Filming

we have Finally completed our filming, We filmed it in Theydon Bois in a house in which we used the kitchen, garden, corridor and living room. In this there are two characters which is the Home owner, and the killer. The plot of the trailer is to show the audience how the film is going to be, Its explains to the audience that the killer is obviously a lunatic with his mask, hat and ripped clothing, tries and sucedes to break into the house to kill the home owner. The home owner is made to look weak as we chose a smaller person who is young. This was put in to show that a parent or guardian has trusted him to be on his own.

Costumes

We are going to dress the intruder in rugged all clothes covered in mud and blood. We are also going to be putting a hockey mask on him with blood on it. He's going to be dressed as a typical lunatic with the classic white long sleeved shirt with black trousers which are also going to be ripped and muddy and his weapon of choice is a Kitchen Knife.

As for the residents who already live in the house they will be dressed in comfortable wear and for the younger ones maybe pajamas. This is because were going to try and make it as realistic as possible because they obviously wouldn't be we wearing suits in doors at night.

Location

We first need to make an establishing shot, We are thinking of doing it in a foresty place looking at a old alone house in the distance. We are doing this because it shows the audience that the house is going to be alone and in the middle of nowhere, which is in a basic horror film.

Then from this it is going to be shot within the house and at one scene outside maybe going into a forest. Inside the house we will be using the front room which will have typical features e.g television, sofa, mirror e.t.c in this shot this will be where the owners children will be watching tele getting ready to go to bed where as they walk past you will be able to see the intruder entering. After this we will have a shot of the owner  brushing their teeth in the bathroom where the intruder appears from behind. The last location will be outside where the owner and family are running away from the intruder

Our Final Idea

We have decided to now change our idea completly along the same lines as our last one, we are still going to keep the idea of a woman and a child but this time put in a teenager as well which will be male. But instead of using burgulars we are going to have a lunatic escaped from an asylum. He is going to be known as the Hillswell Murderer and has now come back to take revenge on the house where he was caught by the police. We have various shots of him approaching the house in the day through the tree's and then for him to plan his attack at night. We will then have shots of him cutting the telephone lines so there is no way of the police being callled. Then when dark falls one of the family members forgets to shut the window on when he makes his pounce by getting into the house. As it is a big house the other family members get to hide from the killer. While the killer is present there will be various scenes in which he will try to kill off the family members. He will be masked and will Have a Machete or a Standard Kitchen Knife. The killer Will be Fully Clothed in Ragged clothes preferbly black clothing and his masked will be stained to show he's been around for some time.

Other Factors

As we was going to do in our first idea, we will still be continuing with a poster for the film as well as the magazine front cover. This time though we will be changing what is on the front cover whereas before we would put the main 5 characters with two at the front and the 3 behind, instead we are going to put two people looking around a door to the Killer's. Whereas on the magazine front cover were going to have one star in panic with other usual feature's on a film magazine.

research

we are going to be making a survey now to see whether changing idea has been better off. In the questionnaire we will be asking a small amount of questions based on our idea's and the type of film its going to be. For example one of the questions is going to be -

What Genre out of Horror and Action do you prefer?

With questions like this we can find out exactly what we want to find out. The data will be represented in a tally chart in which we will receive the answers ourself. At the end of the questionnaire we will ask a question in which is based on what they would like to see in our film, whether its action or horror based because even if it is action based we could work on the ideas and produce them which would fit in with the horror category. Once we have this obtained we will be producing story boards and mind maps of all our ideas and then again ask the same people on which idea they think is the best.

New idea's

As a joint decision we have decided to change the film genre to a horror/thriller, the reason why we have done this is because we feel that as horror is george's strongest point and thriller is mine we could put both our brains to a more efficent way of film making. So now our trailers is based on a family home in the middle of the country side leaving a window open a night in which two criminals break into their house and then the drama begins. As this happens a mum and her two children aged 10 and 6 accomponied by thier mother are alone for the weekend as thier father is on a business trip. As the two criminals enter the house the 3 remianing family members are locked into a room. In this the phones have been cut off and they have to try and survive after the crimnals are not only there to burgle the house.

Research On Empire

Empire is one of the Film Industries main magazine. It has a layout that keeps only one Feature each week and that is the title. From the Picture to the left of us we can see that it Has the Name of the magazine EMPIRE in bold large font. This is used because it attracts the consumers attention and tells him or her immediatly what its going to be about. Also they tend to have a picture that takes up the whole of the cover, it tends to basically to have the "flavour Film" or what the magazines going to be about as its cover. In this case the picture has heath ledger's charachter " The Joker", the shot of it is a mid-shot and it used to show you who it is and what he is doing in the picture. With Comparasion to what ours is going to look like we are going to follow the same layout basics as a big title with a picture covering the front of it. Aslo on the sides we will put names of other films from fellow people in our groups as they do in EMPIRE.
