Titles

When creating the titles we used Adobe After Effects. The first four titles we use are shown above. We kept these four titles cohesive with eachother as they run one after the other.


We used a preset title animation which slowly fades the writing on as we decided it fitted best with this part of the trailer as it is quite calm and so is the music.







When we got to creating the next two titles the mood of the trailer has changed and it is made more tense. Therefore we changed the next two titles two a different preset animation that capturted the powerful yet strange mood within the trailer. For the main title 'Daisy Chained' we also added a still image of a daisy. We then made it moving by editing its postiotion step by step on After Effects. The use of the daisy created cohesiveness within the production and making it slowly fall to the floor linked in with the falling of Daisy (main character) herself.







For the final title 'coming soon' we used the same animation as 'Daisy Chained' but kept it very simple and didn't add extra images or effects. However as the title appears, the words 'coming soon' are whispered over the top to create a suspense, creepy mood.

Music

The music that we created on garage band was inspired by the children's nursery rhyme 'Daisy Bell' as we liked the idea of the child like quality juxtaposing with the subject matter. To recreate the nursery rhyme, we used a keyboard piano to easily play the notes in a sequence and set our own timing. We used single notes to create a greater impact towards the creepy atmosphere and i think this was very successful.


After establishing the note sequence, we experimented with backing sounds such as 'cloud breaks' and 'reflective strings' to match our thriller genre. The cohesiveness of the music was important as it needed to match the conventions of music in real media texts. By mixing different sounds together and repeating them we found that a slow tempo with long sounds increased the anticipation that when put with our footage, would altogether build the tension within our audience and entice them to want to watch the film when its later released.

Facebook advertisment

We created a Facebook advertisement page for 'Daisy Chained' as we wanted to promote our film and allow our audience to keep up to date with our progress. Social networking sites are a great way to get feedback from fans and followers and gives our viewers a chance to find out a little bit more about our film and the opportunity to ask questions and voice theirs opinions with wall posts etc.
