Planning: Location Planning

We have decided as a group that we would like the opening of iWatch will be set in an open field, to create the feel of an empty desolate place that is eerie and makes the audience suspicious. Luckily, all members of our group live fairly close to each other and we all live relatively close to the location we have decided to use for our horror film opening, which is completely accessible for all of us and our cast. Below are some pictures of the location:

As you can see, it is a very open space that is surrounded by trees. This picture was taken on quite an overcast day in the late afternoon, which is what we're hoping for when we film. This is because from the picture, you can see that it creates quite a dreary and eerie effect, yet it still creates mystery and tension, just through the weather.

   

Here, is a picture of a tree that we are hoping to use as the memorial for the victim for the opening of iWatch. We chose this because, it stands out from all the other bare, dull trees that surround it. This makes it seem very out of the ordinary and helps add mystery to the opening. The picture on the right shows a picture of the pathway leading up to the tree. This makes filming very easy and practical, as it is clear to the audience that as the figures are walking, you will be able to see the tree poking out from all the trees as well as the open space around it.

This picture was taken on a separate occasion, despite this, I have simply included it in this post as an alternative to the tree above. However, I don't think that this tree is more of a memorial as the other one. Also, it doesn't create the same effect as the tree above because it is a lone tree and doesn't stand out as much. The reason we used this as an alternative was for the particular appearance of the tree. As you can see, it is very bare and thin, which makes it look quite creepy, however it is not as accessible and wouldn't work practically to film with considering the area it is.

Planning: Screenplay

Research: Music and sound effects in horror films

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. 

Simon Boswell is famous for his involvement of music in  classic horror films. He has said that "Music in horror films is probably more powerful than in any other genre, so its good for a composer to do them because he can be very influential on the action." This is because of the natural, quick pace of horror films. The main purpose of all horror films is to scare it's audience and it is impossible to do this just through the visuals. Music should never distract the audience from the visuals on the screen, to do this the music should fit in with the action so it is not seen as a different part of the film, it should only be used to intensify the events in the film.
Orchestral  music is probably the most popular type of music used in horror films as it has been used since the creation of horror as a genre. Horror as a whole has a very dynamic range and that is why orchestral music is used so often as it allows the composer to create new and various compositions to fit in the film. Orchestral music also appeals to a wider audience, therefore it allows the film to help convey emotions and certain events.

However, orchestral music is not the only type of music used within horror films. Rock and metal music is often used as it creates a dark and mysterious mood that suits the certain visuals of the film. American Psycho uses 80's pop music which creates an ironic atmosphere and allows the audience to experience juxtaposition in film with the use of both music and visuals. Some people may think that by using this type of upbeat music it decreases the fear, however I believe that it creates more tension because it's such an unlikely convention to use in horror films.

In the majority of horror films there is an audio sequence. for example, the long build up of strings as the victim slowly approaches a door. Or for example in Jaws, you have two notes and it creates tension. This is because whenever audiences hear an audio sequence they are able to recognise that something is going to happen. However, not all horror films use this type of audio sequence. Another common sequence is that music is composed to follow certain events or movements in the film. King Kong is the most famous for using this concept, as the music rises and falls in direct movement with King Kong as he climbs up the Empire State Building. Psycho's famous "Shower Scene" is another prime example of this as the sharp strings are in direct movement with the slashing knife.

In many horror films, a certain melody is played to make the audience aware that the killer is around. For example in Friday the 13th, whenever Jason is around there is a very eerie sound that is played every time the Jason appears or is about to appear. Also, in the Halloween series, there is the same 3 note piano melody that was composed to allow the audience to know that Michael is around and ready to kill. These symbols are vital in horror films and the audience begin to expect them to be played.

Sound effects or SFX in horror films are used in horror films as the tie closely to the events that are played within the film. In most films, they are used to signify and make certain actions stand out. These sound effects tend to be very over- exaggerated. SFX also help increase the power and intensity of movements and actions, which is very important in horror films as they help create an obvious audio-visual experience.

Another sound effect used is called "Ambient Sounds," which are sounds that are joined to create background noise. Cricket sounds are commonly used in horror films, but in reality are only found in certain parts of the World. But as an audience it is so commonly used in horror films, we know that it is used to signify night time.

Speech in horror films is often manipulated to scare us. Speech manipulation is used to alter the pitch of someones voice to make it sound darker. For example, Scream uses a deep, rugged, yet scary voice to help identify the killer, despite us not actually seeing him. 

