Pitch Reflection
Within my pitch I reflected on my idea and mentioned how each code and convention I have researched was going to be used so that horror film opening was effective. Moreover, I mentioned the location of my idea and also the props and colours that connote my horror film will be tense and hook the audience.
After this, I received feedback form my class, whom give me advice and positives of my work, whilst asking questions too.
The first concern was the use of a knife, which may be risky to use where I am filming. However, the knife will not be real and safety will be heavily reinforced whilst filming. This also raised the second concern because I need evidence that I am allowed to use the old primary school in which I am going to film. Furthermore, I need to research my sound and I have been given advice to use garage band and I have also been recommended a website called, www.looperman.com. I may also be giving away too much of the narrative at the start, but I will ensure not to do this as I have researched other horror films and learned the techniques of making a horror film mysterious.
However, I did receive lots of positive feedback from my pitch and following the codes and convention from my research was one of them. I was also told from the majority of my class that I am very well organised, links to the audience and strong research supporting my idea. These are things I am continuing to improve as well as all the advice and concerns my pitch reflection has given me.
I looked on www.dafont.com to research some possible fonts and compare them to each other.
I then clicked on the 'Horror' section and looked at possible fonts to use. However, I came across 'cheesy' fonts that didn't really appeal to my target audience's choice.
Here are some examples:
Personally, I felt that this is too bubbly and over the top for it to be used as an inter title. This is because the other horror films I have researched use certain fonts that are vague, because they want to suggest that horror films aren't meant to be fun, but enticing and scary.
Again, this is very similar to the first font, and still has to much to it for it to be scary, but instead something you would use for a silly effect rather then scaring someone.
In my opinion, I feel that this font is far more relative to the other horror film's I have researched because this font has that very vague and edgy look, suggesting that the film is not 'bubbly' but more serious and tense instead.
