Makeup option 2.

This is another option which we could use for our makeup. Again this would be on the forehead.

Makeup option 1.

This could be one of the options for our makeup using the scar idea. However we would add blood to this to make it appear a new wound and it would also be on the head.

Location Research

Location Setting- College

This could be one setting, in the college location,
where the argument between the girl
and the best friend takes place.  It is an area
where a lot of people will see that argument, however
 they may also be a lot of background noise 

This is another location which we could use in college,
this location is more quiet and out of the way so
we may not get people walking past on the film.

This is one of the locations from a birds
eye view so that we have got all the background
and what is around the location.

This is again another photo from a birds eye view

This is another location which is from a
bird's eye view. This shows the whole of
college.

This is another location which we could use
in college as it is a setting which is related to students
which will then fit into the clip with the two best friends
arguing at college.

This again is another location which we
could use for our film as it is
a location which is related to the two
best friends as they are both
at college and that is the place where the argument takes place

Similar film- clip

This is a clip from the horror film Psycho this is similar to my film due to the location of the murder, which is a girl who Is murdered in a bathroom; in my film a girl is also murdered in a bathroom. The similarity between both films is the location of the murders

Similar films to my film idea- Images and descripton.

Similar films.

Psycho: This is slightly similar due to the setting of the murder. In psycho the girl is murdered by a man whilst she is showering in her bathroom. Also in my film idea the girl is also murdered by a man within the college bathroom and she is similarly left to die on the bathroom floor.

Scream: This is also slightly similar to my film, as in scream there is a serial killer within a college out to kill the college students one by one. Also in my film there is killer loose within the college who has already killed one student and is then pursuing another student.

 

Setting-Pub.

Pub.

One of our chosen settings is the Millers Inn pub. This will be the setting to the argument between the mother and the daughter, where they will argue about the past and how the mother left her daughter as a small baby; the mother will be holding a cigarette as a prop and when the daughter angers her will storm off past the pub in a rage.

The pub was chosen as it is relevant of the mother to be at a pub; the mother is a no good mother and a alcoholic so the pub was chosen to emphasize the mother's character. For example if we would have chosen somewhere upper class like a university for this scene then it wouldn't have made sense and the character wouldn't have fit in.

Audience Profile

Our film is going to be certificate 15. This is because the film is not going to be suitable for children. For the film to be certificate 15 it must include 'strong violence'. Since our film includes a murder and gory scenes anyone under the age restriction may find these scenes disturbing. 'Drug Taking' is also included in certificate 15. The mother in our clip will be taking drugs therefore needs to be certificate 15. No other aspects of the certificate 15 such as sexual references will be used.

Crime/ Thriller Genre- Settings

 

A final setting for a crime scene is in a dark forest where the
victim and the murderer cannot be scene or heard, the victim can also
be buried here or left to die in pain from injuries with no one near to help
in some crime dramas the victim who is left died is left for a long
period of time until someone comes across the victim.

 Crime/ Thriller Genre Settings





One Setting of a crime film is a haunted,
 spooky or old house. This scares the audience
 as haunted houses are seen as places where ghost are
 and are usually located in a quite area where they is no one around for help.

A further setting of a crime scene is in a dark room
where the murder cannot be seen and therefore adds tension
to the film as the audience are unaware who actually
kills the victim.



Another Setting of a crime drama is a dark street
where the person is unable to get any help and is also dark
so people are unable to see what is happening
 or know what happened after the event.

Certificate of Film

Certificate of Film

A film with a certificate of a 15 usually includes any of the following:
-strong violence
-frequent strong language
-portrayals of sexual activity
-strong verbal references to sex
-sexual nudity
-brief scenes of sexual violence or verbal references to sexual violence
-discriminating language or behaviour
-drug taking

Violence at a 15 can be strong. It should not dwell on the infliction of pain or injury, however, and the strongest gory images are unlikely to be acceptable. Strong Sadistic violence is also unlikely to be acceptable.

Our film is a certificate 15 as it includes strong violence as they will be a scene of one character killing another. One of the suspects will also take drugs so again this will come under a certificate 15. People under the age of 15 should not watch the film as it will have disturbing scenes which may cause problems to the audience who will be watching. Our film may also include strong language however the main focus of the film is murder so the language may not be frequent. Our film does not include any sexual activity, violence of scenes of nudity.

Shot terms.

180° line of Action- The 180° rule of shooting and editing keeps the camera on one side of the action. The camera stays on one side of the axis of action throughout a scene, keeping the characters grounded on a particular side of the screen or frame and keeps them looking at one another when only one character is on screen. Shot-Reverse-Shot - Shot-Reverse-Shot is a film technique where one character is filmed looking at another character and then the other character is shown looking at the first character. Match on Action (Match Cut)- Match on Action is an editing technique for continuity editing in which one shot cuts to another shot portraying the action of the subject in the first shot. This creates the impression of a sense of continuity. The action carrying through creates a 'visual bridge' which draws the viewers attention away from the slight cutting or continuity issues.

Storyline

Storyline.

Genre: Crime.

The college was darkly lit and Hayley and Eve were the only ones left in the building as they had stayed behind to catch up on work, Eve explained to Hayley she was going to the toilet and got her coat and walked off to the toilet; a fair while (15 minutes) had passed by and there was no sign of Eve so Hayley decided to go see what was keeping her.Obliviously she walked down the corridor to enter the toilet with a handful of books and folders, as she began to push the door open she hit something on the other side and was unable to open the door, as she pushed the door harder it finally opened and an arm fell round the door, and it then became obvious to Hayley that this was Eve laid on the floor dead.In shock she dropped all of her books and folders and turned and ran out of the room and began running down the corridor; as she continued to run the lights began to flicker and turn off; in the corridor Eves' coat was laid with blood covering it.

She ran towards a door and as she neared it a dark character grabbed hold of the door and pulled it tight, she then turned and ran towards a second door and pulled it shut trapping her inside the building. Shocked and terrified she ran into the library and tried hiding behind the shelves, it then became apparent to her that the dark character was also in the library with her and aiming to track her down; she continued to move in and out of the book shelves keeping her eye on the character at all times. Unfortunately Hayley then looses sight of the dark character in-between the book shelves so heads and runs for the nearest door but out of the dark the dark character steps out in front of Hayley and just stands in front of her, the film then cuts.
