Location

We have managed to come in contact with the Arts Director of OVADA. We are now pursuing for this location in hopes we'll be able to get our footage as the Warehouse scene is a crucial part of our trailer. 

Ancillary Text

In the process of preparing for our Ancillary task, we have started running some research and analyzing posters and magazine front page covers for our film. We've looked closely at the following poster and studied what features are present and why. 

• Laura Mauvey’s Male Gaze- The main protagonist posing suggestively, targeted for male audience
• Sensual colour schemes- To reinforce the sexual image
• Heavily sexualized
• Misc-en-scene suggests school environment but altered to emit uneasiness (Hand in trapped between table drawer and lid)
• Horror, the hand trapped in the school table
• Indicates the character’s personality
• Sporty font- sporty, cool kids stereotype

After looking at this imagery, we've concluded that our movie is not a like to "Jennifer's Body". For our main protagonist is a man and the aim of our film is to attract active audience. Thus, we would like our poster to give a way as little as possible not to comply to stereotypes. So, we found another film which we thought we shared more things in common with, the recent remake of "Carrie" 

 

We found that regardless of the supernatural aspect of the film.Our main character can be more associated with Carrie and so we used these posters as inspiration for our own ones.

This is our first try...
