For my trailer, I decided to do different camera shots of Polly, plus adding background music and sound effects.
For the camera shots, I will have to look back at my blogs to find the camera shot blogs, this will help so when I do write about my trailer I can write down the names of the different shots I did. Another is to go to google and look up different camera shots, that way I can get other shots or if I do random ones I have a name for it. This will help give more detail on my blogs.
Research again is the music because of the theme of the trailer I need to find music that relates to horror, paranormal and thriller. Now lucky for me I know two websites, free sounds which have links to sound effects and music and incompetech music which is a website filled with different themed music and different instruments used. This will become useful because it helps with the different sound and different instruments that could go well with my trailer.
Another research technic is to listen to other themed music from films or TV shows, to get an idea of what I want for my trailer. For instant films like insidious and The Conjuring, they're both related to horror and thriller which is what I want. In insidious, there's a piece of music I like that I think would go well with a scene in my trailer,
(Between 1:36 - 1:44)
It's another reason why I should listen to it, to help get some idea's to find what music could relate or try combining a few to get the same effect maybe not the same music but the feeling you get when listening to it.
My reason to also listening to the Conjuring is because their both different sound, insidious has only string music (violin) whilst The Conjuring has a variety of instrument and choir and singers which give it their own theme. With that, it helps with coming up with my idea on combining some sounds together and to get the effect you get when hear the insidious clip.
I will also putting my trailer on a survey to others feedback about it and then make some changes so that it will be better then the first one. This will come in very useful to help make my trailer better.
Book story information
For my book, I will need to do different research for my story. These are hauntings, ghost hunting equipment, exorcism, possession because it can be used in my story and help with describing what's happening or what is being used. With the haunting, I don't really need to do a lot of research the haunting because I can use my imagination on how I want it to be. Mostly for all this, I will be using google to look up information but I will also watch documentaries for ghost equipment (Ghost Adventures) exorcism (paranormal witnesses) and possession symptoms (A Haunting). Ghost adventures because they all hunt ghost and so when they get their equipment on the screen it writes down what it called and Zak explains what it's used for, so this is very useful because it's based on real information. Again with the other two, it is told by real people so again this is very used because it's true facts told by people who experienced it or does it for a living (Exorcist)
Spirit Box (helps communicate to the spirits)
Another research I'll need to do is related to printers, a website that will print your own book out. This will come in very useful for when I finish my writing and book cover, it will also reach one of my goals to actually print my book out into a real book and hopefully look really good for my FMP. It will be done by google and choose the right website will be based on reviews and what book styles they do.
Book covers
Because I had already started drawing out what I wanted my cover to look like I didn't need to do much research; The only kind of research I needed to do is to find way to not have all the objects levelled, (I didn't want everything to be on the floor but kind of stacked so that some were higher than others). I did have trouble researching it because I didn't know what it was called and ended up getting results I didn't want or wasn't related to what I wanted. I did, however, when it came to the photo shoot, used my black shelves for the objects to go on and was able to get the style I wanted.
Another research I did (but didn't use at the end) was a way to have my dolls face so that it has a motion blur effect so that it would look like her head was moving fast. This would come in useful because it showed me what it would look like and that it wouldn't look right and gave me time to find another way's to give my front cover the effect I want.
