The Mangler
The Mangler | Robert Englund | Ted Levine | Tobe Hooper | Movie Trailer | Review
The start of the trailer is very effective as it jumps straight in by letting the audience know what the film will be about - a machine that could be haunted. The eerie music at the start is very effective as it immediately lets the audience know that this movie will be scary and involve horror. The machine is obviously not human which creates a more effective type of horror as we get the impression that humans will not be able to stop it. At the beginning we see this man at the top who has a part of him in the machine, he suspiciously looks over the machine, this camera angle and voice over are effective as they scare the audience, the man is shown to have metal legs or something that causes him to walk strangely. The names and credits on the trailer are in red typography that is very effective. We may use a typography similar to this in our trailer as we think it is very effective. The drops of blood that are shown to the audience when the men are talking about the machine connote death which is happening in this movie. The voice-over mentions that 3 masters of horror have created this machine, this gives the impression that they are killing people via a machine which means they cannot be caught. The audience are left thinking what is going to happen? Who will be killed next? these are questions that they want answered after seeing the trailer which means that they will want to see the film.
CHANGE OF PLAN 2
We attempted to film our practice music video today and when we imported it into Adobe Premiere pro we realised that it didnt look very good and we werent sure whether to follow the codes and conventions of rap music videos, this lead us to change our minds and are now going to do a trailer again, I will continue my research that is at the start of my blog into trailers, sequel trailers and the posters. We regret our decision to change to a music video as we feel we have wasted a lot of time where we could have practiced and put together a teaser trailer for the sequel of our film 'FUN HOUSE' however we will continue researching over the summer holidays and think of some ideas for our trailer fro 'FUN HOUSE 2' then when we return to school we will put together a practice trailer and continue with our filming.

Its nothin'
"It's Nothin" - Jay Cro (Treatment/Producer/AD) from Adrienne Williams on Vimeo.
We have also found this video which has gave us some ideas for effects to use, also it has gave us some ideas on different ways to add in cartain camera angles and techiniques. The main effect is the split screen, this is a code and convention of hip-hop/rap music videos, it is also used in J-lo's song control myself with Ll cool J. We may use this effect when editing our final piece.
Deadly Medly
"Deadly Medley" - Black Milk x Royce da 5'9 x Elzhi (Treatment/Producer/AD) from Adrienne Williams on Vimeo.
We are still researching and we have found this video which has gave us a few ideas on things to do in our final piece; such as the different camera angles and effects.
Practice music video decision
We have decided to usethe below song, we are going to film one day next week, we have our ideas and we are going to use some of the special effects available on Adobe Premiere Pro to get the effect of the Fast Lane video that I recently posted. We are going to so the video from around 53 seconds to 1.20. When we have filmed and edited our practice video we will post it on our blogs.

Music Video
BizzMan Live in the Studio! by BizzMan & Connor P
We have decided to use this song for our practice music video and we may use it in our final video. We were not sure if it would be copyright to start with as it uses a sound effect from Beyonce's song Girls (who run the world). We have listened to it and we now know that the sounds have been edited and therefore it is not copyright. However we are going to get a letter from them to show their permission for us using this song. We are now deciding what we are going to put in our movie.

Fast Lane
Eminem & Royce Da 5'9 (Bad Meets Evil) - "Fast Lane" [TekniqueTheKingpin.com] from Teknique The Kingpin on Vimeo.
We have been looking at this video and we think we could do something like this, we feel it would give our music video a twist and makes it unusual as it doesnt follow the codes and conventions of normal music videos. In our practice run we will attempt to do this and decide whther we are going to use this technique or not.

Music video idea
We both like the first song however we are not sure whether there may be some sounds that are copyrited so we will have to get in touvh with the people and find out. However we may not use that song. We are currently listening to the songs and thinking of ideas for the videos for each song, we should have a deicsion made soon. When we have a decision we will start to plan our practice piece.
Freestyle
BizzMan & Dano - Mike Lowery Freestyle! by BizzMan & Connor P
We have just listened to this song and think it is quite good as it follows the codes and conventions of the songs that we have researched however we think it is quite fast and it would be hard to do a video and think of a storyline to do.

Ipod
BizzMan - iPod by BizzMan & Connor P
We have had an idea for this song, we could use a storyline in the video of a person who feels he should be famous just carrying on with his everyday life and seeing what happens etc, we could use small clips of his everyday life and then have something big happen at the end. But still we may just use another one of the songs I have posted we shoudl have a decision soon.

CD is dead
BizzMan - CD is Dead (remix) by BizzMan & Connor P
This song has been made entirely by them so we may use this, however it is very short and we would have to decide what to use in our video for this song, if we do not use this song for our final music video we may use it for our practice run and then see if we have any ideas after doing that. We are still thinking of the route we want to go down for our music video.

Unorthodox
BizzMan & Connor P - Unorthodox (Full Version) by BizzMan & Connor P
We like this song and might use it for our music video, however the tune in the background is the proper song which may be copywrited which means that we will not be able to use it; unlike the lazy song where the backing tune is played on the guitar by one of the people singing it.

Lazy Song
BizzMan & Connor P - Lazy Song (Full Version) by BizzMan & Connor P
We think we might use this song for our music video, we like this song and have had some ideas for what to include in our video, however we are not certain yet we may use a different song.

Update
We now have permssion to use one of the songs what we have been looking at. We are still deciding what song we are going to use. We have been thinking of things to use for our videos and what we are going to include.
We are also going to begin planning what we are going to use in our practice run and what we will include in the video for this. Our research has gave us some ideas however we are not sure whether we want to follow the codes and conventions of hip-hop/rap music videos or go against them and create something unusual, it is most likely that we will follow them and portray certain stereotypical ideas in order to appeal to a lot of people.
