Task 19 - Storyboard

Here are pictures of the storyboard for my film 'The Wake'. In these storyborads I have included the time, cinematography, music and sound I will be using, also I have added sketches to briefly show what it will look like.

Below is the new storyboard, which is where we added new scenes and changed our film opening.

Task 17 - Timeline Planning

This is a timeline of my film opening which is called 'The Wake' i have included all title sequences we are using at the start of the film opening. I have also said on the side what is going to happen in the film in order and i have said which bits we are using either diegetic or non-diegetic. This will help me with the film opening because it gives us a plan of what and how we are going to start our film opening and how we are going to end it.

Task 16 - Costumes

Costume

The killer for my movie, will wear a white mask similar to this picture.  The mask will make the murderer completely anonymous, so no one knows who he is. This will resemble his personality as a gruesome and heartless murderer. In my film opening, I will show that this murderer is after a boy, and to get to him he kills his friends and family, so who he is or why he is after him will be unknown to the victim, which is why this mask will be effective, because we don't know who the killer is.

The killer will wear a black, dark hood which he will use to hide himself. He will wear the hood over his mask, so it will be hard to recognize him at night, it would be difficult to see him.

The victim will be wearing casual clothing, and his style will reflect his personality, it may show that he is young and that he represents a young social group who are students, and are everyday teenage boys who enjoy playing football and watching movies on the weekend.

Task 15 - Location

This is the house where I will be shooting my film. It fits in well with the conventions of a horror, as our main character Tony will be in the house by himself, which is a typical convention as it shows the victim is alone.

This is the stairs leading up to the corridor upstairs where we will see X (the killer), who is in the house but Tony is not aware of this.

This is Tony's bedroom, where he will be most of the time getting ready or talking on the phone during the film opening.

I have chose to use a house as my location, as it shows meaning of the film, which is a young teenager who is by himself in the house and the killer iis after him. This fits in to the typical conventions you would expect in a horror.

Task 14 - Prop List

Knife

The villain will have to be dangerous, so he will have a weapon he uses which will reflect his vicious and dangerous personality. Also a a knife will be a threat amongst the victims,so the bigger the knife the more the threat. Here is an image of a kitchen knife, where you can see it is very sharp. Also a knife is a very popular prop for my genre, as my killer is a slasher who kills his victim by stabbing them.

Fake Blood

I will be using fake blood, as this important in a horror film, because it shows the etreme pain and suffering ofthe victim. It will signify and show that the victim has been hurt violently and the blood will resemble his pain and the danger of the knife which my killer will use.

Task 13 - Moodboard

 

 

Here is my moodboard. I have used many different pictures, words and quotes from different horror movies to describe my genre. This moodboard will help me have a better understanding of what the audience should expect in a horror film, and the ideas I can come up with for my own film.

Task 12 - Mind map synopsis

I have made a mind-map, so I could incldue all my ideas for my film opening. This mind-map shows the different things I have planned for my film opening. These ideas include costumes, props, the shots I will use, the diegesis and the location. All of these things are important for my film, because it shows important details of the characters and the story.

Task 8 - Production Logo Company

This is the production company logo that I have come up with, called "Slasher Productions", which I will be sharing with my partner who I am working with for my film opening. I have used bloody effect for the writing, and used a face of a killer. I have used all these effects, so it suits my genre. What this production logo tell the audience about my company and films, is that they are mainly horror or thriller. The man represents a killer or a monster, and the blood and knife represent victims being hurt and attacked.

The job of my production company is to help produce the films and to do all the editing for the film and focus on my genre and make it suitable for my audience. My company would be an "independent" film company, because it is outsied of the "major" film studios. Major film studios are films which are mostly featured in Hollywood, and have big budgets. Major film examples ares like Paranormal Activity, sinsinster and Saw.

Major film companies mainly focus on the budgets and how many views, ratings and sales they could make.  Also the major film companies use A-List actors to help promote their film.  Below are examples of some major film production companies who mainly produce "horror" films.

Independent companies focus more on their audience and try to use their conventions to the best they can so their audience enjoys the film.
