Possible Locations

 One of the locations that Charli had suggested was Severalls Mental Hospital which is located in Colchester. Although this location would fit into our genre and be an ideal setting for a horror movie we came to the conclusion that this location would not be possible. As we have 7 memebers of our cast all travel to this location as it is a fair distance away from Harlow, it wouldn't be possible for us all to get transport. When also researching the location on Google it showed us that the area was actually shut off to the public and it wouldn't be possible for us to get inside the building. With the dangers surrounding the building, we also had to think of our own health and safety and whether or not it was going to be safe for us to film in the surrounding areas. Although it looks like a good scenery for us to film, it was not realistic of possible for us to attend this location to film the scenes that we wanted.

The Ouija Deal Ideas

These are a few ideas that we started of with. when thinking about the location we need to be realistic. We need to take into consideration the journey and how accessible the location would be for every cast member to get there. We have also looked at the variety of genres that we are able to explore as we already know that we want to create a horror movie trailer, but their are many different genres within Horror that we can choose from. We also need to research different make up and photography ideas as it will add to the effects and hopefully assist in making our movie trailer more professional.
The main idea is not in as much detail as we plan to add a variety of ideas that all three have came up with to develop the story further.

Film Titles

As a group we came up with five different titles that we thought would be acceptable. To get an idea of what other people thought about the titles as well, we each carried out a tally, asking 10 people what they thought was the best one. Overall, out of the 30 people we asked, The Ouija Deal came out favourite for Charli, Remi and I. As a result of this we have decided to call our movie The Ouija Deal.

Superman Swede Trailer

This is our Sweded Movie Trailer of Superman that Remi, Charli and I created. We learnt a lot while creating this short swede, it gave us an insight on how to use iMovie, as it was my first time using this software. By creating this short swede movie trailer we have learnt different techniques such as transitions, trimming the clips, adding sound and other various tools we used to create this movie trailer which will help us when we come to make our final piece of our own movie trailer.
