storyboard bloody fishing

Preliminary task

Activity 2

In horror films the characters that are affected are normally teenagers.  This is because the target audience tends to be a young audience.  In our film we have a group of teenagers who are going to a lake to go fishing,  the killer in are group has anger problems and loses his temper easily, his friend ferg is a normal teenager but his mums friend has a son who is a bit odd and the killer (Robbie) hates him and ends up killing him because  how clumsy and stupid he is.

Activity 6

To make our project, the main part of it was using a computer and a editing package called adobe premiere 10. It allowed us to use adobe premier elements 10 to edit and make our opening. Within adobe elements  to make our opening more professional we focused on production credits and used additive flash to make them most effective. Also we edited our initial clips that needed shortening and put them all in the right order. Adobe elements also allowed us the insert sound effects for example the gun sounds when the shot is fired in our film as well as music over the top which helped to conform to the horror movie. On the computer we also used blogger and our research to try and get our task done to the best of our ability and to update our progress.

Activity 7

From our preliminary task we learnt many things which enabled as to improve and make a good opening for our film. One thing being match on action, we experimented with this and got use to how it works, this meant we could use it effectively in our final project.














Another thing we learnt from our preliminary task was how to use shot reverse shot, this is commonly used when two characters are having a conversation. Our preliminary task allowed us to get used to this and meant we could put it to good use in our opening.

In our production we used white writing on a black background. We did this because this is very common in this genre of film. Lots of Horror movies us it as its very simple easy to do. Also the simplicity of the whole shot with some creepy music can make it very effective as a scary point of the opening two minutes.





This screenshot from our production is to show the scenery/setting. As you can see there is a pond and lots of woods. We did this as often films are made in the woods so this was a great place to set our production. In the woods it is very remote and potentially quite scary. However the pond is a twist as their isn't usually so we have something different.

This is my screen grab of an example of special effects in our production. It is a typical example of a production credit. As the when it plays it has additive dissolve, this effect makes the production look and feel more dynamic, as they do in multi-million pound movie's.  

This screen grab of the bag is to show camerawork. This show our camerawork is good   as i am searching looking through the bag for hot chocolate, the camera has the angle i would have myself. Therefore so it looks like the audience will be looking through my eyes from my perspective.






This screen grab introduces the characters. It introduces them as typical teenagers. The shot we used gives all the characters equal standing.The positioning stops everyone from knowing who will be killed, and who will be the murderer.

The genre of our film is horror. We chose horror as we were told it was one of the easiest to make ,however it was a very difficult film to make, as we had to create tension and suspense. Also an atmosphere needed to be present otherwise the horror is not effective.