Planning: A treatment for the opening 2 minutes of iWatch

• The film starts with an establishing shot of an empty field.  
• DENCH Productions appears on the screen. 
• This then fades out into a black screen and the diegetic sound of the wind begins to play. 
• The black screen then fades to an empty field where the music gradually gets louder. 
• The next clip is three blurry figures walking up towards the part of the field where Josh's ashes were scattered. 
• It then cuts to a close up of a blurry picture frame being held in someone's hand. 
• After that, it then focusses on the picture frame and then the audience get to see Josh's picture for the first time, identifying the victim. 
• This then focusses out again and blurs. 
• It then cuts to them walking and someone putting the picture frame down. 
• The next clip is an extreme close up of one of the figures lighting a match, this can be seen as a false scare. 
• As soon as the match is lit, the music comes to a sudden stop.
• The only sound for the majority of the opening will be diegetic sounds of the wind.
• They then light a candle and place it next to the picture frame. 
• The next clips are extreme close ups of each of the figure's face. 
• This helps us to show the emotion, therefore the relationship's between the figure's and the victim (for example; someone's teary eyes, someone's sniffly nose and someone else's  quivering mouth.)
• Now it is silent, they hear Josh's voice and look at each other, then look around and discover an iPhone on the floor about 3 metres away from where they are standing. 
• There is a close up shot of the iPhone, not seeing what is on the screen. 
• It then cuts to a point of view shot over the shoulder's of one of the figure's.
• As a group, they all go to the phone and one person picks it up. 
• There is a close up of that person's hand slowly picking up the phone.
• A close up of the phone playing a video of Josh at a party and his face is shown in the video to identify to the audience that it's the same person.
• It then cuts to an long shot of the friends crowding around the phone, but from behind them there is a rustle of the bushes and they suddenly turn around. 
• The music then gradually begins again as they all walk back to the picture frame. 
• A point of view shot is used focussing on the picture frame and a blown out candle. 
• The next cut is a close up of the picture frame that has been replaced by a picture of a group of four people including Josh, however his face has been crossed out. 
• As an audience they are now aware of the figure's identities as there is a panning shot of each of there faces in focus for the first time and they realise that they are the same people in the picture. 
• Meanwhile, a heart beat is introduced when they return to the picture frame and increases as it gets closer to the opening title.
• It then suddenly cuts to black and iWatch gradually appears on the screen with a picture of the Apple sign covered in blood is shown underneath it, something like this: 

or something like this: 

And we would have iWatch written underneath it. We could recreate it by getting a stencil of the Apple logo and then splattering fake blood or red paint around it on a piece of paper and then write iWatch underneath it in fake blood. 

Planning: 2 Possible openings to iWatch

The first possible opening that we came up with is that the film opens straight away with the group of friends and family are gathering at a graveyard where he has been buried for his funeral and the friends discover an iPhone playing Joshes video there. The film then goes to the opening titles. 

The second possible opening is where the friends are gathered at a field where his ashes have been scattered and they go to pay their respects, however the peace is disturbed when they hear his voice and discover his iPhone, which is playing a video of him at a party. It then goes to opening titles. 

Research: Target audience feedback

Once we had collected 10 different answers regarding the opening to our teen horror film, iWatch.  The next responses that are included in this post are the 5 that we thought had the best responses. 

The first response we had was from Giac who is an 18 year old media student that goes to Kettering Buccleuch Academy. This was his response that we thought we could use in our opening of iWatch:

The next response we had was from Deet. He is 17 years old and enjoys horror films. This was his response and we thought we could take extracts from to include in iWatch: 

The third response was from Sophie who is 14 and loves all genres of film and is a passionate art student: 

The next response was from George and we thought his answer was really good and it gave us a lot of ideas to include in the opening of our horror film: 

The last response was from 16 year old Sam. Who again said that we should set it in a graveyard, which was also suggested by Deet: 

Research: iWatch opening survey

We've decided to create a question on survey monkey, to collect different ideas for an opening for our horror film, iWatch. You can complete this question by clicking here.

Research: Sharing our pitch with our targeted audience

The film is based around a boy, named Josh who has recently and unexplainably died and his friends, Lola, George and Rosie are visiting the place where his ashes had been scattered. All 3 of them go silent to pay their respects and all of a sudden they hear the voice of Josh who has died. They look around and discover what they think is Josh's iPhone on the floor playing a video at a party that he took before he died. One of the friends picks up the iPhone and he looks through all of the videos that he has on the iPhone. As they scroll through, they find videos of each of them in their everyday lives. Thinking it was Josh being weird and taking videos, they find another video that was taken of Josh, which is filming him getting ready to go to bed. The friends are really confused about what they just saw and now know that it wasn't Josh that was filming them, it must have been someone else..

