Once I heard this track I thought it could be really good for the purpose of the trailer due to use of natural sound and the Gothic build up into the chorus, once into the chorus the audio picks making a very dramatic sound which in theory could match up to the jump cuts.

This soundtrack is one created for another trailer however I really like it as it is very dramatic and could really fit into our trailer. However we also need music to match those scenes that are not jump cuts and as dramatic for example in the opening scene where there are slow panning motions used to show the area in which the trailer/movie takes place also known as the establishing shots.

I feel this song could be used at the beginning of the trailer where the teenagers are enjoying themselves at the campsite. As it is a very stereotypical song as well for teenagers - this will give use another problem though because this way we would have to make the two soundtracks mix into one another as this track could not be sued throughout as it would not be suitable for other scenes such as where the jump cuts come in on the running scenes later on in the trailer.
Friday the 13th trailer:

I really like the audio from this trailer as I think it could fit with our trailer, for example this natural sound such as the river running and the owl noises. Which would benefit us as at the start of our trailer we are having a similar setting where by the scenery is shown through panning movements of the woods tree line and the river running.
Chainsaw Massacre - The Birth:

This is the soundtrack we have chosen to use as its connnotations bring to mind the idea of horror, when shown to an audinece they all said it was powerful for example in the soundtrack there is a load bang in it and this links to when the unknown figure suddely moves across the camera lens. The soundtrack begins very quiet as it builds up in tempo. It will require some from of editing to get it to match up to certain scenes such as when the jump cuts come in we have had to crop the soundtrack down so that it matches the timing. However worth the time and effort as it goes really well as the tempo is very high and allines with the jump cuts in the trailer. It also works well in the closing of the trailer for example it fades out along with the trailers ending. It plays on the mind and builds an atomphere and from our research we have done its the exact effect we are looking for.

Magazine Mockup
This is the magazine mock-up I have created for the part of the marketing process for Forrest Massacre. The Incentive will be stretched across the top of the magazine this is done throughout magazine covers as it is part of a house-style. The incentive will say something like "Free Forrest Massacre Poster Inside". This is important as its in the word it incenses people to read the magazine. The next feature I will talk about is the Masthead.
The Masthead other known as the magazine title (Elite Films) will be is big red letters standing out to everything else on the magazine including the film title, It will be placed at the the top of the magazine just below the magazines incentive this position would not move whatever edition of the magazine it is due to it being house-style, I know this from the research I have done on the past for magazine front covers of movies.
Next on the magazine cover will be the splash headline other known as the movies title "Forrest Massacre" this will be in the same font seen in thee poster and also the trailer as I am attempting to keep a house style to the marketing process for Forrest Massacre.
This will then be followed by a strap line also known as the films motto "WELCOME TO THE WOODS" this will be used throughout the marketing process also as it will become a way for the audience to recognize the movie.
Another feature used on all magazine front covers is a bar code this is just a standard item to have on magazine they all do it however some have the bar code on the back of the magazine but I am only tasked with crating the front cover.
Finally the last item on my magazine is the use of pugs - these are just very small items of text that will be related to the contents of the magazine for example I will have to mention other movies such as I will use a subheading saving PLUS which will be followed with a list of other stuff in the magazine for example Taken 2 exclusive.
The final part of the magazine front cover which could be seen as the most important part which changes from edition to edition is the photo. I hope to get an image that is a mid shot as the magazines I have seen in the past are medium shots as they seem more personal about the character rather than the film in general.
Poster Mockup
This is the mock-up of the poster I have created, after looking through a variety of film posters for a variety of movie genre's I have come across a similarity or several similarities these are the features they each had a masthead, billing block (cast list and production company), strap line, production company logo and finally a age certificate. Therefore if I was going to be conventional about this I would apply them also - guess what I did.
Firstly the masthead I will use is still to be created however I know that I will apply it to this poster the magazine and the trailer creating a house style for the whole marketing process. I feel it is important to keep to the same font throughout as it will be important to the film success as if the font changes the audience will not know what to compare the movie to.
Next I will talk about the use of the billing block, this is where all the cast or at least the majority of roles will be and also the production company is located. It is important for a movie to use this feature as it is a form of advertisement because people could watch the film if there is a recognizable company pushing the movie or also a actors fan base may watch the movie. However I also noticed a standard to the billing block as all posters seemed to use the same condensed text.
The strap-line - I have made the decision to use one of these on my poster as I feel that if I use social networking sites to also push the success f the film it would work in my faviour as my audience use many social networking sites as it is "mainstream".
The production company logo's relate to the billing block also another form of advertising.
Finally I will be using a certificate on the poster which is used to persuade the audience about how old they have to be to see the film. This is not a advertising feature as such however it is necessary to have.
The image I will reflect horror as I hope/plan to use an low angle shot to make the character come across as dominating and threatening and the character will be dressed in costume.
Venue Release Forms
These are the required sheets that need to be filled out, they state the actors is happy to play the role and there contact details. As you can see I did not have any hassle with these as all actors where happy to carry on to be in the trailer for "Forrest Massacre".
