Ideas for own film

Setting

We want the setting to be of a lake area to emphasis the idea of danger of falling in and we also want the surroundings to be forest because this gives the intention of something/someone hiding in there.

We want to film this as it gets dark so that it adds tensions and an atmosphere for the viewers to create the idea of it being horror and scary.

We want the film to based on the traditional, old fashioned horror films when they were in black and white as we feel this will be different to how others may perceive their film to be, we will put a modern twist on it but our aim is for it to be more traditional.

Characters 

For the opening clip to our film there will be two characters which will be a man and a girl.

The girl will have blonde hair and will look very pale. She will also look pretty but vulnerable.

The man in this will be older and will be hairy to emphasis the fact he is older. We want him to also look pale and a bit scruffy as we feel it will give more of a scarier look and will show this idea of vulnerability on the other character because people perceive killers and murders to look very manly and scruffy looking. 

Props

This type of knife will be used in our film as the weapon to modernise it. This will be used by the male character towards the female character. It will look sharp and it will have blood on it to show it has already been used and to give off the danger as to what might happen next.

This jacket will be worn by the male character to show he is older and is a typical outdoor person due to his well equipt outfit. This jacket will be significant through the film.



This balaclava will also be worn by the male character so that his face is hidden which adds to the tension of who this person is and what he looks like. Through the opening clip for our film this will always be on the mans head to not give away who it is.

This Iphone will be used by the female character to also modernise the film. The girl will use the phone to be reading texts and having a phone call.
