Diederich - First Ideas

We looked at a trailer which we were told was similar to our ideas called 'the strangers' and developed more of our ideas on what was included in this trailer. We then came up with the basic ideas of what we could include in our trailer and also came up with a name based on 'diederich' being a german name, linking it to war, and the first four letters spelling 'died' suggesting the genre of horror.

New Ideas

After the first idea we were set on was discarded, we then discussed what types of horror we wanted to do in order to not make something which was cheesey. It was then decided, although I wasn't completely sure of the idea to base our trailer on the idea of post apocalypse and war as this would play on the creepy side to horror rather than gore. Although this isn't neccaserily conventional we thought it could work as it might make it scarier to the audience.

Developing Our Ideas - Outling A Storyline


This was our first real storyline that we came up with, we all agreed that it would be effective as a horror film as it is fairly conventional of existing horror films, until it was decided that it might be too cheesey by certain members of the group.

The Making Of My Magazine Cover


After starting my magazine cover I hid the editing I had done so far to get a screenshot of the original image which I had used from the stills we got as a group for our trailer. I could then compare the original image to what I had done to improve it and make it look as though it belonged on the front of a magazine. I changed the brightness and the contrast of it slightly to make it stand out a bit more and after I had added the other features of my magazine cover it looked like a realistic cover rather than the simple image I had started with.

Brainstorming - Initial Thoughts For Our Film Trailer

These were our initial thoughts for our teaser trailer. They are very vague but as a group we brainstormed possible ideas we could include before developing a set iea. This was helpful as we knew what kind of trailer we wanted to make and looked into what other trailers used, such as night vision and unknown figures, which we included on the sheet.
