Map Edited Images

To add to the mise on scene of the trailer, we decided to create a "map" mapping out the killings that took place, and who was murdered.















It also gives one of the character's names "Victorr Thistle" He has this name as the 14 murders he has committed, each victims first letter of their names spell his name - this is why he has two "r"s in his name. This could maybe convey something like the case of Jack the Ripper where two people were killed in the first night but he was disturbed whilst murdering the first victim and found another victim with the same letter, therefore giving him two R's.


Joe used After Effects to change some of this.

To give the effect that the first letter is significant, I created a new title and selected a blue circle over the first letter of the Letter

I then placed a black box over the top of the image, this allows the images around the selected letter to be black so more en thesis is placed onto the text

I then used the effect "Colour Key" and selected the colour blue. This changes the layout and lets the blue circle look like it has been present. It makes it look a lot more important and makes the viewer really look into the letter

I then added a fade effect which makes the images interlink so it was all one video.

Ideas for movie poster


After looking at movie posters, I felt inspired by the "Shutter" movie poster. So I did a mock up of a possible movie poster, using an image of Taylor's face, with a montage of other images taken in the building we filmed at. I used a desaturated image, and changed the levels and used the burn tool to get a "burned out" effect on the image.

Analysis of movie poster company credits


To be able to make the company credits at the bottom of a horror poster, I looked at existing ones, so that I could determine exactly what information is in the credits.
