Jacob was the did the drawing of the title, making look quite modern, whilst Whitney-Anne decided to add blood behind it so that people know it's not just an ordinary cult. Whitney-Anne drew the "Splatter" on the page and also placed the logo on the page. Fadeke added everything else from the little captions such as "They will catch you" to the pictures of the characters.
THE TITLE.
The title of the movie is in bold letters. so that it is eye-catching. The colours used are some of the main colours that will run through the trailer, poster and magazine. the blood and shadow effect was done to make it stand out even more than before. We made the header look quite up to date and modern by using a graffiti font to design the title, just to give it that edgy feel and look so it's eye grabbing.

TODOROV'S THEORY APPLIED.
Equilibrium.
•A group of friends decide to hang around college to have fun and mess around. They don’t really have a core reason to be there, they just thought it’ll just be a fun thing to do as there are no teachers to tell them what to do. |
Disequilibrium.
•Charlie (final girl) is reluctant to the idea but stays anyway as they are her friends. On deciding to use the restroom, they all decide to play a prank on Charlie by hiding so she can search for them around the college. As Charlie notices their disappearance she panics and goes around looking for them, where she discovers a cult. |
Resolution.
•Charlie is caught and is given 2 choices either she lives and joins the cult or she will be forced to watch her friends get tortured to death one by one. After a series of torture she finally gives in. But we have no clue what is to be done to her friends. |
CHARACTER PROFILES.
The character profiles are included with a brief description about the roles they play, their characteristics.
The pictures were printed out, (digital media) and we applied Propp's theory about each of the characters.
The final Girl: Charlie. 18 years old. Charlie is the final girl of the movie, who allows herself to be captured in order to save her friends. She focuses on her education and lover friends, doesn't really have time for boys. She is seen as the goody two shoes and throughout the movie she tends to make the right decisions as to her friends.
The helper: Max. 18 years old. Max is the stereotypical "stoner" in horror movies, instead focusing on his studies his heart longs for cigarettes and his Nikon, taking pictures everywhere he goes. Max tends to be a bit dopey, so therefore ends up getting captured first by the cult members. Max does try to help Charlie but fails.
The alpha female: Justine. 17 years old. Justine is the stereotypical Alpha female, who is more focused on her looks, friends and social status than the important things in life. Justine is very popular, but is best friends with Charlie as they have known each other for years. Justine also has a thing for Dion. Unlike the other characters that get captured Justine gets herself killed by cult member.
The main male: Dion. 18 years old. Dion is the stereotypical Alpha Male who is adored by everyone (including the audience). Dion is very athletic, plays a lot of sport and is very talented, he lives, breathes and sleeps in the gym making sure he looks very attractive. Dion does love to watch his appearance similarly to Justine. Typically in horror movies the alpha male and alpha female tend to have a thing for each other.

OTHER...
We also decided to add a certificate, theme of the trailer and the sub-genre.
The certificate tells the audience the age limit for the trailer. We decided to go with 18+ reason being 18 - 25 tend to be suited for horror movies and they are more likely to watch it.
|
Adding the sub-genre on the page at that size makes sure it is not missed by the audience. the target audience we are reaching out to love splatter movies, so this would generally interest them even more to watch the movie.
|
We added a theme so the audience would know what the movie is based on with having to read to the synopsis as that give away a lot.
