Proposal

Proposal

In this years course I will be creating a short film lasting 5 to 10 minutes with a poster that will come along with it and also a double page spread review on the film. I and my project partner we will be producing the same film however dissimilar posters and the double page spread will also be unique to one another as we must both learn the techniques of making a film on all aspects. In order to make this a successful project I will research in to short film posters and discuss the conventions with my project partner Lauran, we will also research into other short films that are the same genre as ours which is horror. Researching other films will give us different ideas that will be useful in our coursework; we will also be able to see different camera and filming techniques.

The title of the short film will be ‘The Supernatural’ as it reflects the contents of the film directly; however there still consists some vagueness which has an impact on the audience making them want to see the film. Furthermore the target audience we will be appealing to is 15 years and above as it is horror; the reason why we have chosen horror is because, it is a genre that slips into people’s subconscious thinking and has an enigma to it. Horror also has lots of adrenaline, which teenagers and adults appear to be looking for in the time we live in.

The story line will consist of a young girl very typical of the place she lives in, who studies at college she experiences mental visualizations/ hallucinations and voices after the recent death of her friend. After a while she tells her friends who do not believe in what she is saying. But as she alienates herself from her group of friends, they realise it is serious issue; their attempt to help her has come too late as she is found dead with mysterious bruises on her body.

We will be filming in college grounds, at a grave yard with given consent, so that the project is produced in a professional way. We will also be filming at a house, to show that the young girl is experiencing problems at home as well. The shots in college will take place in corridors and the canteen. For filming we will produce a risk assessment and recce notes in order to be abiding by health and safety rules of filming for the safety of the film cast and crew. Me and my project partner will also produce a timetable which will be a guide for us and make sure that we meet deadlines.
