widen our creative knowledge even further, learning how to use it effectively. This is a video of our class putting up the green screen-