Planning: 60 Second Pitch

This is the script for our 60 Second Pitch:

60 Second Pitch: iWatch

Becca: We're Dench films and my name’s Becca

Tayla: And my name’s Tayla

Holeigh:  And I’m Holeigh and this is our 60 Second Pitch on our teen horror film. 

Becca: iWatch is the working title for our horror film and our targeted classification for our audience will be a 15. 

Tayla: We decided on this because the film is based around a boy who has recently and unexplainably died and his friends are visiting the place to which they scattered his ashes .

Holeigh: All of them go silent to pay their respects and all of a sudden they hear the voice of their friend who has died. 

Becca: They look around and discover what they think is his iPhone on the floor playing a video at a party that he took before he died.

Tayla: The friends pick up the iPhone and look through all of the videos that he has on his iPhone. 

Holeigh: As they scroll through the videos, they find videos of each of them in their everyday lives. 

Becca: Initially they thought it was him taking videos, they find another video that was taken of the boy filming him getting ready to go to bed. 

Tayla:The friends are really confused about what they just saw and now know that it wasn't him that was filming them, so who exactly is watching? 

Holeigh: If you enjoy horror mysteries then you should watch iWatch.

Planning: Brainstorm

Research: Conventions found in horror films

In today's lesson, we looked at three different teenage horror film openings, Dead Mary, Dead Wood and Wrong Turn. We looked at all the typical conventions featured in horror films. Some of these included, secluded location, character investigates a strange noise or a character inexplicably falls over. 

Below, is the sheet we filled in whilst watching the openings of each film. 

We learnt from doing this that we should not use so many of these conventions within our openings. Between all three openings, they were all set in a secluded location and they all have fake scares within them. However, both Dead Wood and Wrong Turn, someone dies in the first 5 minutes. The film opening with the most conventions within it is the Wrong Turn. 

Another convention however that was not on the list was that, all three openings both had a male and female characters. There was no particular pattern to whether who died first, or who was the target. 

Research: BBFC

We have been asked as part of our research to look into the BBFC. We have been asked to do this because when we create our horror film opening we have learnt that you can't include certain things if you want a certain age certificate. For us, our targeted audience is teenagers, from 15 years on, so to be able to get a wider audience, you can't include certain things, so we have to be very careful in what we include in our opening.

About the BBFC:

The British Board Classification is an independent , non- governmental that is funded through the fees it charges for the viewing of films. The BBFC classifies films on behalf of the local authorities who license cinemas under the licensing act 2003. The BBFC also classifies video games which are released under the the Video Recordings Act 1984. The BBFC will not classify material which it believes to be in breach of the criminal law. The BBFC will carry out its responsibilities through appropriate use of the classification categories, particularly in order to protect children from any harm which may be caused. If necessary,however, the BBFC may cut or even reject a film or video work.

About the guidelines:
The guidelines, have particular regard to changes in public taste, attitudes and concerns and also, changes in the law. The guidelines are not a legal document. If any issues occur, they will be dealt with by the BBFC in line with their standards that are implied in the guidelines.

18- Suitable only for adults
The consistent findings of the BBFC's public consultations and The Human Rights Act 1998, at '18' the BBFC's guidelines concerns will not normally override the principle that adults should be free to choose their own entertainment. However, these are the more likely exceptions: 

• Where the material is in breach of criminal law. 
• Where material or treatment  appears to the BBFC to risk harm to individuals, or through their behaviour, to society. 
• Where there are more explicit images of sexual activity which cannot be justified by context.

R18-To be shown only in licensed cinemas, or supplied only in licensed sex shops, and to adults of not less than 18 years old
The "R18" category is a special and legally restricted classification primarily for explicit works of consenting sex or strong fetish material involving adults. Films may only be shown to adults in specially licensed cinemas, and video works may be supplied to adults in licensed sex shops. The following content is acceptable: 

• Any material which is in breach of the criminal law.
• Material likely to encourage an interest in sexual abusive activity.
• The portrayal of any sexual activity which involves lack of consent.
• The infliction of pain or acts which may cause lasting physical harm, whether real or simulated.
• Penetration by any object associated with violence or likely to cause physical harm. 
• Any sexual threats, humiliation or abuse which does not form part of clearly-consenting role-playing game.

