Reflection Of My Blog

I have been given feedback on my blog by one of my fellow peers in my Media class. This is what they have written on what I have done well and what I need to improve on. To improve I am going to post weekly with more detail to make sure I am up to date with the number of blog entries. At the moment, I have posted 13 times (this being my 14th). I hope to reach the target of 60 blog entries by the end of the year by updating my blog more often.

Locations

We have chosen a little girls bedroom to film most of our shots in. The room is pink, meaning it is stereotypically a girl's room. The colour pink also suggests the girl is innocent and naive.

Props

We have decided to use a china doll which possesses our main character. We have chosen this as it fits with the stereotypical scary/creepy look that a china doll gives. Our main character picks this up from a charity shop then it begins to possess her.

Social Networking

I have used social networking sites such as Twitter to gain publicity and to encourage people to look at my work.

Horror Trailer Main Actress

We have chosen a stereotypical, blonde girl to play the main role in our horror trailer. We have purposely chosen a girl who appears vulnerable and innocent as these are typical horror film victims who are possessed. Our trailer will be based around the likes of The Possession and The Exorcist which also feature vulnerable young girls who become possessed.

The Possession (2012) is based around the young girl (above) who becomes possessed after buying an antique box from a yard sale. In the film, she wears a white night dress which is the typical costume for a young girl in a horror film. We are hoping to follow the same conventions of costume for our trailer.

The Exorcist (1973) is based around the young girl (above) who becomes possessed by demons. In the film, she plays the stereotypical young girl who is the victim of the possessed. We are hoping to follow the same conventions of costume and actress for our trailer.
