Interview

We carried out an interview of a member of our target audience and what she thought about our genre and film ideas...

Gender: Female.

Age: 22.

Occupation: Work in a pub.

What is your favorite film genre? & Why?

Horror, because I like the suspense and the adrenaline you receive from watching them.

What's your favorite Horror film? & Why?

Insidious. It's my favorite because it seems like it could happen to anyone as it's set in a house with a

normal seeming family until the action starts.

What's your least favorite Horror film? & Why?

Paronormal Activity. It's my least favorite because it never show's you what's actually doing the haunting which make it seem less real. It also starts weird as it's not the beginning of the story but the 3rd film is.

Where do you think a good place for a Horror to be set is? & Why?

In a house or somewhere natural, as it make's you think it could happen to anyone which is part of the bit why it is a Horror.

Where do you think a not so good place for a Horror to be set is? & Why?

A woods, it can get boring just running through the woods, unless it's set in the woods because of the things which happen. Such as in "Dog Soldiers".

Do you think a pub cellar would be a good place to set a Horror? & Why?

Yes i do, as most people go to a pub so it makes them think it could happen to them LIKE ME! or to someone who they know.

BBFC

The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) is an independent, non governmental body funded through the fees it charges to those who submit films and video works for classification. Video works are taken to include video games, films, and programmes released on DVD and Blu-ray.


Things they take into consideration are discrimination, drugs, horror, imitable behaviour, language, nudity, sex, theme, titles and photo or pattern sensitivity, motion sickness and reactions to low frequency sound.


The last house on the left was banned until 2002, and then was released cut, it was then later released uncut in 2008.
The human centipede II was originally banned due to sexual violence and potential obscenity. This film was given an official Age Certificate of 18 by the BBFC on 6th October 2011 while the distributors agreed to make 32 cuts before its release.


The certificate our film would get is a 15

It would get this certificate because it does not contain any discrimination, drugs, nudity or sex. It also does not contain much language, if it did contain any of these things then the certificate would have to be an 18. The reason we made it 15 is because it contains violence which may not be suitable for under 15's. 

Other films from our genre:

The Omen (2006) - 15

The Exorcism of Emily Rose - 15

Wolf Creek - 18

The Ring Two (2005) - 15

The best things come in small packages... well, so they say.
Eve returns to the place where her friends were murdered a year ago. The evil spirit in the cellar claims her friends and family as its next victims.
Will she be able to preserve her sanity, and more importantly, the lives of her friends.

Underworld 3 Analysis

Mise-en-scene
Costume:- Armour to show authority, Man wearing a coat with beads to show his importance and power, The boy is wearing trousers and arm selves as he is fighting, and the men fighting him are wearing rags as they are unimportant. The women are wearing dresses.
Lighting:- The lighting is very low key, this helps set the tone of the rest of the movie. It makes the movie seem like it had a 'darker' tone to it.
Actors: There is a mix of ages and genders in the film.
Make-up:- There is dirt on some of the fighters faces, but that's all.
Setting:- The film is set in a castle with dungeons.

Camera
To start with there is an establishing shot, followed by a mid to long shot of the men in armour, there is then a close up through the bars to show the emotion then a medium shot of the same man. There is then another close up to show the emotion of the man. There is a long shot later followed by tracking establishing medium shots from different angles due to the speed of the fighting.

Editing
To start there is a little animation bit and after this the establishing shot of the setting fades in. It is normal speed with slow editing. The editing then gets quicker in the fight scene, this also has slow motion bits including the jump and hit followed later by the boy catching the arrow. It also has jump cuts. The titles appear at the beginning, and follow one after the other. The werewolves are also edited in.

Sounds
Diagetic:- The growling and roar of the werewolf, the door clicking followed by the shot of the arrow this is then followed by a growl and then a baby crying, and the crossbow click but no shot. Then the door smashing shut. It then jumps to the boy landing on all fours with a small noise, there is then the fighting sounds such as "argh" and "ourgh". Finally there is an arrow shot and then dialogue. The dialogue creates enigma to what is going to happen next.
Non-Diagetic:- Quiet music which creates suspense. Then you can hear the men and their army sounds. Narration at the beginning to set the storyline. Lightening also helps set the mood and tone of the movie. There is then a windy sound followed by a build up of sound which adds suspense.

PRIEST Analysis

  

Mise-en-scene

Lighting: Low key lighting to make it more intense.

Actors: Approximately aged 20-30, one woman who gets killed in the first minute to show weakness of        women.

Make-up: Crosses on their foreheads.

Props: The little metal cross thing and daggers hanging from their pockets.

Setting: Set in a cave, this is the main setting through out the film except the animated bit.

Camera

To start with there is an establishing shot which sets the scene of the exterior.

There is a pan of the cave which again sets the scene of the interior.

Close up of two people which shows emotion and their speech.

POV of tunnels and then zooms a little, makes you ask what's down there, creates enigma.

Hand-held shot when running to show panic.

Close up of hands, shows relationship.

-Animation part-

At title zooms out a little.

Editing

Normal cuts, you can focus on the film and storyline.

The cuts get quicker when the vampires attack.

Blacks out between shots.

Animated bit.

Vampire creatures are edited in.

Sound

Diagetic: Thunder, Dialogue, walking and their feet on the floor. Weird breathing sound, dripping, clink of cross when he take it out his belt, screech, scream, screech of vampire's, a man falling on the cave floor "huh", grunting then "arghhhr".

Non-diagetic: Drums, quiet music --> echo sounding. Music quite fast paced but low sounding, music  gets more intense and louder, music changes to deep. Narration of animation. Sounds that go with the animation (roar's ect.). 

              

Target Audience

After analysing data on film audiences from the UK Film Council, it is clear there is a potentially large market for us to target. Almost a third of cinema goers enjoy Horror films. with 15% saying it's their favourite genre.
Looking at demographic data it appears that we should be mainly aiming our product at females under the age of 35, although it is popular with males as well.

Horror genre conventions

•Location – Usually somewhere haunted for example an abandoned house, a forest.

•Low key lighting.

•Production logos are generally edited to fit the mood of the film.

•Fast editing generally, although sometimes they can be slow for suspense.

•Characters – male – scary / female – vulnerable.

•Costume/ make-up – bloody/ torn, etc

•Sound – music that sets the mood, dark music, deep sounds to make it scarier.

•Props – there is generally some kind of weapon, either as a murder weapon or for the victims to defend
 themselves.

Pitch

Feedback
Idea 1
        They said it was quite a good idea, these are some of the questions asked...

• Where will it be set? - A quarry
• Is it practical? - it can be done but some changes might have to be made.
• Do you have reliable actors? - Some but were looking for a few more.

Idea 2    
         They said this idea sounded quite exciting and original, they wondered how practical it was...

• Will it all get into two minutes? - yes because it will use fast editing.
• Will it meet opening conventions - titles, music and lighting set tone.
• Name? - Havent decided on a name yet.

Out of the two, the one they preffered was idea 2, this is our favourite aswell and it is the one we have decided to go with.

Ideas for our film opening.

We really like this video - the opening from Se7en. we think it is interesting and we might do something like this. I think this opening sequence has a lot of enigma and it makes you want to watch the rest of the movie.

For our film opening weare thinking about doing a horror movie. we want it to be creepy and raise a lot of questions. for the music we want to get a cover of more human that human by white zombie because we think it goes well with the theme of our movie. We are going to have low key lighting because it is a dark and creepy movie...
