Company Logo

This is the logo that I made for my film company. I used DaFont for the main text and Photoshop to apply filters and the word 'productions'.
I used a font that resembled cuttings from a magazine as a lot of the time in thriller and horror films, if there is a kidnapper or a murderer, they will leave notes in magazine and newspaper cuttings so that whoever is hunting them cannot match their handwriting to anything. I also used a filter that made the background appear like parchment to give it a written effect.
I chose the title of 'iScream' as it is a play on words - it sounds like ice cream but really it is 'I scream' which fits in with the horror genre as the audience would normally 'scream' in horror.

Risk Assessment

I created this risk assessment in order to outline any risks or possible accidents that may occur in the making of my opening sequence. This is useful because it allows me to review any dangers and help me to avoid them.

This is a treatment sheet to look at other films that inspired me and that also helped to define the horror/psychological/serial killer genre. It also allowed me to develop my ideas further by looking at other, similar films.

This call sheet allowed me to make somewhat of a list of all the things I would need for my film (props, costumes and equipment) as well as who would be playing which roles and which settings would be used.

I collected this research from the official BBFC guidelines website in order to help me to determine what rating should be given to my opening sequence. In this research, I discuss these guidelines and also discuss which rating I have chosen and why.

The Unborn - 9 frame

The Unborn 9 frame

I chose to analyse The Unborn in this 9 frame because - like Silent Hill - it contains a lot of psychological elements, particularly when the girl is running alone.
This 9 frame basically discusses 9 shots from the film, discussing camera angles, mise en scene, sounds and editing and the effect that all of these things have on the movie itself and the audience.
