Film Analysis



'The Strangers' is a film which we are using as a style model as such for our film. There are several clips in the trailer shown above which i believe are particularly eye catching.




This image at 0:49 is really effective. We see a middle age woman standing in her kitchen, typical conventional surroundings with a masked figure standing in the background. This is the fear factor. Its not so jumpy, its slow, subtle, and scary - perfect.



In this frame at 1:39 we see the three masked murderers and their two victims. This frame shows the intimidation factor which we wish to create with our killer.


This frame at 1:28 shows how sly the killer is. Silent as a mouse no body knows when he's around or where he's hiding. Again this is an aspect of the film which we are going to adapt and try to portray in our story

Logo Evolution


I typed in 'free logo design' on google and found a website (www.logoease.com) which enabled me to design the basic frame for our logo which will be displayed in our magazine cover and our poster design to promote both our film and our production company. I had to print screen the image and cut it from the print screen taken to a new Adobe Photoshop page. I went for a basic 3 eye catching design thats aesthetically pleasing to the audience and looks particually aproachable.

I went to www.dafont.com which is a website which i use for cool fonts. I also had to print
screen this image and cut it across to a new page on photoshop. I had to type Slappy magiC on one link and Productions on another page in order to fit it all in as shown in the pictures (left),

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
