We have been asked to research, plan and produce the opening of a horror movie. We are focussing on the first two minutes and have therefore focussed our research on this area. This has included researching the institutions which support horror films such as "Haxan films" and "Twisted pictures" and the way they distribute their films. After researching the history, mise en scene and audience expectations of the genre we began to plan our initial ideas. This involved us working closely in groups and asking the public what they would like to see in a new horror film. A questionnaire helped us target our audiences' needs ensuring that we produced the opening of a horror that would be successful in todays society.
We have used Maslow hierarchy of needs which has helped us plan an opening that contains generic signifiers. If our audience does not have,or feel, safe, secure or comfortable then we have achieved our aim of creating the horror genre. We have planned our ideas thoroughly and pitched them to a large group of people to attain permission to use the idea we had. we have also created a rigorous schedule for filming and editing to ensure that we meet our deadlines. This blog will tell you everything that you need to know about the process we have undergone to achieve success in this task.
