Horror Photography

 We found this picture when searching for horror photography on Google Image. It really caught my eye because of it's simplicity but completely eary nature. This inspired us for a scene in our film trailer where a character will be getting possessed.

 

This next image we liked because of the mystery that surrounds it. It tells a story yet leaves you thinking and waiting for more. This instantly made us think about how we were going to end our trailer as after watching many in our planning we found that each one is always secretive and full of suspense. With seeing this we decided that we would be putting a shot like this into the trailer for The Ouija Deal.

Horror Photography: Daniella Tunstall

Daniella Tunstall is a well known horror photographer who has an online portfolio showing her work.


With a rough idea in mind for what sort of horror movie we wanted to produce we thought that it would be a good idea to look into some horror photography. This wasn't just to give us some ideas for the trailer itself but for the website we are going to produce for the movie.
The reason why Daniella Tunstall caught my attention was, not only did she have a lot of work on the theme we wanted to focus on, possession, creepy girls and gory shots, but they also gave us inspiration into how horror photography does not have to focus on blood and gore but you can take something simple and twist it into something different and creepy.

First Draft of Trailer Script (The Ouija Deal)

After our research into different horror movies, scripts, trailers and the ways they are put together we came up with a rough draft of the script. Initially we planned to have the story line focused around the same characters as this script but we decided to change the storyline and setting slightly as in originally we wanted it to be a sleepover, the whole movie taking place over one night. We knew this wasn't practical and how we planned to portray the storyline in the trailer would have given away too much. Instead we have kept the same idea of the group of teenagers messing around with a Ouija board only for one young girl to slowly get taken control of by a demon and attacking her friends. 

There are still changes to be made, and we are planning to go over the script with the cast so they can too have an input into the trailer.

Movie Logo Designs

After deciding on a movie name, I came up with this as an initial idea for the movies logo. We knew there would be a recurring symbol of death throughout the film so I homed in on this idea and found this alchemy symbol which means 'to die/ death'. As a group we decided that we wanted so,etching simple but effective so though we plan to make some changes this is the design that we will be going for. 

Movie Company Name Ideas

As we knew we wanted to do a horror movie we decided that we wanted to focus our company on this genre in particular. I brainstormed a few different ideas after researching into the sort of things movie companies are called. Our list included a variety of name ideas including, Morgue Productions, RCL Productions, Between the Eyes and for Sure Film & Co., but the one we went for in the end was Sombre Productions. This is because it sounds like a horror movie production company so it is instantly recognisable. It is memorable and reflects the sort of film in which we are hoping to produce.
