Planning Costume: Jeff

Jeff Renellds is the antagonist of the film trailer and I thought it was essential to find the right costume and look for him as the audience need to be afraid and fear him just as Skye does. Jeff plays the stalker in the film trailer and he is shown wearing the same clothing throughout the trailer. I wanted Jeff to be represented differently because in most horror films they usually carry a weapon or a mask and I wanted Jeff to not carry no weapons and wear no mask.

Clothing

Jeff will be wearing a long dark trench coat very similar to the picture above this. I have chosen this as serial killers in typical films wear trench coats and this gives him the identity of being mysterious. Being mysterious is very scary as the audience won't know much about the killer and his motives. The trench coat hides some of his face as well.  Jeff will be wearing this coat throughout the trailer, also he will be wearing a dark black hoodie as well just to carry on with the mystery. He will be wearing dark trouser's just to fade in with the coat. 

Make-up

Jeff's face in the film is distorted as he has a long scar from his jaw upwards. The actor doesn't have a large scar but we've been watching YouTube video's to create this long scar. His face won't be shown as much like the other characters as the hoodie hides most of his face.

Planning: Costume (Skye)

Costume is very essential for the characters in my film trailer as it represents their identity. For an horror film the main protagonist in film trailer's are shown wearing ordinary clothing and their clothing is very basic. For example Sidney in Scream who is shown wearing plain and ordinary clothing and this reflects her identity in the film. The audience could relate to the characters in my film trailer through their appearance and clothing.

Skye Vello is the main protagonist of my film 'Skye'. Skye's character develops through the trailer as she is at first had an ordinary life but it gradually changes as Jeff Renellds come's back to stalk her. 

Hair

Throughout the film trailer, Skye's hair will be at first straight and wavy at the bottom and this will represent the fact that she can take care of herself and her appearance. The actress playing Skye has dip dyed hair, the same colour as the celebrity  in the image above. But her hair is tied up and its messy and this in the running scene. This shows her life has changed and she is no longer safe and that the messy  look represents her past and her past will be shown in the flashback. 

Make-up

In the trailer, Skye will not be wearing much trailer throughout the film as I want her to be represented as natural and plain. Therefore she will be wearing light pink lipstick that won't be noticeable in the trailer and some light make-up so it won't be noticeable throughout the trailer.

Clothing

Skye will be wearing two types of different clothing in the trailer. For the equilibrium, she will be wearing a dark patterned shirt and dark black trousers. I have chosen this colour's as she in the beginning of the film she is shown wearing a light green shirt and green represents happiness and black symbolizes danger. She is shown wearing black when she in scenes with the antagonist. This shows that her life has dramatically changed and so has her identity in the film.

  

Locations

Location of my film trailer is very important so I have some example images of the locations I'm going to be using. The image above is image of a children's bedroom. This is just an image I found online but the first scene will be shot in a bedroom.


This next image is of a road, this is where Skye will be walking.



Skye will be shown in a cafe, when she learns that he's escaped from prison.

The last location is unknown for now.

Evidence Of Filming

These are some stills I have print screened from some scenes that I have filmed so far.

Poster Moodboard

Conventions of Horror Poster Magazines:
Usually Low Lighting
It's usually a black background and the color scheme would be black, grey or red and the use of the colors signify death and blood so that the audience know that this is a horror film.
Shots used are mostly close up shot's of certain feature's of the character's face or disfigurements of a character's face usually the killer. But they may use long shots of a dark person's figure/shadow.

For my poster, I will include low lighting and I have decided to either use both main protagonist and antagonist as the poster or just have the antagonist alone. So that I can show the disfigurements of his face. But I may just have a medium shot of the main protagonist looking afraid and a dark figure behind her.

I have to include a billing block, image, name of the poster, release date, actor's name's and age rating.

Film Magazine Typography

Film Magazine Masthead

I have come up with a list of magazine names that I could take for in consideration for my magazine;
- Gore
definition: blood that has been shed, especially as a result of violence.
I have considered Gore to be my magazine masthead because I believe a lot of blood is usually shed in horror films and this eventually leads to death, violence etc. The audience would automatically know this is a horror film magazine because of the name.
- Enter Fear
I have considered enter fear to be my magazine masthead because fear is usually created when watching horror films or magazines, this could also grab the audience's attention.

Film Name
I have chosen Skye which I have mixed emotions about but the audience prefered this film name. Skye is the main protagonist of the film and I have named my film SKYE because this film is all about Skye and the stalker.