Research: Horror Film Audiences

Why do people enjoy watching horror films?

The easiest explanation to this question is to look at how horror films are viewed. Horror was one of the first genres to be created and has been a huge success through the decades. It has been said that the enjoyment of horror is down to "terror psychology, morbid curiosity and an unconscious likeness to reality." Some people say that the enjoyment of horror films come from excitement, fear and the adrenaline rush. However, others have said that horror films are enjoyed through the bonding and socialising with others. In a statement by Mark Kermode he explains that, "Within certain certain circles, the very value of watching these films, or at least the value of saying certain things about the viewing experience, is to assert that they do not frighten but only amuse within certain contexts, it would be inappropriate to admit to being frightened by horror films." So it is safe to say that fear is not the biggest factor to why people enjoy watching horror films. 

It has been said that more mainstream audiences find pleasure in horror films through the concept of fear through others surrounding them. When people are asked why they enjoy horror films, the majority reply with the excitement or adrenaline rush. This makes sense as it makes the audience aware of the surreality in horror films, which manipulate the audience's fear into thinking that they are having an thrilling experience with no actual danger within the activity, despite being afraid and watching what is on screen. 

In an article about this, Tania Moleski explains that it is not the films that are scary, but it is the cultural statements, repressions and taboos on a subconscious level that makes us afraid. So, when the audience are watching a horror film, they repress their emotions and therefore it makes them think that they are more primal, so they enjoy it more, because they think that it is cool to act in a certain way when watching horror films and it allows them to show that they are afraid but enjoying it at the same time, this is what causes us to smile or laugh when we are being scared as it is the way that when we repress our emotions, that is the most common way of how people react, only a small amount a genuinely terrified. 

                   

Research: Audience perceptions and expectations

We were told to produce a survey that would help give us a better understanding of what audiences expect to see in horror films and what they enjoy about them. I created 10 questions that would give me an idea of what I should include within my horror film opening. 

The majority of people that answered my survey were aged between 14-16, which is what I wanted as the targeted audience for my opening is teenagers from around 15 years old. However, I did get other people from other ages to fill in my survey. 

14 out of 20 people that completed my survey, were female. This isn't the greatest response that I could of got because I would of preferred to have an equal amount from both genders to get a wider variation in my results. 

One of the questions I asked was if they enjoy horror. 6 people said they didn't and 14 people said they did, I also asked why and the replies were all similar. For no, it was because that it was "too scary," or they "feel uncomfortable to watch them." Another answer for no was that not all horror films have a clear storyline. However, for yes, a lot of people answered that they "like the supsense" and how they "keep you on the edge of your seat."

2 people said that their favourite horror film was Carrie, which is a 1976 supernatural horror, which is about a 17 year old girl who is continually teased and bullied, but discovers she has telekinesis and is pushed to the limits on the night of her prom. Sinister is 3 people's favourite film, which  is about a crime- writing author who finds home videos in the attack of his new house. As he ventures on to other home videos, the videos become more real. As the audience we see that there must be some sort of curse. The writer and his family can't handle life in that house, so they move back home, but they don't realise the curse has followed them home and their are terrible consequences for discovering these tapes. Quite a few people put that they couldn't choose a favourite horror film. This helps me see, that people enjoy quite supernatural horror films and ones that involve a fictional villain that people don't believe is real.

Another question that I asked was what scares people most in horror films. A large majority answered that music was the thing that scared them the most in horror films. The next most popular answer was fake scares and things that make you jump. Other people replied saying that the villain was the thing that scared them the most. This helps me see that music is a very vital convention that I need to concentrate on, when making the opening to my horror film. In the clip below, you will see how music and editing can completely change a perfectly non- scary children's film.

The most popular type of horor film is a serial killer, with 11 people answering with this. Zombie films are also popular, with bloodthirsty being one of the least favourites with only 2 votes and vampire horror films the lowest with no votes. However 2 people did skip this question, so I didn't get to see what their favourite type of film is, maybe that may have slightly changed the results. This helps me see that the most popular type of horror film is one with a serial killer in it, so its up to me and my group whether we want to go with a popular choice, as its likely that people would wanna see it. Or do we go for one that brings a whole different concept to horror with different villains?

The tension built and the storyline in a trailer is the reason why most people go to watch a horror film. The actor/ actress being another reason to why people go to watch horror films. This helps me to see what I need to concentrate on when making my horror film opening.

