Planning : Producing A Shot List
We made a shot list in our group so when it comes to filming. We will be able to see who’s in the shot and what the shot consists of and a little description of what is happening in that shot. It is handy to have a shot list. It allows you as a group to make choices about what is going to be done and when it is going to be filmed, so it can be effective for our target audience which is teenagers.
Planning - Considering Mise-En-Scene For Your Opening
Mise-en-scene is literally the 'what is in the shot' and it is everything that appears on the screen in a single frame. The advantage of this is to help the audience decode what is going on in the specific scene.
The following image is from the film 'The Woman in Black':
The 'Mise-en-scene" in this scene would be the dull, shadowy lighting, the old fashioned children toys in the dark corners in the room, as if they were exiled from the scene and the lack of colour.
When decoded by the audience, they get an impression that the nursery is a lonely room and, judging by the spider webs on the window, has not been occupied in a very long time. This is an excellent scene for a horror film because it brings tension as to the thought of a haunted house, bearing in mind it was locked from the inside.
For our scene we will be using a range of props including some small, workshop tools, a piece of paper with writing on, pictures of the old bullies in his life and a board with the proposed plan of action on it. The tools will give the realisation to members of a middle or even lower-class society that anyone is capable of inflicting danger to others. The plans on the board will show that this was planned and the sheers size and detail will give little doubt to the result of this act of terror.
The costume Billy (the main character) will wear consists of all black, hoodie, gloves, tracksuit bottoms and black trainers. The all black image will give the main character a mysterious and creepy look adding to the suspense the opening brings to the viewers.
The lighting of the film will be in daylight
Costume
Craig (Billy) will be wearing these type of clothes. Skinny tracksuit bottoms and a all black hoodie. These clothing are suitable for our film as we don’t want any of the clothing to stand out, we just want to plain so they can focus more on what's going on not what he’s wearing.

The props
In the opening to our film we will use some props such as this note pad to create the effect that Billy is creating a plan and that it makes sense to the audience who watch the clip. We also used a hammer and two petrol cans. They are essential for our opening as we are trying to set a feeling of fear this props will create this feeling.

Planning : Casting
Billy ,aged 17, who has been bullied through out the most of his school life, hasn’t got a job and has a small house. We have decided to appoint Craig burton as Billy for our film because we think he is a suitable person as he is committed and he is reliable. Craig is out going and happy at all times, he is not afraid to make a fool out of himself while working. He is confidant in front of a camera for the film because he is almost the same age as Billy and is enthusiastic when acting. Craig done drama in his GCSE so our group decided he would be better for the Billy role. The rest of our group didn’t do drama and we thought we wouldn’t be as confident to act and to play the main role in the opening of our film. Craig agrees that he will not get everything correct the first time we do it but he said he will give it his all every time.
We were thinking about having Jamie to act in our film opening to play the part of Billy. However we come to a decision that he would not be suitable as he was not very good at following instructions and goes off task and can be easily distracted at times.

Planning - Location Planning For Your Opening
Location planning is a very important part of the pre-production process for the opening to 'The Revenge'.
It is vital that we establish which locations will be needed for our filming and to then scout alternatives in order to decide which will provide the best shooting location for us.
Our film opening will need 3 locations to be scouted. These are as follows:
1. Exterior location. This is the outside of the house, in the back garden of the main character, Billy's house.
2. Exterior location. This will be in the garden of Billy's house. Someone will behind a tree filming billy watching what he is doing.
3. Interior location. This will be in the kitchen of Billy's house. We won't be showing the kitchen is this scene as we just need the wall.
We have decided the location for our film will be set at 10 Eliot close in our local town. We have picked this certain location because it contains the necessary equipment needed. For example there is an extension being built so the scenery is very good for our film. We also have permission to film here because the house also happens to be the director's (Ryan Loasby's) house. This also means it is very accessible and increases the amount of quality filming. Filming this in a rural, well populated, family area gives the viewer the idea that even people who have been brought up in a safe environment could be venerable to danger at any time without them knowing it. Ryan's house is in a quiet area so we wont get distracted by anything.

