Our group has all contributed to the collection of soundtracks to be included in our Trailer. The vast amount of ideas being brought forward shows the groups work ethic and commitment.
Here is an example of each of the Soundtracks to be included.
(Below each title there is a link to the music on YouTube)
1. Dead Can Dance - The Host Of Seraphim

2. The Wrestler Soundtrack - 01 Gymnasium
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyOIWZb-WU0
3. Death is the Road to Awe
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91GcPnjrGdE
4. Requiem For a Dream
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSY4Yi2ypno
However our group might want to decide to use minimal music due to our trailer wants to capture the dark side or dark feel of a movie. So the minimal music help to create a more startling prospect for us to make the viewers want to watch the movie and also the conventions of a documentary is to have less music. So we might want to carry that forward to ur production if needs be

~SOUND EFFECTS~
Our group has completed almost half of our voiceover, so we must know search for realistic sounds to be included in our trailer. Furthermore the college user access is limited so many sites for downloading sound effect have been blocked. Hence our group has received some support from Sarah to help and locate some sound effects from here Mac Book.
Below is a list of all the sound we hope to include in our trailer.
· School bell: To create a school-time Atmosphere and to make it sound like we are actual inside a school and have that sense of students rushing home.
· Leaves rustling: To give the park scenes a more naturalistic feel and to make the viewers visualise the whole scene and so add to the tension on screen.
· Birds Singing: These will also be include in the park scenes so the background ambience is not to artificial looking and the sound would be quiet to allow more natural sounds.
· Heavy Breathing: This sound effect will be used to show the dead body been dragged from the leave area and is also a convention of the thriller genre.

~MEETING 9TH DECEMBER~
On the 9th of December, our group had meet up after college to talk about our trailer. We wanted to try and complete all the filming that we need for our whole trailer. The shots that we need where the following; the popular boy uploading his work to Mac and the final toilet scene where the popular boy is cornered and beaten up.
So the group had booked the camera so complete the whole recording footage part of the trailer. So Suhail was the camera man telling the popular boy (ME) who to act and where to position myself so the shot would look interesting and more innovative. As a group we decided to complete the whole process of capturing footage because we wanted to leave sufficient time to other task like the
· Editing.
· Sound.
· Captions.
The whole plan is to complete the recording part before we break up for the Christmas holidays and leave the rest of the time to focus on the above topics. The group decided that next Wednesday 16th of December we shall totally complete the remainder of our trailer so we will do the scene were i am lying unconscious on the floor and being attacking by a mysterious figure after being accused of the killing of the girl. Whilst next week me and Suhail are going to complete the beating up scene, Hina and Sameria shall be focusing on the captions and trying to complete and finish them so there is no unnecessary time they are wasting and valuable time is saved and used effectively. They both will be using Photoshop to add the distributors logos and production companies logo so our trailer
To conclude this week’s meeting, everyone was involved in the valuable scene that needed to be recorded and each member of my group know exactly what the need to do and complete for our trailer and finally we decided to film the remainder of what is left to film next Wednesday before the Christmas holidays.

~THE TRAILER CAPTIONS~
Here is a selection of logo's and captions we can use for our film trailer so the film trailer look conventional with the same codes and conventions as other trailer in the movie industry . These logos have been located and slightly readjusted to fit our trailer precisely, so the whole group had found these logos
The UKFC is an Independent film Distribution Company backed by the UK government to establish educational films and furthermore they are in partnership with the lottery to fund low budget movies to make more in-depth movies.
This is another Independent distribution company well known for distributing films for example like “The Lovely Bones” and “Paranormal Activity”
This is cut from the actual main poster that Hina had created for her coursework. This movie poster was created on Photoshop so you can manipulate the texts to fit the specific genre your making your movie for eg (HORROR)
Filmfour represents a niche audience so produces the independent films whom has less money to spend overall compared to the huge multi billions of dollars the Hollywood production company have to make movies.

~MEETING 2ND DECEMBER~
Our group had a group meeting on Wednesday 2nd December, during this meeting we had planned to get Sam our teacher in our trailer to do some Voice over for our clip due to our footages sound was slight fragmented and the sound was barely there only shrieks of sound. So Sam performed some voice over in a variety of different accent to firstly see how his voices sounds and secondly how it will blend in with the trailer.
Furthermore we wanted Sam to also do they voice over for the captions for example “Cannes films festival award winner”. However not being too harsh but Sam’s voice was not deep enough so the group came up with a second person to perform the voice over for captions. So we asked the English teacher Michael to perform it. Also Michael voice was perfect due to his voice is deeper and sounded more conventional like the movie trailer voice over's.
Finally Hina took the camera home to record the remaining scene of her family members and neighbours questioning the popular boy and asking questions.
