The thing that's so great about this trailer is that everything starts off great and jolly and then a girl just starts swirling in the air then starts twitching on the sealing. This may seem irrelevant at first to costume and makeup but at the beginning everyone seems to be wearing white which could signify cleanliness and serenity and then suddenly blood and gore starts to taint this. This is how our group wants to introduce this style of horror, blood and violence.

This movie features a lot of bloody and gory scenes that will have an influence on our movie for sure but maybe not always in this manner. The scars on the victim face shows they've been wounded severely and to recreate this wouldn't seem to be difficult. This film acts an influence to our movie due to the blood and gore portrayed which we will try to recreate in our own trailer when using costume and make-up.

When looking at Friday the 13th part 3 because of the film trailer we're creating it's appropriate to have masks and jumpsuits. However because our antagonist doesn't need a mask it doesn't make sense to use it due to the way our trailer is gonna be. Also the gore factor in this film is very explicit so it'll make for a interesting and horrific trailer.
|
Blood is an essential part of any horror film but our film could possible be very gruesome so it's important that we know how to make it. The good thing about this mixture is that you can make it darker or brighter which is good aswell.
|
When making realistic blood it's important that it looks like it came from a wound or something of this nature. Also when looking it blood on an object it has to look a certain, thats a good thing about this recipe.
|
The good thing about this is that it's affordable and easy to use for beginners to make scars and bloody wounds and such. Another thing that's good is that it doesn't dry out. However, the bad thing about this is that it deforms quickly and it looks less realistic.
|
The good thing thats good about this product is that you don't need and adhesive and it's easier to blend it into your skin. Also it's very realistic on your skin. However since it's such a good product it's very expensive and it comes in 2 parts which would take time to put on.

|
The good thing about this product is that it's cheap and for beginners like us, it's easy enough to use. It's also easy to find in stores and actually use. However it smells really bad and it removes body hair which is a disadvantage.
|
The good thing about this product is that it's customisable and it can be made at home. However it's very delicate and it can be extremely hot on your skin which can cause burn risks.

(The Running Man)
(The Hunger Games)
(The Dark Knight Rises)

The main reason we looked at The Running Man is because we want to construct our trailer in this way, when it comes to filming and how the costumes look. The main reasons we did it this way is because:
1. The jumpsuit is simple and unique 2. Easy fit, quite bright and colourful 3. it's plain The Running Man is based on a game show in which prisoners must run to freedom to avoid a brutal death, we tried to incorporate this into our film by making our character use jumpsuits and our trailer is based around working class citizens being gentrified and being forced to play in this game created by the government. But mainly for our trailer we were inspired by the jumpsuit as they stood out, making our trailer differ from the others. Also the main character played a brawn, strong man and in this situation our trailer illustrates how different types of people deal with pressure when it comes to death so in this case you'll have the nerd, the gangsters and the women who are seen to victims and second class citizens.
The Hunger Games has also influenced how our characters dress and even the outcome of our trailer. First of all we tried to model our costume after the hunger games as it's in uniform, but since we didn't have the budget to spend sufficient amount of money we settled for a jumpsuit style attire. But in terms of our script and such we modelled our trailer after this, in terms of the setting we shot our trailer e.g. in the woods. The disadvantages of modelling our costume after The Hunger Games: 1. Outfits too expensive 2. Weapons Unrealistic (Can not Afford) Bane, a character in The Dark Knight Rises, is one of our groups favourite antagonists so we tried to incorporate his character into our film in some way. The mask he wears is very intimidating and distinct compared to other characters in other films so we decided to shape our antagonist "The Host" after him buy giving him a mask to make him seem more individual.
Disadvantage of modelling character after Bane: The only disadvantage of modelling our main antagonist after Bane is that He's mask is very intricate and detailed so to sculpt it like this will be very difficult and even if we wanted something like this it'll be very difficult to make. |
This is a short video showing the spray painting and customisation process of making the knife. This is one of the various weapons used in our trailer. And in this short cut we needed to use silver spray paint to overlay the colour of knife to make it look extra real.
Our main inspiration behind using knives is from the characters of Michael Myers and Chucky. They are notorious for being deadly with this weapon so this is our inspiration behind using it in our trailer. |