Planning - Producing A Storyboard For Your Opening
This is the story board we have made to help us with the filming process. We have different story boards which lets us know who needs to be in the scene, where we are going to be filming it, who is going to be in the scene and the dialogue that is going to be in the scene this is because it would give us a clear idea of what shot would take place next, in addition to this we could visually see what would need to happen in the shot with a brief drawing so we could see clearly what was going to happen next, giving the directors and the actor a better understanding of what should take place. Overall this was really important because it would make our group able to function more and with ease because we all knew what was going to happen next.

Research and Planning Self Assessment
Research into horror films
I think my research into the horror films was quite good as I started from the 1950s to 2000s.
Research into a potential target audience
I personally think that my research into the target audience was alright but not the greatest as it wasn't very detailed. It was accurate as it had a wide range of audience for the questionnaire.
Time management
My time management isn't the greatest, sometimes my homework is late or I may not have done a post in time but I will get it done.
Use of digital technology or ICT
I think my use of technology is quite good as I done ict for my GCSE and I have a good idea about the computers and what you can do.
Communication skills
My communication skills are quite good, I will speak to others and give them ideas and ill listen to what others have to say.
Level of care taken in the presentation of work
I think I take good care in my work but sometimes it can be rushed and not to the best of my ability. My blogs are in the correct order

Planning : Writing A Treatment For Your Chosen Opening
The film will start with a black background,then our production company name RJB Productions will appear in a eerie font. This then fades out slowly onto a picture of an old school photo in black and white with faces circled. Then some non-diegetic music comes in. The tone of the music is eerie.
Then close-up a pen is writing on a piece of paper.
A shot of him getting tools out of a shed and metal hitting metal,
Then as he gets the tools the eerie music stops and it goes silent.
Then before the next shot the music picks up the pace,
then a close-up of billy getting the tools together.
Establishing shot of a plan that he has on the wall.
Out of focus shot to a close up of a section of the plan,
then with eerie music being played for effect
A shot of him carrying the tools putting then down on the bench/side.
And the shot will then pan back down to the original plan.
A close up of the tools that he’s got together.
A over the shoulder shot of him sitting down at a desk with a computer,
A over the shoulder of him on the computer.
A close up of him cutting out faces on photos, cutting out text too.
Non-diegetic sound of a phone ringing in the background as well as the eerie music.
Opening titles appear at regular intervals throughout the opening and act as a kind of punctuation between events that are shown. The titles are white on a black background and are not overlaid over the top of the film.

Planning : Target Audience Feedback
We have made a survey on survey monkey and here are the results that we got. I would say that in the survey we had some mixed answers and a few people from different ages. We need some target audience feedback so others can say where we need to improve and how we can make our opening better.

Planning : From Initial Ideas To A 60 Second Pitch
The process for our 60 second pitch the processed we used was initial ideas, where we wrote a load of ideas on a piece of paper for suggestions that we could possibly use for our 60 second pitch. These are the ideas we had for the pitch.
Then after that we came up with our idea of a boy who wants gets revenge on people who used to bully him. We then wrote a little script that we could improvise off for our pitch
This is our whole classes 60 second pitch. You can find our pitch at 4:31in the video.

Research : The Importance Of Sound In Horror
The purpose of a horror films is to scare its viewer and the director will do this in all different ways. Scenes in horror films can usually be graphic and may contain images that are meant to scare you and the movie coincidently keeps our attention so we do no miss a thing. The can not only set the tone and how the events are going to unfold but it never distracts the visuals from the experiences.
The reason that people get scared during horror films is the music and sound effects that help create tension. If these audio features were not used during horror films, they would simply not be as scary. If you were to turn the volume down when you are watching a horror film you would realise the significance of well-composed music and sound effects that help create a truly terrifying experience.
Music plays a key role in a horror film because it immediately sets the tone. It also helps the director to set the mood of the scene and film. There is many ways to build up if something is going to happen here is some examples. A long eerie musical build-up suggests that a big event is just around the corner. A rapid sequence might suggest stress or panic, making the audience feel anxious. Music may progressively build to signify that a dramatic event is about to happen or it may be upbeat to lighten the mood. Music is the biggest contributor to getting the viewer’s adrenaline pumping. The viewer can feel scared before any events transpire based on how effectively and artistically music is being played in the background. A horror film with no music or the wrong music can not scare the viewer at all in-fact it could even make it funny or just boring to watch.

