Story Board For Our Next Scene, Evil Awaits
This is one of our last scenes for our trailer. We had some difficulties with the sound, as the camera of my work partner wasn't that good in recording the voices, so we had to borrow a microphone to record our voices from that scene and then put the voices on top of the trailer, this gives a sense of a more professional look and the voices have improved.
Story Board For Our Trailer, Evil Awaits
This is the storyboard we have created for our trailer. The actual finished trailer might be different for some scenes from this storyboard, but this was just a rough idea in how to present the shots and write down some ideas and conclusions.

Presentation and Audience Feedback
This is a video showing us showing the presentation to the class, talking about the background information, what we have thought for our trailer and explain how we are going to film it; we have shown some of the techniques we will be using whilst filming our trailer. We have chosen 'The Blair Witch Project' to link with our trailer, this is really good because the film is a low budget film and some of the camera techniques that they have used links to what we are thinking of using for our trailer.

Pitch For A Short Film
Title for my short film: Run Away
Genre: Horror/Thriller
Props/Settings: In a big old house, forest, clothes, knives (weapons), fake blood.
Target Audience: Both genres, 16 - 50 year olds.
Description of the film: A young teenager called Amy Yail is left alone in her house, her parents are out for the night and leave their daughter behind to take care of the house. She is an only child so she is left completely alone. Later that night she invites two of her friends. She hears weird noises at random times around the house but she remembers the house is quite old so she is not that bothered about the strange noises. Carl and Sarah arrive to her house, they've planned to have a night in around her house watching films and gossip, however, she doesn't know someone else is in the house.
I will be using various techniques to create the scene. To begin with there will be a long shot focusing the house and then moving slowly closer to the house focusing on the door, the door opens and will show the family talking in the house. I will be using medium and close up shots, to show the emotions people create when scared so tension builds up throughout the scene. Props will be used for dead bodies, blood and the damages caused all around the house.
