Amended Final Magazine Front cover
I created a mock up before editing and altering the final magazine front cover, I decided to add a 2nd image in keeping with the house style of Total Film Magazine, which helps to break up the text and adds a more professional feel.
This is my final product, I adjusted some imperfections. Also by adding an image, and banner text this breaks the magazine up and fills the white space.

Amended Final Poster
I made up a new mock-up in order to allow the billing block beneath the main image following the conventions of any other film poster.
I made some amendments on my poster in order to make it appear more professional.

Mock Ups
These are the mock ups I created before constructing my poster and magazine. The poster (right) featured an original design with the image placed at the bottom and billing block at the top.
For the magazine I adapted the house style of Total Film magazine by adding my own initial designs to their established style.

Risk Assessment Forms
Before starting the filming process we first formed a list of potential risks that could be encountered when filming, gave them a low, medium or high rating, and came up with solutions to how these could be avoided.
This meant that we were aware of risks that could possibly encountered on set and knew how to avoid them to make our production a success.

Venue release forms
Before filming in the house location we first had the owner sign a venue release form (above) to make sure we had their consent for their house appearing in the trailer and on the internet, on Youtube.
Costumes
The costumes for the main character 'Sophie' were contemporary clothing typical to the age and sex of the character, as well as the region in which it was based (Liverpool.)
We opted for a more natural approach when it came to make-up. As in many horror/thriller genres actors are not overly done up.
Using a foundation to match actors skintone, a light lipstick and brown mascara.
The ghost character wore an old-fashioned,
loose cotton nightdress.
The ghost's make up was an exaggerated white foundation to make the character ghostliness more obvious.
Props
An entire list of the props and equipment we needed for the whole production process was;
- Camera
- Tripod
- Batteries
- Torch
- Doll
- Chair
- Mirror
- Mug
- Magazine
Actors
Our first actor was the film's main character; 'Sophie.' This was played by Victoria Elliott.
The next actor was the ghost character. This was played by Christy Grady.
The final character was the main character's friend, 'Sarah'. This was played by myself.

Production Schedule
Due to several difficulties with uploading work onto the blog, one being my computer crashing; I had no choice than to post all the work I had previously done; in good time management, on to the blog in the same day.
The production schedule we drew up for the production of our trailer was as follows;

Genre of our promotional package
After analysing two different genres of promotional packages, as a group we decided that a production of the horror/thriller genre (as I analysed in Shutter Island) would be a more interesting and challenging format than the fantasy/romance genre of New Moon.
