Genre research


Font research


Font

Some people said it looked like something out of a music magazine, however on a black background, which is what it will be on, it would look good.



Some people said this looked more sci-fi rather than horror. With the A not being a complete A it looked more alien like than horror.

the barbed wire made it feel like it had a danger element in the film. However against a black ground the barbed wire effect won’t be as effective.




 Final choices

9 people said that they preferred this font over the rest.  Had a more graphic, violent effect.




5 people said that this was their favourite out of them all.



Script
As our main character is walking through the graveyard we have no dialogue just non diegetic, off screen sounds (music that hasn’t been yet published) and then as our character enters the black room we hear her sing the nursery rhyme ‘ring a ring a roses’ in a really low voice and high pitch so it’s quite creepy. There is no dialogue throughout our opening sequence, just our character singing.
(Josie walks through graveyard): Backing music
(Josie goes into chapel): “Ring a Ring a Roses, A pocket full of Poses, A tissue, A tissue...)
Credits: WE ALL FALL DOWN

Synopsis Planning


We wanted to do our filming in the cemetery on the 27/11/12 and then film the scary cut away shots of Amelia's face on the 28/11/12. However, when we went up to the the cemetery and the camera was put into night vision, we found that Josie's face looked really scary and it made more sense for Josie to just be the one actress for it all as it was more conveinant and it would have looked better.
So instead, we did film on the 27/11/12 but there was no need to spend another day filming when we had all the shots that we needed. Therefore on the 28/11/12 we had an extra hour editing.

Sounds Research


TICK TOCK JINGLE- This could be really good if was in the back ground, as an eerie suspense. This couldn't be the main sound as we need a loud drum noise when the cut away comes on the screen.
CREAKING  DOOR- This would be really good use of foley. As our actress goes to open the chapel doors the creaking door can open slowly. We need to see if we can slow down the creaking door to make it seem more realistic with the image.
DENTIST DRILL- This sound is perfect for the genre. However, for our opening, it wouldn't fit in anywhere. Therefore, we wont be using it.
DOOR LETTERBOX FLAP KNOCKING- this would be really good because when we have an image of Josie turning her heard round, this knocking sound could be the stimulant that she reacts to.
HOWLING SHRIEKING WIND- This is a really good sound for when she's walking towards the chapel. We need to find a way to successfully overlap all these sounds to make it not be too much of a busy opening scene to handle for the viewer.
UNDERGROUND- This howling sound will be perfect for the character walking through the cemetery. It adds suspense and its more atmospheric which makes it more realistic.
