Final Design Of Film Title

The image above is our final design for the title of our film. Kiera made the title by screwing up some paper and then shading it in grey which makes it more effective. The letters which spell out 'Smile were written on a piece of paper and then cut out and then we place them on the shaded bit of paper. To make the title look like it's for a horror film, Kiera made it look like it was dripping blood or some strange unknown liquid. We decided to shade the 'I' in red as this gave it an eerie feel to it and left the others letters white so this will stand out. The 'I' is made to look like a smiley face so which relates to our film but it still looks clear that it says 'Smile'. The reason we decided to place the letters on the paper and not stick them down is because you can see the shadow from the letters which gives it a 3D effect. Overall I think the title is good as it's unique and will stand out for the audience if they walked past it on a poster. 

Smile Script

This is the script for our trailer. This includes all of the speech that is featured in the trailer. Next to each line we have written down the persons name who part it is so that it's clear to understand.

Film Poster Credits

This is the film poster credits which Anna created on Photoshop. The text is in the font Tajan Pro which makes the text closer together which makes it look like a successful film. Also by using the Tajan Pro font it allows a lot of information to be included in the credits. In the film credits the different roles featured are the production companies who made the film, the name of the film, who is starring in the film, the producers name, the editors name, who created the sound, the writer, the directors, who did the makeup and finally who came up with the costumes. 

Animated Storyboard

The video above is the animated storyboard that Anna created for our trailer Smile. Anna used Toon Boom Storyboard Pro 5.5 to create the animated storyboard. This includes all of the scenes that are featured in the trailer and includes the characters.

Trailer Story line

Kiera and Anna are out shopping and their final stop is at House of Fraser which they don't find anything they like. They discuss this while walking out of the shop back on to the main high street. They continue walking towards Roseberry park which is on their way home when they come across Charlotte who they have never met before standing by a tree which has a missing poster up of Emily who has been missing for a year. Charlotte is complaining to someone on the phone about the poster and that it needs to be taken down as Emily isn't going to be found. Anna and Kiera overhear the conversation so they decide to approach Charlotte as this has made Kiera angry as she is talking about her best friend. As Kiera and Charlotte start arguing an undercover police officer is in the area and goes over to them asking what the issue is as they are being loud and causing a disturbance in the park. Anna and Kiera decide to leave it and walk away and continue on their way home which is when Kiera spots Emily out of the corner of her eye and asks Anna if that is her. Anna thinks Kiera is seeing things and its just her imagination tricking her into thinking she is there. Just when they continue on their way Emily opens her eyes and has multiple wounds on her faces including a gun shot wound and a carving in her face. They don't realise that the police officer is also possessed by something unknown and that they plan on killing Anna and Kiera.

Production Title Ideas

For the production titles which are featured at the start of the trailer have have included photos that we have taken ourselves so we don't have to worry about copyright. We have decided to use two images as we have two productions companies. Have have to choose out of three photos that are shown below.


This is our first idea. This was taken by Kiera when she was playing football and in the background the sun is going down which gives it an effect.









This is our second idea for our production titles. It shows the sun setting. This image is the one we like the best as it includes a range of colours and would look effective for a production title.




This is our final choice. This one is much more simple compared to the other two which we thought would be different as we have never seen a production title like this before.

List Of Shots Used

In our trailer we used a wide range of shots and angles to make it effective for the audience and what will make them want to watch the film. Each shot featured in the trailer will have a different effect on the audience. Each shot has and angle has a different effect in the trailer.

The shots used in the trailer are:
Medium Shot
Long Shot
Close up
High and low angle shots
Extreme close up


By using a high and low angle in the trailer they will be effective as a low angle shot will show that the character in the scene is in danger and is vulnerable and a high angle shot will show the power someone has in the scene. By using a medium shot this will show a good view of the location and a fairly good look at the characters facial expressions and body language. By using a close up or an extreme close up this will show the audience a better look at the characters facial expressions. When using a long shot in the trailer this will show the audience the location and the characters whole body which gives a good view of their body language.

The low and high angles are one of the most effective especially as they show who has power and who is in danger as this is used a lot during horror trailers.
