Film Title

With our film we were stuck with what title we should give our creation; the main two ideas that we came up with were ‘Beneath the Trees’ or ‘The Picnic’, when we asked a round group of people the scores were equal and so there was no clear winner. Between the both of us we the decided upon ‘The Picnic’ as it seemed more eerie and seemed to show that something had gone wrong by using 'The' in front of the ‘Picnic’ this also signifies that something big happened to change what once was associated with a peaceful activity to one of horror and of suspense. The reason to why we did not use 'Beneath the Trees' was because it was too telling that something was going to happen and it seemed to be too in your face about it, were as 'The Picnic’ seemed to be more subtle and still had a link to the original text but not completely so that it made it more original.


Screen Grabs

This is a selection of screen shots taken from the Apple Mac computer; which were then edited together using Jasc Paint Shop Pro, this highlights the amount of filming that it takes to create a film trailer, with it also indicating about how much time and effort that went in to capturing the scenes, due to the quantity required to complete the trailer.

Basic Music for the Trailer


This is the basic Teddy Bear’s Picnic song; this will be slightly altered to be able to fit the different aspects of our trailer; this could be simple things like changing the speed or the octave that the music is played in, or there might be slight differences in some of the notes that will add suspense or seem to ask a question to the audience whilst at the same time echoing the tune played previously.

Studio Logo


The Studio Logo was created on Macromedia Flash Professional 8; how it was created was by using different layers as each slide had a slightly different image this allowed the Logo to give the effect of writing itself, this was a slow process but it allowed the image to look more professional and more advanced, and with the calligraphy style writing it seems to look more spooky and fits in with our genre type.
