Who are you working with?

• I am going to work with Amy and Weronkia. The

reasons why I am going to do my media

coursework with them because they are my

friends, they are in my media class as well as

they did GCSE media so they are experienced in

filming and editing.

• We might have problems working together,

because we could get distracted as well as lose

focus on the main task. However we will

overcome these problems, by giving equal tasks

to each other as well as managing our time.

Ideas of our opening sequence

Horror – Through our research we discovered a great slides show (http://www.slideshare.net/marine18/horror-genre-conventions) From this we learnt about the conventions of a horror film would be a dark, isolated, gloomy settings which would have an impact on the audience.

Our ideas

Characters

Settings

Sound

Techniques

• Urban environments

• Dark, gloomy, lonely settings

• Locations:- graveyard, train station,

abandoned house and church.

• High and low angles- To connote fear

• POV (Point Of View) shot this allows you to look through the eyes of the character

• Behind shoulder shot

Little girl dies because she drowns, mum blames herself of the accident- grieves eventually drives the mum insane and she kills herself.

A 13 year old girl called Hope. • Brown Hair, hazel

eyes • Floral white dress, no

shoes

• Diegetic and non-diegetic sound

• Dramatic, tension building sound.

Production NamesFounded in 1913 by William Fox, the studio had begun producing

the famous Movietone Newsreels (the precursor of today's network

newscasts) even before they moved to their current location.

Fox had opened their studios in Century City in 1928, on land

which used to be the personal ranch of Western movie star

Tom Mix. Seven years later, Fox merged with Twentieth Century

Pictures (which had been founded in 1933 by Daryll Zanuck, after

he left Warner Brothers), and the company became 20th Century

Fox in 1935.

On this day, May 8th, in 1912, Paramount Pictures was founded as the

Famous Players Film Company. The Famous Players Film Company

initially focused on creating full-length films with the leading theatrical

names of the time in hopes of gaining middle class appeal. Famous

Players Films were first released through the Paramount Pictures

Corporation start-up company. Famous Films eventually took on the

Paramount name in 1914 and became the first successful nation-wide

film distribution company.

SlogansFrom the website ‘http://www.taglineguru.com/moviesurvey.html’ I accessed,

taglines/ slogans from all different films genres of films and are marked by this

criteria:

Suitability: How well does the tagline capture the central theme, appeal, or essence

of the film?

Creativity: Is the tagline clever, playful, humorous, ironic, etc. – expressing its

message in a fun and creative way?

Originality: Is the tagline surprising, disarming, or uncommon – revealing a unique

or unusual attitude or point of view?

Memorability: Does the tagline demonstrate an ability to influence popular culture

and language?

No mercy. No shame. No sequel- Scary Movie (2000)

The tagline reads "No mercy. No shame. No sequel.", the last reference being an ironic nod towards the tendency of popular horror movies becoming cash cow franchises. The film was originally titled "Last Summer I Screamed Because Halloween Fell on Friday the 13th". Scary Movie

SlogansSuccess didn’t go to his head, it went to his neighbour. – Envy (2004)

What’s eating you? – Jeepers Creepers (2001)

Slogan Ideas

‘The last breathe you took,

was my last memory’

‘When will your

last breathe

be?’

‘Loneliness thrives off insanity’

‘ What would you

do?’ Yet again, we

decided to use

another rhetorical

question, to directly

ask the audience as

well as make them

think what they

would do if they was

However, this slogan relates to

the film because the mother

losing her little girl, in such a

tragic death in her own home;

the mother’s life becomes so

unbearable to not wake up

everyday to her daughter drives

her insane which eventually she

kills herself.

This slogan suggests that when the

daughter died that was the last

memory that the mother had of her

daughter as the mother forgot

everything but her daughter's death

which she feels responsible for and

grieve controls her life.

We like the use for this

rhetorical question, as we

want the audience to feel

as if we are asking them,

when they know they are

doing to die- they don’t.

This slogan, relates to the

film as the Mother did not

know that was going to be

her daughter’s last

breathe.

Final DismissalChild

The Nightmare

Through group discussion, we created this brain storm. As a group we decided

that our film, should be called ‘High Hopes’ as it links back to the story as well

as that the parents have high Hopes, to find who murdered their 13 year old

daughter.

Page 10: Brainstorming ideas

Actors My actors are going to my friends from A-level Drama, as they can adapted to the role easily as well as play their role to the best of their ability, therefore portray the characters how we want them to be represented by the audience. Although, they are my friends therefore we might get distracted, while filming. However, as they are professional A-level students they will focus on their character, so they will not become distracted because, they will take their role seriously.

Page 11: Brainstorming ideas

Stereotypical Characters-Female Victim Portrayed as

vulnerable, need of protection, stupid as well as annoying.

The representation of women portrayed in this light is from the sexiest era.

When this character is killed, it is usually gruesome or graphic.

This character helps builds suspension in the audience sometimes will be killed

Her behaviour often puts the audience on edge and jumps, whenever she does.

Page 12: Brainstorming ideas

Stereotypical Characters-Non- Believer

Portrayed as cocky as well as arrogant, convincing the other characters that they are overacting over nothing.

Lead them to being killed first, they are often triggers other characters death.

To begin the audience will listen to this voice as a reason and reassured therefore be slightly calm.

Shortly killed after, the audience panic and all sense of security is lost and the audience don’t feel safe anymore.

Page 13: Brainstorming ideas

Stereotypical Characters-Hero

Majority of the time it’s a male, strong, masculine build

He tends to be the brave character and goes after the murderer, often never returns

Majority of these characters show little emotion throughout the film stay strong and supportive of the other characters.

In modern horror films, they have decided to challenge the stereotypical representation of the Hero. As in some horror films, which challenges the older, more traditional conventions and makes the story less predictable.

Page 14: Brainstorming ideas

Stereotypical Character-Hysterical Character

Usually female character

Usually known for not wanting to leave the building. From witnessing a murder of their friend, as a result she usually breaks down as well as becomes upset.
