Costume

Film names

There were many different film names we could choose but we felt that 'The Trap' would fit the best, this also went down well with our peers.

Props

When making our first idea we decided we would need an Oiuja board, however when we changed our idea we did not need to use this anymore. Instead we just need to use a mobile phone.

Focus group

Here is an image of our focus group, our target audience will fit well with these teenagers as they are aged between 16-18. We asked what their favorite film is and the majority of answers were horror films.

Preliminary

Similar genres' production companies

The films we previously researched have been produced and directed by these companies. We researched into independant and smaller companies and found one called 'Dimension Films' they have previously distrubuted films such as: -Piranha -Scary movie 4/ 5 -Devil's knot -Darkness -Halloween -Phantons -The crow . The company started distrubuting in n 1992. The Weinstein Brothers took this label with them when they departed from the Disney-owned Miramax in October 2005. Which means they already had a pretty big budget to start with so it isnt independant as it was part of Miramax but it isnt anymore. These are just some films they have distrubuted, as many of them are in the horror genre we thought it would match our film opening.

Fonts

These are some of the fonts we may use for our credits. Our credits will include; our title, distribution company, staring, produced by, directed by, and editing by, we feel that this is the only information the audience need to know at this point.

Similar actors and target audience

We have decided that our target audience is teenagers of both sex. Films that our target audience may enjoy are 'Scream' and 'Shutter island' mainly because the actors in the films are playing around the same age, we intend to do this in our film as well.

Location Shoot

Music ideas

As you can see from this image we have asked our friend Corinna Underhill to compose a piece of music for our film, we have also looked into different types we could base ours on such as;
John Murphy's soundtrack for '28 days later' - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lXucG-LC_k&feature=fvst
Joseph LoDuca's soundtrack of 'Army of Darkness' - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlrrNbZNPTs
Franz Waxman's soundtrack of 'The bride of Frankenstein' - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHjJTtPR1Is
The theme tune from jaws - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3wGsVdAlnc

Character profile Adam Tippett

We have decided to use Adam Tippett because he is 17 years old and around the age we were looking for which also suits our target audience. For our film we are going to have a teenage girl and boy so he therefore fits in well to this category. We also know that he will be able film when we need him too, because he goes to the same school as us. In our opening we have decided that Adam will be playing the 'stalker' which is one of the main characters. We will not be seeing his face in the opening which will build suspense. In various films of similar genres they use over the shoulder shots like this.

Character profile Parys Gardener

We have decided to use Parys Gardener because she is 16 years old and around the age we were looking for, this also fits our target audience age. For our film we are going to have a teenage girl and boy so therefore she fits in well to this category. We also know that she will be able film when we need her to because she goes to the same school as us. In our opening we have decided that Parys plays the main character because she is a good actress. We have decided that she will play the weak, innocent girl getting watched, in the conventions of similar horror films they always have a character like this.
