Make-Up Design Sheet

Normally, a make-up design sheet shows examples of pre-existing characters that the film producer thinks are good and would want to base their threat on. However, because in our film you don't see the threat, so we are going to use it too analyse victims we think we could use.

                                                                                                                                                                          

This photo we got off the internet. We chose it because we may choose to use a silhouette in our ending and we thought this was a good example because of the use of backlighting. 

This is a shot of two characters from friday 13th. We chose to preview this shot because they are normal examples of teenage victims in a horror. Our victim is a teenaged male and we thought that these two characters were a good example. 

This is another example of a silhouette we could use in our film. This one however is different because is quite a light one. 

Film Script

This is our film script. This details the narrative side of our film and the dialogue involved. This is useful to us because we can use it to show our actors what they need to say. But also, and possibly more importantly, the stage directions involved will give them a clear indication of what we want them to do as actors and therefore are less likely to make a mistake. We can also refer to it during filming to clear up any related issues.

Step/Film Outline

This is our final Film Outline.

In the forth section of our shot list, there's a duration of 16 seconds for one shot, this is far to long therefore the shot will be reduced and spilt up into different shots or the duration on the shot will just be reduced and the information in the dialogue will be reduced.

Storyboarding

This is the storyboarding allocation:


Sam Cox - Beginning up to current times. - This is the title sequences and the Fire and Burning sequence. Current Times (Daytime) - This is the introduction of the Graffiti Youths and one of them telling the myth plus Current Times
Andrew Martin - (Night time) - This is the climax of the threat. When the youth gets attacked by the children.

Although it appears Sam is doing more than Andrew, Andrews section contains more shots.

Film Test Shot of Graffiti Youths

This is the Test Shot i took for our film. In the Test Shot are two young male youths who in the film paint graffiti and then explore the factory, eventually becoming victim to the "Little Treasures". I took the photo at night because in our film the climax of the threat is at night and so it seemed only right to do so. For the photo i asked the subjects to dress in dark clothing, blacks and greys, because i believe this to be the typical dress of graffiti painters. Also, both have hoods up. This would be too hide their indentities. Unfortunatly, my friends which are the boys in the photo didnt take it seriously, but i still managed to get a photo that showed how we propose to dress our graffiti youths in our horror film. We have also here included the permission/release form.

Horror Film Outline

Title - Buried Little Treasures
Location - Abandoned storage facility.
Theme - Many years ago, a fire happened in the warehouse, now haunted.
Characters - little children (voice overs)
                   1/2 teenage boys

Plot -
the beginning of the film will be introduced by the title of the film enrolling onto the screen (in a creepy effect)
The beginning of the film: we begin with a long shot of the warehouse lasting about 4-5 seconds to create the atmosphere for the film and create a location for the viewers to visualize. To follow, we will have a couple of rapid close ups and low angled shots of fire and voice over of young children screaming and being in danger located in the abandoned warehouse. we will also have the voice overs of the nursery rhyme "ring 'a' roses" which should last approximately the majority of the film.
As the film proceeds, we flow onto clips of burning and fire, along with the children screaming over the top of the clip.
We are then bought into current time where  one of  the boys tell the other a myth of the children who haunt the warehouse, we hear a loud crash from somewhere in the warehouse to create an airy feeling.  Later on in the day the other boy who was told of the myth and warned not to go near the warehouse ignores the warnings and goes on instinct to explore the building further. We see him just about to enter the warehouse, voices of children are heard in the background slightly distorted and quiet , creating a higher level of tension and atmosphere. The film then ends when the teenage boy screams in terror and we hear the "little treasures" behave in a malicious manor giggling that they have caught their next victim.

Pitch Feedback

After we did our pitch we got some constructive feedback from the group.

- The group liked our nursery rhyme idea and so we will be using that.
- The group felt that an age certificate of 12 was too young for what we proposed. This is fair and makes sense and so we will raise the certificate to 15.
- The group felt our film outline was too vague. To correct this we did a detailed list of shots so we knew exactly what we are going to film.
- Our plan was also too complex. We've made it more simple and gone for quantity of shots instead.
- Sepia will be used to solve the era issues.
