Research and planning tasks
1) State the genre you have chosen - horror or coming of age drama.
Horror
2) Analysis of film trailers of chosen genre:
- Enigma and creation of tension and suspense
- Violence and gore
- Font and effects apply to horror genre
- Clear established narrative with main plot established
- Lots of low key lighting which establishes the horror genre
- Jump scares used in trailer
- Horror sound effects to intensify scenes
- Lots of low key lighting which establishes the horror genre
- Mise en scene fits genre
3) Write a 250 word statement of intent for your film scene. You should also discuss what representations you plan to create (either reinforcing or challenging stereotypes) and how your scene would appeal to an audience.
4) Storyboard at least five key shots from your scene, take a photo of the storyboard and upload it to your blogpost. What visual style are you trying to create? Storyboard sheets are available in DF07.
5) Write a shot list containing EVERY shot you plan to film AND additional shots to create flexibility when editing.
Medium shot - Mostly use medium shots when focusing on character and establishing narrative
Close up shot - Close up shot of phone for revelation of disequilibrium
Over the shoulder shot - When character is viewing messages and when going to open cupboard door
Establishing shot zoom in - Set the scene and open the clip
6) Plan your mise-en-scene: what iconography are you including to ensure your audience understands the genre? Plan your cast, costume, make-up, props, lighting and setting.
Setting - bedroom : makes the scene more personal and will make the character appear more vulnerable, especially in their own home and comfortable space.
Main character - female, as it will be filmed at night make up and costume is not crucial
Props - phone
Evil character - face will not be seen but hands will be evil looking
Lighting - Low key lighting, lighting will be quite dark as it is going to be filmed at night

My aim is to produce a 1-2 minute video that fits the horror
genre. The narrative will use a combination of traditional horror with a more
modern twist, incorporating social media into the main plot. The main character
will come across a post on their social media feed which determines their fate –
they will be faced with an unwanted presence. I will reflect the horror genre
using traditional conventions such as low-key lighting and effective sound to
heighten tension and create suspense. My
target audience is more of a teen/young adult audience – the incorporation of
social media in my narrative would appeal to a younger, more modern audience as
we do not usually see social media being a main feature idea in horror films. The
fact that the main character in my film will be a teen reflects the main target
audience as they will be able to relate more, especially with the use of social
media. Using relatable characters would allow viewers to imagine themselves in
the same position, thus increasing the sense of horror and fear that is
created.The main character in my video will be a female which reinforces the horror film convention of mainly female protagonists being used as they are seen as more 'vulnerable' and 'weaker characters' compared to a male.