Research : The Importance Of Opening Titles
I went on to a website called ‘Art of the title’ and watched the opening scene of a movie called se7en. This opening scene included credits and pictures. What i learnt from doing this is that there are more credits than what I thought, I was thinking that there would be about 10 max but actually there was around 40-50. I was really surprised when I found out how many there were.
The first thing I done was watch the credits of the film Se7en and every time a credit came up I paused it and wrote down what it said and what time it was on.
Second I looked at the credits again but looked to say how the Typography was used such as fonts, size and colour etc was different in each of the credits.
Third I looked visual elements of the opening credits, I looked at the opening scene again and wrote down everything i saw like the credits but this time for the pictures.
Fourth I looked at the elements of sound, I watched the opening scene again but looked away from the screen so I couldn’t see it then I noted down everything that I heard.
Research Essay: Codes And Convention Of Exiting Horror Films
Red = Editing
Green = sound
yellow = Mise en scene
Codes are signs which have meanings behind them and they can be in two different categories. These are technical and symbolic codes. The technical codes is the way in which equipment is used to tell a story. This can also be done by the way it is edited and the diegetic or non diegetic sound. The Symbolic codes are seen through mise-en-scene, it is what can be seen if we really look into whats behind it. These codes are usually seen through the mise en scene, for example, a characters decisions or actions will show you what the character is like and how they are feeling, their clothing and how much they wear can be decoded to help us better understand what type of person they are and certain props have suggestions or connotations which can have a common meaning interpreted by the audience.

A Convention is something that you will tend to
see in all horror movies and certain ways of doing something; some examples of
this is: falling over when running away, a phone having no signal and no
battery, in a car and it either has no fuel or its broke down, you get close to
a safe enclosure then something happens which will stop you. This is how Codes
and Conventions are used in Media Studies: They are used together in any genre.
It is not enough to discuss a technical code used such as camera work and
saying how it is conventionally used in a genre.
Wrong Turn
Two people are in the middle of no where a boy and a girl. In the remote forest the female and the male are rock climbing on a cliff. The male reaches the top and prepares to help the female, the male went out of eye sight from the female and then she witnesses his sudden murder. Someone begins to pull the female up the cliff so she processed to cut the rope and falls to the ground. Then she then attempts to escape to her car but trips over a piece of barbed wire before being pulled back into the woods, screaming, by one of the three cannibalistic mutant mountain men. When the female is rock climbing with the male she has a lot of flesh on display. The diegetic sound in this movie was simply things just like the sound of the moving wire or a hook starting to break , although the non-diegetic sound really gave the film a sense a of danger as the tempo of the music starting to pick up rapidly and increased in volume to build tension. Moving onto the symbolic codes; the mise en scene used shows the female being slightly underdressed which will make the audience relate a bit more, blood on the body to show it was a vicious attack and a vehicle being used as a prop to show the safety. The main conventions found in this is a secluded location and a person running through trees and ends up falling over.

Dead Mary
A female is sitting in her car by herself
waiting for the boy to return with fuel for the car. The sign is swinging
making a noise which indicates that danger is near is danger is about to
happen. The atmosphere then becomes heavy as she is there on her own in
the car and then the female keeps looking around as she is in the middle of no
where, She then looks out of the car to see if anyone is approaching, She then
starts to sit back and relax and wait, she soon checks her phone to find out
that she has no signal on her phone so she holds it up to try and get
signal but she cant so if she's in danger she wont be able to get hold of
anyone. The female now looks in the glove box to see if anything is in there and
just so have it there is a flare gun so they can shoot that if they need to.
The male soon arrives with petrol so they can start the car and drive
off to their destination. When the female is sitting their in the car for
the man to return she has a lot of flesh on display.
Dead Wood
Dead Wood starts with a male running through a bunch of bushes and trees that ends up being faced with a jump where he has to decide does he just or does he not as a creature is chasing him, then cuts to his friend shouting his name as he’s gone missing from the girl. The male then decides to just and makes it most of they way then he starts to fall down as he try to pull himself up, the male then spits out blood and then falls down a cliff and dies. The Women comes out of the tent and looks around to see if she can find the male but there is no hope as he is nowhere to be seen. The female comes out of the tent she has a lot of skin on display, The diegetic sounds used in this movie were the branches snapping, leaves rustling and possibly the bird’s twerping which gave the audience the sense of nature which could be interpreted as safety but intact they are in the middle of no where, no one will be able to see them or even hear them so they will be in danger if anything happens.

