Filming Footage

This is a short video clip of Joe explaining about the clip we was filming at the time of him filming this video.

History of Horror

I did some research into how horror has changed over time and compared out films, to how new films are these days.

Horror films in the silent era



From this video clip, you can see how much horror films have changed since the late 1800's. Horror films then, were not really as scary as these days as you can see from this video. Horror movies in the silent era were, in my opinion, not scary at all as there is no noises to freak you out or make you on edge. This video just shows how important sound is in horror movies as it takes the whole element of horror out of it.



Horror films in the 1920s

From this picture you can see that since the 1800s, the horror films started to change a lot, as instead of having unrealistic characters that make it not scary at all, they started to use scarier costumes that actually add a sense of horror to the films.










When horror films started to get scary





 

In the late 1920s horror films started to get creepier and scare people more, from this clip of dracula, you can see how much films had changed from the 1800s. The films still werent as scary as films these days but they were starting to work up to that.

The late 1900s



This trailer of 'Dead Alive' shows how much the idea of horror changed, horrors these days are much much more scarier than what they used to be, they are a lot more gorey and scary for people that watch them. From this research I have learnt how important sound is in horror films and that it takes a lot more gore to make a horror film seem more scary. This has helped me in my main task because now I know what to inlcude to make our opening titles are scary as possible.  

Our Titles

 




Too make our film title we used premeire elements, as thats what we are making our film on and its better to use as its a good editing software and is easy to use.





This is our finished film title, we decided to use fair ground type writing as it would fit into our theme of the scary clown. We liked this font the best as it stood out to us more. We used the deep red colour for the font as it represents blood, and this is what our film will be including, because of the clown that goes around killing innocent people.

Editing Our Opening Titles

 

 

On this clip we made the time shorter to make the fairy liquid move quicker
 on the knife so it looked better, if we didn't make this clip shorter
 it wouldn't have looked as good.

These are some pictures what were taken of us of evidence of us editing
our horror film opening.

Sound Effects

Here is evidence of our sound that we used in our horror film opening. We got the sounds off of a royalty free website.
