The Genre

This production will be categorised as a Horror as it will contain: Elements of the Extreme. Another reason we have categorised it as a horror is due to the soundtrack. And finally our films includes situations of The Unexplained.

Our Iconography, Style, Props, Setting and Themes will include:o A bloodied weapono Masko Eerie musico Dark slow movements followed by a fast cuto Candles and cloaks o Dark and isolated areaso Fear, Pursuit and Death

Titles within our Genre

• Robert Pattinson (Kai) is a 17 year old boy and will be the killer.

• Extra’s getting ready for the party.• Shia labeouf (Taylor) the popular yet cocky boy that ends up

getting brutally murdered.• Low budget British actor (Shia Labeouf’s best friend- Sam)• As it is not high budget other characters will be UK actors and

actresses available on a small budget

Character

Audienceo We want our film to appeal to a large audience, as it is

not a generic horror film it also has lots of twists and contracts to an original horror in the plot

o We want our film to draw in a wide variety of audiences because we will be incorporating a variety of styles and contrasting views in our film.

o This includes film-goers that like watching intense dark horrors with a slight action twist that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

o Generally speaking middle-aged adults men and women along with lots of teenagers mostly boys.

Audience

We are aiming to make our film a fifteen as there may be scenes relating to: • strong violence.• frequent strong language (e.g. 'f***').• strong verbal references death and gore.

Budget

We are hoping that even though our film will not be a big budget extravaganza it will still make a great profit not only from cinema but DVD and TV showing also. Our film will not be a big-budget but will also not be a low budget, it will com in-between these two and will have the same kind of budget such as the not long ago released British film The Woman in Black(2012).

Budget• We specifically direct our

pitch to Hammer Productions as the big corporate production company we want to sponsor us. We will also be speaking to other film production labels that specify in our style such Alliance films, CBS Films and other independent film studios.

*The TrailerWithin the opening two minutes of the film it would start with our we would expect to see a blacked out screen and only listening to non-diegetic sound of footsteps walking down a college corridor, flashing an image on and off of a close up shot of a professors ankles and shoes. The screen will black out as the footsteps stop. Hearing only breathing, ticking and the straightening of a tie. Screen returns as professor opens the door. He will enter the room opening the door to the classroom being filled with students talking and the door closing behind onto which it will cut to the bell ringing and class starting.

• (eerie music playing over scene) The opening would then lead on to cutting to a shot of the person who is hosting a party, ringing all close friends inviting to his Christmas costume party telling them to spread the word to other people. After we gain an image of the killer placing their head into their hand to place a mask onto face. This shot skips and flashes with the victims scream playing non-diageticly over the flashing images. (beat and black screen) Fades into: scene Young girl sitting on the floor, alone, crying. Fades out of. Popular young man getting himself into a confrontation with another student from bullying (swinging punches) (beat and black screen)

• Rustling in the bushes. Scene then fades into P.O.V shot of killer looking at hands with sharp metal object skipping back and forth between murder weapons scissors and metal object. Hears window close- quick movement, shifted attention onto victims second floor house window watching as the victim gets ready for party. Seeing breath in cold winters air, as killer moves to hide from people passing through. (Fades out)

death, picking up and putting together the pieces. After losing his mind he decides to interrogate and brutally murder each person he suspects to be the killer. In the final scenes Robert Pattinson places back on his mask to target Shia Labeouf’s best friend (Sam).

• Robert Pattinson finds Sam and begins to chase him into an industrial site, Sam trips over a chain and Robert Pattinson catches him, slowly walks up to him with the shard of metal he previously used and as he gets a few inches away swings his arm to kill Sam, Sam pulls out a pen and stabs him through the eye. Then pushes the pen all the way through and shouts F**K YOU at the top of his voice before crying standing up and then slowly revealing Roberts mask then as we see his face the movie ends.