Research : Analysing Codes and Conventions In Existing Teen Horror Films
Research: Codes and Conventions Of Horror Films
Codes:
Codes are signs which have meanings behind them and they can
be in two different categories. These are technical and symbolic codes. The
technical codes is the way in which equipment is used to tell a story. This can
also be done by the way it is edited and the diegetic or non diegetic sound.
The Symbolic codes are seen through mise-en-scene, it is what can be seen if we
really look into whats behind it. This can be shown by a characters actions, it
can show how they are feeling or what the character is wearing shows what type
of person they are.
Conventions:
Conventions generally are certain ways of doing something.
There are general conventions like the use of interviewee quotes in a print
article, but they are also genre specific. For example horror films have the same conventions are were two characters are in the middle of nowhere and cant escape or get help as they're in danger
This is how Codes and Conventions are used in Media Studies: They are used together in any genre. It is not enough to
discuss a technical code used such as camera work and saying how it is
conventionally used in a genre.
For example, the technical code of lighting is used in some
way in all film genres. It is a convention of the horror genre that side and
back lighting is used to create mystery and suspense.

Research: The History Of Horror Films
History in Horror
Horror is a form of art. They are make to terrify each other with tales that trigger the less logical parts of our imaginations for as long as we've told Stories. Horror films often deal with viewers' nightmares, fears and terror of the unknown. Plots within the horror genre often involve the intrusion of an evil force, event, or personage, commonly of supernatural origin, into the everyday world. Prevalent elements include Ghosts, Werewolves, Demons, Gore, Torture, Vicious Animals, Evil Witches, Monsters, Zombies, Cannibals, and serial killers. Movies about the supernatural are not necessarily horrific.
there are loads of different types of horror movies for example Frankenstein goes to Hollywood, Home counties horror and The America scream. Horror films way back as far as a 100 years ago, even from our earliest days films used imaginations to see ghosts in shadow shapes and they can also be emotionally connect to the unknown and to fear things.

Horror movies in the late 1990s predicted dire things for the turn of the century. Whilst January 1st, 2000 came and went without much mishap,many commentators have identified the true beginning of the 21st century asSeptember 11th, 2001. The events of that day changed global perceptions of what is frightening, and set the cultural agenda for the following years. Final Destination is a 2000 American supernatural horror-thriller film.

The 1950's had seen the
birth of the horror comedy, but it was the 1950's that saw the
introduction of science fiction horror pictures. The rising demand for science
fiction resulted in very few dedicated horror movies being released at first,
although many film makers still tailored their Sci-Fi pic's towards the horror
market to appeal to the drive-in movie couples.
This is an example of a film from the 1950’s
1960’s
Psycho presented the
monster so close to normal it was only in the final section of a film that they
revealed how monstrous a man could be. 1960 Psycho, which marks a
turning point. Norman Bates goes in the list with Frankenstein’s monster and
Nosferatu, but this time the monster had a perfectly normal, even likeable,
face and voice, and an innocent charm. Many horror and crime movies since have
been about characters with multiple personalities, but I struggle to think of
any such movies made prior to this. Suddenly the danger had shifted from an
external monster into the interior of someone’s mind, which made it less
tangible and predictable.
1970’s
Psycho presented us with Norman
Bates, the monster so close to normal it was only in the final section of the
film that he revealed how monstrous a man could be. Based on the real-
life. this reinforces that kids can be spooky and unwanted, and do bad
things to their parents. This theme continued into the 1970s where it came to
dominate. The crumbling family unit becomes the source of much fear and
mistrust. This time around 'the enemy within' is not a shape shifting alien from
another planet altogether. This time the enemy is to be found in your own home.
1980’s
Horror movies of the 1980s (which probably begin in 1979 with alien) exist at the glorious watershed when special visual effects finally caught up with the gory imaginings of horror fans and movie makers. Technical advances in the field of animatronics, and liquid and foam latex meant that the human frame could be distorted to an entirely new dimension, onscreen, in realistic close up.
1990’s
In the 1990s for the most part, cinema attendance was up - mostly at multi-screen cineplex complexes throughout the country. Although the average film budget was almost $53 million by 1998, many films cost over $100 million to produce, and some of the most expensive blockbusters were even more.
