Research and Planning: The Test

This is a test I did in a small group for my advanced portfolio in media studies. We had a choice of doing either journey, chase or interrogation. We decided as a team to video a chase around the college premises based on the horror gene. My role of this group work was the acting part running around pretending to be chased. With the filming and editing we tried our best to make it realistic specially with the sound clips e.g. psycho theme tune. Stephanie and Laura helped with the editing on the I Movie application and Stephanie took the role of recording.

For cinematography we have used birds eye view, high angle shot, medium close up, mid shot and point of view shot. The edits we have used are fade, straight cut, black out and a ripple effect in 1:14 of the video. We have put a sci-fi effect on majority of the trailer and at small parts a x-ray effect to give it that scary look so it reflects the horror genre. Also speed of video is slowed down and speeded up at certain parts to flow with the psycho theme tune. We have done one part at a fast speed and the clip going backwards which helps make it creepy from 1:23 to 1:25.
