Horror opening - first cut


This is the first copy of my film:

strengths:

  • It is within the time limit - 2 mins
  • Builds tension
  • The colouring changes from dark to black and white


Weaknesses:

  • The clips do not flow and so, need to be edited more
  • Some audience members did not understand the use of the black and white
  • You can hear wind in certain bits
  • The little girl looks at the camera
  • Institution logo needs 
  • The music needs to be added properly
  • The video quality of the video is low

New script

Jess: *Phone rings, answers phone* "Hello, oh hey Jon" *Pauses* "yeah, we're fine, Lily's just playing in the sitting room." *pauses* *takes pen and post it note and wrote down information* "So, two o'clock tomorrow at the airport. I'll see you then. I love you, bye."
*walks through the kitchen to the living room, looks shocked* "Lily?" *turns and worriedly looks around the kitchen, goes through the door and rushes to the garden* 

Lily: "Can Mummy come too?"

Jess: *just behind the child* "What are you doing out here little lamb, I thought you were going to..."

Lily: "Teddy says I'm waiting here for him to get back, he says that it's cold where we are going and that I should get my things ready." *packed bad beside here*

Jess: "Darling, we aren't going anywhere, you're thinking of tomorrow when we pick up Daddy up from the airport."

Lily: *yells* "No, not you, you're not coming Mummy. Teddy says that you can't come, it's just me and him! Teddy says we aren't coming back Mummy, he says we're going forever and there's nothing you can do about it."

Jess: "That's enough! Go inside, right this minute young lady."
*Lily runs inside* *Jess walks through the door to go to the living room, the front door slams shut.* *woman screams: "Lily!"* Jess walks through the door to go to the living room. The front door slams shut.* *worriedly says: "Lily" *




Missing leaflet



Here is the missing leaflet that I have used at the end of my opening. I will be filming this section on the Knights Templar School field. And will stick it onto roughly five trees.

Institution

Ideas for institution:



Final institutions:


I will use Lionsgate as the first institution..


Lionsgate has done 478 horror films. They even have their own horror film institution page:

I chose Lionsgate because it is a well known institution and has a lot of money backing it, meaning that the budget of the film would be high. Due to the good reputation and high amount of funding available the film can have star actors/actresses to bring in a wider amount of viewers. The funding also means that high tech camera's and editing software can be used.


Hide and Seek Productions:


I am using my friend bethan bird and filming in school. She will close her eyes and place her hands in front of her face, then open her hands and eyes and the name of the production company (Hide and seek productions) will flash on screen.
