Rough Cut

Final Cut

Software

This shows me using iMovie to edit my video, in this screen grab i had just uploaded new footage and had added it to the sequence. This is almost my final cut so it includes the sound effects which i have added. The clips at the bottom of the grab have orange bars across the bottom, this shows the parts of the clips i have used. There are also clips shown at the bottom of the screen that i didn't use, they weren't needed as i had other scenes which where better. 

This is a screen grab of me using garage band. I used this to create the music for the sequence and for the sound effects such as the church bell for a diegetic feel. In this grab i am creating the music for my opening credits. I used 4 different layers to create a good piece of music which represented the genre.  

logo

I created this logo on photo shop my getting an image of a gryphon and cutting out the gryphon. I then created a background with different colours and added effects to the, this then created a black space behinf the gryphon when i moved it away. I believe that this suits the genre now.

Plot Synopsis


A priest haunted by the brutual murder of his wife decided to do God work and get rid of all ‘sinners’ and kill anyone he holds responsible for his wife’s death. The only problem is he blames everyone for his wife’s death. He also see’s everyone as being a sinner. His downfall is he is sloppy he starts killing people to close to his own church. He has flashbacks of his wife’s death that makes him worse every time he see’s her. His Wife begins appearing around the church and tries sending him messages telling him to stop but he interprets these messages wrong.

Opening Sequence


Opening titles begin to play with music in the background. There is a medium shot of the priest getting ready the audience do not get to see what he is doing. It then cuts to an establishment shot of a man praying in one of the stands, the priest is visible in the corner of the shot. The priest falls back against the wall and then he has a flash back. The flashbacks are in black and white. In the flash back there is a high angle of the priest walking in on his wife laying dead on the floor of the church when she was working late in the church, he notices that the silver has been stolen to he then realises that his wife was murdered by a petty thief. It then cuts back to the current time. There is a deep focus shot of the guy praying as the priest works over to him, he begging to talk to the priest, the priest is concealing a weapon behind him and he strikes the man with it killing him. He drags the body in to an old room this is viewed in a high angle. Then there is a long shot of him hiding the weapon. There is then an establishment shot as he begins to pray and a woman comes in looking for something and he tell her to go into the room there is a tracking shot as she walks over and into the room. There is a medium shot of the woman and we see her reaction to the dead body and we see the priest come up behind her and swing the weapon at her it then cuts out before he hits her. He then falls on to his bed to go to sleep this is to suggest the violence that happened of screen. As he is laying in his bed there is a point of view shot as something begins to open his bedroom door. As the door opens more we realise that it is the ghost of his dead wife.


Target Audience

Opening Credits Of Halloween

The opening scene of Halloween starts by introducing the productions that have funded the film. It then goes on to introducing the film by first introducing the main start of the film. In the background the movies theme tune is playing over the credits. Next to the credits there is a glowing pumpkin this shows that the film is linking to Halloween and gives information about the movie. All the way through the credits the pumpkin is there and the music is playing in the background. As the credits go on the camera slowly zooms into the pumpkin on the screen this shows that the credits are getting closer to the end it also puts enthuses on the pumpkin making the audience think about the nature of the film. The music in the background is a high key piano this is a common theme in horror films, this type of music is used to create tension within the audience. The tittles are orange which also links to the film through the pumpkin and Halloween is usually represented through orange. These credits show to nature and give the audience an idea about the setting of the film. The credits come up in a usual manor ending with directed by. By the end of it we are fully zoomed on the pumpkin. It then enters the film, this is a black screen with titles on it. The titles on the screen give the location of the film and the time the film is set. In the background there are kids singing, children are a common theme with in horror films as children are used as a reversal of their nature, in the fact that we see kids as being innocent but when they are put into this type of frame they are seen as being evil and this helps to frighten the audience. It is also links to the film as Halloween is a children holiday and they children are singing a trick or treat song.

Audiences of Horror

 

A third of horror films now mostly aimed at males aged 18-24 years of age. Approximately 48% of horror movie audiences are 18-24 years and only 14% of horror movie audiences are 14-17 years of age. 61% of the horror movie audiences are male viewers. Horror movie audiences proffer to see films now basing around blood and gore. The target audiences would proffer to see this. A selection of the target audience se how they like to see horror films because the like the fear that they present. They also like the idea of unrealism. Most horror films are aimed at 18 year olds because there excessive use of violence, strong language, sex and gore.

 

My Opening

 

I intend for my opening to be certified as 15. This means that no one under the age of 15 should be able to watch this. This allows me to use certain amounts of violence and explicit language with out going over the top. This also means that I do not eliminate my older audiences.

 

BBFC

 

BBFC stand for the British Board of Film Classification. The BBFC is an independent company and classify cinema films and have been doing so since 1912. They certify films that fit certain criteria such as the amount of violence and strong language.

 

 

Classifications

  

Discrimination

 

This means that the film must not have racist behaviour or language displayed on screen.

 

Drugs

 

Drug taking is acceptable as long as it is not shown in a way which will promote the misuse of drugs. Drugs such as solvents that are highly accessible and dangerous are not aloud to be shown.

 

Horror

 

A strong amount of menace and threat is acceptable as long as it is not sexualised or sadistic.

 

Imitable Behaviour

 

Weapons that are easy accessible should not be glamorised and dangerous behaviour should not go into detail so that audiences may not copy this behaviour.

 

Language

 

Strong language is aloud to be used as long as it is not used excessively. Words such as ‘cunt’ may only be used if it is justified by the context.

 

Nudity

 

Nudity is allowed in a sexual context as long as it does not go into great amounts of detail. If it is educational or non-sexual then there are no constraints. 

 

Sex

 

If the primary aim is to cause sexual arousal or stimulation, then it will not be approved. Sexual activities may be shown as long as they don’t go into strong detail. Verbal references to sex are allowed as long as they are not too strong.  

 

Theme

 

All themes are acceptable as long as they meat the guidelines for a 15.

 

Violence

 

Strong violence is allowed as long as it doesn’t focus on infliction of pain or injury. Strong gory images will are unlikely to be acceptable. Sexual violence can not be displayed but verbal references to sexual violence is okay.

  

 

 

If the material breaches the law then it is a criminal offence.

 

When the explicit images from sexual acts that cannot be justified by context. Such images may be confined to R 18 but some are in ordinary 18 films.

 

Where there are images that risk harm to individuals through behaviour. Such as violence or dangerous acts and harm public health morals.

 

Sex scenes in 18’s can be used in educational circumstances and can be prohibited in that situation.

 

Sex material containing certain images such as normal sex can be passed as 18. However films, which have strong fetish material or incredibly explicit images are also confirmed to R18 films. Material which is unacceptable for R18 films are also unacceptable for ordinary 18 films. 

Genre

The first ever horror movie was The Devil's Castle (English title) created in 1896 by George Melies. Ever since then horror movies have slowly became bigger and bigger films. Horror films have been the longest lasting style of films. They range from serial killers to vampires and werewolves. In the 1930's Universal Studios where known as the king of horror movies from there success with the Frankenstein and Dracula movies. In the 1940's RKO studios became the horror movie central thanks to Val Lewton. Modern Horror movies have not moved far away from their roots apart fro their new style of gore, with modern technology and style horror movies are focusing more on violence and gore. These are now seen to be key factors in horror movies, there are still a few movies who believe that suggestive violence is still better than seeing the violence. It allows the audience to create their own visions of what is happening which can be more frightening that what is actually been showing on screen.