The victim's house (with 8 votes) or a haunted house (with 6 votes) seems to be the most popular place for a horror film to be set. The woods seems to be a less popular place for it to be set as it only has 4 votes, but the least popular is a lake with only 1 vote. But again, someone skipped the question. this helps me see what people prefer for a horror film to be located, but once again, do we decide on a whole different location?

The most common conventions that people expect to see in horror films are blood, murder and fake scares. An interesting answer that someone gave was that a typical convention that they expect to see is "bad acting skills." Which I personally agreed with, as the following video clips will show you, however I don't think this applies for ALL horror films. This may not be something that I need to have 100% focus on when making my opening, as it is only 2 minutes long, but it definitley is something I need to focus on.

Horror appears to be a genre that people don't tend to watch that often, only three people answered saying that they watch horror films "once a week." This helps me to see that I need to make a horror film opening that if it was made into an entire film, that people would want to watch more often then typical films.

Research: Horror Film History

For part of my research, we were asked to look into the history of horror and present it in a creative way. I chose to create mine of tiki-toki as it is very easy to use and presents my timeline very creatively. Here is my timeline of horror history: Horror Film History Timeline

Research: Horror Audience Survey

I am trying to find out what different people's expectations and views are on horror films. 

I have created a survey that you can complete by clicking here.

Preliminary Task: Evaluation

Preliminary Task: Final Edit

This is our final edited video that we have produced for our preliminary task. 

Preliminary Task: Post-Production

First Version

After story boarding our Preliminary task, we were given iPads to go out and film with. Once we had finished filming, we made a file called "DENCH Prelim." We then imported the file into the file, but we then realised that we had filmed it portrait, when we should have filmed it landscape. 

As you can see, the files have came out portrait and when we import them onto iMovie in the next step, you will see that the movie has came out too wide. 

Once we had imported the files onto iMovie, you can see that because we filmed it portrait, each clip has come out too wide.

Here is an example of a clip that we had filmed in portrait:

 Final Version: 

After realising that we had filmed it wrong, we re-filmed it in landscape. Here are the steps we took to begin editing our preliminary task: 

First, we imported the video from the iPad onto the iMac into a new folder called, "DENCH Prelim 2."

You can see here the difference between are first version and our final version already. Here, the clips are in landscape and not portrait. 

To begin editing or video, we opened iMovie and clicked on File, then Import, then movies. 

Then, we had to select the video that we wanted to import so we could edit, we picked the video from our "DENCH Prelim 2' folder.

This is the result when you have imported your video onto iMovie. You can now begin to edit your video. 

To cut different sections of your clip, you have to hold down on that clip and a yellow border will appear around the selected clip. You then drag that border to where you want that clip to begin or to end. 

Once you have the clip to the size you want, you can then hold down on the clip and with your mouse, drag it up to the far left corner. This is where all of your final cuts will be placed and you can add music and sound effects here too. 

To import music into your video, you go to the section of where the video is being played and if you look underneath, there is a music not sign. If you click on this 3 options will come up, iMovie Sound Effects, iLife Sound Effects and iTunes. When you have found the music or sound effect you want, to import it into your movie, drag it up into the  top left corner. First of all, the music clip will show up, saying that the music or sound effect will run throughout. However, if you do not want it running throughout, you can just hold down on the end of the music clip, drag it to where you want it to go to. 

Here is our final edit of our preliminary task. We cut many of the clips, to get the correct cuts that we desired and we added in music in some parts and a sound effects also.                                                                         

Mise-En-Scene

Mise-En-Scene is the arrangement of everything that appears in the frame from the actors, lighting, decor, props and costume. Mise-En-Scene translates to the "placing on stage."

Costume: 
One of the main uses of costume is to dress the actor accordingly. Costume can also been seen to show hierarchy in a particular scene. For example, if someone is wearing designer clothes and the other non-branded clothes, it shows that the character wearing the designer clothes has a higher hierarchy than the other character. Colour can also distinguish a character's characteristics and personality. For example, if someone is wearing red, red often portrays danger. 

Props:
Props are an object that appears on stage and is used by actors to further the plot or story line in a production. Props also define the difference between decoration and prop use. For example, if teh object is not used by the actor, then it is simply a decoration. Whereas, if the object is being used by the actor in a particular way, then it is therefore deemed a prop. 

Here is a PowerPoint on commonly used props used in theatre:
