Research

During the process of making my trailer, I decided to watch some "real" videos of ghost caught on camera to do with children for some inspiration. This video helped me come up with some ideas to play around with some old children's toys such as a rocking horse, toy box, dolls house and a maybe a rocking chair that would be found in the new house that my characters move in to.



This video may be fake, but the whole idea of the toys moving on there own and towards the end when the TV turns on, on it's own and then the rocking chair moves faster, adds a creepy atmosphere.
Currently I have got in touch with a local vintage shop that has all the products from the old era, such as old fashion clothing, tea sets, old sewn toys and many more. This shop has given me permission to go over and borrow a few items for a day. The things I have borrowed is an old rocking horse, a spinning top, dolls house with the dolls and items, an old teddy and a metal trunk for some items to go in it.

Here are the objects that I have borrowed and the shop it belongs to:

From this image you can see some items that I have borrowed from the shop, such as the Old Trunk, The old teddy bear and a spinning Top. I also borrowed a rocking horse which I used further on in my trailer and an old dolls house, which my audience can get a perfect view off:

Update- Changes to my cover

Due to the change of actors from my previous post, I have had to change my front cover as the girl I had before, never actually featured in any of the filming. As you can see, the design is the same, as I was attached to the idea of the girl reaching out to the Audience, grasping help before she is dragged in the shadows. I am currently indecisive about whether or not the new actress will be in Black and White or not, due to there not being a lot of colour that really stands out, however the fact that she is Black and white, does add the feeling, that it is the old fashioned films of 1960's trying to reach out to the modern era. I have also change the "Exclusive" part as I felt like even though the yellow stood out on the magazine, it seemed to attract a younger audience, which isn't what I am trying to achieve. So instead, I am going for a simple, bold and bright stand out word that should attract my main audience. 

Feedback:

• "I prefer the left version, the girl on the right looks out of place and just put there for no reason, but I do like the way the one on the rights hand is more forward and her face looks more affraid than the one on the left"
• "I don't think the "Top 50" should be in black and white because it's easy to miss that it's there and doesn't do it for me"
• "I like the one on the left more, she looks more surreal than the one on the left, plus she doesn't look like she's just placed there"
• "Hmmmmmm I like what you are trying to accomplish with the black and white, but I like the one on the left better"

Recent Updates

I have had to change quite a lot of my course work as my two main actors have changed, meaning that my front cover will have to be done again, but with a different person. I would like for them to have the same pose and position as it works with my layout, but I may have to play around with different ideas. Within changing two actors, I've had to find a replacement for my main character and my little ghost girl, I am currently filming now, but I have changed my ideas from now having two ghost girls who are sisters. This works better than my original plan of my first ghost girl.  The little girl that I am using is younger, therefore works better when it comes to playing with my audiences mind.

Urgent. Feedback needed.

Hello, may I please have some feedback on these sayings. Which ones do you think is most disturbing for two ghost girls to say during a ouji board session:

Can you help me?
It's dark in here?
It was an accident?
Don't leave me
We didn't mean to do it
I just want to play

Thank you.
