COSTUME & MAKE-UP
Using costume and makeup will help to make the horror trailer become more effective and realistic. I will learn different make-up techniques to use in the trailer and plan out the props and costumes that the characters will be wearing in the trailer.
FILMS INSPIRATIONS
ScreamScream influenced our antagonists costume. As scream is a slasher it follows the conventions of having a masked face and an iconic weapon. Therefor for the policeman that is our antagonist we gave him an iconic mask to wear. Also we gave our antagonist a iconic weapon in which he kills all of his victims with.

HalloweenHalloween Influenced our antagonists costume as the antagonist has a iconic mask which plays with the fear of the unknown. The antagonist also has an iconic weapons in which he kills all of his victims with. In Halloween the antagonist slits some of the victims throats. This influenced the make up for our trailer by creating slits out of wax and fake blood.

Friday The 13thFriday the 13th influenced our antagonists costume as the antagonist has an iconic mask and weapon. Therefore we decided to give our antagonist an iconic mask and weapon. Friday the 13th influenced the cuts and slits we created as this is a common type of injury in a slasher horror film. So we decided to follow these conventions, allowing our trailer to be effective.

MAKE-UP TUTORIALS

EXPERIMENTS
This is where I made a tutorial on how to make a fake cut. I bought the wax and fake blood from a party costume shop in Clapham. Doing this fake cut was not hard as I practiced it a few times before I started filming it. This tutorial took me about 10 minutes to get it done.

I created a tutorial of me creating red/purple bruising on my arm. I did this by using face paint from Sainsburys. I used a sponge for this technique as it made the bruising look more realistic. This took me about 2 minutes to get it done.

These pictures are the outcomes of the different types of bruising I created using different colour face paint. For the first picture I used Red, Purple and Blue face paint and for the last picture I used green, yellow and orange face paint.
PROPS
The main props that will be used in the trailer is the antagonists mask. In slasher films the antagonist is usually wearing a mask as it portrays the fear of the unknown. Another prop that will be used in the trailer is the antagonists iconic weapon that continuously uses to kill each of the teenagers.

CHARACTER PROFILING
Policeman Antagonist
Our antagonist will be wearing a police hat with handcuffs as our antagonist is a crazy police officer. The antagonist is also going to be in all black and wearing a mask as this will give the audience the fear of the unknown. The antagonist will be holding his iconic weapon in which he kills all the victims with.
