Filming

We decided to film in Dover at a barn as originally we decided that it is where the killer in our film was brought up, and where he kills his victims. A member of our group went and took some photos of the place: 

 

However once we went to film there we only managed to get a few shots and it got dark extremely quickly. 

Therefore on another day we scheduled to do some more filming although at another location. This is where we got most of our filming done, and came up with some more ideas whilst we were there. Not all of the filming has been used but short clips have been added to create effect. We again had to film quite quickly because it was rapidly getting dark however we managed to get some key shots including the shots which are made to look like they are from the killers view. 

Here you can see the victim and the camera does a whip pan shot which shows the initial attraction for the girl. We used this location to do this because it had a bridge which will show the authority and dominance of the male killer character. 

Target Audience, Log Line, and Blurb

Our target audience alike many other horrors is people between the ages of 15-30 specifically, however open to older audiences also. The main way we intend to interest our audience is by having actors of a similar age therefore they can relate which makes the whole film more interesting but also scarier as they believe it could then happen to them. We have a stereotypical storyline which includes a male villain and a female heroine. Although it is stereotypical and conventional which could drive some people away as they might believe it to be a predictable storyline, we know it will be popular as horror is a mainstream genre gaining many viewers because it is a type of film we know people will and do go to see. We have including some religion in our film so it links in with the convention of breaking Christian moral boundaries, and this convention we feel will interest our target audience. The certificate on many films is 15, and we intend to do the same. 

Log line:

Ainsley Moore has an average childhood being brought up on his family farm until one afternoon he whitnesses his father doing an unspeakable things... Following in his fathers footsteps can anyone change or stop him? 

Blurb:

Ainsley Moore (Ainsley Jones) was brought up in a typical Christian family, on their farm in Northern England. Until he whitnesses his father committing the greatest sin of all. In later years Ainsley continues his fathers legacy believing what's wrong is right. After years of slaughtering, slashing and secrets can his next victim Lacey Jonhson (Hannah Smith) finally bring an end to this madmans reign? Will she be able to stop him before he stops her... 

Story Boarding

We came up with several ideas for our production. We have stuck to our story board quite closely and have used it as a template which made it clearer for us actually start filming and putting it together. 

As the killer in our filming is troubled from their childhood we wanted to show some clips that resemble childhood, so we have filmed swings and other play park objects. 

We wanted to show some shots from the killer's perspective, so that it was like he was watching her, it will also create an enigma for the audience of "who is she?". 

The camera will follow the girl, so the audience know it is her that something is going to happen to. 

We want the camera to be inside the car and to be now focused on the muderer. We will have a shot of the boot being closed on the girl, as if it is from her point of view. It is also very dark, using the conventions of a horror film. Being dark creates tension for the audience and we are hoping it makes them feel scared so they are obliged to find out what happens next. 

To try and include match on action we had two shots of the muderer going into a shed. 

 

The killer goes into a shed which creates mystery and shows him being quite natural about how he has just killed someone implying that he has done it before and he might do it again. We are having a shot of turning the lamp on so it goes all white, which then transitions into the next shot. 

These were originally the final shots of our film but after discussion we decided to make it longer. The shots include the killer walking away from the desk with newspaper letters spelling out the name of our film 'HORREUM' (which is Latin for barn). We think this is an effective title and instantly makes people know it's a horror, as it's short, unexplained which creates mystery and overall is similar to the word horror. 

We decided to add these shots to create normality, start the storyline and to fully introduce the muderer. He enters his home, and straight away washes his hands which indicates he has just gone and committed the crime which was vertually showed in the beginning. It's a clue to the audience to let them know that he is the killer. 

The last shots are of Ainsley (the killer) at the table with his family, which shows how much of a normal life he leads leading the audience to be more horrified and connect with the film more because it implying anyone is a killer.
