Identifying possible questions - M2.

Possible questions.

When we went through the pitch we found that the original script didn't contain any context about the demographics to the sub-genres. This is important because specific sub-genres can appeal to different audiences. We needed to include this because the BFI may want to know about 'our' specific target audience. With the original script they would only know about the horror genre. We also decided to add a part about more recent films at which female protagonists are more prominent, this allows us to identify that the target audiences could be possibly changing to more females. As a result, we decide to expand on that answer so that the gender could possibly be females soon. As a result, if the BFI ask for more recent examples for this and if they ask for how genders and target audiences has changed, then we got a perfect example and answer to this.

After going through our original script, we realised that we had not included details about our influences for our film. This information was added in later because we believed that it would help to present to the BFI about where we intended our film to go, how much it would cost and what meanings we hoped it would hold. By showing that our main influences were more classic horror films such as The Shining, Alien and The Exorcist we hope to show that we want to draw more on nostalgic feelings. This would also make our film stand out from current horror films as this more classic feel would be continued through the editing and sound engineering. As a result of this, we hope that our film would stand put enough and draw the BFI's attention . We didn't specifically talk about our influences in the script and powerpoint, although we did show images of these influenced movies in our script and plan to use it to show that we thought about our influences.

I did my points (Finance and budget and Audience Research in bullet points and notes.)

Our film is called Trespass - it is a jump scare and gore based horror with certain tropes of the psychological genre mixed in.

The poster is a simple design with the name of the film and a patient from the asylum that the film is mainly set in. This minimalistic imagery will hopefully be eye-catching to the public. We will also use social media sites such as Twitter as it will be easier to gain interest for the film. We had the idea of promoting by dressing someone up as an asylum patient and sending them out into the city centre, taking inspiration from Carrie and the White Walkers from Game of Thrones.

• Our target audience is people who're interest in the thrill from the adrenaline rush. This is from the fear that's given from these movies.
• A common age demographic for psychological horror would be: Teens and young adults, this is between the age range of 15-40 year olds.
• Yet, this doesn't mean that other people are unable to enjoy them too.
• The genre and sub-genre appeals to both genders, it allows the audience to experiment with their fears and emotions.
• Yet, most of the recent horror movies have featured female protagonists, therefore most horror movies could be focusing on a female target audience.

We aim to achieve a minimum of 18 of possible 35 points in multiple ways. The first section is based on cultural content and entails the film being set in Britain and the main actors being British and therefore we'd like to think that we would be able to pick up multiple points because everyone involved on the production of this film is British. Likewise, in the final section which focuses around the cast and crew - we aim to collect more points there.

• We don't have to spend too much - Most items are given by school.
• Items are: Macs, cameras, tripod, final cut pro x and the internet.
• As a result, we don't need to spend much, only things we need to buy are props and clothes.

Strengths and weaknesses - M1.

Strengths and weaknesses of the group in general and work.
 One of our key weaknesses of the production would be that we are basing the movie in a mental asylum. This is a main problem since we are in a school and yet have to make the scenery seem like it's based there. This will been hard to conquer. Although, I have an idea where we take a corridor after school, close all doors and put up old wallpapers over the posters, this will make it so that the place looks rundown and that no one goes there.

Another weakness would be that the main actor is myself, I will be in every shot that takes place I believe. This means that I must be present for all recordings. Therefore, if I am to be ill, then we cannot do any work. So, that's why my presence would be a problem. I must always be present for the recordings which means if I'm not, we could fall behind rather quickly.

Although, a good strength of our group would be that we are a small group and therefore, we don't need that many people. It makes things in the group a lot less chaotic than other groups that are making movies.

Finally, another strength for our group would be that our group has good chemistry since we're all friends. This means that we will all be able to work well together as a group with a minimal amount of arguments. Also, we will then be much more productive together and make a good use of our time.

Strengths and weaknesses of our initial ideas.
I believe one strength for the idea of the 'A Nightmare In Elm Street' inspired movie would that it'd be easier since the opening won't require one person, therefore that person won't be relied on for all the filming. Also, I believe I can play more evil characters than ones who should be scared, I feel like it's rather hard to play as scared character but it's easier to be the other. Next, I believe the setting for this idea is much easier, since for an insane asylum we must cover an entire corridor in newspaper which seems like a large fuss and will spend between 10-30 minutes depending on our productivity and the importance of the work.

The strengths and weaknesses of the idea where I spit out blood would be that the movie seems much more realistic. Although, the weaknesses would be that it's hard to maintain a 15 rating movie with a movie where I spit out blood and it's full of gore. Also the contents could damage my body and could be bad for me. As a result it's good that we are not doing this idea anymore.
