Bed scene with psycho girl watching over their "friends"

When comparing both bed scene film clips within both mine and Roommates film trailer we are aware that this scene is used to help show the Psycho girl in action becoming a stalker! I feel that my trailer shot of this shows great detail of the girl stroking the other actors face but also she has a strong and consistent facial expression in which represents the psycho girl very well. Roommate have placed this scene in a soft blue lighting which is shown in certain area's within the scene to help add suspense to the scene adding onto the thriller effect in which shows a great tension within this scene compared to my groups scene as it is placed in a normal daylight lighting in which does not link with the movement within the scene as great as if placed within a harsher colour would add a better atmosphere within the scene which would of worked better with the thriller film genre.

Titles during each film trailer to represent a new "friendship"

Both of the above screen shots represent the titles on both my film and "Roommate". When comparing both film titles i feel that both titles are used in the same size writing in which is eligible for viewers to read and not to big in which make the title over exaggerated. We chose to use a plain black background with red writing in which helps to identify that this film has elements of thriller in which is represented well threw these colours, The Roommate title is used in a much subtler way with the use of dark blue with white writing in which does not represent the thriller film genre as quickly in which makes the audience wonder and question more what type of film this could be? They have also placed the word "Friendship" in capital letters in which represent how the film narrative is to do with friendship, this is also seen threw how bold the writing is and that the words "Brings new" is underlined by a white soft shadow in which is linking the words together. I feel we could of created a better title by using other techniques in which would make the film trailer much more interesting by using a softer choice of colours would help make the audience question what the film is about rather than knowing from the start!




Shot of both actors stalking the other girls and beginning to become jealous of others talking to her.

When comparing between my film and roommate i found the shots are very similar, when comparing i have realised we could of filmed a bit more closer towards chloe to get a much more detailed facial expression and quality piece of filming.


The film titles

From comparing the two film titles i am able to see that our film title "Fatal Twist" is to big compared to "Roommate". Their film title also includes extra effect from the shadowing at the bottom of the door but also a contrast of colour from the blue and the white used, this ads to the thriller film genre. We shall be changing the size of this when adding in our institution of "Warner Bro's" at the beginning of our film.
